Not too many years ago this type of treatment was considered, appropriately, as medical and psychological malpractice.
While I feel for Hannah, the victim of a mental illness that is not being properly treated, HE is not a GIRL.
We live in a sick world.
How long, O, Lord?
I’m waiting for boys to start showing up at the gynecologist office, demanding to get an IUD put in.
Fake news of the century.
Do they think that the diseases and cancers of the prostate are going to give a **** what everybody calls Jonah/Hannah?
The amount of drugs and chemicals which Jonah/Hannah is going to have to take to keep their fantasy active will also have an affect on them.
Reality will come back to bite their ass in so many ways.
Hannah has mental health issues. Her doctors ought to treat that
The American Academy of Pediatrics has published a paper that correctly describes indulging these obvious mental illnesses as child abuse.
The inability to accept ones biological reality is a serious mental illness and should be treated as such and not encouraged.
Long term damage is being done to these children.
‘Critics point to flawed studies that suggest that roughly 80 percent of prepubescent children ultimately change their minds about being transgender. Even if this were true, would it have been worth forcing Hannah to live as a boy, putting her at risk for depression and perhaps suicide?’
And if he changes his mind he certainly won’t be depressed or suicidal.
I just read a story of a transgendered woman who regretted taking hormone blockers because he failed to grow an adequate sexual organs and couldn’t use it to do a surgical change.
But the author’s hypothetical use of anecdotes to editorialize is noted.
How? Doing a Pap test, prescribing birth control pills, or what?
It was bad enough when psychologists were simply indulging these kids’ desire to dress in girls’ clothes and be called “she” instead of “he” (or vice versa with girls who claimed to be boys), but now that the medical profession is actually proscribing hormone and other medical treatments, its horrifying and obscene. This really will be looked back on in the same way that we currently look back on lobotomies and the wide use of shock therapy — future medical professionals will look back in horror.
The NAZIS are vindicated for the 1936 Olympics as what they did then is considered “normal” now.
What else did the Nazis do that will soon be considered “normal or progressive”? GOD HELP US ALL!
“Hannah is a 14-year-old girl,”
“She was also born a boy.”
Then logically Hannah is not a girl, but a boy.
No, Hannah is a future addict and suicide threat.
I consider this sexual abuse of children.
A 14 year old can not make his own decisions because of his emotional immaturity. His parents, for their own sick reasons have charted a course for him that will affect him his whole life. They should be arrested and placed on a sex offenders list.
There was a period of about 2 or 3 years when my cousin’s son wanted to wear wigs and jewelry and play with girls’ toys. He was 6 or 7 at the time and his parents (my cousin and her husband) had just gone through an ugly divorce. He eventually grew out of it. If my cousin had bought into this BS, the medical profession would have psychologically and physically maimed this kid with their treatments, perhaps permanently.
All they are doing is kicking the anxiety and depression down the road. As soon as the genderbender is out of the indoctrination zones and has to work for a living and try to find a stable love life, anxiety and depression will come roaring back ten times worse.
Psychiatry is the biggest form of witchcraft in America.
