NIH study recruiting 18-year-olds to learn 'unknown' side effects of testicle removal for gender dysphoria
Fox News ^ | April 19, 2023 | Hannah Grossman

The National Institutes of Health is funding a study via a women's health grant that is recruiting people as young as 18 to uncover what it acknowledges as the "unknown" cardiovascular effects of surgically removing testicles on patients diagnosed with gender dysphoria. 

The observational study is looking for 30 gender diverse biological male participants who are interested in the orchiectomy procedure, which has also been referred to as "surgical castration" in medical literature. 

The chief investigator is Dr. Sean Iwamoto, an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. 

However, it was unclear if Dr. Iwamoto had established predictions of what the outcomes of his research would show before the evidence presented itself. 

The study's preliminary abstract acknowledges the lack of research on the cardiovascular side effects of the orchiectomy procedure. 

"Trans women appear to be at greater risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and blood clots compared to non-trans adults. The effect of orchiectomy on CVD risk among trans women is unknown, but orchiectomy may change blood vessel function and metabolic health," the study said. 

Dr. Iwamototo's biography page on the medical school's website appeared to endorse a particular conclusion, calling the treatments "life-saving," which provide "maximal physical… benefits." 

Dr. Iwamoto said, "Better understanding acute and chronic effects of… gender-affirming surgery… will increase our confidence that these life-saving treatments provide maximal physical and mental health benefits and minimal risks, particularly related to cardiovascular disease."

Fox News Digital reached out to the NIH and the medical school, asking whether they believed Dr. Iwamoto displayed a clear bias on his biography page by appearing to state a conclusion of what his research will show in the early recruiting phase but did not immediately receive a response.

“Democracy” and “our values” in a “rules-based order.”

People in this field should start by experimenting on themselves. But they haven’t got the balls.

Any 18 year old male who wants to be castrated does not need to be studied for side effects; his very apparent unhinged condition is only exceeded be the ghouls who masquerade as so-called experts who theoretically want to study them.

Let’s cut the balls off of ALL DEMOCRATS so we can study the results. We already know about ball-less GOP.

How long before the remove the voluntary aspect of it? If it isn’t a random sample of 30 men, what good is the test? From animals, when you do this the animals get heavier, faster. Which brings up another thought, why not just do testing on animals? Women have 1,000’s of cats castorated every day.

The physicians who are performing these trans gender mutilations are no different than Josef Mengele the Nazi concentration camp “doctor”. At their core, like him, they are sadists.

It doesn’t like women very much either, hence men allowed in women’s restrooms/locker rooms and women discarded from their own sports divisions.

Many years ago a convicted rapist was trying to get castrated to avoid prison. The doctors wouldn’t do it as they said it would be unethical even if he consented. I wonder what has changed?

This is a very eunuch situation- but those doing the science should do so on themselves “for the science”-

But of course they won’t, they are cowards

One excellent ancient Chinese idea was requiring the procedure for employment as a civil servant. (Other excellent ancient Chinese ideas were gunpowder and alcohol.)
