Why Do Liberals Ignore Science Regarding Transgender Surgery for Minors?

So you admit it is not happening

Puberty blockers work

Puberty blockers "work" at blocking puberty.

But that isn't a good idea to block normal puberty, except under rare circumstance where a patient is suffering from prostrate or other hormone sensitive cancers.

Puberty blockers do nothing to alleviate gender dysphoria.

Of course its happening. Hopefully not often. But the number of cases of minors "transitioning" and even having mastectomies and hormone treatments is well documents like the "Jazz" Jennings program on the tremendous TLC network

You don't understand too good, do ya? Unless there is a real medical reason for puberty blockers, other than to pretend that they are "treating" a mental illness rather than an endocrine disorder, one is still too many.

How many Breast implants were done on the same age group?
What about breast reduction surgery?

 

[HeyNorm]

I have yet to hear of a gender expert that is adept at looking into the future.

IMO, Until then, any medical expert that gives gender affirming chemical treatment to a minor should face severe criminal prosecution should his patient, in the future express regret.

Including themselves being castrated.

Matters not.

There is no reason to perform any breast surgery on pre-adolescent children, unless they have breast cancer or some reason other than mental illness..

They want to treat a mental disorder with an endocrine solution. That's like wanting to treat a hangnail with psychotropic drugs.

Or.................................. They want money and don't care how they get it.

For a bot, you're not very accurate. You're in the wrong place.

One of the few tools that they have, that their TV keeps trying to convince them are effective tools.

So you are admitting that genital surgeries are not being performed on minors and any surgery is generally breast surgery that minors can already qualify for

So you just double down on your false claims of the sexual mutilation of children

Where is your proof?

How many children were sexually mutilated in the US last year?

Dems / Socialists tend to retreat to conspiracy theories when t confronted with the horrors they inflict on children.

“but… but… but what about…”

Typical Dem / Socialist sidestepping when they can’t defend a form of FGM that groomers practice on underage females.

I haven't bothered to check on the numbers of adolescents and teens who've been allowed to get transgender surgery, with or without parental consent. My point is that such a thing should never be allowed because it constitutes child abuse, since children are in no position to be making such a decision.

And we're not just talking about irreversible transgender surgery but also about giving minors gender-transition drugs. I agree with Dr. Heidi Overton:

Only 12–27% of children with gender dysphoria—a condition where one’s perceived gender identity differs from their biological sex—carry it into adulthood, yet many children in the U.S. are still eligible for irreversible therapies and surgeries.

Many puberty blockers given to children are prescribed for off-label (unapproved) use and can have dangerous side effects, including lowered bone density, stunted growth, and permanent infertility. There is limited research on the long-term effects of transgender interventions on children and little evidence of mental health benefits.

Policymakers should adopt policies to protect children from potentially harmful and irreversible sex reassignment surgeries and medications. (LINK)

I do know that some minor teens have had transgender surgery, and that some adolescents have been encouraged and/or pressured to start taking transitioning drugs.

Washington state now allows teens as young as 13 to get transgender surgery, even without parental consent (LINK).

Last year in California, parents sued their 11-year-old daughter's school district after they discovered that the daughter's school was helping her undergo gender transition without their knowledge. A school counselor even gave the girl a boy's name and identity, again without consulting the parents (LINK).

Two years ago, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health lowered the recommended minimum age for hormone treatment from 16 to 14, and said that transgender surgery could be performed on teens as young as 15 (LINK).

Protecting Minors from Gender Ideology

Do No Harm will fight to protect children from the dangerous ideology of so-called “gender-affirming care.”

Liberal "science" isn't science. It's science in the same sense that Trofim Lysenko practiced science.

You can’t “groom”someone to be another sex

You can't do anything to make someone another sex. I guess that's the entire point. You can make someone believe they are something they are not. Trans genderism used to be, correctly, considered a mental illness until PC infiltrated psychiatry by indoctrinating young doctors. It's pathetic and frankly pretty scary.

 

[mikegriffith1]

The degree of liberal evasion and denial in this thread is incredible, but not too surprising.

If a 15-year-old boy came with his parents to a hospital and requested a vasectomy, even if his parents approved, he would probably be turned away because no doctor would perform the surgery. Indeed, hospital staff might well call Child Protective Services and report the parents for their reckless, irresponsible parenting.

If a 10-year-old girl's school teacher discovered that the girl was smoking cigarettes with her parents' permission, she would most likely call Child Protective Services and report the parents for child abuse and neglect.

But liberals think it's just fine and dandy for minor teens to be allowed to have their sexual organs permanently removed, with or without their parents' permission. It's just depraved, and they don't care.

This is what happens when you have people who have rejected traditional morality and basic decency.

A few years ago I asked what would be the next perversion that liberals would seek to normalize. Well, we now have the answer: allowing minor teens to have their sexual organs irreversibly removed, even though they are in no position to agree to such surgery.

I predict that the next perversion that liberals will seek to normalize will be adult-child sexual relationships. We are already seeing a few liberals pushing for decriminalizing such relationships.

 

[Polishprince]

Kids who identify as the opposite gender aren't really interested in having it cut off anyhow.

There was an episode of South Park when Cartman identified as "Erica" so the school would build him his own private bathroom.

That's about average for the course.

 

[mikegriffith1]

We should also keep in mind that in some states social workers are removing minors from their homes and placing them in state care because the parents oppose the minors' desire to identify as the opposite gender. A few of these cases have made the news, and I suspect there are other cases that have gone unreported.

Also, in some universities, scientists who affirm the scientific fact that gender is biological risk losing their jobs. Dr. Carole Hooven, an evolutionary biologist, was driven from Harvard University for the crime of observing that a person's gender is biological and for saying that terms such as "male," "female," and "pregnant woman" are scientifically valid. The transgender lobby on campus called her factual statement "transphobic" and "bigoted." Post-graduate students refused to be teacher assistants for her, and many students began to boycott her classes, even though she had always received outstanding ratings from students in course evaluations.

For liberals, "diversity, equality, and inclusion" only apply if you agree with them. If you don't agree with them, you're guilty of hate, transphobia/homophobia, bigotry, paranoia, etc., and don't deserve to have a job.

These are the same folks who argue that a 13-year-old girl should be allowed to have her sexual organs permanently removed without her parents' consent. Liberals use the Orwellian term "gender-affirming surgery" to describe this child abuse.

Of course, we should remember that the majority of liberals do not even have children. Many liberals believe that having children is an ecologically irresponsible act that contributes to "overpopulation."

Pretty damn funny seeing a USMBcon posting about ignoring science.

Anytime you want to discuss science, I'm always available. I've probably forgotten more than you ever knew.
