Are you a boy or a girl? Or something else?
The AMA, APA, AAMFT, ACA and our once reliable agencies that traditionally represented evidence-based research and science, have lost sight of what’s happening on a mass scale.
Pharma has thrown their hat in the ring as well.
Puberty blockers for children as young as 11 with the Dora the Explorer type advertising are on kids YouTube channels.
My formal childhood development training tells me that gender and confusion is normal in the early years. I spoke with an elementary school librarian last week. She said this has always been the case:
The awkwardness, Who Am I, How can I fit in and be liked?
Social transitioning is a medical slide... it’s almost impossible to slow as social media celebrates their "journey." A young male (to female) on TikTok is chronicling his transition weekly. His audience is now at 5 million.
- Puberty blockers are not reversible.
- LGB, a lesbian gay bi alliance is loudly peeling away from the T ideology.
- Nurses are speaking up. I personally know a nurse at Rady. She is horrified at what she sees but unable to risk losing her job.
- Hospital training videos and documents are leaking out (Boston Children's, Vanderbilt) revealing the true age of minors "consenting" to breast removal. After this week's media scrutiny, several gender clinics have removed pages on their site.
- A lifetime of hormone therapy during crucial reproductive years will cause cancer.
- These kids become lifelong patients.
- They will fight infections their entire life.
- 75% of teens referred to Gender Clinics are girls.
- They will never experience an orgasm.
GSA's (Gay Straight Alliance), clubs, once a fantastic haven for gay kiddos on high school campuses, are now commercially sponsored, in place at elementary schools (4th/5th graders) with perceived pressure by gay kids to begin their identity/gender change (pronouns, secrecy from parents.)
“I can’t believe parents go along with these transitions.” They don’t!!! They can't stop it.
“My son is 9 and has some school anxiety. Counseling has always been helpful for me but to be honest, I have serious fear about taking my son to a therapist. My son’s favorite color is pink. He is a gentle, sweet boy. He hates sports and loves to read, color and quietly daydream. Will a young therapist tell him that he is really a girl?” Who would you take him to?
