#160 – Addressing transgenderism 🗓
Gender dysphoria is a diagnosis, but transgenderism is an ideology. Gender transition procedures (GTPs) imperil already at-risk gender dysphoric youth with experimental and unproven hormonal and surgical gender procedures, which medicalize prematurely and permanently. Transition procedures are not proven effective, not proven safe, do not reduce suicides, and are not the standard of care for gender dysphoria.
Comprehensive literature reviews are driving an international pushback against GTPs in favor of intensive psychological evaluation and support for both the patient and their family, and the lawsuits over the harms of GTPs have begun. GTPs are not evidence-based care for gender dysphoric youth.
