"A major medical journal Ugeskrift for Læger, the Journal of the Danish Medical Association, confirmed that there has been a marked shift in the country’s approach to caring for youth with gender dysphoria. Most youth referred to the centralized gender clinic no longer get a prescription for puberty blockers, hormones or surgery—instead they receive therapeutic counseling and support." https://segm.org/Denmark-sharply-restricts-youth-gender-transitions The US is becoming a real outlier with its gender affirmimg care voodoo. Gender dysphoria is a mental health issue
Democrats are not only hell bent on driving us down this road but when everyone else in front of us start to swerve off the road they’re still too stupid to think there’s something wrong up ahead.
I agree with this Hopefully the US moves to such a system where these young people can receive taxpayer provided support and therapy for their condition. Surgical procedures should be a very last resort. Don’t you agree?
Why by default does the taxpayer have to pay for it? And what kind of therapy should it include puberty blockers or should we limit those if allow at all like other countries seem to be doing?
Maybe this has something to do with it UK Study Finds Puberty Blockers Exacerbated Mental Anguish For Trans-Identified Teens Up to a third of trans-identified teens put on puberty blockers suffered a significant decline in mental health, according to new analysis of a survey from the United Kingdom. In August, researchers published an updated review of data from a 2021 study in the U.K. on medRxiv, a preprint service for medical research. The original study conducted by the U.K. National Health Service (NHS) examined 44 children aged 12 to 15 over three years who were prescribed puberty-blocking drugs to treat gender dysphoria. Participants took triptorelin, a prostate cancer medicine used to inhibit the synthesis of estrogen in women and testosterone in men. According to researchers at the University of Essex, the mental health of between 20 and 34 percent of participants significantly deteriorated while on the puberty-inhibiting drug. Just between 9 and 20 percent reported a reliable improvement. Between 56 and 68 percent witnessed no change in distress. In other words, less than a fifth of those prescribed puberty-blocking drugs, if that, experienced emotional improvement after taking triptorelin. The findings contradict broad claims that such medical interventions are necessary to save gender-confused children from the perils of suicidal ideation. While the updated analysis from the University of Essex has yet to be peer-reviewed, another long-term study from Sweden found those who underwent transgender surgery were 19 times more likely to die by suicide than the general public... https://thefederalist.com/2023/09/2...ed-mental-anguish-for-trans-identified-teens/ And not only is the current administration along with it's fellow Dems and leftist pushing these drugs and surgeries but support doing so leaving the parents out of the equation some judges even threatening parents it they try to intervene on behalf of the child.
Because if only the people that can afford psychiatric treatment seek it then it leaves a huge portion of the population out. It’s strange how y’all want these issues addressed but also don’t want any funds being allocated to address it.
