Europe wakes up to the harms of 'transgender' affirmation as the US races toward the cliff

Norway, hardly the model of extreme, right-wing Christian fundamentalism, joined a growing number of European countries earlier this year in a move to restrict “gender-affirming care” for minors. The Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board ruled that guidance encouraging puberty blockers and sex-change procedures for gender-confused youths lacked medical evidence and should be restricted to research settings only.
“The knowledge base, especially research-based knowledge for gender-affirming treatment (hormonal and surgical), is deficient and the long-term effects are little known,” the UKOM, an independent government watchdog over Norway’s healthcare system, said in its report. “This is particularly true for the teenage population where the stability of their gender incongruence is also not known.”

ANOTHER STEP TO BECOMING THE PARENT PARTY

Scientists in Sweden, Finland, France, and the United Kingdom have raised similar concerns, with the U.K.’s National Health Service going so far as to shut down its Tavistock Gender Clinic, the largest pediatric center of its kind, last year due to concerns that its treatments were putting gender-confused patients “at considerable risk.” Keep in mind: These are the countries in which the affirmative approach to transgender issues, known as the Dutch model, began. And it has exploded in their faces as an irreversible, devastating mistake.

In Norway, the number of gender-confused teenagers who were recommended for medical treatment surpassed 500 referrals per year from 2018 to 2021. Just 10 years prior, from 2007 to 2010, the number of consultations ranged from 50 to 70. From 1975 to 1990, that number was four, the UKOM’s report found.


Alarmingly, as the number of “gender-affirming care” consultations has increased, so too have the rates of autism, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, and other mental conditions among gender-confused patients. “The National Treatment Service has previously reported that 75% of those who are referred have a mental illness, with depression and anxiety as the most common diagnoses,” UKOM said. “A significant accumulation of various conditions was also found. About one in five of the referred individuals with gender incongruence had autism spectrum conditions, ADHD/ADD or Tourette's. This corresponds to Swedish figures.”

In other words, transgender identity has spread like wildfire among young adults, especially those with preexisting mental conditions and those who do not fit the criteria for actual gender dysphoria. The UKOM doesn’t come right out and say it, but I will: Transgender ideology is a social contagion, and to treat it medically with irreversible, experimental drugs and surgeries is an affront to both science and common sense.

Unfortunately, as much of Europe begins to wake up to this reality, the United States is racing at full speed toward the cliff. Our medical and educational institutions unapologetically push gender ideology as fact and dismiss any concerns about their methods or research as bigotry and “transphobia.” They are exposing thousands of gender-confused children to permanent damage and fighting legislative efforts by conservative states to force them to stop.

The Left is so beholden to this ideology — this religion — that it is incapable of the kind of introspection that Norway’s public health officials have demonstrated, which means that when our own reckoning comes, the damage is going to be much more severe.

transgender assistance resource centers will be the new boon for liberals.

Each city will have one, all will be non-profit, all will be funded with tax dollars, all with be an unlimited expenses account and $1+M/year for all directors.

The types will continue to fuel the argument that young uns need as much counseling as possible at an early age, as right now they are being ignored.

Each year they will inflate the number of young uns asking for guidance, and thus get more tax dollars each year.

All things woke and liberal are simply a scam to take your tax dollars, but you guys knew this,,,

Very most excellent proof that the non-profits need to grow revenues.
These non-profits are never accountable for the their expenditures, I doubt any have ever been audited.

If I were a dood in his 20s, fresh out of college, I would start a non-profit, it is a blank check career.

They provide "gender affirming" with every abortion they're complicit in. The gender being Dead.

The same bunch that were apoplectic and crying about human rights violations a few years ago over the ancient Islamic practice of female castration of young girls are perfectly OK with some "woke" doctor breaking out the dick saw on a kid.

What hypocrisy..

It sucks that any government would even need to step in on this one. The Hippocratic oath is bullshit.
