We already know this from the seventies when transgender experimentation on kids led to suicides.
John Money, the psychologist who coined the term “Gender Role” insisting that gender transcended sex, inflicted his theories on a little boy named David Reimer, who was raised as Brenda under a regime that could be best be described as horrifying child abuse. Reimer eventually reclaimed his masculinity and told his story in a book, “As Nature Made Him”; a title that the LGBT community would today consider a hate crime.
While Money claimed that Reimer was a “happy little girl,” he was psychologically abusing the little boy. Reimer later committed suicide.
Biden, the Democrats, the media, and the current ‘Money’ experts claim that transgender experiments on kids are “medically necessary” to save their lives. But imposing a delusional state on kids is what’s leading to those suicide rates.
A Heritage report by Jay Greene PhD shows that suicide rates are actually higher when puberty blockers are inflicted on vulnerable children by sexual identity politics experts and Munchausen-by-proxy parents.
Without making any adjustments, suicide rates among those ages 12 to 23 (blue line) begin to spike in states that have provisions that allow minors to access health care without parental consent relative to states that have no such provision around 2016, after cross-sex medical interventions became more common. By 2020, there are about 3.5 more suicides per 100,000 people ages 12 to 23 in states with easier access than in states without an access provision. There is no similar spike in suicide rates among those ages 28 to 39 (grey line) at that time.
And here’s Jesse Singal, doing the work at his Substack that he likely couldn’t do at The Atlantic showing how little data is behind the expert recommendations.
The American Medical Association document is “Health insurance coverage for gender-affirming care of transgender patients,” an “Issue Brief” coauthored by that organization and an organization called GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ Equality. A key claim in it: “Recent research demonstrates that integrated affirmative models of care for youths, which include access to medications and surgeries, result in fewer mental health concerns than has been historically seen among transgender populations.” The footnote points to this study, this study, and this study. None of the three studies includes any outcome data at all. It’s very bad form for the AMA — an organization that we would hope would adhere to the highest standards of evidence — to claim X, and then point to not one but three studies that offer no statistical evidence in support of X.
The American Academy of Pediatrics document is “Ensuring Comprehensive Care and Support for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Children and Adolescents,” a “Policy Statement” published in Pediatrics. It’s written to be a general rundown of these issues for medical providers, and it barely touches on the evidence question. It does include the claim that “There is a limited but growing body of evidence that suggests that using an integrated affirmative model results in young people having fewer mental health concerns whether they ultimately identify as transgender.24,36,37” That’s a strikingly similar sentence to the AMA/GLMA one. And sure enough, those three endnotes are… the exact same three citations, in the same order, as are found in the AMA document. You know, the ones that offer no evidence about the outcomes of kids who go through this protocol…
Singal keeps going through the material that the experts are citing and finds that there’s nothing actually there except official statements from organizations citing each other and bolstering each other in an expert scrum that isn’t remotely fact-based.
Meanwhile the lives of children are being destroyed in an identity politics frenzy.

As Dr. Jaime Glazov and some of his guests have made clear, these creepy, evil, people are out to destroy the children. The unborn, the newborn….all the way to the young adult just learning to begin living what they have learned. Through the murder of the unborn, some states fighting to make it okay to murder after the child is born, and taking over the minds of children in the schools, convincing them that they are really something different than mommy and daddy…and even the doctor who helped them to enter the world outside their mom’s…were all wrong and the little tots need to take poisons and have surgeries to make sure mommy and daddy and everyone know that they were wrong.
It’s mental torment, torture, worse than any gitmo terrorist experienced. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that the little kids break.
It’s all an evil straight from satan.
Infidel says
I have never thought of ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ as different. I always preferred the later term, since ‘sex’ also means the physical sexual acts b/w males & females of any species. The idea that one can be of a male sex but a female gender, or vice versa, is downright asinine. But that’s what a lot of the West is these days, and they’re trying to drag down the rest of the world w/ them
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
In general usage, the terms sex and gender were interchangeable until about a dozen years ago.
PMK says
Infidel,
I always separated sex from gender. Gender applies to nouns. The first time I heard the word was in English grammar class in grade school. There are three genders in most Latin-based languages: masculine, feminine and neuter. Even when the trans movement started, such people were referred to as transsexual
somehistory says
“I have never thought of ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ as different. I always preferred the later term,”
same here.
the language about such things has changed a lot in the past fifty years, as have behaviors.
Sheila says
Boys and Girls are different.
Because…science.
Just ask your local medical examiner or forensic anthropologist how human remains are identified.
Male or Female, that’s how. And that’s all.
somehistory says
Yep, even the bones are different. from the head down through the body, male are different from female and the forensic examiner can use the differences learned to tell a lot about the person, even ethnic stuff, because the bones speak Truth.

Giving Kids ‘Puberty Blockers’ Increases Suicide Rates
…………….
Yes–I’ve seen enough of these disturbing cases at this point.
This should *never* be done to children.
If someone wants to undertake this later as an adult, that is one thing–but not on kids.
James Lincoln says
Agree 100%, gravenimage.
gravenimage says
Thank you, James.
Robert Mann says
“But if anyone causes one of these
little ones who believe in Me to
stumble, it would be better for him
to have a large millstone hung
around his neck and to be thrown
into the sea.”
– words of Christ, recorded in the Gospel according to St Mark 9:42
To my mind, to encourage children to doubt what sex (or ‘gender’) they are is a peculiarly vicious sin, and I suppose this quote refers to that (& doubtless some similar).
somehistory says
And God said, He that is touching you, is touching my eyeball.”
PMK says
Do any of these kids identify as ‘neuter’? That’s another gender.

DRLJR says
The one thing people need to keep in mind this agenda related to “gender is a choice” is part of the promotion of deviant behaviors and population reduction. Much of what we are dealing with today is things desired to stop procreation – by causing sterilization or prevent natural sexual behavior by undermining morals. People have to learn to “look behind the curtain” and find out the real agenda.
