To quote Hugo Weaving’s Elrond, the rainbow groomers’ “list of allies grows thin”. More and more jurisdictions are turning against the “Trans” cult and the obvious harm it wreaks on vulnerable children. Not just “redneck” US states, either: the left’s beloved Scandinavian countries have almost universally rejected the dangerous nonsense of “gender-affirming care”.

Last week, the Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board announced it would be revising its current guidelines regarding so-called ” gender -affirming care” for minors because it no longer considers them to be evidence-based […]

Under the proposed updated guidelines, the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transition-related surgery would be restricted to research contexts and no longer provided in clinical settings.

SOTT

“Gender-affirming care” is, of course, a double-tautology: it neither affirms the reality of sex, nor does it do much to care for the children it sucks into its literally deadly grip. The evidence for its supposed efficacy has always been thin to non-existent, but the evidence against it is growing stronger by the day.

And sanity is slowly reasserting itself, in state after state, country after country.

Norway is the fourth country to restrict or ban sex change surgeries, hormones and puberty blockers for children. Finland, Sweden and the UK have found that there is insufficient evidence that the benefits of cross sex hormones, surgeries, and puberty blockers outweigh the costs for children.

What is “gender-affirming care”? A medical house of horrors more befitting a Mengele or the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment than rigorous, evidence-based medical care for children.

The phrase “gender affirming care” has become a catch-all term for puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, and sex change surgeries, which are irreversible. Several individuals are suing doctors who performed these treatments on them as minors, as they report a loss of fertility, and “permanent” disfigurement.

Besides infertility, it is also likely that children subjected to this ideologically-driven medical experimentation will never experience orgasm. Research also shows that most end up psychologically more damaged after transition than before.

Most notable is that Norway’s decision was made because they really followed science.

The report found that there is insufficient evidence for the use of puberty blockers and cross sex hormone treatments in young people, especially for teenagers who are increasingly seeking health services and being referred to specialist healthcare. Ukom defines such treatments as utprovende behandling, or “treatments under trial,” said Moen.

A more direct translation would be “experimental treatment”. So, “trans” clinics are literally experimenting on children.

Unlike other guidelines published by Norway’s ministry of health, the 2020 guidelines for the treatment of gender incongruence and dysphoria were not based on a systematic review of the evidence.

So, what were they based on?

Ideological follies and unconscionable pressure from groomer lobby groups.

Fortunately for the sake of children, we’re finally waking up to what we let the groomers get away with.
