“Paediatric gender dysphoria has rapidly emerged as one of the most divisive and urgent issues in medicine today.”
Why is it ‘divisive’? I remember the debate about (usually Muslim/Arab) Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), which is far less extreme. I couldn’t understand why the Democrats supported it so strongly and opposed all efforts to outlaw it. Now I know - they were getting ready to cut the dicks off of little boys...but I know, so-and-so is a RINO, and that’s all that matters - right?
(p.s., if they cannot spell pediatric, then they shouldn’t be commenting on the subject.)

‘Gender Affirming Care’ should mean whatever treatment program will cure a child (or anyone else) of the delusion that they are anything other than their actual biological sex.
Any idea when parents and teachers will realize kids should
identify with Felix the Cat? Or ‘D’ all of the above?
When these 46,000++ children grow to be adults with life ruining injuries, I pray they take every action possible to financially ruin the lives of those adults who destroyed them.
Can a six year old make a decision to change their gender or even be diagnosed with “gender dysphoria” unless they are being coerced by parents or “therapists”? In our society anyone under 18 is not considered mature enough to make life decisions, why should it be any different for life altering gender decisions ?
Such care increased only ‘cause presentations were made at conferences like the AMA pointing out the fact that $billions were in the industry of mutilating kiddies. All Taxpayer$$.
This is why the sickoes calling themselves shrinks went after this. They graduated from Uni with a degree that got them no where and were then told there was unlimited $$ if they took $$ and did harm.
That $$ and the opportunity to legally talk(touch) to kiddies about their genitalia was too much to resist.
Yes, including the oath doctors take "primum non nocere," to "first do no harm" as these artificial hormones and surgeries create great harm physically and psychologically to young developing bodies and minds.
I suspect an entire industry will arise to try to reverse these procedures and effects of unnatural hormones as more and more of these confused children realize the huge mistake they've made.
The doctors performing these procedures and offering up powerful puberty blockers need to be held criminally accountable for the great harm they are inflicting.
It ought be under fire, but it is under hot air.
Note efforts to help children to live according to their self-evident anatomy is called “conversion therapy” and is considered bad. Indoctrination often followed by brutal chemical treatment, and surgical actions to alter the natural self is called “gender affirming care” and is good. Currently any perception of doubt, most often arising from social contagion, is exploited by teachers and counselors to direct children and young adults into an ever-shifting idea of personal awareness where internal, subjective ideas eradicate the biological realities of sex.
The evidence to support medicalised gender transitions in adolescents is worryingly weak

Almost all America’s medical authorities support gender-affirming care. But those in Britain, Finland, France, Norway and Sweden, while supporting talking therapy as a first step, have misgivings about the pharmacological and surgical elements of the treatment. The effectiveness and side-effects of the most common treatments are not well understood.
the number of teenagers seeking treatment at the Gender Identity Development Service (gids), the main clinic (Britain) treating dysphoria, has risen 17-fold since 2011-12
Yet more evidence that propaganda does work on the weak minded.
You beat me to it.
It is not affirming and it’s not care.
Let’s all speak the truth to each other. It’s gender denying care.
Why does not gender affirming care apply to the current actual gender of a child? Should they not be supportive of maleness when affirming a male child’s gender? And samely for girls? We all know why but communists don’t know why they are so insistent about it: the elites want to turn boys into girls for perverse sexual reasons while the majority of communists support the elites for altruistic reasons that they have been misled into believing.
Build more loony bins to house the wackos. Then we won’t have to bother reading or listening to them rant about “gender-affirming care”.
Man the leftists are good at word games.
“Gender affirming care” should never be uttered.
“Sex Change” to be polite. “Genital Mutilation” or “breast removal”
is best.
