Absolutely agree, this is insanity, poor research, corrupt Dr's and pharma=$$$. Also, hormones for women have been proven to cause cancers, imagine what these Frankenstein Dr's cause damage thru the surgeries. Save our Children!!!
Some of the parents will be "persued" by their children VERY aggressively, and it ain't gonna be cheap nor pretty for them. But as good parents who want only the best for their kids they'll have to go along with whatever the kids choose to do TO their parents. "Let's see now, you don't really NEED this part, nor this one...There; now you're perfect."
The insurance company also has a hand in it since they are willing to approve this without questions while having other surgery would require extensive procedure to go through.
I've asked a similar question. My 5 year old granddaughter spent 2 weeks identifying as a "Sister of Battle". Should we have capitulated and put the child on the front lines of war with a rifle and some body armor ? No. Because she is 5. Plus after some time pretending to be a woman of war, she decided to be a hedgehog for a week.
Not an easy comment, more of a horror story but based on legit concerns worded... in a way that the comment stays...)This is actually my concerns with ab.. ort eon.... More than half a decade ago I read some ideas that promoted after the birth situations. Much much later than the time of. The real concern was the writting seemed to hint at the question “ When is a human a human?” And the idea being “when they can tell you” So a young child, i dicating their a puppy dog, in light of that horrible idea at its greatest extent, could be uthenized, because they dont have human value. Yeah its concerning!
It's even WORSE than that, Dan! Imagine if your daughter told you that her school councillor agreed she should have her healthy eye removed. Then the councillor snuck your underage daughter across state lines to California WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE in order to have the surgery...??
He's spot on, doing this to children is absolutely insane and deplorable. It's exactly as he says, you're performing irreversible physiological changes on a child on practically a whim.
@@goranmilic442 Personally, if an adult wants to make a physical change to themself, I don't have much issue with it. It shouldn't be paid for with taxpayer dollars though. Really not much different from something like plastic surgery, but it's a voluntary operation, so it should come out of their pocket.
i don’t think you understand how much of a bitch gender dysphoria is, you can’t ignore it and cbt or other talk therapies either don’t do anything to help alleviate the pain or they actively hurt patients
When i was 6 years old, the school system forced me to take psychotropic meds or i could not get an education. The very definition of indoctrinated and brainwashed fits my childhood seamlessly. Unless adults do more to speak out or stand up for the kids it'll just continue to happen. Lot of dudes just claim that "oh i'd do anything for the kids" meanwhile as a 6 year old i was restrained by other adults and forced into a box, also the daily forced medication consumption. People claim there all this negativity going on, all this blah blah blah but i was abused by the public school system my entire childhood.
the whole country needs to follow florida and other states that will fire doctors if they decide to do this type of surgery on a child. the doctors will loose their medical license also.
Unfortunately the hospital that employs the doctor, in order to receive federal grants, enforce the doctor to do harm. Time for doctors to stand up for the truth.
The progressive left try to skirt around "do no harm" by arguing not aiding a transition will cause the person to kill themselves so, in order to "do no harm' they must affirm the transition.
Isn't it crazy how thousands of doctors who follow and uphold this oath on every other matter turn a blind eye on this one matter? It definitely isn't that they believe and show evidence that no harm is being done. How far has this country fallen smh
@@kerry3496 Why start NOW? The vast majority of Doctors allowed the Covid Lies to Persist! Although to be fair, the ones that DID Speak to Truth were SEVERELY ostracized and some lost their License!

The fact that a parent would take their 11 yearolds idea that he wanted to be a she is nuts. What if your 11 yearold said he wanted to be an alcoholic because he would rather hang out at the bar and play pool or pinball rather go to school, because it looks like the bar is more fun. Any parent that buys into ANY of this should not have custody of children.
Wow, isn't it crazy how a child wanting to present differently to others... is not at all in any way comparable to economic life decisions? Like, what if your child decided to assassinate the president? Isn't that the same thing as them saying they like wearing purple shirts?
For preadolescents transition is entirely social, and for adolescents the first line of medical care is 100% temporary puberty delaying treatment that has no long term effects. Hormone therapy isn't an option until their mid teens, by which point the chances that they will "desist" are close to zero. Reconstructive genital surgery is not an option until their late teens/early 20's at the youngest. And transition-related medical care is recognized as medically necessary, frequently life saving medical care by every major medical authority. Withholding medical care from an adolescent who needs it is not a goddamn neutral option. Transition is absolutely necessary to keep many trans kids alive. Without transition a hell of a lot of them commit suicide. When able to transition rates of suicide attempts drop to the national average. Ignorance isnt a life sentence
So many cry babies in these comments. Lol. Move to another country if you don't like this one. Remember how certain people kept saying that 7-8 years ago? Keep that same energy.

