Children being treated for transgender issues at Sweden’s Karolinska University Hospital have allegedly suffered severe injuries as a result of hormone puberty blockers.
Doctors at Karolinska University Hospital have been aware of injuries suffered by children as a result of hormone treatments, however, the injuries were not been made public until this week.
Of the 440 children treated at the hospital for gender dysphoria issues and were given hormone blockers, 13 have suffered serious injuries.
A girl who wished to become a boy at the age of 10 was put on a regimen of puberty-blocking drugs at the age of 11. Five years after the treatment, the effects of the hormone therapy resulted in osteoporosis and damaged the vertebrae in teen’s back.
The teen’s mother, Natalie said: “He felt so bad that he tried suicide attempts. We thought our child would feel better from the treatment. When we asked him regularly how his back felt, he said: ‘I’m in pain all the time’.”
Karolinska pediatric doctor Ricard Nergårdh commented on hormone blockers, “It’s chemical castration. It can affect mental health in a way that you didn’t didn’t want. It is important that the patient and the patient’s family are well informed about it.”
Hormone blockers have affected other children. One child suffered liver damage< Another had reduced bone density after two years of treatment.
Others were diagnosed with mental health issues, including thoughts of self-harm and suicide. Some regretted being put on the drugs after developing irreversible side effects such as vocal changes.
In May, Karolinska hospital announced it would be ending hormone treatment for children after witnessing the various side effects of the treatment.
The hospital is known as being the first in Sweden to offer gender identity assessments for children.

This is child abuse, pure and simple.
In 1967, The Who released a song called "I'm a Boy" which spoke to the frustrations of a boy whose mother wanted to turn him into a girl. This crap is nothing new.
Y-you mean playing G-d with the lives of innocent disturbed children ends badly? Say it ain’t so!/s
“Wasn’t the first prominent trans person in the U.S. the tennis player Renee Richards?”
Interesting quote from this person:
“Having lived for the past 30 years, I know if I’d had surgery at the age of 22, and then at 24 went on the tour, no genetic woman in the world would have been able to come close to me. And so I’ve reconsidered my opinion.”
