When parents learn that their child is autistic, a number of questions start running through their minds: What does this mean for my child’s future? Will it hurt their educational and career prospects? Will they be able to live a normal life? What can I do to help?
While it’s easy for parents of autistic children to imagine the hurdles they might encounter, Dr. Kathleen Levinstein is facing one challenge that would never even enter most people’s minds: Her daughter is being mutilated by her doctor because she wants to be a transgender boy, and there is nothing her mother can do to stop it.
When Dr. Levinstein’s daughter told her several years ago that she was a lesbian, the professor, who describes herself as left-of-center politically, did not have any problem with it. After seeing a transgender boy on the TV show Degrassi, however, her daughter decided that she wanted to become one too, and that’s where her mother drew the line.
After all, her daughter – whose given name is Ruth but who now goes by Ryan – is autistic, and has the mental capacity of a 9-year-old. Dr. Levinstein, who is a clinical social worker, and has professionally performed psychological evaluations for 40 years, is speaking out about the transgender movement’s willingness to recruit kids who are disabled, and the lack of a proper medical review prior to approving autistic kids for gender reassignment procedures.
“I am a lone voice in the academic and social work world speaking out against the [transgender] transitioning of autistic people, what I feel to be both a crime against the disabled as well as their sterilization.”