It’s because the parents are doing what their children want instead of the children being PROTECTED by their parents. When my boys were little, we were in a grocery store and they wanted candy (at 9:00 am). I said, “No” An elderly man turned to me and said, “Do you know I rarely hear mothers say ‘no’ to their children! It’s refreshing to know some mothers still do.” When you are raising children, compliments are rare, but l knew “No” was in their best interest that day.
A lollipop at 9am? The kid would have been ok either way but probably happier if they got the lollipop. You’re not protecting your child from anything, you just didn’t want them to have sugar at 9am. 🤦♀️
It's habbit forming, agreeing to giving a kid sugar in the morning isn't great, will it kill them now, no, will it potentially form bad habbits, maybe. Good parenting as far as I can see.
@@Akko81 You can be a good parent and protect your kids when they actually NEED to be protected, one lollipop for THAT MORNING would have done nothing other than make the kid happy, it’s not like your going to let them eat pounds of sugar EVERY morning and every day…..I was just saying for that one morning you saying no to your kid just because you didn’t want them to have sugar is far from PROTECTING them. 👍
@Show Me Something Not saying you're wrong, one lollipop isn't the end of the world, but saying yes to kids to make them happy isn't alway the best way. Kids will push and push parents, whereby saying yes shuts them up, or, as you said, makes them happy. The easy ways aren't always the best. To my original point, setting a president to kids on bad habits makes them think it's ok, one lollipop one morning turns into every morning, you know what I mean...? Not trying to argue with you or say you're wrong, just looking from different perspectives is all. 👍
@@Akko81 The original comment mentioned that we need to PROTECT our children yet they used a bad example. They mentioned saying no to their child having sugar just because it was the morning and that sometimes you have to say no because it’s in their “best interest”….for protection? Against..sugar? Lol I just don’t see why they choose to make them unhappy, it should make the parents happy that the kid even asked, already proving that they are good parents and their kid wasn’t rude for asking first. Kids need to hear more yes when they live in a world FULL of no’s. It’s not a bad habit to like sugar or have sugar in the morning, obviously if you over eat it, but like I already stated it’s not like you are going to say yes EVERY time, but children need more yes in their life and it doesn’t have to be a negative especially if it’s coming from the children themselves, hence why I thought the two stories had little to no correlation.
The butchers who prescribe chemical castration to minors should be jailed for the rest of their remaining lifespan. These “transition” surgeries should be put in the same category as lobotomies, organ theft, and other forms of medical malpractice.
so, they are butchers if they do , they are transfobic and prosecuted if they dont , is not their fault , the only problem here is the absolute ignorance around the world about this gender madness and the woke shit

If everyone believes this treatment of you children is O.k.

Exactly, I see there's a bunch of silence from the lost ones when it comes to comments like this, because they know full well their thought process makes no sense at all.
They will absolutely find it insane that an entire political movement sprung up around denying families and their doctors the right to decide what care they want.
One of my medical school interview questions was "should a person who believes they should have one arm be allowed to undergo surgery to remove their arm?" Replace 'person' with 'child' and that's a straight no.
Being confronted with the ethics after med school over 50 years ago, and although I am my self, and far from in favor, it's not a question for Politicians. Start realizing the USA is 50 years behind on almost everything compared to the Netherland. I posted this in a comment, which you can easily find here,
Interesting. I have a question for you. My wife actually believes she should undergo surgery the remove one of her knees. Cause : she has a terrible knee problem. Multiple surgeries. A bit helpful, but pain is stronger and stronger as the time goes. She asked the surgeon to remove her knee and replace it by an artificial limb/joint, whatever is useful. Surgeon answer is : nope. Because her knee is a "living member" of her body and you don't remove something "living" from your body as far as you can use external tools and solutions to compensate the disability of the member, he says. He's a serious guy, we like him, strong reputation etc. We ask advices to ours doctor friends and doctor family, they all say the same. Basic of ethic is, "do not harm". Here, does the logic of "Replace 'person' with 'child' and that's a straight no." still work ? You will tell me there is so much to consider : risk/benefit ratio, age, etc. I agree. Let's put that apart. I wanna focus your answer on how the patient beliefs have to be taken for serious and legit. And how the doctor beliefs and ethics could harm the patient ? You can also put apart any woke debate like "is transgendering kids ok?". Bet we both agree that it is not ok. If curious : surgeon is now ok for artificial limb. Letting her know pros/cons, risk/benefit, success rate ratios to take her decision. He is ok because everything was tried to not go for such an important surgery for 5 years, and that is now the last solution. So for 5 years, she had suffered psychological and physical pain and disability, to come to a solution she was asking from the beginning. Not even speaking about me, the one who assisted and still assist her in her disability. Some hard quotes will stay in my mind forever "Look this guy with no arms, no legs, he cross the English Channel swimming on his own, why don't you try swimming a bit? "You said it, the guy had no arm no leg, so no pain. I can't do it because I still have my knee, pain is the problem".
@@MrSirPicsouyou don't remove working parts of the body because of delusions. Your question pertains to pain in the knee. A knew replacement is a last resort, not a first. But if there was actual evidence of injury to the point of doing a knee replacement, then it would be done. People with body dismorphia who remove working appendages are mentally ill.

