The transgender agenda, grooming school kids, and gender transition are just another failed experiment by the progressives. Social engineering that enriches the medical industrial complex, but as research continues to show, makes matters worse for people who have been convinced they have gender dysphoria.
To be clear, there is a very small segment of any population that actually has gender dysphoria, and with actual therapy, they can learn to live productive and happy lives. Grooming kids with ideas about sex and biology long before they have any physical interest or mental capacity is child abuse. Full Stop. If there is a hell, an awful lot of progressive types and their putrid blue water carriers are going to have their flesh consumed in fire for eternity.
I just said that to trigger the snowflakes, which is easy because they snap like twigs the moment anyone dares to contradict any of their weird little cults, so this is your trigger warning, snowflakes.
Another research project has determined that your cure for gender dysphoria doesn’t help and likely makes matters worse.

Imagine you are confused about your gender, and you think you were “born in the wrong body.” Do you really think a series of experimental drugs and surgeries to erase your biology and make you appear as the opposite sex would improve your psychological condition?
It should come as no surprise that a landmark study from Finland suggests the exact opposite: Fins under 23 who were diagnosed with gender dysphoria proved more likely to receive specialist-level psychiatric treatment, both before and more than two years after the first referral to a gender clinic—and “gender-affirming care” made things far worse.
The study, published Saturday in the journal Acta Paediatrica, finds that young people who were referred for gender identity services were more than three times more likely to receive specialist-level psychiatric treatment than other Fins, both before and after their first appointment.

Those who underwent medical interventions after such referrals proved even more likely to need specialist-level psychiatric help.
Most studies on the issue suffer from a lack of follow-up and a lack of consistent control groups. This study included both.
Working with the Finnish government, Statistics Finland, and a hospital with one of the country’s two gender clinics, the study analyzed eight groups: men and women with gender dysphoria who did not undergo sex-rejecting procedures; men and women with gender dysphoria who did undergo such procedures; and men and women from the general public, matched by birth year and municipality to each patient in the other groups.
The study used the 11-digit personal identification number that each Finnish resident receives to track medical data and psychiatric visits.
The study found that 61.7% of the gender-dysphoric young people received specialist-level psychiatric treatment more than two years after being referred to a gender clinic, while only 14.6% of the control group received such treatment in a comparable time period.
These young people also proved more likely to receive psychiatric treatment before their gender dysphoria diagnosis (45.7% compared to 15.0% of the control group).
Gender transition resulted in worse mental health outcomes, which is one heck of a kick in the transwoman’s balls, but wait. It gets worse.
The study also finds that young people diagnosed with gender dysphoria after 2010 had greater psychiatric needs than those who were diagnosed before 2010. Only 15.3% of young Fins diagnosed before 2010 had visited a specialist beforehand, and 14.2% had done so two years after their first referral. Meanwhile, 47.9% of those who were diagnosed after 2010 had received specialist-level help beforehand, and 61.3% received it two years afterward.
Psychological problems increased even more during follow-up after “gender-affirming care,” rising from 9.8% to 60.7% among men trying to appear female and from 21.6% to 54.5% among women trying to appear male.
I think we can agree that the idea of gender transition, hormone treatments, and disfiguring surgery were not only not common practice but rare and virtually unknown until recently.
School was not grooming kids by filling their heads up with crap about being in the wrong body, which could make anyone a little nuts, but to put that in a kid’s head ought to be criminal.
No one in business or industry was trying to impress the (In)Human Rights Council, and while gay marriage and gay and lesbian relationships were increasingly acceptable to everyone except Muslims, according to the research, the more attention it got, the worse off the “patients.”
As with COVID, the supposed cure makes things worse, a fact we’ve reported previously:

It can be said that, alongside the increased need for psychiatric attention, we also see rage issues that are producing mass shooters all over the country.
I have posited that the progressive left sees this as a parallel benefit to their depopulation agenda. You make them un-dateable, neuter them when you can, and that takes them out of the gene pool. It fits nicely with their century-long love affair with ensuring utopia isn’t peopled with the wrong people. But nothing informs their citizens more than mass shootings. Heck, they even ran guns into Mexico so they could claim cartels were using US guns to kill Americans.
But put all that aside.
Entire generations of potentially productive and happy people are being groomed into a lifetime of psychotropic drugs, and if they choose surgery, depression, suicidal ideation, hormone therapy, and pain mediation. All of which leads them into a greater mental health crisis than if we left them alone.
Stop grooming trans kids. That’s the message from the Cass Report, and all the research we’ve shared at the links above. But they won’t stop until someone’s hospitals go bankrupt, doctors and therapists pushing this crap get sued into poverty, and at least a few folks end up in a women’s prison with men pretending to be women.
That is the hard truth.
A super-majority of Americans oppose it, but the progressives can’t seem to let go of it. They think they can outlast Trump or whatever counter-revolution he leads, and whoever steps up to replace him to lead it.
If you can’t think of a good reason to show up in the midterms and vote against Democrats, this might be a good one. That and everything they are doing in California, New York, Virginia under Spanberger, NYC under Mamdani, and every other Democrat-run urban shithole.
People are fleeing these places because Democrats can’t do affordable. They destroy everything they touch, including other people’s kids, and if they get their hands on you, you’re next. It might be an “experimental vaccine” that, with significant side effects that like Democrats, does the opposite of what’s advertised.
Just like the kids. They say they are helping them. That it is some sort of moral imperative, a right even, but at the other end, the kids are worse off, just like blacks, Latinos, workers, and women. Even the LGB crowd is worse off thanks to tranny-obsessed democrats deploying real conversion therapy (drugs and surgery) to turn perfectly ordinary gays and lesbians into sad, suicidal people one snapped twig away from shooting up a school.
