Very interesting article. Explains how 'gender affirming care' USA physicians are ignoring current evidence based medicine in performing that care on children.

The US is where the money is. At least, for now.

A growing number of countries, including some of the most progressive in Europe, are rejecting the U.S. “gender-affirming” model of care for transgender-identified youth.

Aha! Fascism is rising again in Europe!

“The American health care system is more vulnerable to profit motives, activist doctors and political pressures. Medical associations claim to advocate for patient health but can have other motives as well.”

***********

If the American health care system is not totally corrupt, it’s close. Sick care, not health care and $$, not lives, is what matters.

The medical establishment - Doctors, government/regulatory bodies (CDC, FDA, etc), Big Pharma, Hospital groups - have largely abandoned patient treatment and do no harm as Job One in favor of cashing in on the almighty dollar. If people haven’t figured this out after watching Covid play out, well, just damn.

The “trangenderism” insanity spins off huge money into the system. That is why the evidence is ignored, similar to how it was during Covid.

Puberty blockers and breast or genital removal are not gender affirming. Confused people need to learn to live with the sex they were born with.

There’s a reason why suddenly everything, including things like the sex life of beetles became related to “Global Warming.” If you wanted funding, or you wanted something published, it had to relate to the political agenda. The same is true for “gender identity.” Gender went from something to describe language to mean sex. Sex went from something physical to a social construct. Then, changing the social construct, say, the “sex” listed on your driver’s license, became important because it reinforced the social construct, making it somehow real. (That sounds confusing because it’s insane.)

The point is, you can’t trust any “study” or published article because the hurtles to getting funding, and then publication must be jumped, and the jumping requires that the results you get verify the prejudice of the people who fund and publish. Science as we knew it no longer exists.

Wow! Two articles from The Hill on consecutive days that aren’t complete nonsense! (The other was that one yesterday about Michigan and the interstate popular vote compact.)

I’d better keep my shotgun handy, because I expect low-flying pigs over the property any minute.

“Why Europe and America are going in opposite directions on youth transgender medicine”

Because their leftists are not PURE MARXISTS just yet, and thus their judges are not willing to force this crap on their countries.

6th circuit just overturned lower court injunction against enforcing the Tennesee law against this crap. IOWs 6th circuit upheld the force of the law while the appeal continues.

gender-affirming INSANITY AFFIRMING

Any rational being would have to wonder why a previously successful and prospering culture would want to cultivate insanity. Because that's what is happening.

But keep in mind that was ONLY because of Republican judges. For Leftist judges, all that matters are that rulings go against conservatives, and if it means butchering thousands of kids a year, then SO BE IT, as far as they’re concerned.

I get the sense that the author believes socialist/central beauocracy health care is the cure.

I was reminded, last night, of the fact that Seattle had built at least one low cost condo building that was open to gays only. They have built lots of these low cost housing projects, mostly in upper class neighborhoods, all over the areas surrounding Seattle, but the problem with favoring the alphabet soup Democrats has been that Seattle Gays are not poor, nor are they disadvantaged, not as group. Trans people, on the other hand, are often disadvantaged because they are mentally ill.

The Democrats knew this from the start. They have used this illness as if it is a Red Badge of Courage. They have used and abused this group, to destroy the western family structure, as well as civil structure and pull the rug out from under everything that we thought we knew as basic fact.

Trans-gender is a Mental condition. Many children out grow the confusion with family support, some end up gay, some are straight, but very few believe that they are trapped in the wrong body. …until crazed Leftists put the idea into their head.

So, what do the New World Order Leftists do? They give them hormones that permanently alter their sexual development, hormones, which are illegal if used to exaggerate characteristics of normal males (testosterone). Some of the effects of testosterone are known to be, These can include: rapid mood swings. overreaction to everyday situations. nervousness. anxiety. crying. Does that sound like it would help a mentally disturbed child?

“Science as we knew it no longer exists.”

But then, science has never existed to the Demonics (the very same leftists that are now running and ruining things on planet earth). And it never will exist to them. Because they insist on denying God and God made “Science”. They are the true and ultimate “deniers”.

It’s just a low-flying carrot. Don’t fall for it.

Ten years ago a friend, who is a family therapist, told me ‘friends’ in the industry scolded her for not getting on the ‘gender train’ because that was where the money was. She was appalled. This has been going on for a while.
