Thanks for linking Charlie's speech MrsL2016
Extract:
"There is no evidence that hormone blockers are safe.
This generation are guinea pigs, and the fact that scientists and doctors are staying quiet about this is criminal.
It is also concerning that once a teenager has started taking hormone blockers, they are much more likely to transition. And as far as I can see, this is because hormone blocking makes desisting difficult - it almost completely destroys any chance of their brains maturing properly, and working out their issues with their bodies.
This should be a huge concern for scientists, doctors, and other medical practitioners, but the research on the subject and conversations around this are almost entirely absent.
Where there should be research, there is silence.
Instead, we hear time and time again that hormone blockers are safe, despite the science suggesting they’re dangerous and we continue to commit children into a path of painful surgeries and lifelong hormone replacement treatment.
Lesbian youth are exceptionally vulnerable to this type of ideology, particulaly as many will be gender non conforming. Coupled with the oppression of the female sex more generally, many young lesbians will match the criteria needed for them to start hormone blockers from as young as ten years old.
Is that any surprise in a world that oppresses lesbians and idolizes straight men that so many young girls want to be men?
Young lesbians today are up against challenges that were not around when we were their age.
Instead of having no lesbian role models, they are surrounded by people who call themselves lesbians. These people are often males, who tell them that being a lesbian is transphobic - because you are meant to be attracted to ‘gender’, and not sex.
With few groups or communities for lesbian girls who reject this ideology, there are limited places they can go for support - I have no doubt that this further drives young girls onto the path of transitioning. Accepting males into their sexual orientation is a pressure placed on lesbians, but is not expected of straight men.
I could not have predicted that ten years into the future, I wouldn’t have the same feelings of self loathing as I did as a teen. I could not have predicted that by allowing my brain to mature, I would grow out of the idea that there is such a thing as a ‘boy’ brain or a ‘girl’ brain and I had been born with the wrong one."
Meanwhile, a year after it was promised the Equalities Office still hasn't commissioned the 'urgent' study into why so many young girls want to transition, and the BBC is pushing genderism in schools.
