In April 2019 the Twin Cities’ flagship facility for pediatric care, Children’s Minnesota, launched a clinic for transgender and “gender diverse” young people. Ironically, within days of that opening, the Times of London reported that five clinicians at the Tavistock Centre’s Gender Identity Development Service — England’s only National Health Service pediatric gender-identity clinic — had resigned “as a matter of conscience.”
The clinicians expressed “alarm over the number of adolescents being prescribed body-altering drugs” at Tavistock. “This experimental treatment” is being performed on “very vulnerable children, who have experienced mental health difficulties, abuse, family trauma” that are often “whitewashed” but may contribute to gender confusion, one told the Times. “I felt for the last two years what kept me in the job was a sense there was a huge number of children in danger and I was there to protect them from the service, from the inside,” explained another.
Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, Children’s new gender clinic is portrayed as an unmitigated good. Yet what’s happening in England — where, as here, the number of young people presenting with gender confusion is skyrocketing — suggests that current treatment of pediatric gender-identity problems ignores underlying causes and entails risks that are not being discussed.
Several studies indicate that a strikingly high percentage of young people, especially girls, who identify as transgender have pre-existing autism, ADHD and/or psychological problems, all of which may underlie their gender confusion.
Yet, as the Tavistock clinicians noted, medical personnel are under intense pressure to ignore these “complex histories” in a “rush to accept and celebrate every young person’s new transgender identity,” in the Times’ words. A primary reason, according to the Times, is that transgender lobby groups are “allegedly promoting transition as a cure-all solution for confused adolescents.”

How many gay bars has that kid been to so far?
For Democrats its just another voting group. I can’t tell you how much the Democrat Party disgusts me.
Back in the day hormone treatment was prescribed along with electroshocks to honors to turn them into full blown women.
Nowdays we do consent fascism after massive self esteem and media cult campaign , isnt it cute, kind of like the Kool Aid thing
But do not you dare offend the followers telling them the Kool Aid has poison says the Jones guy
* electroshocks to homos
It’s a version of Munchausen’s By Proxy Syndrome.
Agreed
Truly sick people!
I’m glad someone else connected those dots. It’s amazing that the history of the child’s guardian doesn’t come into play, like that poor fellow in Canada who is being threatened with prison because his ex is pushing transgenderism on their kid.
Nobody is really thinking of the welfare of the child in question when they rush to affirmation.
It’s a parents job to raise children who can get along in the world. These pukes, are raising children into a living hell of depression, drug use, abuse, and mental illness. All because they are too scared, and yes, do not truly love their children enough to set them straight.
Weak, scared, and cowed adults are ruining the next generation.
bfl
The worst part is that the children will be irreparably damaged before psychologists treating them realize how wrong they were.
These parents are crying out to be part of a Charles Bronson movie.
The seventys saw a lot of teens getting into smoking a lot of things. But statistically no worse outcomes than those who did not partake.
Nope. You WILL.
The left marches on to the Brave New World and never looks back.
“For Democrats its just another voting group. I can’t tell you how much the Democrat Party disgusts me.”
It’s a bit more complex than that. The first reason they support these freaks is that it gives them a reason to call anyone who sees this for the mental illness it is a bigot.
On top of that, a majority of women voters support this garbage (kind of a bleed over effect from gay support). Dems know this and use it to their advantage.
Dems probably call these trannies all sorts of names when cameras aren’t rolling. However, they use these disturbed people for political gains and nothing more.
Cancer drugs are used to “pause” puberty. Girls who are given testosterone suffer painful side effects, and both sexes can have bone and heart problems. So-called sex-change is nothing but mutilation, and creates a germ-infested pocket that looks nothing like the real thing and needs constant dilation or it will close up again.
We’re letting our children poison and mutilate themselves because they are not comfortable with their natural bodies.
