The fashion for transgenderism has brought with it a new euphemism: “gender-affirming care,” which means surgical and pharmacological interventions designed to make the body look and feel more like that of the opposite sex. Gender-affirming care for children involves the use of “puberty blockers”: one of five powerful synthetic drugs that block the natural production of sex hormones.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved those medications to treat prostate cancer, endometriosis, certain types of infertility and a rare childhood disease caused by a genetic mutation. But it has never approved them for gender dysphoria, the clinical term for the belief that one’s body is the wrong sex.

Thus the drugs, led by AbbVie’s Lupron, are prescribed to minors “off label.” (They are also used off-label for chemical castration of repeat sex offenders.) Off-label dispensing is legal; some half of all prescriptions in the U.S. are for off-label uses. But off-label use circumvents the FDA’s authority to examine drug safety and efficacy, especially when the patients are children. Some U.S. states have eliminated the need for parental consent for teens as young as 15 to start puberty blockers.

Chemical castration and spaying is what we are talking about here, plain and simple. And the Left calls this “gender affirming care”. I call it failing to provide mental health treatment for gender dysphoria while performing Dr. Mengele level “treatment” experiments.

It is flat out evil.

And this proves that the FDA is criminally engaged in malpractice and outright evil.

Why does the Right use the utterly UNCONSTITUTIONAL FDA as a legitimate source for anything much less medical expertise.

The FDA is not only patently illegal, but its sad history is one of doing more harm than good, which is true of the entire 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the feds which is the issue in this whole stupid Faggot Firestorm.

Hence my refrain...

The GREATEST threat to our life, liberty, well being, and free pursuits is the $3+ Trillion, 80%+ Unconstitutional Portion of our Federal Government which has now become a Third-World Totalitarian Regime.

Either we dismantle it or it will dismantle us and our Free Constitutional Republic.

FDA is not a police force or legislative body nor is meant to tell doctors how to practice medicine.

This is a legislative issue and a professional issue.

Except in the case where ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were prescribed for Covid.

Except when it's a political disease, like covid.

Yes.

Although FDA did give emergency use authorization to hydroxychloroquine.

Before political operatives were able to take over.

Exactly; when will we start seeing the ads for the Sokolove law firm advertising multi-million dollar settlements against those who performed these butcheries?

gender dysphoria appears to be a political disease too.

Strange though that women still are having children even after transitioning to a man. Drugs must not be stopping fertility.

No one “transitions to a man”. It is inherently impossible. Those who claim to have done so still have XX chromosomes, not XY. They are women with gender dysphoria.
