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.

As far as girls are concerned, the trend reflects a complete and abject failure of the women’s lib movement.
That has caused so much angst, that girls now want to cut off their breasts and become boys.
Yuck!
When will we be rid of this disgusting man?
He’s a criminal! What he does with these kids is criminal!
I haven’t read whole article yet, but I’ve read many Detransitioners (people/kids who’ve decided not to be transgender anymore) who’ve said social media and YouTube were main influences which convinced them they were transgender. I was going to say T was main influence, but I’ve forgotten what T is in a few moments. I’d say that is beginning Alzheimer’s, but I’ve always done that.
Follow the money...
They are trying to convert children into their perverted lifestyle.....If I was to push the catholic faith on children every day into every lesson I could, what would the dems, progressives and LGBTQ community say?????STOP TRYING TO CONVERT THEM.......My thoughts exactly......
