Sanjay Bangar’s son’s gender case: US woke mind virus claims first major victim in India

In the older days, parents used to lose their sons in war and they were proud to call themselves martyr’s parents. There is a new way to lose sons now and metaphorically speaking former Indian batsman Sanjay Bangar just faced the brunt of it. His son Aryan just changed his gender and now wishes to be called “Anaya Bangar”.

Recently Anaya shared a video on “her” Instagram profile documenting “her” journey after gender reassignment surgery. “She” said that in the 11 months after the Hormone replacement, “her” dysphoria has gone down, and “her” happiness has increased.

Describing the changes in “her” body, “she” acknowledged the loss of muscle mass and consequential strength.

Before the transition, Anaya – who lives in Manchester was an active male cricketer. “She” is now considering giving up on sports because according to International Cricket Council rules, “she” falls under the category of Trans athletes.

ICC banned them in November 2023 while the English Cricket Board announced its decision to do so in October 2024.

Many of you may be wondering why “she” decided to change “her” gender. Here is a brief explanation of the Science behind it –

Men and women are the two most prevalent sexes in the world and each sex has its definitive characteristics. Now, in our lives, we must have met some men who are more feminine in nature while there are women who are more masculine in nature. Conventional observation is that both return to their natural roles in their late 20s and early 30s.

We all have seen that. Remember Kajol’s character Anjali Sharma in Kuch Kuch Hota hai?

Contrary to natural resettling, what modern radical gender ideology does is take these kids to a social media echo chamber and tell them that they are born in the “wrong body”. So, if they change their inner organs through surgical procedures, their mental health problems will go away.

The problem is that there is no credible evidence linking improved mental health with gender change operations. But the quest for cheap dopamine and the thrill of something new is driving kids towards it.

According to data released by the nonprofit Do No Harm, more than 13,000 minor children went through gender reassignment surgery between 2019-2023 in the USA. And these are just the tip of the iceberg. The woke mind virus is a scourge in the USA, with victims going even to the extent of self-identifying as “cats”, “babies”,  “handicapped people”, “transabled” and whatnot.

Learning from the American experience, Europe has adopted a cautious approach towards giving it to minors.

This phenomenon is prevalent in adults and has grabbed more headlines due to its immediate impact. There are professional male players like Lia Thomas, Fallon Fox, and Imane Khelif who have taken recourse to gender reassignment surgery in order to enhance their careers in sports.

From being ranked as the 462 rank male athlete in the world as William Thomas, Lia Thomas quickly became the number 1 ranked swimmer in the female category. The record she broke in the women’s category is almost unparalleled.

While Thomas broke records, fighters like Fallon Fox and Imane Khelif also broke the skulls and other organs of their female competitors.

The respective bodies of these sports were sitting down and clapping while a biological male was thrashing a biological woman.

The pseudo-scientific rationale behind the legality of such mayhem was that with surgery, a person’s internal strength also shifts in accordance with the new gender. In January this year, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued new guidelines removing the testosterone-level-based eligibility criteria.

This testosterone-based criterion was essential since male-to-female gender reassignment required 10 nanomoles per litre of testosterone level to be maintained for at least 12 months prior to competition.

While being scientifically irrational, it was the absolutely rational decision in the woke world. The idea behind it was making sports an inclusive domain – rather than the last standing bastion of spirited but safe competition.

The problem is so big that his son opting for a gender change operation forced the world’s richest man to go deep into the rabbit hole and decide to do something about it. A major plank of Donald Trump’s recent campaign was putting an end to this woke mind virus.

Meanwhile in India, the situation is under control on the surface, but a lava is erupting underneath. In the 2014 National Legal Services Authority case, every individual was given the right to determine one’s gender.

In practical terms, it means that the sex assigned at birth can be voluntarily changed by an individual.

Sympathetically speaking, it makes sense for a person who has not been able to develop characteristics in accordance with his/her birth gender. For people above 30, it makes pragmatic sense to change gender if they failed to act in accordance with the assigned one.

But, such instances are extremely rare and people have gone through such operations.

The problem is that India’s entertainment industry is trying to make it mainstream. Through social media, kids are being indoctrinated about it. Ironically, the maturity age in India is only 18 – seven years before the human brain fully develops.

Any life-changing surgery on reproductive organs before it should not be the norm.

In the end, stealing outgoing US President Joe Biden’s views on abortion, we would want to say that, “Gender reassignment surgery should be safe, legal, and rare”.
