The age for double mastectomies, the removal of breasts, has been lowered to 15. Sixteen-year-old boys may seek breast augmentations, facial surgeries and tracheal shaves to reduce the appearance of an Adam\u2019s apple.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Does anyone actually believe that a 15-year old has the emotional and mental maturity to make such a life-changing decision? Being a teenager is difficult enough without the current peer pressure from social media affirming the idea of being transgender.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psypost.org\/2017\/12\/many-transgender-kids-grow-stay-trans-50499\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PsyPost<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The\u00a0<i>National Post<\/i>\u00a0recently covered the CBC\u2019s cancellation of a BBC documentary about transgender children (<i><a href=\"http:\/\/nationalpost.com\/news\/cbc-orders-last-minute-cancellation-of-bbc-documentary-that-activists-say-is-transphobic\">Why CBC cancelled a BBC documentary that activists claimed was \u2018transphobic\u2019<\/a><\/i>).\u00a0 In that coverage, the\u00a0<i>Post<\/i>\u00a0shared claims made by some activists criticizing some scientific studies, but did not apparently fact-check those claims, so I thought I would outline the studies here.\u00a0 For reference, in a previous post, I listed the results of every study that ever followed up transgender kids to see how they felt in adulthood (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sexologytoday.org\/2016\/01\/do-trans-kids-stay-trans-when-they-grow_99.html\"><i>Do trans- kids stay trans- when they grow up?<\/i><\/a>).\u00a0 There are 12 such studies in all, and they all came to the very same conclusion: The majority of kids cease to feel transgender when they get older.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So what happens to the children who have had permanent life-altering surgery as teenagers when they want to detransition? I really think we need to rethink this entire transgender thing. Gender dysphoria is a mental illness.
