American kids are in the grip of a gender contagion
New York Post ^ | December 20, 2022 | Mary Harrington

American kids are in the grip of a gender contagion. New research from the Ethics and Public Policy Center reveals that the number of prescriptions for puberty blockers to under-18s doubled between 2017 and 2021.

The data, based on information gathered from insurers, provide the clearest picture to date of the booming industry of gender butchery being practiced on American minors. In this medical Wild West, a well-oiled campaigning machine with tentacles into nonprofits, schools and even the White House recruits healthy kids and spits out sterilized simulacra of the opposite sex, often with lifelong health issues.

Concerned parents, meanwhile, are bullied into compliance with threats of suicide — and the “treatments” themselves don’t even make their victims happier. A recent study by the UK campaign group Sex Matters found puberty blockers and hormone treatments do no more to improve teens’ mental health than a placebo.

And yet, as the EPPC numbers show, demand continues to soar. Why? The driver seems to be a toxic blend of teen angst, educator activism and Internet addiction.

Puberty is often tough, and most teens are now exposed to hardcore porn at a young age via smartphones. Many add this corrupted picture of sexual relations to mental health and body issues — then seize on “LGBTQ+” activism in schools and the wider culture as a refuge.

Digging deep for a rainbow “identity” of their own, many more stumble upon forums and YouTube influencers that inspire with “before” and “after” images and tales of how transition will take all the angst and pain away.

It’s no coincidence that in the decade since smartphones became widespread, the number of kids identifying as trans has rocketed. And over the same period the gender breakdown has reversed, from mostly boys to overwhelmingly girls

American kids are in the grip of traitorous teachers and school administrators and leftist politicians promoting perversions and giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Perversion and profit are too tempting. What an embarrassing age we live in.

Unfortunately society doesn’t have what it takes anymore to put monsters like the LGBTQ cult back in the closet. We are shepherds who sit back and watch wolves eat our flock.

Maybe there was really a Pied Piper leading the children off to destruction.

Don’t forget that Planned Parenthood is one of the main driving forces for this in the US - with abortion profits slowing, they’ve moved to providing “gender services”.

The original goal of Head Start has been achieved. Have all the toddlers all question whether they are a boy or a girl or a puppy.

We’ve pushed God out of our culture, so wickedness grows. It will ONLY get worse.

But, it does NOT HAVE TO BE. If American repents sincerely, and turns back to God thru His Son, Jesus Yeshua the Christ, we will begin to heal. It’s up to YOU.

What will you decide?

This is evidence of a phenomenon as old as time: Kids want attention from adults.

This is just the latest ‘fad’ to sweep the High School community. In a strange way, this mimics the actions of the teenage girls who sparked the Salem Witch Trials. Groups of girls trying to distinguish themselves from their peers by acting weird.

Sadly, it is aided and abetted by a coterie of woke adult groomers hell bent on transforming normal children into disfigured replicas of the adults’ fantasies.

This too shall pass, but unfortunately not before a few thousand lives are destroyed permanently.

We don’t see it ourselves, because its slow-moving, but we are in the middle of a strong and vicious “cultural revolution.”

Other totalitarian ones were short and fast-moving. Yet they were able to convince children to denounce their parents, or destroy cultural icons, or melt their metal household goods for “backyard steel production,” etc.....

On the other hand, we are able to convince children they are homosexual, or something other than the obvious gender they were born with. Quite powerful!

There’s no such thing as puberty blockers. They are hormone blockers. Many of us have been on these horrific drugs for better reasons in cancer and infertility treatments. They leave you with horrific moods to the point of uncontrollable rage or depression, violent or suicide ideation. WHO WOULD GIVE THESE TO KIDS???? And to troubled kids at puberty?? It’s child abuse.

They are creating an underclass of mentally ill eunuchs.

When you realize that the main goal of pretty much the entire world elite is population control, it all makes perfect sense.

If society accepts the use of porn, then this is the natural progression. When people fantasize instead of actually living, they destroy everything around them because in their deluded state they think the unreal is real.

Porn has trained millions into believing fantasy/deviant behavior is real and perfectly fine. Look at the recent story of a man who retires from the military wearing a dog fetish mask with his uniform.
