Transgender medical treatment can be a dangerous path that shortens the lifespan of patients by 50%, a recently published endocrinology study found. Amsterdam University Medical Center surveyed 4,600 transgender men and women between 1972 and 2018.
Along with the high mortality rate comes cancer, stroke, tumors and a whole host of medical problems, said Dr. Quentin Van Meter , president of the American College of Pediatricians.
“It is a cult machine sucking these children in and putting them on a conveyor belt. Puberty blockers, cross hormones, and then surgery is the way to go. They are getting their breasts cut off right and left.”
Van Meter has studied transgender medicine for 42 years. He watched as it began in the Netherlands during the 1970s and became concerned when doctors first started blocking puberty. This led to cross-sex hormones given to children in 2000. Nine years later, a group of 10 European doctors formed a committee and comprised guidelines for transitioning children.
“They didn’t ask anyone with a contrary opinion. They just made up these guidelines with a grading system based on no science,” Van Meter said. He added that children who try to transition are “practicing a delusional concept. They can never ever become the opposite sex.”
Last year, Sweden outlawed the use of cross-sex hormones in children after utilizing them for 22 years. Its health agency stated that they are “potentially fraught with extensive and irreversible adverse consequences such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, infertility, increased cancer risk, and thrombosis.” Denmark and France have since followed suit.
“Now, the clinics in the U.S. are scrambling because there is no medical science” that says treatments are safe, Van Meter said. “They are now teaching this in medical school, including how to create body parts.”
Transgender health care is a big business, so it’s not clear if the runaway train can be slowed any time soon. Van Meter said he has seen a 500% increase in treatments on minors over the past decade.
Online sites such as Plume offer a one-stop shopping experience complete with virtual doctors who can sign off on prescriptions and refer patients for surgery for a monthly $99 subscription. Sites such as Reddit are filled with posts of teenagers asking for doctor referrals and giving surgery advice.
One 13-year-old girl who received a mastectomy recommended Gallagher, who was the only surgeon “who would operate on me at that age.”
One TikTok video says regret is “very rare” as the “medical community gets a better understanding of trans care.”
Yet young women who had mastectomies as teenagers told the Washington Examiner they are devastated over the surgeries and will have regret for the rest of their lives as they travel a painful road of de-transitioning.
“I have chronic pain all over my chest, and I’m stuck on painkillers,” said Candace Sharpe, 23. “The doctor sold it like it was worth the risk because you need it.”
This is perhaps the worst medical ethical obscenity since the Nazi doctors’ “experiments” in the camps during the Holocaust. Lives ruined beyond redemption before these kids even have a chance. No wonder their suicide rate is sky high.
Who would think that fu@#ing up a child hormones wouldn’t enchance longevity....
It’s medical malpractice and child abuse.
Raving lunatics are now practicing medicine. Parents who voluntarily bring their children to drag queen story hour have a place to go when they need a doctor. Is this so surprising in a culture that openly celebrate decadence. Drug use, pornography, widespread abortion, homosexuality and all its perverse permutations, neo pagan earth and celebrity worship are all so common that they are not noticed much less thought of as morally repugnant. Sorry but america has devolved over the past sixty years.
Experimenting on children is dangerous - why didn’t I think of that? 🤪
Some may be permanently psychologically damaged. Expect a rise is trans suicides (which the trans community will deflect as the result of 'transphobia'). Others are going to sue their psychologist, school, teacher, and even parents who encourage their 'transition'. Doctors are going to be hit hard with lawsuits from kids and parents for giving vulnerable kids puberty blocking drugs and hormones.
Yes, I would imagine that matter will eventually come before Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
How can anyone believe that drugs and genital mutilation are the road to true fulfillment and happiness?
It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature….
And all of them will be permanently physically damaged.
They will be sterile. They may never be able to have any sexual pleasure. They will have scars that will cause continual pain and they will have repeated infections.
Once you have taken the strong hormones they give you your body will never be the same.
Cancer is very probable along with a list of other problems because your body was not allowed to develop properly.
I think that they believe they are doing the children a favor by getting them to transition early so they end up having bodies closer to the ones they want.
So while their outsides might be more to their liking, their insides will be teeming with defects, disease, and dysfunction.
Human butchers for profit.
Well stated. It’s amazing and not in a good way, that we’re even having this stuff going on. Not many years ago any doctor who did these things would himself be locked up for life.
That still should happen, what the hell is wrong with us?
They are taking advantage of children who have mental health issues. The problem exploded when the left started teaching kids that they could change their gender whenever they wanted to. Now you have parents pushing this on their children.
Imagine that..
“They are taking advantage of children who have mental health issues.”
I forget the statistics, but for girls wanting to be boys it is something like 70%+ have mental issues such as “on the spectrum” for Autism, OCD, anxiety, etc.
It is also a predominantly middle-class and up, white girl problem.
Girls to boys is up something like 2500%! Boys to girls is up about double (100%).
Transgender medical treatment can be a dangerous path that shortens the lifespan of patients by 50%,Surely they have something that works a lot faster.
If you can’t trust TicToc for medical advice, who can you trust?
They are taking children away from their parents if the parents object to mutilating their little girls or their little boys.
