Last year, I had a conversation that changed my life. It caused me to upend everything and move across the country. The lesson from it may change yours:

Regarding reports about "gender affirmation" surgeries and treatments on minors at Vanderbilt, it is not "bullying," "terrorism" or "hatred" to recognize the permanent physical effects on children and to reject the perverse financial incentives of hospitals involved.
