The headline will annoy the gender cult, but it is indicative of a transformation that has begun to crack the woke carapace of medical and chemical gender treatments for children. Corporate medicine is all in on this profit silo and the narratives supporting it, but it’s all a lie, and we’re just hurting children.
The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds), based in Florida, released a position statement on Feb. 7 stating that “social transition, puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones have no demonstrable, long-term benefit on the psychosocial well-being of adolescents with gender dysphoria.”
“A review of at least 60 research papers demonstrates no benefit to social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or surgical interventions for these youth,” lead author and vice president of ACPeds, Dr. Jane Anderson, wrote in an email to Fox News Digital.
The trouble began when The World Professional Association for Transgender Health got busted by an investigative reporter for telling truths in private that proved what they advocated was dangerous to the patients with little demonstrable upside. Shortly after, the UK health service banned hormone therapy for minors (ending the surgical freight train with it). Related: Transgender Hormone Therapy Increases Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke
The UK made its decisions after conducting a four-year study that showed the practice had no mental health benefit or made matters worse. An opinion shared by regulators in France, who “want to ban gender transition treatments for under-18s, after a report described sex reassignment in minors as potentially “one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine.”
We agree, but will the trend continue, and can it gain momentum in the US?
Abortion, another controversial topic, is a political holy grail on our shores, but most of the rest of the world prohibits it after six months, if not sooner. Given the political capital capable of sustaining such extremism, does common sense have any hope of breaking through to protect children from adults hellbent on stuffing them with puberty blockers and hormones?
