CRT, DEI, and SEL’s stoking of racial tensions aside, its efforts to promote gender confusion under the guise of serving minority gender groups, even among the prepubescent, are finally being recognized as fraudulent to wit:
- The statistical huge spike in young female to male sexual reassignment surgeries (4,000% in England alone) is now increasingly understood as a product of a social contagion effect;
- The closing of England’s Tavistock sexual transition surgery center following a review of its diagnosis and treatment protocols has stopped top-down, one size fits all transitioning” for children.
- England’s National Institute for Care and Excellence’s finding that the link between transitioning and improved psychological function was “very weak” and asserts that the common scare tactic that gender dysphoric children who are not allowed to transition are disproportionately suicide prone simply lacks evidence;

- Contrary to years of claims that puberty blockers are not harmful, America’s Food and Drug Administration now has a new warning on puberty blockers as they may cause brain swelling and vision loss;
- That America’s Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality found that:
“There is a lack of current evidence-based guidance for care of children and adolescents who identify as transgender regarding the benefits and harms of pubertal suppression, medical affirmation with hormone theory, and surgical affirmation;”
- Sweden’s National Board of Health and Welfare (SNBHW) drastically changed course after reviewing studies on the effect and safety of hormone treatments and now states that (1) this treatment
(1) this treatment “currently outweigh the possible benefits, that the treatments should be offered only in exceptional cases;”
(2) “that the phenomenon of detransition is more common than previously thought,” thus “gender-confirming treatment thus may lead to a deteriorating of health and quality of life (ie: harm)”
(3) there is a lack of evidence to support hormonal or surgical interventions, except for exceptional circumstances.
- Finland’s Counsel for Choices in Health Care (COHERE) asserts that
“In light of available evidence, gender reassignment of minors is an experimental practice,” and that “no irreversible treatments should be initiated.”
- Finland’s Dr. Riittakerttu Kaltiala-Heino (chief psychiatrist in the department of adolescent psychiatry at Tampere Hospital.) is of the opinion that “Scientific evidence for any interventions on minors with gender identity indication is actually zero;” that the dramatic rise in female to male transitions was a product of “political pressure,” “appeared to be very much influenced by other adolescents;” and unlike the original Dutch cohort current applicants “had severe psychiatric problems,” and that “virtually nothing is known” about adolescent-onset gender dysphoria.
• That the cohort in which sexual transitioning is based is a small Dutch group, mostly male, that had long-lasting gender dysphoria absent other mental health issues. (Not rapid developing gender dysphoria dominated by females transitioning to males as in the U.S.) and that even in this original study (in which subsequent views are based), the methodology “wasn’t terribly reliable;” - That there is a high rate of autism among those with adolescent-onset gender dysphoria;
- • That there is an alarming rate of unsatisfied detransitioners “almost completely ignored” in the American press.
Albeit extremely profitable for some, perhaps it is time to pause the use of our public schools to initiate non-mental health professionals’ secret “counseling,” “diagnosing,” and designing “interventions” to include the secret administration of puberty blockers which overwhelming leads to sexual mutilation of children. This phenomenon is grounded in the nonacademic agenda of CRT, SEL DEI’s ideological need to identify the “oppressed” rather than SCIENCE. It will be years before we can collect meaningful data on the impact of age-inappropriate pornography and psychological harm, and quality of life issues this rancid ideology has forced upon children and their parents.
