Trans insanity: Doctors claim children know they're trans practically from womb
This is child abuse. This is equivalent to giving kids lobotomies.“A good portion of children do know as early as from the womb” that they are transgender.
At Boston Children’s Hospital “we see a variety of young children all the way down to ages 2 and 3.”

We're back to the days of troglodyte gender roles. The only difference is rather than ridiculing the girl who plays with trucks, they're taking out her uterus.
Yeah right, right now there are boys waiting to be born thinking to themselves 'I'm a girl, why do I have a dick?
Who the fuck thinks this shit up and how can any sane person think it's acceptable and true?
Any parent who makes that decision for a young child should have his/her head caved in with a baseball bat. I wouldn't dream of doing anything to my children that would alter their natural courses through puberty. If one of them makes it to adulthood and decides that she wants to be something else, at least she can process the enormity of that decision. To make this forever decision for a young child just because little Jimmy prefers dolls to trucks, or just because little Sarah is a tomboy who prefers to play with the boys, should be criminal.
Are you sure you're not just gay and confused about being straight? When did you choose to be straight?
I’m not admitting to anything - but I don’t agree with datinman. Lol!
Some idiot running for the local school board actually had the grammar school students take a gender identity survey - without getting the parent’s approval. That idiot is no longer part of the board, and a few other board members are now out as well.
It's funny how progressives say 18 year olds aren't mature enough to decide to take on student loan debt think 5 year olds have the mental capacity to decide to irreversibly sterilize themselves.
Icee, do you support sterilization of 5 year olds who think they might be the opposite gender?
For me girls started getting less "icky" when I was around 10, but that was an evolving process over a few years.
But what does that have to do with whether it's ok to sterilize a prepubescent child? You're conflating sexual orientation with sexual identity and even the orientation question is one that some kids grapple with well into their 20s. How could any parent possibly believe that the best course of action is to sterilize a child long before that child can mature and make his/her own decisions?

They talk about their clinic and about meeting with people, but they don't actually say what they do, or what they have done.
I find this:
https://diversitybch.ucsf.edu/child-and-…
I listen to it. Yes I am always opposed to psychiatric medications.
About gender discussions, I think that could be okay, so long as you are letting Child Protective Services check out the home situations.
Gender change hormones, I have questions about that and minors.
And about surgery, I cannot go along with that an minors.
But then again, I have never knowingly met anyone who might want that, and all the more so a minor.
So I would like to see and hear more about it so that I might better understand.
I still do find a lot of these kinds of news sources to be less than credible.
SJG
To you, does this count as "psychiatric medication"? Even if it isn't an SSRI or atypical antipsychotic?
Whether or not you know someone who wants it or not is irrelevant. Nor do I, but personal experience isn't an argument. As far as I'm concerned, adults can do whatever they want. But encouraging a child to question their gender, at a time when their hormones are going wild and uncomfortable bodily transitions are happening, is abuse.
Icee seems to think people are trans from birth, and can't address whether a hysterectomy on a 5-year-old is appropriate. I want him to say "yes" or "no."
Even if people are trans from birth, I still would not trust their ability to koow that or to have the necessary agency. I need to see much more.

It's definitely not OK to pressure a child into making a choice like that before they're fully capable of understanding the ramifications.
It's definitely not OK to prevent a child from learning about the fact that transsexualism is an actual, real thing (despite what some Bronze Age snowflakes might think) and to let them know about the possibilities open to them if they feel different than society tells them they should.
And this is why I want to see more information before I form an opinion about what is happening now.

