The Numbers On Child Abuse

I don’t know if I am a minority or a majority, but I believe that gender reassignment surgery or drugs given to children under 21 is child abuse. A child can’t buy cigarettes or alcohol until they are 21, why are they allowed to make a decision that will make them a major medical patient for the rest of their life? Gender reassignment is not a one-time thing–the body keeps producing the hormones and testosterone that correspond with the person’s actual sex, so drugs have to be prescribed to overcome nature. The person becomes hooked on prescription drugs for life.

On October 8th, MRCTV posted an article about the number of children who are undergoing gender reassignment procedures in America.

The article reports:

Nearly 14,000 minors nationwide have had gender reassignment procedures performed on them in the past four years, according to a new first-of-its-kind database published Tuesday.

Do No Harm, a coalition of 13,000 doctors, nurses physicians, and concerned citizens across all 50 states and 14 countries, created the database as part of its mission “to safeguard healthcare from ideological threats.”

The study examines gender reassignment procedures – such as puberty/hormone blockers and gender reassignment surgeries like mastectomies and penile reconstruction – performed on minors (under 18), including one seven-year-old child.

The article includes the following list:

Top 10 Most Gender Reassignment Procedures Performed on Minors (Per Capita, 2019-23)

    1. Oregon 899
    2. Vermont 6,183
    3. Washington 1,082
    4. Delaware 8,918
    5. Massachusetts 9,790
    6. New Hampshire 10,678
    7. Ohio 11,568
    8. Michigan 13,053
    9. Alaska 13,334
    10. Maine 13,761

Unless parents stand up to this insanity it will continue, and much of what is being done to these children is irreversible. When you allow your 15-year-old daughter to become your son, have you considered that at 30 she might want to have children? That probably won’t be possible. Think carefully before you support the idea that a child can intelligently decide to change their sex.

Protecting Our Children

On Tuesday, Townhall reported the following:

On Saturday, a federal appeals panel said a Tennessee law restricting irreversible, experimental transgender care for children could be enforced. 

The Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio granted an emergency appeal from Tennessee to allow the legislation to go into effect. Previously, a judge struck blocked components of the law, which Townhall covered.

“The case is far from over, but this is a big win,” Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti said in a statement. “The court of appeals lifted the injunction, meaning the law can be fully enforced, and recognized that Tennessee is likely to win the constitutional argument and the case.”

Reportedly, the ruling is preliminary and will be in effect until the appeals court conducts a full review of the appeal. The case should be resolved by Sept. 30.

Gender reassignment therapy is a money-maker for the medical industry. A person who changes their gender as a young person will be on medication for the rest of their life to maintain that change. There will also be medical complications from that change.

In June 2015, PBS reported:

The physical changes that hormones bring about are irreversible, making the decision more weighty than taking puberty blockers. Some of the known side effects of hormones include things that might sound familiar: acne and changes in mood. Patients are also warned that they may be at higher risk for heart disease or diabetes later in life. The risk of blood clots increases for those who start estrogen. And the risk for cancer is an unknown, but it is included in the warnings doctors give their patients.

Another potential dilemma facing transgender children, their families and their doctors is this: Taking cross hormones can reduce fertility. And there isn’t enough research to find out of it is reversible or not. So when children make the decision to start taking hormones, they have to consider whether they ever want to have biological children.

These are not decisions young teenagers are equipped to make. The drugs and medical procedures need to be postponed until a person is mature enough to comprehend the risks of what they are doing.
