Study: 'Gender-affirming Care' for Children Has No Medical Benefits

Earlier this year, Robert “Rachel” Levine, Joe Biden’s Assistant Secretary of Health, claimed without evidence that there is consensus in the medical community that so-called “gender-affirming care” is good for kids.

“There is no argument among medical professionals — pediatricians, pediatric endocrinologists, adolescent medicine physicians, adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, etc. — about the value and the importance of gender-affirming care,” he claimed.

But a new study has found that Levine’s claim is not supported by data. In fact, there is no medical science to support his claim whatsoever.

We’re told gender is fluid but we’re also supposed to affirm gender identity at any one particular moment in time? That’s all you need to know that there is nothing scientific about this.

The Dr. Mengeles that castrate boys and chop the breasts off girls definitely get financial benefit, as does Big Pharma.

“Gender affirming” = means the opposite. Very Orwellian.

Defense of Marriage = destroying marriage.

Anti-Inflation Act increases inflation.

When I was 6, I wanted to be a pirate, but my Mom was kind enough to NOT schedule surgery to remove one eye, one hand, and one leg.

Yet these sadistic freaks believe that they hold the high moral ground.

As a kid, my siblings and I played blind tag in our ‘second home’: a 40’ maple on our farm. We kept our grip and footing faithfully.

Then at age 11 I wanted to be Tarzan, jumping from tree limb to tree limb. I fell and broke my left femur. That really hoyt!

Apparently Orwell’s 1984 was written about Demonicrats.

“ Yet these sadistic freaks believe that they hold the high moral ground.”
