Gender dysphoria is a real condition for which Jenner believes “transitions” are an appropriate treatment. I strongly disagree, but taken only as a treatment option for a tiny sliver of the adult population, it’s less bothersome than the cultural left’s insistence that children take puberty blockers and mutilate their bodies, and that society change entirely to accommodate an extremely radical, false conception of something as basic as biology.

To the extent Jenner supports that effort—which harms children, endangers women, and gaslights the public—the decision is easy for conservatives. Don’t touch this candidacy. The issue is too important and too immediate to compromise an inch.
