Therapist Exposes the ‘Pathological’ Mentality Behind the Transgender Mutilation Pipeline
17th March 2026
Transgender surgeries and cross-sex hormones represent downstream effects of a basic failure in therapy that sets patients up for long-term harm, warns a former trauma clinician who now crafts policy to protect people from these experimental “treatments.”
Therapists who try to treat people with gender dysphoria—the painful and persistent identification with the gender opposite one’s biological sex—often recommend patients undergo medical interventions to make a man appear female or vice versa. This represents a lack of hope, Dr. Jennifer Bauwens told The Daily Signal.
The decision to “medicalize” a patient, rather than trying to treat underlying psychological trauma, traces back to a therapist’s lack of faith in his or her own abilities.
