Doctors Describe Dangers of Puberty Blockers Used on Children That LGBT Activists Don't Tell
Christian Post ^ | 10/12/2017 | Samuel Smith

Many children and families struggling with gender dysphoria are not receiving the facts about the permanent consequences associated with "experimental" puberty-blocking and sex-reassignment treatments, nor are they being told that justification for such treatments are not backed by strong scientific evidence, doctors warned Wednesday.

"Much of what is being done here can be considered experimental treatment," Paul Hruz, a St. Louis-based doctor who is a professor of pediatrics, endocrinology, cell biology and physiology at the Washington University School of Medicine, said during a panel discussion on transgender medicine hosted by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation.

"But that is not how the public is hearing about this and [not] what the patients themselves and the families who are dealing with this issue are being presented with."

Hruz, who co-authored the June report published in The New Atlantis titled Growing Pains: Problems With Puberty Suppression in Treating Gender Dysphoria, and Dr. Michelle Cretella, the president of the conservative American College of Pediatricians, joined Dr. Allen Josephson of the University of Louisville and Heritage Foundation senior fellow Ryan Anderson to discuss the dangers and long-term consequences linked to the use of hormone therapy and puberty suppression treatments on children.

Although a number of mainstream medical societies and organizations have been recommending over the last decade that children who suffer from gender dysphoria be given a puberty-blocking drug and later be treated with cross-sex hormones before potential sex reassignment surgeries, Hruz said that "the evidence behind this new treatment paradigm is slim to none."

Puberty blockers wee touted as such only a few years ago. They were also aimed at delaying puberty in precocious children who show signs of sexual development at very young ages, down to less than a year old. I think some drug addictions are complicit.

It is mutilation of a body where every nucleus of every cell of the body continues to cry out the body’s gender,

Good people should never stop talking about this atrocity, although the Left (as always) will call it Hate Speech.

Luke 19:39-40
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"
"I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."

Tantamount to child abuse in my opinion. Let the children grow up as God intended when they were born.

Doctors need to see to it this barbaric practice is stopped at a federal level. Number one it is a rare mental disorder and should be treated as such meaning mental health therapy. Number two should allow exceptions for a rare truly medical disorder where a child is actually born with both reproductive systems and a choice has to be made.

The rest of this IMO falls under several sick acts of parents. One is their own perversion wanting to alter a child for their own sexual fantasies. A parent who is homosexual/bisexual/ whatever who insist their child be likewise and medically force it upon them. Or Munchausen by proxy a mental disorder where a parent wants attention by harming the child for attention. IOW we want the first transgender child in the school or family type of acts for the attention.

With the exception of actual duel reproductive organs in a child there is no medical reason to allow this barbaric practice. I would also think a child with this order showing a sexual identity crisis the parents as well should undergo a mental evaluation to determine if this is something they are creating.

I think it’s a bunch of very wealthy, very dark degenerates that are deep deep into the pedophilia lifestyle. Matters not if it’s male or female. They will, at any cost, keep the supply of zombied out kids available.

Think about it: drug these kids up at an early age, mess their heads up to the extent that they don’t know if they are male or female, encourage the addition or subtraction of offending body parts, discourage family units including parental authority and what do you have leftover? An empty shell of what used to be a human. Easy pickings for the dark forces.

Sick, sick, sick people in this world.

There was some gymnast that trained so hard, she didn’t menstruate until her 20s. As such, her bone density was way below normal.

Pity these kids as in 10-20 years they may have cancer of other major health consequences as a result of these puberty blocking treatments given just because their parents and loony therapists believe all this BS about being the wrong sex. Worse still as adults these kids may realize that the gender mutilating surgery and hormone treatments were all a lie

children are beginning to identify as transgender at ages as young as 2 years old

Wrong. Sick nutso parents are brainwashing their little 2 year olds. Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The parents crave attention over the well being of their child.

They want to destroy not only children’s minds, but their bodies too. That’s what the mentally ill do. You’d have to be a psychopath to do this to another human being. There is nothing scientific about mutilating a person’s body and giving them opposite sex hormones.

This is a very hopeful and useful discussion on the truth about what is happening to children with gender confusion. The video cut out eight times for me before I finally got through the whole panel discussion. Interesting.

...obedient, disposable, caste members.

The Eunuch caste who propped up the Pharaohs would've loved "puberty blockers".

There is nothing new under the Aten.

long-term consequences linked to the use of hormone therapy and puberty suppression treatments on children.
 
psy·cho·sis
sīˈkōsəs/
noun
  1. a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.
  2.

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization".
 
It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles. 
 
Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups:  those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation;  [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.  "

The cure? Take two hits of reality and call the doctor in the morning...

XX + XX = FAIL

XY + XY = FAIL

XX + XY = Human