Q: How is the process of seeking gender-affirming care different for minors?
A: If a child is prepubertal, there's no medical treatment that's given. The only decision-making is, do they use their chosen name and pronoun? Do they present themselves with clothing and hairstyle in a different way?
There are specific medical criteria to diagnose different stages of puberty. When a child gets to a stage of early puberty called Tanner stage 2, if the child is still expressing what is called gender dysphoria, or gender incongruence, then, depending on the age of the child and a bunch of other factors, such as family, environment, and so on, and after an assessment that includes an evaluation by a qualified mental health clinician, puberty delaying becomes an option.
I call them puberty blockers, but really they just kind of put the brakes on puberty. It's fully reversible.
At UCSF, the Child and Adolescent Gender Center assists patients with this care. My work focuses on adults.
Q: When is gender-affirming surgery considered?
A: Like any surgery, there are different criteria depending upon the procedure.
Historically these assessments were very like, ‘Are you really trans enough to have this surgery? Prove to me you're really trans,’ and we don't want to do that, although a mental health assessment can be useful, and is sometimes required to align expectations and goals.
What we want to do is make sure the patient is really prepared for the potential for unsatisfactory outcomes or complications. That they have adequate support in place to deal with potential complications and the rigors and demands of self-recovery, which can be months depending on the procedure performed. These kinds of things happen for most surgeries. You go in for weight loss surgery, you’re meeting with a social worker and mental health clinicians to talk about recovery, for example.
We focus on what assessments should look like so that we’re not creating a gatekeeping or stigmatizing environment, but still providing important assessment and preparation so that it centers truly informed consent.
Q: Gender-affirming health care has been politicized a great deal recently, especially with kids. Do you think this kind of care is at risk?
A: That’s a difficult question to answer. In the early 2000’s in Los Angeles, when I was in the midst of my own transition, I got thrown out of a bathroom in a restaurant in downtown L.A. That seems like a lifetime ago for people who are in their twenties, but it was not that long ago at all.
What we have is still fragile and is not baked in. I think that as generational turnover continues in this country, the size of that majority who are supportive of these issues will continue to grow. At the same time, there are some very real, politicized threats in states such as Florida and Texas, which are aiming to restrict or even outlaw these treatments altogether on political rather than scientific grounds.
I think that there’s a great deal of structural risk at the federal level that makes it entirely possible that there will be legal difficulty coming for a lot of different groups in this country, including sexual and gender minorities. In 2021, the Supreme Court ruled in Bostock that Title IX includes protection around gender identity. But they also recently overturned the Roe V. Wade decision, and as part of the decision, Justice Thomas made comments that suggest this court will consider overturning other precedents as well, should they come before them. Would they turn around and say, ‘No, we don’t think that anymore?’ It is a concerning time indeed.

Let’s say a kid wants to be a pirate - and he dresses up like Jack Sparrow. His parents see him looking more flamboyant than an actual pirate. They decide that Johnny wants to be Jill - because he’s wearing scarves and necklaces and earrings - and eye makeup.
But, Johnny is just living in a 7 year old’s dream world of pirates living on the high seas. He’s not interested in transitioning. His parents see this and draw immediate conclusions and begin to get him ready for surgery..
Yet they gloss it over because trans stuff is sacred these days, right? Joe Biden called it the civil rights issue of the day (lulz).
Same reason monkeypox, largely a disease of promiscuous gay men, is a public health emergency but 100,000 dying of fentanyl overdoses isn't. Because gay sex is sacred and needs to be protected. After all, we can't go around saying unprotected promiscuous anal sex is risky and should be discouraged, right?
It's good to be the alphabet mafia under a Democrat administration.
This is exactly what they're doing and then the schools influence the kids with parades for gay and trans kids.
Those videos were straight from Boston Children's youtube account but they have now hidden all their trans-child videos and now Twitter may have also blocked them.

"working with gender expansive individuals, 3 to 25"
That's great in theory, but the questions are when this should be introduced and by whom.
I am in FL and I very much agree with what Gov. DeSantis has done on this. Putting aside the drama queen hyperbole being splashed around by too many media outlets, the reality is that it simply prohibits discussions of sexual topics, including alternative lifestyles, with children too young to properly process them. These young minds have enough to deal with. Suddenly putting their previously unquestioned genders into question shouldn't be one of them.
As far as who should be doing this, it is the job of teachers of instruct young children on the ABCs and 123s, not the Birds and the Bees. That last piece is <strong>my</strong> job. Some claimed that what DeSantis did was unnecessary overkill, but during the pandemic, when we suddenly got granular insights into what was being covered in classes, many FL parents were shocked to find children's books being used in these classrooms which contained alternative lifestyle and/or gender dysmorphia themes.
Our children do not exist to serve as validation tools for the lifestyle choices and/or social beliefs of others. The pattern is becoming increasingly clear - first supposedly responsible adults fuck their heads up with concepts that they cannot truly process, then similarly oriented psychiatrists convince gullible parents, using what is increasingly being understood to be quack science, to sterilize and then radically alter their kids forever.
Other industrialized nations, realizing that this has gone too far, have actually started pulling back from this stuff. The U.S. is way behind its European counterparts in understanding the fallacy of allowing young children and their parents to make these choices. But it starts with not fucking up the heads of these kids in the first place with concepts that they should not be exposed to at such a young age.
It wasn't too bad here, which doesn't surprise me as this is a rather conservative part of FL. But in some of the Tampa and Miami area schools some of the materials that parents found out about when kids switched to remote learning were more problematic. Same held true in a number of schools around the country.
So now parents around the country are becoming much more active with their local school boards and are demanding much more transparency. Overall this is a good thing, though every so often it gets a little out of hand.