Should the child grow to be an adult and change their mind, they should be able to sue the state, Dr, psychologist and everyone else involved in their gender reassignment. If you’re going to take control of the child from their parent to do the gender change, then you should also be taking the legal ramifications and consequences if your patient changes their mind when they become an adult who are old enough to actually analyze the outcome.
Lawsuits are already started in California by at least 2 detranstioners against Kaiser hospitals. Both women are left with permanent oozing wounds and pain.
You literally can't recieve any gender affirming care without parental consent until the age of 18, and prior to then the treatments you do recieve are entirely reversable - stop taking the meds and their effects cease to occur. Crazy how mislead you've been to think anything is happening without a parents consent.
This craziness NEEDS to stop and those responsible for allowing and performing the mutilations on any child should be held accountable including those who voted to legalize it.
I agree that the craziness needs to stop, but I completely disagree with you about what the craziness is. To me, it's crazy to deny someone healthcare simply because you don't understand or agree with it. It's none of your business. Gender affirming care has been proven, time and again, to be the best tool to prevent suicide in the trans community. If you're against gender affirming care, you are literally telling people that your ignorant opinions are more important to you than their life is. That's what's crazy.

That's the thing, necessary treatments should have extreme priority funding. If they want to get their voluntary treatment done, it should be on their dime.

I don't know who Mr Crenshaw is (I'm from the UK) but he speaks clearly and articulately, and I loved his thought experiment, which, as far as I can see, is accurate in terms of illustrating the point. Unfortunately, politics has permeated many spheres where politics should not be allowed to be. Much of science is now riddled with political agendas - this is not a good thing. The only thing we should be acting upon is clear evidence based on rigorous research and thorough analysis. When those with different opinions are being shut down, in an academic setting, then you know we are on a very slippery road indeed.
They don't have the studies they would like to review because throughout history up until this time Noone was crazy enough to allow this madness to take place.
Common complications following plastic surgery include infection, necrosis, wound separation, fluid collections or abscesses, and blood clots. Would messing with a child’s genitalia be a picnic? This is quite a sick social experiment.
Plastic surgery is also used to reconstruct faces and the such after horrific injuries such as burns. With the amount of people who get those kinds of injuries every year, theres no need to go after children as a social experiment as burn victims already exist for that. That's clearly not the cause here.

Wasn't there a girl who made herself blind, because she always felt like she was blind. She even appeared on a talkshow and one woman couldb't fathom what was happening.
She did not always feel like she was blind, because she didn't know what it was like to be blind. You can't just treat the testimony of a very mentally ill person as truth like that. You can't take someone at their word when they're claiming their natural, healthy body is wrong and inconsistent with the way they are meant to be. I understand what you meant, but this is an important distinction to make. If you accept the premise of her argument 'she has always felt like she was blind', the argument that perhaps doctors should blind her becomes a lot more reasonable. But the premise of her argument is not logically correct.
A 17 year old may strongly feel that they do not want to have children, and ask a doctor to sterilize them. An ethical doctor would not consider doing that.
No, because there are revesible alternatives that achieve the same effect. What if your 17 year old had made multiple attempts to cut off a foot and a few suicide attempts when that failed. Five years of hell and all the mental heath treatments available? Would you deny her surgery as without it she's likely to attempt suicide again?
I'm definitely pro lgbtq. If a grown ass adult identifies with a sexuality or gender it's frankly none of my business. But when it comes to children, there's a reason they can't consent to sex and tattoos. They're not allowed to use mind altering drugs like alcohol, tobacco and marijuana until they are considered adults. So why would permanent physiological changes be an exception? I tend to be liberal but I completely side with the right on this one. No one could convince me otherwise.
I have an alternative solution: to give legally the right to anyone that during chilhood has been given any surgical or hormonal treatment to transition gender, to sue the doctors and counsellors responsible for it, for all they and their families could have or their lives if they even so choose. I know it is atrocious, but the same atrocity is to make physiological changes on a child because a supossed "feeling"

Instead, they are coming to schools and teaching young children which in some cases they have even been forced. How can you support this?
It's definitely a reasonable comparison. "Body integrity identity disorder", in which people feel a desire to become amputees, is usually caused by knowing amputees as a kid. Knowing someone who is missing an eye might cause someone to wish they were too, and exposure to "trans" people increases trans identification.

