US worst country for pushing 'extreme gender ideology,' sex change surgeries on youth: report

The United States is the most permissive country when it comes to pushing gender ideology and prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children, compared to nearly a dozen European countries that have implemented more strenuous barriers for youth seeking to obtain drugs and body-mutilating surgeries to look more like the opposite sex.

Do No Harm, which describes itself as “a diverse group of physicians, healthcare professionals, medical students, patients, and policymakers” determined to “protect healthcare from a radical, divisive, and discriminatory ideology,” released research titled “Reassigned” Monday that explained, “extreme gender ideology drives the United States to provide transgender medical care to younger children, while Europe goes a safer and more scientific route.”

The report concluded that while the U.S. continues to defer to “gender-affirming care,” which views the refusal to “affirm” a trans-identified youth’s self-professed sexual identity as “harmful and unethical,” European countries have begun to follow a different approach. The report attributes the embrace of so-called gender-affirming care in the U.S. to the fact that “the belief that biological sex and gender are socially constructed has made its way into American classrooms, courtrooms, bathrooms, and boardrooms.”…


…The Florida Boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine have banned gender transition procedures for minors, while the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have issued opinions classifying them as a form of child abuse. On the other hand, Massachusetts has declared “gender-affirming care” a constitutional right.

We must do better than this in the USA. This news article as reported shows that some parts of America have much to be ashamed of. They are dragging our nation into a moral and cultural sewer.

 

Thank God for Florida and Texas!

 

Oh no! Some people out there might want to be decent human beings to trans folks instead of treating them like garbage! The shame!

 

These decisions can wait until one is an adult and fully understands the real world consequences of such decisions.

 

Which, by and large, is where that happens.

 

Ah yes

What’s interesting is that the FAQ of the site doesn’t really discuss any major medical issues but instead rants against… the most problematic issue our healthcare faces

Is it access to medical treatment?
No

Or the skyrocketing cost?
No

Americas falling life expectancy?
Also no

You guessed it! Critical Race Theory

 

Or perhaps some folks prefer the truth over lefty propaganda.

 

The real bottom line here….

 

Too bad that that is not entirely the case.

 

More meaningless dog whistles

 

News flash! Bigoted right wing anti trans group says that there are too many trans folks

 

One is too many because there’s no such thing as a trans anything, only science deniers believe otherwise. It’s gotten to the point where the LBG folks are distancing themselves from the Ts.

 

Science itself is now saying gender is a spectrum

Jesus, that is ugly

 

And even if people think otherwise and think they want to change the physical appearance of their body it should not be allowed to be done until one is 21 years of age or at least an adult at 18.

 

What about those poor babies born “intersex”?

 

What about any baby born with a birth defect?

 

Sorry but that isn't real science.

 

Okay - want to disprove me? Note you did not provide a citation
Admittedly I myself did not use research papers as I generally find many here do not know how to read them

What about them? The same dilemma is faced with issues such as “Siamese” or conjoined twins. Should we wait until they are old enough to make life and death decisions before attempting surgery?

 

Federal court orders pediatrician group to give DeSantis data on its support for transitions for minors.

Turn It Over:

'The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) must provide the state of Florida with documentation on why it supports gender transitions for minors and any communication with its members about that decision-making process, a District Court ruled.'

'The AAP is involved in a lawsuit against Florida over a new rule established last year that prohibits the use of Medicaid funds on sex changes and other transgender-related care. The AAP signed on in support of the plaintiffs, leading Florida to subpoena it and numerous other organizations for information on their policies toward individuals with gender dysphoria and how those policies were developed.'

'Thursday, Judge Carl J. Nichols ordered the AAP to turn over information on its total number of members, documents on how it establishes guidelines and policy positions, any guidelines or policy positions on gender-affirming care for gender dysphoria and how those guidelines or policies were developed, to the state of Florida by Feb. 2. The organization must also share any official communications it had with its members about those policies and guidelines.'

They walked into this fight and good for this judge for forcing them to be transparent. 'The AAP should have been fully transparent on these issues from the beginning.'

 

Yes in most places the govt is more involved in telling you how to raise your kids. What happened to republicans backing parental choice?

 

give us counts by age for last year, this is rare

 

tWhat is the unit of the x-axis in your first diagram? How does one measure gender in an individual? What does "man" and "woman" mean?"

If an individual comes to a clinic complaining of GID what tests are performed to place him on the gender spectrum to make sure he is not a hypocondriac?

 

And other people may want to be decent human beings and not treat GID sufferers like guinea pigs for bizzare experiments with hormones and surgery.
