Transgenderism: A dangerous new fad

 


Transgenderism: A dangerous new fad - American Thinker  . . . "Other countries are also dealing with transgenderism and witnessing the effects of its popularity among the young.  Australian psychiatrist Stephen Stathis, who is responsible for diagnosing gender dysphoria, reported on a patient who said, "Doctor Steve...I want to be transgender.  It's the new black."

"This cultural push ignores that men and woman are different, in brains and body.  While a boy may feel like a girl, he is not.  He is still a boy.  Feelings cannot change a person's sex.

"It also ignores the problems with transgenderism.  Per capita, more transgender people have attempted suicide — 22% to 43% of them — than any other demographic.  Additionally, two thirds of all trans youths report recent self-harm.  Believing you are in the wrong body takes a serious toll on your mental health.  If someone takes hormone-blockers or has a so-called sex reassignment done, this likely will also negatively impact a person's mental well-being in the long run.

"For example, in 2020, Keira Bell, a 23-year-old woman from London, sued the National Health Service (NHS).  Bell was only 16 when she went to the NHS for gender dysphoria treatment.  After three one-hour therapy sessions, the NHS prescribed puberty-blockers.  Three years later, it gave her a double-mastectomy.  Once she had taken these steps, it was too late to go back." . . .