If you're going to allow children to undergo forced hormone changes and surgery before they finish puberty, you might as well throw all child protection out the window, reduce the legal drinking and smoking age, and age of consent, to five.

Not smart enough to drive a car or buy a beer or cigarettes, but can man medical decisions to alter their entire life? The teachers need to get out of the childrens pants.
It's a fair question. The problem presented as a dilemma is a great way to teach someone about seeing from another perspective and learning about how something that could be so logical to a child actually would create unaccountable damage to society on the whole. ❤
I agree 100% but someone else in the comments made a great point that routine circumcision ("Male genital mutilation" you could call it) is also wrong and many of these arguments about bodily integrity of children can be applied to that.
I remember a documentary on tv, many years ago, of a man who felt he shouldn’t have 2 legs. A bit like the reverse of phantom pain after losing a leg when the mind is certain the leg is still there. He was certain his actual leg wasn’t there. No orthopaedic surgeon would help him, and he ended up with a psychiatrist. For a long time. It was about the incongruity between his mental image and his physical body and the effect that had on him. He couldn’t get on with life normally. Yes he had his amputation above the knee, eventually, and help to rehabilitate, because he had a mental condition that therapy couldn’t satisfy. But it was a weird one off and no one was happy about destroying a healthy body part. Weird enough to make a tv programme about. Compare that strange 1 in multi millions tale to now, when you only have to imagine …..
Actually, this has been researched. It was found that amputation led to the greatest improvement in mental health with those suffering from body integrity identity disorder. There isn't a conclusive cause, but evidence so far points to it being neurological/genetic similar to gender dysphoria.
What that doctor was saying about medical journals and other types of publications not accepting certain articles or research papers is absolutely true. There are a lot of studies that don't get published because the corporate overlords don't want it. To paraphrase an acquaintance of mine, "if you can quantify it, you can cure it." If you can actually figure out the cause of something, then you can get rid of the problem. If there's no studies or no evidence, they can continuously "do research" to find some convoluted and ineffectual cure to the problem instead of just doing what's logical. If your thing is sticking out towards the bottom of your torso, congratulations, you are a boy. If they're hanging off your chest, well holy crap, you're a girl. Your feelings don't mean shit. Except your body is one way and then work towards telling your brain this is how it is. Normal people look at reality every day and just say, "this is how it is. How do I make this work?" Stop taking fantastical sugar water from assholes and white coats. Listen to your brain, not to Tumblr.
My brain tells me that every major medical organization in the US supports gender-affirming care. I take medical advice from doctors, not from politicians.
Very true. There's so much dogma in science generally, and if you try to publish a paper that goes against that dogma, no matter how compelling your evidence, you will struggle to get it out there, at least in a reputable journal that people will take notice of. I hit this back in my former career, when I dared to try to publish a research paper that went only slightly against what one of the big names in my field said, and not only was my paper rejected, but I had a barrage of abuse from the peer reviewer (who was clearly pals with the big name). It was a shock to me, when my data was sound and I'd published plenty of papers before, so I knew I wasn't just incompetent, but none of my previous work had stepped on anyone's ego. Things have got much worse since then, and it's not just egos that researchers have to tread carefully around, but the sources of funding, such as big pharma, who will ensure that journals suppress anything that goes against their narrative. You only have to look at the botched and biased 'science' around covid to see that, and the trans debate is if anything, even more radical.... but every trans person becomes a lifelong cash cow for pharma, so follow the money.

@@dexine4723 there was also that study where they circumcised the boy inside of an MRI and saw the change in his brain chemicals. It ended up becoming a permanent change on top of it. When those doctors went to publish the paper, they were basically threatened that they would be discredited and disbarred. That was the first instance I ever heard of that, and it made me realize precisely what kind of control is being laid on this entire world. It infuriates me to no end.
@@ImpetuouslyInsanethat's very interesting. I do wonder though, given that circumcision was involved, if the findings were seen as a threat on religious grounds🤔 Your comment is on line with my own reply to @Zere616.

@@lazysloth9060 either a joke, delusional, bad faith, or just plain ignorant. the modern pushback (in the u.s.) against male circumcision is in full g.d. swing. but besides that, amongst non-jews the move is patently a cosmetic one, not ideological. so the comparison immediately breaks down upon its most salient feature. no one is going to the matt ideologically about foreskin (besides perhaps jews - god handed it down as a requirement doncha know in his infinite wisdom!) removal. the "gentiles" just prefer it cosmetically; they aren't committed to it by any stretch of the imagination as a principle. so - just to be clear, circumcision is barbarism and the modern pushback is real. you haven't heard a peep because you prefer not to, not because it isn't there. the ideologues who have it in their playbook (religious adherents who think daddy god told them to do it) deserve scorn (i freely give it - but again - you don't hear a peep - nice!) to the morons who proceed with the practice by dint of cosmetic preference - sheep. is the practice by any stretch of the imagination as harmful or pernicious as the complete excision of a entire sexual organs (not the "tip" hur dur, also an exaggeration - the tip remains right where it is, extra skin however comes off - omfg - call the police!)? no, of course it is not. i give your attempt at parity here about 2 out of 10 stars.