I am concerned about this, and I know that I don't know enough about it yet to take a position.
There hormone treatments and puberty blockers are serious things. Now they have said that before puberty there is zero medical treatment, they only talk about names and pronouns.
But it must be at the very start of puberty that they would give out these puberty blockers.
And they talk about breast enlargement or removal at age 15.
Now I am not usually going to side with the Right on culture war issues. And I do stand up for LGBTQ rights.
But this is something else. Minors cannot consent to sex. Having sex with them is always are serious felony. I know a guy who served 10 years for that.
So why can they consent to this physical gender therapy?
When it comes to the doctors that parents take their kids to to have them put on psychiatric drugs, I want them prosecuted in the International Court for Crimes Against Humanity, and I want them to receive the death penalty.
So how is this juvenile gender therapy different?
I still do not know anywhere near enough about this.

Explains that usually conservatives will defend parental authority. But in this arena they were opposed to parental authority.
Interesting. When it comes to ~Mental Health~ and ~Autism Spectrum~ I see parental authority as the start of the problem. I see that this could likely be true with this gender therapy too. The child's feeling that they should have a different gender has developed out of structural conflict with the parents.

****************************
About this Trans and Gender Therapy, I am having a hard time relating to it. For one thing I have never knowingly met a teenager who felt that they were of the wrong gender. Maybe they dress in somewhat of a trans way, but that is as far as it goes. And I certainly have never felt any desire to be the other gender.
I have never felt same sex attraction and I am not open to that. But I can see how someone could feel that. And maybe for young people today this is not such a big deal.
There is a citation in the above article to someone who says that these surgeries should not be allowed until age 25, as that is about the minimum for someone to really be able to know such a thing.
Minors cannot consent to sex. Maybe this is overlooked with people their own age. But it stops them from having sex with experience people.
And when living with their parents and being financially supported by them, there are still all kinds of life experience they lack.
If a juvenile wants to experiment with names, pronouns, clothes and same sex attraction, I see no problem with this. And I say this even though I have never done this and never would.
But I cannot see how the quality of life and their development for a juvenile would ever be enhanced by these things or be something they would need to depend on. I see their feelings that they have to change genders as just some kind of a structural conflict they are having with their parents. And it is the parents who are culpable.
SJG
@Icee, stop dodging. You don't need irreversible surgery to live a gay lifestyle.
At which age should a child be able to undergo an irreversible sex change surgery?
Your answer should be a number.
And really I think this is quite far "out there", so maybe there should be other legal requirements which have to be satisfied.
Certainly a juvenile or someone being supported by their parents should be ineligible.

Icee, on the other hand, says some people know they're trans from birth, and said so in the context of gender reassignment surgeries.
These clinics are saying they treat children as young as 2-3, and talk about hysterectomies on teenagers.
So I'm asking him again, at what age should people be able to consent--with or without their parents wishes--to have their sex organs at birth removed so they can live as their preferred gender?
So then either it is for money, or it is for the ego gratification of the doctor.
And this last way is the central component of the allegation against Josef Mengele. And it is on account of him more than anyone else, that the Statute of Limitations on War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity was lifted.
The hunt for Mengele did not end until there was positive genetic identification of his remains.

At what age should people be able to consent--with or without their parents wishes--to have their sex organs at birth removed so they can live as their preferred gender?

It's actually trans ideology that is homophobic because many gay men like feminine things and many gay women like masculine things and according to trans ideology that make them trans. Many adult homosexuals are realizing this and don't want to be associated with the trans-movement and feel that trans people have hijacked the homosexual communities fight for civil rights and are endangering it.

S.B.No. 107 —Wiener et al.
An act relating to health care.
Legislative Counsel’s Digest of Assembly Amendments
SB 107, as it passed the Senate, required the State Department of Social Services to participate in the federal Elderly Simplified Application Project and develop a user-centered application to enroll eligible individuals in the project, among other things.
The Assembly amendments delete those provisions and instead prohibit the release of medical information or issuance of a subpoena related to a person or entity allowing a child to receive gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care in response to a criminal or civil action based on another state’s law that authorizing a person to bring a civil or criminal action against a person or entity that allows a child to receive that care. The Assembly amendments also prohibit law enforcement agencies from knowingly making or participating in the arrest or extradition of an individual pursuant to an out-of-state arrest warrant based on another state’s law against providing, receiving, or allowing a child to receive gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care that is lawful in this state. The Assembly amendments also make nonsubstantive double jointing amendments to the bill.

