European countries are deciding that there isn't enough medical research saying "gender affirming" medical care has no evidence proving it is safe, so they've begun blocking it for minors. These same countries think the USA is mistreating gender dysphoric patients.

Aargh (Peanuts cry)! I goofed writing last post. European countries are deciding that ‘gender affirming’ medical care isn’t evidence based.

the number of children and adolescents with gender dysphoria is exploding. No one really knows why.

Mr. Cook obviously doesn't have kids.

This transgender stuff is trendy and all the left's "affirmation" crap is not helping.

Kids are stupid, basically, and want to be accepted by their peers. Nose rings, tats, hairstyles, queerness, "I'm really a girl/boy"... there's no end to the stupid things kids do to be accepted.

No one really knows why? Gimmee a break!

“Nobody knows why”?

I know why. Its become a fad. Cultural Marxist teachers and parents are pushing it because its the latest fad in their cult. That’s why.

Because it's cool to have a 'Trans child' in leftist elites' social circles. It's the new Teacup Chihuahua. And you don't have to walk it every evening................

This gender switching is nothing more than a FAD...

It’s the “in” thing for a boy to say he’s now a girl

It’s the “in” thing for a girl to say she’s now a boy..

At some point in the future, they’ll want to return to “normal”, only by then it’s too late. They will be shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, to find out the Addadicktome the girl underwent cannot be reversed. They’ll be shocked to learn their breasts, which were cut off, cannot be grown back.

At that point, the lawsuits will start flying and all the gender “professionals” will be nowhere to be found.

It’s the cool thing to do and the medical “professionals”, much like politicians who see the parade and where it’s going, then decide to get out and lead it, are in it only for the money and the he*l with the mental makeup of those they’re treating.

Oh yes, at some point in the future, the fur is really gonna fly..

I have friends who have a daughter (30 years old, so not a kid anymore). The daughter has been normal, then a lesbian, then bisexual. Currently she is non-binary and has changed her name. It’s all a desperate cry for attention. Keeping up with fads. Nothing more.

You've nailed it.

It's all being promoted by evil leftist forces that are hellbent on destroying Western culture. Their main objective is to topple the United States.

But the United States is going full steam ahead. Medicalizing thoughts in th e head and putting children on a lifelong path of medical “care” is profitable and the new American Way.

It is not “poorly understood.” it is clear. A classic social contagion among vulnerable immature youth, made exponentially more powerful due to social media and reinforcement by influential authority figures like teachers, doctors, misguided parents, and politicians whoring after the wokey vote. A sad excuse for chemically and surgically mutilating defenseless children.

This is far from unusual. Across the United States and Europe, the number of children and adolescents with gender dysphoria is exploding. No one really knows why.

There have always been parents - usually mothers - with Munchausen Syndrom-by-proxy mental health issues. What's new is that society is now enabling and encouraging them. That's why - societal encouragement, particularly through social media. This is not a children's issue so much as a mentally-unfit parents issue.

At 10-15 years after transgender surgery, the suicide rate is 20 times that of comparable peers. LINK

“ the number of children and adolescents with gender dysphoria is exploding. No one really knows why. “

It couldn’t be because leftist homosexual teachers are encouraging them.

Body integrity identity disorder (BIID) may well become the next “fad”.

Your comment is spot on. The 'experts' don't know why, but the parents and folks with an IQ above room temperature can make an educated guess.

The tide will really turn when these children who’ve been “helped” begin to suffer serious mental and physical problems. The folks on the Left like to scare parents with the “If your child doesn’t get this surgery they’ll commit suicide” talk, but the truth is suicide rates will skyrocket when the kids realize that not only CAN’T they change genders, but now they’ve also destroyed their body. Every Leftist/progressive/Marxist/socialist/Democrat supporting this should be held accountable.

"Urging caution" is not good enough, and just shows how inured society has become to this insanity as it ratchets to the left.

I used to read Mercatornet extensively, but their left-leaning Catholic penchant and readership finally turned me off.

On the whole, the comments on this page are spot on.
