Daily Wire – Last month, speaker, advocate, and wife of Lutheran minister Jamie Bruesehoff celebrated her 12-year-old child, whom she claims is transgender, receiving a puberty-blocking implant in the arm. “Today, this kid showed her strength once again. Today, she did something that was hard and scary. Today, she made herself proud,” said a social media post from Bruesehoff, the mother of Rebekah, a preteen who is biologically male but identifies as female. “Today, Rebekah had her second surgical procedure to place a hormone-blocking implant in her arm to prevent her from progressing farther into puberty,” Bruesehoff gushed.
“This is one example of what medically appropriate, medically necessary, life-affirming, and often literally life-saving treatment looks like for a transgender child.” Rebekah was just ten years old when his parents allowed an implant to be put inside the child to start blocking puberty; the latest implant was a “replacement,” according to the mother. ”That is the face of a girl terrified of hospitals and needles, but more terrified of having to live life as someone she is not.
That is the face of a girl feeling on top of the world, knowing her body won’t betray her and she’s one step closer to the woman she will grow up to be,” the mother captioned two photos of Rebekah — one at 10 years old, the other at 12. “Today, I’m thankful for top-notch medical facilities and physicians,” she continued. “I’m thankful for the ongoing and growing research and guidelines. I’m thankful for health insurance that covered my kid’s medically necessary treatment. And I’m extra thankful and proud to say that the insurance covering this procedure for my transgender daughter is provided to my husband through his employer … the church.” READ MORE
