WASHINGTON — Medical doctors and a mom of a trans-identifying child are urging the government to shut down medical operations that are harming children.
Their efforts to resist the medicalization of gender has led them to discover that government-funded research now allows wrong sex hormones such as testosterone to be given to girls as young as 8.
At a Thursday panel at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, Dr. Michael Laidlaw addressed the medical harms of hormonal treatments and surgical interventions being performed on young people who believe they are the opposite sex. Doctors administering these treatments are advocating these harmful practices on increasingly younger children, he explained.
Today, medical scenarios such as girls as young as 13 and 14 undergoing double mastectomies and 17-year-old boys with penises of 9-year-olds, developmentally speaking, because of chemical puberty blockers, are now showing up, Laidlaw, a Rocklin, California-based endocrinologist, explained in his remarks.
Under the nebulous concept of "gender identity," children as young as 8 are receiving injections for gender transition treatment, he explained. The phrase was defined in a recent court case as a person's "core internal sense" of their own gender and that it was the "primary factor" in determining their sex, not biology. This is false, the endocrinologist said.
No blood test, genetic testing, or brain imaging scans can find a "gender identity," Laidlaw said, adding "there is no objective test to diagnose this, yet we are giving very harmful therapies on the basis of no objective diagnosis."

Insanity
This is the equivalence of sterilization done by Josef Mengele under the Nazis.
These girls will NEVER be able to have children.
Exactly, this is Nuremberg Trials/Crimes Against Humanity stuff
Like Nazi doctors abusing children.
Why aren’t Republicans making an issue of this? Trump should be pounding his fist on the table over the transgenderization of our kids.
If there were any logic or medical necessity to give a child hormones, they would FIRST give the child the SAME hormone as the gender they were born with!!!!!
Testosterone is known to cause cancer in grown men and they’re giving it to little children who aren’t old enough or experienced enough to know who they are.
Who is REALLY behind this (other than the devil)?
As though there is an eight year old in the WORLD that actually knows what they want about anything!
(Could probably say the same thing about most 14 year olds, and a few adults I know.)
This is horrible. It’s child abuse.
Sickening!
Well, it will make the recipients more competitive in women’s sports. They’ll be able to compete with men transitioning to women on more equal hormonal ground.
ROFL.
Trump was always flip-floppy when it came to LGBT issues. Even since day 1 of his campaign he’s largely avoided the entire topic in his rallies and speeches.
Yes, he put in that transgender ban for the military. But that’s as far as he’s gone. Everything else he’s left up to the courts.
As for Republicans....an anti-transgender bill is NEVER going to get through the Democratic House. So it’s a waste of time.
Aztec virgin sacrifice for trendy liberal pieces of shit.
Looks like for the right there is no line the left can’t cross.
I used to think the crazies are in the minority but now it looks like there's a majority out there....
It’s time for operation millstone.
While conservatives were asleep at the wheel, the LGBT lobby (with the assistance of Big Pharma) was fast at work passing "conversion therapy" prohibitions. Tucked into many of these laws is wording that prohibits even parents from trying to discourage transgender identity in their minor children. Doctors' hands are often tied.
In an increasing number of places across the country, if your little child comes home from school and announces himself a "girl" and you tell him to knock it off, you're the one breaking the law.
It's long past time to challenge this nonsense and put an end to it. It's gone too far.
They are coming for the kids. Age 5-6 and up. If we lose this, nothing else matters.
Because Republicans, with a few exceptions, are focused on invading Venezuela, fighting Iran & sanctioning Russia. That’s what matters to them, not the destruction happening here and now.
