So much for the “science” of transgenderism.
In yet another study released from Europe, it appears that the “science” that Democrats are so obsessed with has shattered yet another liberal lie.
This time, the “science” has thoroughly disputed the “urgent” importance of hormone therapy and sex “reassignment” surgery, which have become all the rage for the “progressive” brigade in the United States.
Over a period of fifteen years, Dutch researchers tracked more than 2,700 children, starting from age 11 until their mid-twenties.
And, over the course of fifteen years, Dutch scientists confirmed what has long since been to anyone with a semblance of common sense: Transgenderism, by and large, is a phase for most people.
As confirmed by the Dutch researchers’ methodology.
Every three years, the researchers asked study participants questions regarding their feelings on gender.
At the start of the study, approximately one in ten, or 11 percent, of the 11-year-old children expressed a sense of “gender non-contentedness.”
However, by the time the children turned 25, only one in twenty-five, or 4 percent, indicated dissatisfaction with their gender.
Moreover, 19 percent of participants became even more comfortable with their gender as they grew older.
Imagine that!
“The results of the current study might help adolescents to realize that it is normal to have some doubts about one’s identity and one’s gender identity during this age period and that this is also relatively common,” the researchers concluded.
Indeed.
What isn’t “normal” is a bunch of ultra-left adults pushing irreversible “treatments” on teenagers who don’t have the faintest sense of who they really are.
Patrick Brown, a fellow at the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center, is deeply skeptical of the aggressive “hormone therapy” push on adolescents, some of whom have not even become teenagers yet.
“This study provides even more reason to be skeptical towards aggressive steps to facilitate gender transition in childhood and adolescence,” Brown informed the Daily Mail.
No kidding.
Frankly, such “aggressive steps” should have never become normalized in the first place, but here we are.
“The fact that rates of satisfaction are lower even just a few years later suggests that for the vast majority of people, prudence and caution, rather than a rush towards permanent surgeries or hormone therapies, will be the best approach for teenagers struggling to make sense of the world and their place in it,” Brown continued.
Well, that is certainly the saner, more practical approach to sudden transgender militancy.
Unfortunately, that approach also means fewer dollars for Big Pharma and fewer excuses for the government to remove children from families’ homes.
As some American Christian families have already lost custody of their transgender children.
Brown also pointed out the insanity of pushing hormone therapy on teenagers in the first place, noting that adolescents are hardly known for their consistency and self-awareness.
Only natural, given the profound hormonal changes they are undertaking.
“As anyone who has ever been a teenager knows, puberty and its aftereffects can be a confusing time of hormonal surges, physical changes, and social insecurity … It isn’t surprising that the highest rates of being dissatisfied in one’s body would peak during this time,” Brown added.
Exactly.
Back in the twentieth century, sources of dissatisfaction included less aesthetically pleasing physical characteristics, such as acne and braces, both of which tend to be left behind in adolescence.
In the twenty-first century, thanks to the Dems, sources of dissatisfaction pertain to one’s actual sex, which in turn has brought about hormone therapy and sex change surgery.
Unlike acne and braces, neither hormone therapy nor sex change surgery are left behind in adolescence … On the contrary, both “therapies” haunt the individual for life.
Which is precisely why such “therapies” for minors should have long since been banned in the United States, as they have been in the United Kingdom.
“As such, policies that prohibit gender transition for minors make a great deal of sense,” Brown added pointedly.
Dr Jay Richards, director of the Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family, was even more blunt.
“There is no good evidence that this helps minors long term. Moreover, it medicalizes what could very well be temporary psychological symptoms … History will judge this medicalized ‘gender-affirming care’ on minors as we now judge eugenics and lobotomies,” Richards declared.
Spot on analogy.
Ironically, even the Nazis (yes, actual German Nazis) cited California’s eugenics laws in their defense during the Nuremberg Trials.
Looks like the left has been weaponizing pseudo-science for literally a century or more, all for authoritarian purposes.
