I’ll come out and say it: this is child abuse of the very worst kind.
An 8-year-old isn’t trusted to make crucial, life-altering decisions.
Should 8-year-olds be allowed to choose plastic surgery that changes their face for life? What about a large and permanent tattoo?
No. Because they don’t yet know what’s best for them. Because they don’t yet grasp long-term consequences. Because they’re freaking EIGHT.
So how then – is an eight year old mature enough to decide to blast themselves with life-altering hormones?
This is a MILLION times more impactful than some silly tattoo of a unicorn – and yet, it’s happening.
According to Daily Wire:
According to medical doctors and a parent of a gender non-conforming child speaking on a panel for the Heritage Foundation, their quest to stop dangerous transgender treatments on minors has exposed that “government-funded research now allows wrong sex hormones such as testosterone to be given to girls as young as 8,” reported The Christian Post on Tuesday.
Through FOIA requests, Dr. Michael Laidlaw, a California-based endocrinologist, and some of his colleagues “found that in 2017 they lowered the minimum age for cross-sex hormones from 13 to 8,” the report said.
I’m pretty sure I wanted to be a rock star/veterinarian when I was 8. I thought the Spice Girls were the pinnacle of good music. These are children – their identities are young and malleable. To allow a child of this age to make such a devastatingly important decision is absolutely reckless. This is why children need parents.
“Imagine giving 8-year-old girls testosterone,” Laidlaw offered. ”They are in 3rd or 4th grade. This is unbelievable. But this is going on.”
This truly blows my mind. These children are legitimately falling victim to a narrative.
The panel discussion is long, but incredibly interesting:
During the panel discussion, the endocrinologist detailed the dangers of medically treating children who are confused about their gender and showcased video clips of doctors Ilana Sherer and Johanna Olson-Kennedy, both of whom medically treat “transgender” children. The Christian Post reported:
Sherer explained that puberty blockers are given to children at age 8 or 9, when they are in third and fourth grades. Olson-Kennedy is doing a 5-year study, for which she has received a $5.7 million National Institutes of Health research grant, and in one of her publications, it shows that mastectomies have been done on girls as young as 13. In the clip Laidlaw showed, Olson-Kennedy is seen on tape insisting adolescents have the capacity to make life-altering decisions, including to have their breasts removed.
So a 13-year-old getting a tattoo of her favorite Jonas brother is unthinkable.
But a 13-year-old choosing to have her breasts surgically removed is “progress.”
Gender-confused teen girls as young as 13, Laidlaw warned, are having their breasts removed via mastectomy procedures, and boys the age of 17 are developing penises the developmental age of a nine-year-old’s or losing sexual sensation all together due to hormone blockers. Laidlaw cited TLC’s “I am Jazz” star Jazz Jennings as such an example. Jazz, who is male-to-female transgender, has reportedly never experienced sexual sensations or orgasms because of puberty-blocking drugs, the endocrinologist said.
“Under the nebulous concept of ‘gender identity,’ children as young as 8 are receiving injections for gender transition treatment,” explained Laidlaw, according to The Christian Post report. “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,” he added, noting that this information is false.
“This whole thing is an experiment on children,” asserted Laidlaw. “We are ignoring the voices of desisters and people who have come out of this and recognize their sex. And the NIH is allowing unethical research to be conducted on adolescents, in my opinion.”
As I said… child abuse.
This is abuse subjugated on children to further a narrative, and it’s horrific.
Children may not know better. But adults should.
A woman who has a “trans-identifying child” named Elaine also spoke out about the dangers in medically treating “trans” children.
“It’s not acceptable for doctors to remove healthy limbs from children, so why is it acceptable for doctors to remove healthy reproductive organs from children?” the mother asked.
“The ‘experts’ tell parents that it is harmful to question their children’s beliefs, that they must support their children’s medical transition, which includes a lifetime dependence on hormones, and that if parents do not comply, their children will be at higher risk of suicide,” she said, adding, “These parents are being lied to as their children are harmed and their families are torn apart.”
Again… if my 8-year-old child told me it was her “belief” that it was crucially important for her to get a large and permanent tattoo, I’d tell her she gets to make that decision when she’s an adult.
This goes way, way beyond that.
It’s legitimately terrifying.
