"The cold biological truth is that sex changes are impossible. Every single cell of the human body remains coded with one's birth gender for life. Intersex ambiguities can occur, but they are developmental anomalies that represent a tiny proportion of all human births." -Camille Paglia

(Philadelphia, PA)—[LifeSiteNews] In a surprisingly aggressive stand against the politically correct tide, feminist bestseller Camille Paglia asserted that transgender puberty blockers for children are "a criminal violation of human rights." (Photo: Camille Paglia/Macleans/via TheBlaze.com)

"I condemn the escalating prescription of puberty blockers (whose long-term effects are unknown) for children," she flatly stated, adding, "I regard this practice as a criminal violation of human rights."

"I think ... the current transgender wave ... has been produced by far more complicated psychological and sociological factors than current gender discourse allows (to be considered)," she said.
 
Prefacing her comments with the universally agreed principle that everyone "should be free from harassment and abuse," the academic and social critic concluded, "No one deserves special rights, protections, or privileges on the basis of their eccentricity"...