This is another Scott Wiener bill and he wants to give total legal immunity to the parents if their minor child gets "gender affirming care", and this could mean people coming from out of state, and even when there is parental disagreement. The parents are to be immune from legal challenge and from Child Protective Services.
Arguing the other side is Senator talking about genitalia removal, and a girl who maybe was awkward and had a hard time making friends and found a supportive place in an Internet Trans community. She ended up having her breasts removed.
I don't see how a minor can make an informed choice about this sort of thing because they own sexual identity is not well defined at all. For one thing, the law does not allow them to consent to sex, and CA law and enforcement are very strict about this.
Senator Pan (D Sacramento) talks in support of the Wiener bill and says that there is no recommendation of surgery on minors.
He says talk of surgery is an exaggeration.
About puberty blockers he is saying that most who did this as youth do not regret their decisions. And he is acting like it is reversible. He dismisses the opposition as exaggerated and false information.
Senator Dave Min (R - Irvine) speaks in support of the Wiener bill, and says he has a 12yo trans nephew.
Senator Brian Dahle ( R - Candidate for Governor ) is asking what the min age for "gender affirming care" can be. He finds nothing in this legislation about this. Wiener says that these are medical decisions and medical professionals make these decisions. But Dahle says that he can't find any age limit in the bill, and that with minors gender identity can change many times.
The main voice against this Scott Wiener bill has been Senator Melissa Melendez (R- Lake Elsinor)
https://melendez.cssrc.us/
Scott Wiener says that the other side of the aisle is making this about culture wars. He says that that is the problem and this bill prevents this.
Calling the role now. So it passed 30 to 9. Really it has passed before, this was just concurring with the Assembly Amendments.
Wiener says that the problem is that Red States are branding the parents criminals over this, so CA is to be a refuge.
To me it seems that if something medical is being done which is wrong and the parents are complicit, then they are criminals. We see this all the time with MSBP, and I say that Autism and Mental Illness are little more than examples of MSBP.
But if something wrong is being done medically, and the doctors are not being duped, then they should also be held medically responsible, and likely more so.
This is interesting because usually conservative do not want the law getting between parents and their children. But in this case it is reversed, they want the government to protect children from their parents. But to me it still seems like what drives this are doctors which have gone way way too far.
I want to read more about this subject, as it is new and challenging to me.

One of them is that they could come to feel that they are transgender.
I am not taking a position on this because I do not know enough about it.
But here I post a video of the CA State Senate 8/31/2022, the last day of the legislative session.
They are discussing Senator Scott Wiener's (D) SB-107. It is about protecting parents and doctors from prosecution under out of state laws for allowing their child to receive "gender affirming care".
Now I know this is just a small facet of a much larger subject, and I am not clear that anyone could be prosecuted under out of state laws anyway.
My real question is, what can a minor consent to? And consider that minors are not allowed to consent to sex.
I have heard from gay activists that one cannot develop a gay identity until they are of legal age, because developing that identity would mean they have to have sex, and with adults.
So should we lift the age of consent laws?
I also find this interesting because usually it is the left that wants to protect children from their parents. But here it seems to be the right that wants this protection.
And then, what about protection from excessive doctors?
Now, the Left does accuse the Right of using rare, unusual, and false stories in their opposition to this. And that would be very serious. The same day on the PBS Newshour they said that the Right was using false data. They didn't get specific about what the stories were though.
Speaking in opposition is Senator Melisa Melendez (R)
Senator Pan (D) a pediatrician, speaks in favor of the bill. He says that there is no recommendation for surgery on minors. But then what is the legal standard? If it is just left to the medical profession, then you have the same sort of situation you have with the Mental Health Industry.
Senator Min (D) speaks in support of the bill, and he says he has a trans nephew age 12.
Senator and Candidate for Governor Brian Dahle (R) asks a question of the author, at what age can a minor consent to these things?
Wiener does really answer this, saying that it is a medical decision. He says that there are standards and ages of consent, but that parents can also consent.
Well doing it that way, with no external legal boundaries, sets up something like the Mental Health and Autism Industries, a complete abomination.
And I don't think these puberty blocking drugs are some minor thing either.
