The White House Is Pushing Puberty Blockers for ‘Trans Kids.’ It’s Relying on a Problematic Study.
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 04 05 2022 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 04/05/2022 1:06:57 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

The Biden administration promoted the use of puberty blockers for transgender children by citing a study from an LGBT group funded in part by a manufacturer of the controversial drugs used in gender reassignment.

In statements commemorating "Transgender Day of Visibility," the White House and Department of Health and Human Services cited research from the Trevor Project to support the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and sex-reassignment procedures in children seeking to change genders. Two of the Trevor Project’s donors, AbbVie and Allergan, make drugs and medical products used in the medical gender transition process. The charitable foundations of both companies gave at least $50,000 to the Trevor Project, according to a review of tax documents and the Trevor Project’s website. The Trevor Project did not disclose the funding in its research.

The Biden administration’s support for "gender-affirming" care, the progressive buzzword for gender transitions, comes as conservatives push to stop the prescription of hormones and puberty blockers to children. Texas governor Greg Abbott (R.) has called on the state’s child welfare service to open abuse investigations into parents who give puberty blockers and hormones to children. Texas attorney general Ken Paxton (R.) subpoenaed AbbVie and drug maker Endo Pharmaceuticals, claiming both companies improperly promote the use of puberty blockers in transgender children.

The Trevor Project study, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health and cited by numerous news outlets, claimed that teenagers with access to drugs and procedures to change genders were less likely to have depression and suicidal thoughts. The organization polled nearly 12,000 transgender and nonbinary youth, offering gift cards to some participants. In citing the study, HHS said "early" use of the drugs was "crucial" to the well-being of transgender children.

Good question. Puberty blockers, hormone treatments for children?????

I don’t understand all this LGBT etc stuff. But, it seems to me, body changing treatments should be restricted to consenting adults only. If we are going to do any of that at all.

A lot of these “trans” kids seem to have enabling mothers. Which begs questions about what is the opinion of the fathers, or do these kids even have fathers?

Yes I know everyone has a biological father, but we have normalized illegitimacy in our culture, so it’s not an off the wall question to ask if a father is involved in a child’s life.

These are simply medical atrocities. Not that much different than the infamous Nazi and Japanese human experiments. It’s amazing how easy it is to get medical doctors to carry out the most evil experiments.

Just how many “transgender kids” are there in this country? If there are enough to be creating laws to dope them up then there is something seriously wrong with the entire moral fiber of this nation and we need to find out what in the hell is going on.

All they are doing by using these drugs is postponing suicide for a few years. What would really help these kids is to stop screwing with their brains and their bodies while they are still forming. This is child abuse.

They are doing their best to confuse our children and grandchildren. They ARE grooming them. They DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE KIDS!! They never have!

It’s a Nazi torture doctor level crime against humanity, and everyone involved should be prosecuted as such. And executed if convicted.

This was put forth earlier as a possible preventative to this nonsense (not my idea, IOW).

Pass a law that allows individuals who have either “transitioned” or were injured when “transitioning” but changed their minds to sue teachers, doctors, psychologists, etc. who convinced them, as minors, to submit to these procedures.

Just get one Republican governor to sign something like this into law and watch the liberals’ heads explode.

Not many, but their numbers are increasing due to the attention being paid to them in the news and social media. Unless you are around them you will not believe how glued to their phones even young teenagers are. What those phones are exposing to them and passing off as ‘normal’ is frightening.

As strange as this article may sound, I think Mike Adams may be on to something as I also believe that this is what it may take to shake up mankind and maybe, just maybe get it back on the right track.

The death and rebirth of human civilization is the narrow path to awakening (and most likely the only one)

By: Mike Adams

Unless there is cosmic intervention — which is always a possibility — it is now inescapable that anti-human globalists are going to escalate conflict into World War III and use that conflict to collapse human civilization on planet Earth. This would, of course, lead to the near-extermination of the human race and a planetary-scale genocide event. (Cosmic-level ethnic cleansing.)

Over the next several years — unless they are stopped — they will drive the global population of humans down toward one billion remaining survivors. This will be achieved through a combination of vaccine genocide, nuclear war, mass starvation, biosphere collapse, 5G weaponization, weather weapons, financial collapse, cyber attacks and of course ongoing psychological trauma from the globalist-run corporate media. After several years of such attacks, humanity will face the very real possibility of planetary-scale extinction.

It is in that moment of facing imminent and permanent death that humanity will be offered a choice: Choose LIFE or choose DEATH.

It is critical that we all survive to that moment so that we can be among the human survivors who choose life, God, abundance and freedom.

It is being turned into an ungodly hellhole, a fitting recipient of the wrath and fury of Almighty God Who absolutely hates those who corrupt and harm children if they do not repent.

Sin angers Him on general principle but the sin of corrupting children is especially hateful to Him and is expressly singled out for an exceptionally severe judgment.

Prov. 6; Matt. 18:6 and Luke 17:2

Exactly.

Read the transcripts of the Nuremberg trials; it consists of 15 volumes; the first volume is called “The doctor trials”; it is so graphic it is difficult to read.

Any decent college library should have them.

The nation has localities that are becoming mutilation centers, indistinguishable from the “female circumcisions” that is supposed to inhibit sexual desires in young girls, before they reach the age of puberty.

A most unnatural act committed upon children below the age of consent. Is it nature, “They were just born this way?” or is it a perverted form of nurture, “They are just pieces of plastic that may be formed anyway we want?”

The child simply doesn’t KNOW, and the decisions are being made FOR them, by persons who have highly dubious motives.

Oh, it’s “relying on a problematic study”? Well then, more studies must be needed!

NO NO NO NO NO.

NO MORE “STUDIES”. Speak the truth.

Wrong.

They should be forbidden.