@@vision-dz6cm 1. that's not how it works. 2. I'm still dealing with the issues associated with the circumcision. 3. Basic hygiene of your body yields the same results. 4. There is literally no need for male/female circumcision's to exist. period.
I'm glad I went through my "I want to be a doggy" phase long before this. I spent week or two crawling around on all fours, trying to lap water and eat from a bowl. I was 5. Thank God my parents didn't actually put kibble in my bowl. I also went through an "I want to be a dinosaur" phase, but they never made me hunt my own dinner down. They told me play time was over, get your ass up to the table and eat your dinner. Highly effective approach, too....
I was literally just thinking this. As a young child, I wanted to be A CAT and I wanted to marry my cat because he was my best friend at the time. Your comment nailed it.
I have two examples of what that woman was talking about. Someone close to me personally was convinced by her school, and the fad that was raging through her friends group, convinced her that she was Trans. It took her family telling her to knock off her aggressive stance on woke ideologies (basically she was harassing everyone and verbally attacking them for perceived wrongs and injustices) before she finally realized that she not only wasn't Trans, but that she was being used as a mouth-piece to tear her family apart. Mind you, this person was the most stereotypical example of what girls are like and about that I have ever known, and I've known her all her life. Another example is a good friend of mine. He was badgered by his state appointed therapist, who constantly tried, insisting vehemently, to convince my friend that he was Trans. He left that therapist, thankfully. This friend of mine, in all our interactions, has never shown the slightest indication that he might be Trans or even feminine. This same friend and his girlfriend were accosted on the street of their home town by some little woke-y insisting that both of them were Trans. My friend has long hair and his girlfriend is a tom-boy. They basically told the little soy-boy in no polite terms to mind his own business, and he threw a hissy fit while storming off. I've got a few other examples of this insanity, but I'll get to my point. Children should not be allowed to make this kind of decision before they're of a mature enough age (18+ imo) and I damn sure am not okay with my tax money going towards someone else's non-emergency surgery or "affirming care".

Some of the parents will be "persued" by their children VERY aggressively, and it ain't gonna be cheap nor pretty for them. But as good parents who want only the best for their kids they'll have to go along with whatever the kids choose to do TO their parents. "Let's see now, you don't really NEED this part, nor this one...There; now you're perfect."
The insurance company also has a hand in it since they are willing to approve this without questions while having other surgery would require extensive procedure to go through.

Lot of dudes just claim that "oh i'd do anything for the kids" meanwhile as a 6 year old i was restrained by other adults and forced into a box, also the daily forced medication consumption. People claim there all this negativity going on, all this blah blah blah but i was abused by the public school system my entire childhood.
We have to stop this madness. Doctors oath first to do no harm.
the whole country needs to follow florida and other states that will fire doctors if they decide to do this type of surgery on a child. the doctors will loose their medical license also.
Unfortunately the hospital that employs the doctor, in order to receive federal grants, enforce the doctor to do harm. Time for doctors to stand up for the truth.
The progressive left try to skirt around "do no harm" by arguing not aiding a transition will cause the person to kill themselves so, in order to "do no harm' they must affirm the transition.
Isn't it crazy how thousands of doctors who follow and uphold this oath on every other matter turn a blind eye on this one matter? It definitely isn't that they believe and show evidence that no harm is being done. How far has this country fallen smh

The fact that a parent would take their 11 yearolds idea that he wanted to be a she is nuts. What if your 11 yearold said he wanted to be an alcoholic because he would rather hang out at the bar and play pool or pinball rather go to school, because it looks like the bar is more fun. Any parent that buys into ANY of this should not have custody of children.
🎯💯
Wow, isn't it crazy how a child wanting to present differently to others... is not at all in any way comparable to economic life decisions?
Like, what if your child decided to assassinate the president? Isn't that the same thing as them saying they like wearing purple shirts?
For preadolescents transition is entirely social, and for adolescents the first line of medical care is 100% temporary puberty delaying treatment that has no long term effects. Hormone therapy isn't an option until their mid teens, by which point the chances that they will "desist" are close to zero. Reconstructive genital surgery is not an option until their late teens/early 20's at the youngest. And transition-related medical care is recognized as medically necessary, frequently life saving medical care by every major medical authority.
Withholding medical care from an adolescent who needs it is not a goddamn neutral option. Transition is absolutely necessary to keep many trans kids alive. Without transition a hell of a lot of them commit suicide. When able to transition rates of suicide attempts drop to the national average.
Ignorance isnt a life sentence

