The answer is pretty simple: Because it's indoctrinating and misleading children and teenagers into it, and it's more than mere psychological abuse.
It would be one thing if it were just a psychological thing, like a religious cult or a live-altering and anxiety-inducing conspiracy theory. If the person ever learns better, he or she can get rid of it and start living a normal life. In some cases it may take several years to unlearn the indoctrination and learn to live in a normal society, and to unlearn all the bad habits and all the anxiety, etc. Some people might be psychologically scarred for life, but quite often people can get out of it and become healthy adults who live a normal healthy life.
Such psychological indoctrination would be bad enough, but in many, perhaps most cases, it will not have life-long effects, and people can recover.
Not so with the "trans" ideology, though. That's because in more and more countries, at an ever increasing pace, it's not just psychological indoctrination. It's physical abuse.
Children are more and more often given puberty-blockers. The longer this lasts, the more it will cause stunted growth and other types of potential health problems. The longer this lasts, the more irreversible it becomes. Continue it for long enough, and the person might never grow to full size, and will remain stunted for his or her entire life, and not just in terms of body height and size.
Teenagers are more and more often given sex hormones that they don't need. Again, continue this for long enough, and the health risks increase, and physically reversing the process becomes harder and harder (although not completely impossible in most cases). The long-term negative health effects of years-long use are unknown, so it's a complete gamble. (There are some indications that it may increase the risk of several types of cancer, among other problems).
And once you go under the knife, you will be physically crippled for life. There is no going back, ever. That's it. You will have ruined your body, and you will never become normal and healthy again. It's a completely irreversible process.
And this is being done more and more to children and teenagers, because of political indoctrination. That's why it's so dangerous. It's absolutely horrendous.
Are you under the impression that children are being tied to chairs and injected with puberty blockers against their will, kicking and screaming?
ReplyDeleteNo one gives a kid puberty blockers unless that kid was psychologically evaluated and determined to need them.
Rates of any kind of "transgender medical regret" are very low. The vast majority of people who get puberty blockers or adult HRT do not go back or express any desire to do so, so I'm not sure why you're so worried about teenagers "being given hormones they don't need". And how does undergoing a life saving gender confirmation surgery count as "being crippled"?
Children are impressionable and extremely easy to mislead. They don't understand what they are doing. More and more parents are being indoctrinated into believing their kid is "trans" if the kid shows any sign of interest in things stereotypical of the other sex, no matter how temporarily. Studies have shown that well over 90% of children with so-called "gender dysphoria" get over it eventually. You don't need to "tie children to chairs and inject them with puberty blockers against their will". You just need to convince them that they need it, which is extremely easy to do.
DeleteAnd no, children do not need puberty blockers. Under any circumstance. It does not matter what "psychological evaluation" bullshit is done, children do not NEED any puberty blockers. Such a need does not exist. The whole "psychological evaluation" thing is 100% bullshit, especially at many places in the United States today. Any medical professional who prescribes puberty blockers to a child should be prosecuted for child abuse.
Social justice warriors saying that rates of regret are very low doesn't make it so. Those are claims based on nothing but propaganda. They are not claims based on studies. Social justice warriors deliberately ignore the people who regret it. If you search for them online you'll find them. And the surgery is not "life saving".
