As the push by radical “transgender” activists grows ever more shrill and demented, the push-back from parents and some politicians is growing stronger. After being blindsided by the transgender Blitzkrieg of the Waffen Cross-Dress, the forces of sanity and reason are at last finding their voice. They’re being bolstered by those few in the medical profession with the integrity and the guts to speak out.
Australian experts are calling for an urgent national inquiry into unproven hormone drugs being given to ever younger gender-confused children.
Their detailed submission, arguing that risks including infertility and lifelong regret outweigh the benefits, has been sent to Health Minister Greg Hunt and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
While “transgenders” are still a vanishingly small minority, out of all disproportion to media-elite obsessions, the trans-world express is steamrolling through the institutions, not least schools. “Give us a child before the age of seven,” seems to be the rule, “and we’ll give you the trans”.
According to The Australian, “2145 children were referred for gender treatment between 2014 and last year, with a 41 per cent increase in Victoria. Girls as young as nine are believed to be put on ‘puberty blocker’ drugs, and boys from about 11.”
This is a shocking escalation, by anyone’s measure. Yet, it has been allowed to fester without any meaningful debate.
Paediatrics Professor Whitehall, who backed the submission, asked, “Who gave ethics approval for this treatment when it lacks any scientific basis and therefore is an experiment?”
“We should give the psychiatry and psychology a full run before we start castrating children.”
The experts are among a growing number of critics challenging the trend of putting children on blockers: “virtually all those on blockers go on to cross-sex hormones (and sometimes surgery), meaning an irrevocable transition to a medical approximation of the opposite sex. This makes them lifelong patients with a range of potential complications and a high risk of infertility.”
It’s a bold public health professional who dares speak out. The simple fact is that the very people who prattle about “inclusion” and being “welcoming” are the most vicious, intolerant bigots imaginable. “Transgender” activists bully, vilify, sue and attack anyone, from Twitter users to academics, who dares challenge their delusional obsessions.
Health sociologist Geoff Holloway, who wrote the submission, says…“People who object to what’s going on, they can lose their jobs, quite apart from being ostracised. This is supposed to be a scientific endeavour, not a witch hunt.”
Developmental psychologist Dianna Kenny said, “What I’m saying is it’s been massively and irresponsibly over-diagnosed … (these children and teens) are going to be irrevocably damaged by the treatment they received.”
The medical push-back is being welcomed by political groups trying to rally the resistance to the relentless mincing march of the drag-queen dragoons.
Kirralie Smith, Binary spokeswoman, was pleased Australian experts are speaking out.
“Transgender ideology has trumped biological science to the detriment of children. Medical professionals take a huge risk speaking out and demanding standards ensuring the safety and protection of our children.”