It’s because the parents are doing what their children want instead of the children being PROTECTED by their parents.
When my boys were little, we were in a grocery store and they wanted candy (at 9:00 am).
I said, “No”
An elderly man turned to me and said, “Do you know I rarely hear mothers say ‘no’ to their children! It’s refreshing to know some mothers still do.”
When you are raising children, compliments are rare, but l knew “No” was in their best interest that day.
A lollipop at 9am? The kid would have been ok either way but probably happier if they got the lollipop. You’re not protecting your child from anything, you just didn’t want them to have sugar at 9am. 🤦♀️
It's habbit forming, agreeing to giving a kid sugar in the morning isn't great, will it kill them now, no, will it potentially form bad habbits, maybe. Good parenting as far as I can see.
@@Akko81 You can be a good parent and protect your kids when they actually NEED to be protected, one lollipop for THAT MORNING would have done nothing other than make the kid happy, it’s not like your going to let them eat pounds of sugar EVERY morning and every day…..I was just saying for that one morning you saying no to your kid just because you didn’t want them to have sugar is far from PROTECTING them. 👍
@Show Me Something Not saying you're wrong, one lollipop isn't the end of the world, but saying yes to kids to make them happy isn't alway the best way. Kids will push and push parents, whereby saying yes shuts them up, or, as you said, makes them happy. The easy ways aren't always the best. To my original point, setting a president to kids on bad habits makes them think it's ok, one lollipop one morning turns into every morning, you know what I mean...? Not trying to argue with you or say you're wrong, just looking from different perspectives is all. 👍
@@Akko81 The original comment mentioned that we need to PROTECT our children yet they used a bad example. They mentioned saying no to their child having sugar just because it was the morning and that sometimes you have to say no because it’s in their “best interest”….for protection? Against..sugar? Lol I just don’t see why they choose to make them unhappy, it should make the parents happy that the kid even asked, already proving that they are good parents and their kid wasn’t rude for asking first. Kids need to hear more yes when they live in a world FULL of no’s. It’s not a bad habit to like sugar or have sugar in the morning, obviously if you over eat it, but like I already stated it’s not like you are going to say yes EVERY time, but children need more yes in their life and it doesn’t have to be a negative especially if it’s coming from the children themselves, hence why I thought the two stories had little to no correlation.
The butchers who prescribe chemical castration to minors should be jailed for the rest of their remaining lifespan. These “transition” surgeries should be put in the same category as lobotomies, organ theft, and other forms of medical malpractice.

One of my medical school interview questions was "should a person who believes they should have one arm be allowed to undergo surgery to remove their arm?"
Replace 'person' with 'child' and that's a straight no.
Being confronted with the ethics after med school over 50 years ago, and although I am my self, and far from in favor, it's not a question for Politicians. Start realizing the USA is 50 years behind on almost everything compared to the Netherland. I posted this in a comment, which you can easily find here,
Interesting. I have a question for you. My wife actually believes she should undergo surgery the remove one of her knees. Cause : she has a terrible knee problem. Multiple surgeries. A bit helpful, but pain is stronger and stronger as the time goes. She asked the surgeon to remove her knee and replace it by an artificial limb/joint, whatever is useful. Surgeon answer is : nope. Because her knee is a "living member" of her body and you don't remove something "living" from your body as far as you can use external tools and solutions to compensate the disability of the member, he says. He's a serious guy, we like him, strong reputation etc. We ask advices to ours doctor friends and doctor family, they all say the same. Basic of ethic is, "do not harm".
Here, does the logic of "Replace 'person' with 'child' and that's a straight no." still work ?
You will tell me there is so much to consider : risk/benefit ratio, age, etc. I agree. Let's put that apart.
I wanna focus your answer on how the patient beliefs have to be taken for serious and legit. And how the doctor beliefs and ethics could harm the patient ?
You can also put apart any woke debate like "is transgendering kids ok?". Bet we both agree that it is not ok.
If curious : surgeon is now ok for artificial limb. Letting her know pros/cons, risk/benefit, success rate ratios to take her decision. He is ok because everything was tried to not go for such an important surgery for 5 years, and that is now the last solution. So for 5 years, she had suffered psychological and physical pain and disability, to come to a solution she was asking from the beginning. Not even speaking about me, the one who assisted and still assist her in her disability. Some hard quotes will stay in my mind forever "Look this guy with no arms, no legs, he cross the English Channel swimming on his own, why don't you try swimming a bit? "You said it, the guy had no arm no leg, so no pain. I can't do it because I still have my knee, pain is the problem".

