Does America Want to be the Transgender Leader?
American Thinker ^ | 2 Jun, 2021 | Kathleen Brush

We are told every day that in America we follow the science. If that is so, how can it be that government officials are encouraging pre-pubescent children, with or without parental consent, to make life-altering decisions that lack a firm scientific foundation? It all starts in schools where children declare their pronouns. Some declare minority sex pronouns due to peer pressure or because it’s cool or rebellious. Kids do that. Now the habitual reaffirmation process begins, and it can involve mandatory parental counseling to ensure compliance with the process. With a superficial transgender diagnosis, public schools on the West Coast can already prescribe puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones without parental consent. Blockers must be prescribed at puberty (8-14) to be most effective. In Oregon, schools can authorize a sex change without parental consent.

The FDA has not licensed puberty blockers for trans youths, and no clinical trial has been conducted for this purpose. Literature aplenty states that puberty blockers are mostly safe, with the not incidental caveat of unknown long-term effects. Available science shows that puberty blockers cause lower bone density and may affect brain development. Cross-sex hormone therapies can cause irreversible changes, including infertility and may contribute to forms of cancer. Like puberty blockers, they are not FDA approved for transgender youth.

Blockers and hormone therapies are leveraged because gender dysphoria can cause depression, but taking these drugs, or even engaging in social transitioning, for example cross-dressing and name and gender changes, also leads to an increased use of drugs and depression as trans youth wrestle with an imposter syndrome. After gender reassignment surgery, the depression obviously doesn’t go away. In this population, one study showed that suicide attempts were 4.8X higher than a control group, suicides 19X higher, and psychiatric hospitalizations 2.8X higher. T

We should be a transgender leader.

We need to restart involuntary institutionalization for the clinically insane and prevent them from harming themselves before they take action.

And also known pedophiles should be taken there never to see the light of day again.

One such location would be the future democrat white house at this rate.

Promoting a known severe psychological disorder as normal just confirms the insanity of those pushing it.

The Progressives never want this country to lead the world in ANY of their prog causes.
That way they will always have someone else to point to and say, “Look at (x). We must be more like that.”

With these progs, the issue is never the issue. The Revolution is.

GOV. PRITZKER is poised to pen his name to the Illinois Comprehensive Public Education
Sex Education Bill at any time now. “This crap” will become reality to students K-12.

Too many have their head in the sand to avoid this nation’s culture war. WAKE UP.
