President Biden’s HHS has gone all-in on radical transgender ideology, encouraging early body-changing medical interventions as “gender-affirming” care. From the HHS Office of Population Affairs publication:
Gender-affirming care is a supportive form of healthcare. It consists of an array of services that may include medical, surgical, mental health, and non-medical services for transgender and nonbinary people.
For transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents, early gender-affirming care is crucial to overall health and well-being as it allows the child or adolescent to focus on social transitions and can increase their confidence while navigating the healthcare system.
And it can ruin their lives, too.
What kind of interventions constitute “early gender-affirming care”?
Social Affirmation: Adopting gender-affirming hairstyles, clothing, name, gender pronouns, and restrooms and other facilities When: At any age or stage. Reversible
Puberty Blockers: Using certain types of hormones to pause pubertal development. When: During puberty. Reversible.
Hormone Therapy: Testosterone hormones for those who were assigned female at birth Estrogen hormones for those who were assigned male at birth. When: Early adolescence onward. Partially reversible
Gender-Affirming Surgeries: “Top” surgery – to create male-typicalchest shape or enhance breasts “Bottom” surgery – surgery on genitalsor reproductive organs Facial feminization or other procedures. When: Typically used in adulthood or case-by-case in adolescence. Not reversible.
This is awful. Children and adolescents with gender dysphoria certainly need proper care and support. But puberty blocking is not benign and can lead to adverse medical issues such as reduced bone density — which is why it is no longer recommended in the U.K. and Finland, for example.
Mutilating surgeries on genitals and breasts of minors should be off the table altogether. They are irreversible, result in sterilization when of the genitals, and remove healthy organs.
At the very least the government should acknowledge that these drastic interventions are controversial, remain experimental — puberty blockers are “off label” uses of medicines approved to treat pathologies in adolescence — and indeed, sometimes leave patients permanently harmed. This is particularly true in cases where they “detransition” — that is, regain acceptance that they are, indeed, the sex they were born.
Expect the usual suspects to accuse those opposing this drastic recommendation as being motivated by hate as a means of stifling reasoned discourse. Indeed, President Unity has already called state laws to protect transgender minors from such interventions “hateful.”
The reality is exactly the opposite. Love requires that we defend the procreational futures of children and their bodily integrity, particularly in a time of raging moral panic when emotions rule the day. Adults can do what they please. But minors need protection, sometimes, even from themselves.
Maybe this is the logical end to having unlimited freedom. Governmental anarchy.
Simply barbaric! Can’t believe this is coming from our government without shame but with smugness.
Hey, if you get to them young enough, they could have promising careers as singers ...

Helping a minor become a transgender should be a capital offense
Fire these people, they are evil on earth.
This is unbelievable...government sponsored perversion...
“Mommy, I want to be a boy again.”
I can’t believe this is happening in America. Government approved grooming, brainwashing, and grotesque mutilation.
Give them a taste of their own ‘medicine’............
An intersex model has come out against the surgeries as a child. Many are done because of cancer risk with internal testes
For those thinking intersex rarely happens..just saw an article that it happens as much as people born with red hair
Our government has crossed the thresh hold from incompetent and self interested to malign & evil.
One way to reduce the generation-freak
“Mommy, I want to be a boy again.”

Sorry kid, you wanted to have the male bits cut off. Your an “it” for the rest of your sorry life.
Anymor it’s looking like God is turning His back on this nation - and I can’t say I don’t blame Him.
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, but my ma won’t admit it....
Never has a country so willingly sabotaged itself from the inside. The trans agenda is designed to destroy us. How? By destroying the family. If you can go from male to female by an act of the will, then there is no male/female distinction, no reason for the normal family, and no reason for religions.
They have been largely successful so far.
In Iran, they perform the most transsexual surgeries of any nation in the world. Islam does not allow for homosexuals, so if you are one, they change your sex, mandated by the government. So if you’re a man attracted to men, they make you into a transsexual so theoretically you’re no longer a homosexual. And they work hard at identifying this behavior when the kids are young and start this process.
Now today we have leading Democrats essentially doing the same thing that Iran is doing. So I am guessing if a boy shows any effeminate qualities, they will quickly identify him as trans and begin hormones that will lead to his removal of his penis and transsexual surgery. We are doomed.
The dimocRAT supermajority passed that out here in the Soviet of Washington last year in the dark of night. Many, even staunch dims, have no idea this shit is possible.
Adding insult to injury, the legislature added a mandate on all private health insurers to pay for these atrocious crimes against humanity, and the insurers MUST NOT communicate with anyone other than the victim child. Otherwise, the insurers must pay and they are forbidden to send any invoices or communication of any type to the payers of the policy, (parents), instead the insurers can only communicate with the minor child.
The dimocRAT party has always been POS, but now…There should be a bounty on each and everyone of those sick pedo-groomers.
I once again do not agree with the government. Developing minds really can’t make an informed or prospective choice, and parents really should make the decision for them. This should be left alone until they are legal age.