Children's brains are dumb when it comes to risk-reward. (as a 25 year-old man, I'm only just becoming less dumb).
Should the child grow to be an adult and change their mind, they should be able to sue the state, Dr, psychologist and everyone else involved in their gender reassignment.
If you’re going to take control of the child from their parent to do the gender change, then you should also be taking the legal ramifications and consequences if your patient changes their mind when they become an adult who are old enough to actually analyze the outcome.
Lawsuits are already started in California by at least 2 detranstioners against Kaiser hospitals. Both women are left with permanent oozing wounds and pain.
Doubt they'll live that long.
Yep, ten or fifteen years from now it'll be a complete legal disaster.
You literally can't recieve any gender affirming care without parental consent until the age of 18, and prior to then the treatments you do recieve are entirely reversable - stop taking the meds and their effects cease to occur.

ok.
so, just to be clear form what YOU said: trans kids are a real thing,they are an legitimate issue.
during the fight for equality, the trans issue has gotten huge publicity and now for SOME trans advocates, it's a profit thing.
you are implicitly conceding that trans kids are real and we need to deal w them as trans, but that we need to be on the watch for folks trying to make a profit off of the issue.
ok, i'm fine w that argument.
...gosh, if only there were some way to take the profit margin out of the whole thing so we can deal with the trans kids who need actual help.
like, idk, socializing medicine.

we can use them as a baseline to see how much profiteering has influenced the trans movement in the US.

Unfortunately, politics has permeated many spheres where politics should not be allowed to be. Much of science is now riddled with political agendas - this is not a good thing. The only thing we should be acting upon is clear evidence based on rigorous research and thorough analysis. When those with different opinions are being shut down, in an academic setting, then you know we are on a very slippery road indeed.

Common complications following plastic surgery include infection, necrosis, wound separation, fluid collections or abscesses, and blood clots. Would messing with a child’s genitalia be a picnic? This is quite a sick social experiment.
Plastic surgery is also used to reconstruct faces and the such after horrific injuries such as burns. With the amount of people who get those kinds of injuries every year, theres no need to go after children as a social experiment as burn victims already exist for that.

Wasn't there a girl who made herself blind, because she always felt like she was blind. She even appeared on a talkshow and one woman couldb't fathom what was happening.
Yes there was. I think she was in Dr. Phil
She did not always feel like she was blind, because she didn't know what it was like to be blind. You can't just treat the testimony of a very mentally ill person as truth like that. You can't take someone at their word when they're claiming their natural, healthy body is wrong and inconsistent with the way they are meant to be.
I understand what you meant, but this is an important distinction to make. If you accept the premise of her argument 'she has always felt like she was blind', the argument that perhaps doctors should blind her becomes a lot more reasonable. But the premise of her argument is not logically correct.

Exactly.
A 17 year old may strongly feel that they do not want to have children, and ask a doctor to sterilize them. An ethical doctor would not consider doing that.
No, because there are revesible alternatives that achieve the same effect. What if your 17 year old had made multiple attempts to cut off a foot and a few suicide attempts when that failed. Five years of hell and all the mental heath treatments available? Would you deny her surgery as without it she's likely to attempt suicide again?

I'm definitely pro lgbtq. If a grown ass adult identifies with a sexuality or gender it's frankly none of my business. But when it comes to children, there's a reason they can't consent to sex and tattoos. They're not allowed to use mind altering drugs like alcohol, tobacco and marijuana until they are considered adults. So why would permanent physiological changes be an exception? I tend to be liberal but I completely side with the right on this one. No one could convince me otherwise.
I have an alternative solution: to give legally the right to anyone that during chilhood has been given any surgical or hormonal treatment to transition gender, to sue the doctors and counsellors responsible for it, for all they and their families could have or their lives if they even so choose. I know it is atrocious, but the same atrocity is to make physiological changes on a child because a supossed "feeling"

What you're saying makes sense, don't get me wrong, but doctors are being forced by aggressive weirdos obsessed with pushing their identity which would be respected as a private matter if they treated it as a private matter. Instead, they are coming to schools and teaching young children which in some cases they have even been forced. How can you support this?
Make gender reassignment illegal and you won't need lawsuits after you destroy their life
It's definitely a reasonable comparison. "Body integrity identity disorder", in which people feel a desire to become amputees, is usually caused by knowing amputees as a kid. Knowing someone who is missing an eye might cause someone to wish they were too, and exposure to "trans" people increases trans identification.
That is basically how advertising works and why transism is advertised so much. They want more eedeeots around. Wanting to have tons of money, religions or fame, is same sheet, anyway.
@@constantinosschinas4503 Maybe - but there are also a lot of trans people who have never been exposed to other trans people before they became trans themselves.
@@christianealshut1123 In any case, being trans is close to the lowest a person can get. Not accepting who you are, and live in a constant, degrading fantasy. And they try to sell the vice versa.

