Studies on gnhra drugs used for children and adolescents with otherwise healthy bodies isn’t a tangent, it’s the remit of the judicial review.
There are none so blind as to those who refuse to see!
Look, I couldn’t give a rats arse if adults make properly informed decisions regarding transition. I don’t believe it brings the happiness that many transitioners are seeking and it can be very damaging for loved ones (especially wives and children of late transitioners) but I take the JK Rowling point of view, dress however you want, choose your own name, love in the way that suits you as long as it’s consenting and safe.
But tell me a medication is a ‘harmless pause’ and convince my child that it’s the only option of that or suicide and my liberal attitude stops dead. Same with telling me it’s fine to to let rapists self ID into women’s prisons. Trans people exist (although I firmly believe that trans is not one thing) but that’s not a reason for otherwise logical adults to start acting like they’ve been sniffing glue. If someone tells me stuff that is clearly bullshit and might put my children at risk and I am going to research the shit out of your claims.
One of my children is a paediatric oncology patient, another wants to transition. From my fairly unique viewpoint it’s clear that in Britain 2020, children with gender dysphoria are not being treated with the same high standards as children with cancer. And that’s not related to waiting lists (which are way too high for a whole heap of non-fatal chronic conditions, including autism spectrum assessment, gender dysphoria and general adolescent mental health issues).
I’m no big pharma conspiracy theorist or anti vaxxer, ask any oncology parent and 99.99% of them will tell you that big pharma saved our kids lives.
But something has gone badly wrong in paediatric gender medicine, it’s become political, not evidence based.
Trans activists told us that Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) in teens was made up, despite parents repeatedly saying it’s nothing like what was once called ‘transsexualism’, as has been documented for 60 or so years.
But that new generation of ROGD teenagers are now starting to detransition, because they were never really trans.
If political ideology hadn’t prevented research by people like Littman and Cantor, some of this could be avoided, instead, the mantra is ‘you are trans if you think you are’.
No kid gets chemo on the basis of thinking they might have cancer. Why are we inducing chemical menopause in girls who think they might be boys?
It’s nonsensical, and all fo do with adult transitioners obsession with ‘passing’. They project their difficulties onto kids, imagining that blocking natural puberty would’ve made their own lives better. But look at poor Jazz Jennings - transition complete at 18, with the emotional maturity of a 12/13 year old, has never experienced sexual desire (not even fancying people) and is rapidly developing a binge eating disorder, in front of our very eyes.
Or look at child transitioner, Nikki Tutorials. Looks great on a close cropped screen for make up, but stand Nikki next to an average woman and the woman looks like a character from Honey I Shrunk the Kids.
Childhood transition does not do what trans adults imagine it to do (make you pass) but instead causes a whole heap of other physical issues. One of the Tavistock kids in their study has the bone strength of a geriatric.
You can’t fuck about with a child’s endocrinology and not induce negative consequences.
Paediatric transition is a medical scandal unfolding in real time in front of our eyes.
