These gender benders have a serious mental disorder and the result of suicidal tendencies come as no surprise to me . Catering to them only perpetuates the madness and the surgeons are the catalyst of this insanity .

#10 ~ "These gender benders have a serious mental disorder and the result of suicidal tendencies come as no surprise to me . Catering to them only perpetuates the madness and the surgeons are the catalyst of this insanity. " from the article: One area where medical professionals should tread lightly is in the diagnosis and treatment of children who have gender identity issues. A 2015 study aimed to gather input from pediatric endocrinologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and ethicists—both those in favor and those opposed to early treatment—to further the ethical debate. The results showed no consensus on many basic topics of childhood gender dysphoria and insufficient research to support any recommendations for childhood treatments, including the currently published guidelines that recommend suppressing puberty with drugs until age 16, after which cross-sex hormones may be given. An analysis of the 38 youth referrals for gender dysphoria to the Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic at the University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, showed that more than half had psychiatric and/or developmental comorbidities.  It’s time to stop using children as experiments. Without sufficient research and consensus on treatment of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria, and knowing over half have co-existing disorders, any invasive treatment, even if recommended by the current guidelines, is simply an experiment. It’s time to stop using children as experiments!