They will use trans people to raise the fasiscm and then, when trans are useless for them, they will make them... illegal.
The lawsuits are already beginning. That should slow this crap substantially.
If you're going to allow children to undergo forced hormone changes and surgery before they finish puberty, you might as well throw all child protection out the window, reduce the legal drinking and smoking age, and age of consent, to five.

The problem presented as a dilemma is a great way to teach someone about seeing from another perspective and learning about how something that could be so logical to a child actually would create unaccountable damage to society on the whole. ❤

What a wonderful doctor! A female doctor standing up to the mob
I remember a documentary on tv, many years ago, of a man who felt he shouldn’t have 2 legs. A bit like the reverse of phantom pain after losing a leg when the mind is certain the leg is still there. He was certain his actual leg wasn’t there.
No orthopaedic surgeon would help him, and he ended up with a psychiatrist. For a long time. It was about the incongruity between his mental image and his physical body and the effect that had on him. He couldn’t get on with life normally.
Yes he had his amputation above the knee, eventually, and help to rehabilitate, because he had a mental condition that therapy couldn’t satisfy. But it was a weird one off and no one was happy about destroying a healthy body part. Weird enough to make a tv programme about.
Compare that strange 1 in multi millions tale to now, when you only have to imagine …..
Actually, this has been researched. It was found that amputation led to the greatest improvement in mental health with those suffering from body integrity identity disorder. There isn't a conclusive cause, but evidence so far points to it being neurological/genetic similar to gender dysphoria.
So basically he had a mental illness that caused him to have delusions.

What that doctor was saying about medical journals and other types of publications not accepting certain articles or research papers is absolutely true. There are a lot of studies that don't get published because the corporate overlords don't want it.
To paraphrase an acquaintance of mine, "if you can quantify it, you can cure it." If you can actually figure out the cause of something, then you can get rid of the problem. If there's no studies or no evidence, they can continuously "do research" to find some convoluted and ineffectual cure to the problem instead of just doing what's logical. If your thing is sticking out towards the bottom of your torso, congratulations, you are a boy. If they're hanging off your chest, well holy crap, you're a girl. Your feelings don't mean shit. Except your body is one way and then work towards telling your brain this is how it is. Normal people look at reality every day and just say, "this is how it is. How do I make this work?"
Stop taking fantastical sugar water from assholes and white coats. Listen to your brain, not to Tumblr.
My brain tells me that every major medical organization in the US supports gender-affirming care. I take medical advice from doctors, not from politicians.
Very true. There's so much dogma in science generally, and if you try to publish a paper that goes against that dogma, no matter how compelling your evidence, you will struggle to get it out there, at least in a reputable journal that people will take notice of. I hit this back in my former career, when I dared to try to publish a research paper that went only slightly against what one of the big names in my field said, and not only was my paper rejected, but I had a barrage of abuse from the peer reviewer (who was clearly pals with the big name). It was a shock to me, when my data was sound and I'd published plenty of papers before, so I knew I wasn't just incompetent, but none of my previous work had stepped on anyone's ego. Things have got much worse since then, and it's not just egos that researchers have to tread carefully around, but the sources of funding, such as big pharma, who will ensure that journals suppress anything that goes against their narrative. You only have to look at the botched and biased 'science' around covid to see that, and the trans debate is if anything, even more radical.... but every trans person becomes a lifelong cash cow for pharma, so follow the money.

Gender dysphoria (mental illness) moment
I have two examples of what that woman was talking about. Someone close to me personally was convinced by her school, and the fad that was raging through her friends group, convinced her that she was Trans. It took her family telling her to knock off her aggressive stance on woke ideologies (basically she was harassing everyone and verbally attacking them for perceived wrongs and injustices) before she finally realized that she not only wasn't Trans, but that she was being used as a mouth-piece to tear her family apart.
Mind you, this person was the most stereotypical example of what girls are like and about that I have ever known, and I've known her all her life.
Another example is a good friend of mine. He was badgered by his state appointed therapist, who constantly tried, insisting vehemently, to convince my friend that he was Trans. He left that therapist, thankfully. This friend of mine, in all our interactions, has never shown the slightest indication that he might be Trans or even feminine.
This same friend and his girlfriend were accosted on the street of their home town by some little woke-y insisting that both of them were Trans. My friend has long hair and his girlfriend is a tom-boy. They basically told the little soy-boy in no polite terms to mind his own business, and he threw a hissy fit while storming off.
I've got a few other examples of this insanity, but I'll get to my point. Children should not be allowed to make this kind of decision before they're of a mature enough age (18+ imo) and I damn sure am not okay with my tax money going towards someone else's non-emergency surgery or "affirming care".
