Making puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones easier for minor s toaccess has increased youth suicide rates, a new report from the Heritage Foundation asserts.
The report directly challenges claims from pro-transgender clinical organizations, activists, and the Biden administration that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones reduce suicides of minors who believe they are the opposite sex.
The 25-page report, written by Senior Research Fellow Dr. Jay Greene, analyzes existing studies about the effectiveness of these treatments in preventing youth suicides. Greene found, similar to a recent report published by Florida Medicaid, that current research “fail[s] to show a causal relationship and [has] been poorly executed.”
The author took his analysis a step further, conducting research with what he called a “superior research design.” He ultimately found “that easing access to puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones by minors without parental consent increases suicide rates.”
Key Findings The “Superior Research Design” Greene looked at states that have provisions that allow minors to access routine medical care without parental consent — policies that “were developed for reasons that have nothing to do with gender identity.”
Greene’s analysis “exploits this natural policy experiment” to compare suicide rates of people ages 12 to 23 in states that require parental consent for medical care and state that do not.
He specifically looked at suicides that occurred between 1999 and 2020 within this age group because those people could have entered puberty between 2010 and 2020, when puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones became available as a “gender-related treatment” in the United States, according to the report. Greene posed:

These kids are less than lab rats at the hands of evil scientists.
Aren’t most transgenders suicidal anyway ?
It won’t matter.
If you have kids, get out your rubber hoses and baseball bats.
It’s all that they’ll understand because they are devoted to the religion of ‘trans’, corollary to the religion of ‘climate change’, ‘justice reform’ et al.
More than ever, progressives must be punished. Most severely, before it’s too late (i.e., when people realize that the progs are now their children...a reality frighteningly few are aware).
Will condervative news stations run this fact daily? Likely not- they are cowards that dont want to anger the left
The effects of these chemical experiments are mostly irreversible, and when the teenage “tranny” comes to his/her senses a few years later, as they often do, they find with horror what they have done to themselves and that they can’t go back. Their real selves are lost forever and they are living in a mutilated body they come to detest. Yeah that might make one suicidal.
The spike in youth suicide is a feature not a bug. The ruling class is out for blood.
The ruling class is patently EVIL!
Puberty blockers spike youth suicide.
The sick parents that allow such actions call it late term abortion without guilt.
I don’t think it will stop until some doctors go to jail, or the gas chamber, for what they have done. Until they have a personal responsibility to think about, they will just do the will of the hospital administrators, the academics, and their professional orgs.
Another report just a short while back related how the puberty blockers ruin the chances of success of the practical sex life after “transgender surgery” later. Aspects of the “sex response” in the “body tissues” remain undeveloped due to normal hormones in puberty not obtaining their normal affect on physical development in the whole genital region. In other words, the “tissues” “reassigned” in “transgender surgery” (which I call mutilation) remain immature due to the hormone blockers given during puberty. The “sexual response” ability can be less than a eunuchs. That study investigated “transgender” individuals who had had the puberty blockers in their youth with those who never had them and compared their own attitudes about their “sex life”. Those who had had the puberty blockers were mostly unsatified compared to those who never had the puberty blockers.
What it tells you is again the “transgender” advocacy folks are not even honest about what they call their “science” positions. The whole “transgender” promotion thing is bad enough, but apparently many of those advocating for it are making the outcomes worse for those who they pretend to be advocating for.
Anyone who advocates for this deserves to have his or her body mutilated. Castration for those advocating, legislating, and adjudicating in favor of this child abuse.
Here is the report.
Puberty Blockers, Cross-Sex Hormones, and Youth Suicide

“Studies finding that “gender-affirming”
interventions prevent suicide fail to show
a causal relationship and have been
poorly executed.”
Very nice exposition.
Explains the high suicide rate of fully transitioned transgenders.
The transgender plastic surgeon who performed a lopitoffame on Jazz Jennings said male to female’s will never have orgasms.
Someone needs to send that study to Biden, or whoever told Biden to say he supports puberty blockers.
