Second Winds Group Supports EUGENICS Program Targeting POC

Second Winds Group founder, Nick Calandra, organized support for Trans Lifeline, an organization that promotes the sterilization of individuals who believe they are the opposite sex. This organization prioritizes the sterilization of People of Color, presumably to reduce their numbers by indulging delusions and enabling self-harm.

We're just $40 away from raising $5000 for Trans Lifeline.

We'll be running the fundraiser until next Saturday, so if you'd like to support here's the link.

Since we already hit $3500, I have to do another 8 hours of Persona 5 down the line!https://t.co/PdHbn02hEP

Critics of gender-affirming surgeries argue that there is a lack of rigorous, long-term scientific evidence supporting their efficacy and safety. They point out that many existing studies suffer from limitations such as small sample sizes, short follow-up periods, and reliance on self-reported data. The observational nature of most studies fails to meet the standards of randomized controlled trials, which are considered the gold standard in medical research. Additionally, there are ethical concerns about performing irreversible surgeries on minors who may not fully understand the long-term consequences. Advocates for caution emphasize the need for comprehensive mental health support and thorough psychological evaluation before any medical intervention​.

These critics also highlight testimonies from detransitioners who regret undergoing gender-affirming treatments, citing them as evidence of potential psychological and physical harms. High rates of complications associated with these surgeries, such as surgical failures and chronic pain, raise significant safety concerns. Furthermore, medical professionals like Dr. Paul McHugh argue that such procedures do not necessarily resolve underlying psychological issues and call for a more evidence-based approach. Overall, there is a call for greater oversight and a reevaluation of the medical standards governing gender-affirming care to ensure patient safety and well-being over ideological commitments.

Sterilization Through Gender-Affirming "Care"

Gender-affirming surgery can lead to sterilization through a few different procedures, depending on the specific surgeries performed and the individual's biological sex at birth.

For Transgender Women (Male-to-Female)

• Orchiectomy: This surgery involves the removal of the testicles, which produce sperm. Without testicles, the body can no longer produce sperm, leading to irreversible sterilization.
• Vaginoplasty: This surgery often includes an orchiectomy as part of the process, along with the creation of a vaginal canal. The removal of testicles and the alteration of the penile tissue into a neovagina result in permanent sterilization​ (City Journal)​​ (Imprimis)​.

For Transgender Men (Female-to-Male)

• Hysterectomy: This surgery involves the removal of the uterus, preventing the possibility of carrying a pregnancy.
• Oophorectomy: This surgery involves the removal of the ovaries, which produce eggs. Without ovaries, the body can no longer produce eggs, leading to permanent sterilization.
• Phalloplasty or Metoidioplasty: These surgeries often include a hysterectomy and oophorectomy as part of the process. Phalloplasty involves the construction of a penis using tissue from other parts of the body, while metoidioplasty involves the enlargement of the clitoris to resemble a penis. Both procedures typically include the removal of the reproductive organs, resulting in irreversible sterilization​ (City Journal)​​ (City Journal)​.

Hormone Therapy and Fertility

Even before surgery, hormone therapy (testosterone for transgender men and estrogen for transgender women) can significantly impact fertility. Prolonged use of hormone therapy can lead to decreased sperm production in transgender women and cessation of ovulation in transgender men. While some of these effects can be reversible if ho
