There is not a single long-term study to demonstrate the safety or efficacy of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for transgender-believing youth. This means that youth transition is experimental, and therefore, parents cannot provide informed consent, nor can minors provide assent for these interventions. Moreover, the best long-term evidence we have among adults shows that medical intervention fails to reduce suicide. Puberty blockers may cause mental illness
Puberty blockers may actually cause depression and other emotional disturbances related to suicide. In fact, the package insert for Lupron, the number one prescribed puberty blocker in America, lists “emotional instability” as a side effect and warns prescribers to “Monitor for development or worsening of psychiatric symptoms during treatment.” Similarly, discussing an experimental trial of puberty blockers in the U.K., Oxford University Professor Michael Biggs wrote, “There was no statistically significant difference in psychosocial functioning between the group given blockers and the group given only psychological support. In addition, there is unpublished evidence that after a year on [puberty blockers] children reported greater self-harm, and the girls also experienced more behavioral and emotional problems and expressed greater dissatisfaction with their body—so puberty blockers exacerbated gender dysphoria.” Puberty blockers may cause permanent physical harm
Temporary use of Lupron has also been associated with and may be the cause of many serious permanent side effects including osteoporosis, mood disorders, seizures, cognitive impairment and, when combined with cross-sex hormones, sterility. Cross-sex hormones (testosterone for women; estrogen for men) may disrupt mental health
Women who identify as men are given enough testosterone to raise their levels 10-40 times above the female reference range. Past studies have documented multiple psychiatric problems with similar high doses of anabolic steroids like testosterone such that 23% of subjects met DSM criteria for a major mood syndrome such as mania, hypomania, and major depression, and 3.4-12% developed psychotic symptoms. Estrogen also impacts mood in complex ways. Post menopausal women treated with estrogen often experience severe anxiety despite being placed on physiologic doses of the hormone. Men who identify as women are given supraphysiologic doses of estrogen; theoretically, this has the potential to worsen both depression and anxiety. Other health risks are correlated with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones
Temporary use of puberty blocker Lupron has also been associated with and may be the cause of many serious permanent side effects including osteoporosis, mood disorders, seizures, cognitive impairment and, when combined with cross-sex hormones, sterility. In addition to the harm from Lupron, cross-sex hormones put youth at an increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, blood clots and cancers across their lifespan. Add to this the fact that physically healthy transgender-believing girls are being given double mastectomies at 13 and hysterectomies at 16, while their male counterparts are referred for surgical castration and penectomies at 16 and 17, respectively, and it becomes clear that affirming transition in children is about mutilating and sterilizing emotionally troubled youth. Transgender interventions for children are experimental and dangerous
Many medical organizations around the world, including the Australian College of Physicians, the Royal College of General Practitioners in the United Kingdom, and the Swedish National Council for Medical Ethics have characterized these interventions in children as experimental and dangerous. World renowned Swedish psychiatrist Dr. Christopher Gillberg has said that pediatric transition is “possibly one of the greatest scandals in medical history” and called for “an immediate moratorium on the use of puberty blocker drugs because of their unknown long-term effects.”
BTT
Assuming that this is a respected journal this is *huge*!
the 20% suicide rate, and 60% psychopathy rate,
is beloved by these criminal “physicians”.
even MORE reason to do it without telling their parents. /s
"There are no known irreversible effects of puberty blockers. If you decide to stop taking them, your body will go through puberty just the way it would have if you had not taken puberty blockers at all." http://www.phsa.ca/transcarebc/child-youth/affirmation-transition/medical-affirmation-transition/puberty-blockers-for-youthSeriously, "known" irreversible effects is deceptively assuring. And it presumes all the below can be reversed:
If you were assigned male at birth, puberty blockers will stop or limit:
If you were assigned female at birth, puberty blockers will stop or limit:
In both cases, puberty blockers will temporarily stop or limit:
It is
Parents going along with this crap should be locked away in asylums.
And there’s still the question of informed consent...
Meanwhile, medical schools across this nation are teaching this witchcraft, to newly enrolled pronouns.
Between sterilization/mutilation of children and 'anything goes' abortion, Ill-Annoy has become a destination vacation center for many kinds of perversion.
Yet we keep electing these knuckleheads.
Homos like kinky sex.
According to their website ACP was formed in 2002.
No indication on their website as to how many members are part of ACP.
It is good that ACP published this article so parents can contact them to see if a pediatrician in their area is a member of ACP.
Heavy Duty Reality bump!
But like Mengele before war's end, our modern Mengeles have powerful government backing.
“Transgender Interventions Harm Children No Evidence that Transgender Interventions are Safe for Children”
Duuuuh!
They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!
a-major-study-of-child-abuse-and-homosexuality-revisited
On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.
The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.
Transgender another tool the left progressives democrats.
1.Use transgender to call it inclusion
2.Demoralize the young and approve of it
3.Reprogram them in schools
4.Keep telling them their parents are wrong and ignorant
5.Abolish every thing normal
Stalin’s idea of controlling the youth to own them for life isn’t new just remodeled for communism and socialism.
