I don’t think it is possible to be “born in the wrong body.” I acknowledge that some people are very uncomfortable with their healthy bodies. For a variety of reasons. Those people need talk therapy. Not life-long body altering drugs or surgery.
Gender affirming care is the real conversion therapy.
The hospital will no longer provide “gender affirming” medical interventions on minors. We need to see much more of this….
🧵US: BREAKING NEWS: The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) says they are dropping their pediatric gender clinics. The hospital will no longer provide "gender affirming" medical interventions on minors. https://t.co/bQxk9Z1rkX
….the Pharmaceutical company, AbbVie was mentioned:
A Dec. 17, 2020, adverse event report to the FDA describes a 15-year-old patient taking Lupron for gender therapy. The patient had a history of “major depressive disorder” and a family history of depression. The patient experienced “mental health deterioration” while on Lupron and attempted suicide twice. AbbVie (a pharmaceutical co.) wrote in the report to the FDA that “there is no reasonable possibility” that the adverse events were related to Lupron. The company did not elaborate.
Dr Brad Miller, division director of pediatric endocrinology at the University of Minnesota Medical School and M Health Masonic Children’s Hospital, expressed surprise at the number of adverse event reports Reuters found. He said he was particularly concerned because doctors prescribe puberty blockers for transgender children, who are already at higher risk of mental health problems.
Miller and several other doctors told Reuters they had repeatedly asked AbbVie, Endo and other makers of puberty blockers to seek FDA approval for the drugs in treating gender dysphoria in children and to conduct clinical trials to establish the drugs’ safety for such use. They said the companies always declined. “They would say it would cost a lot of money to get approval,” Miller said. “And they were not interested in going there because (transgender treatment) was a political hot potato.” Source: Reuters.com
Lots of money to be made in a gender-confused world.
Here's a good report from a few years ago, when psychiatrists were testing Lupron on "convicted pedophiles, rapists, exhibitionists, and voyeurs," hoping the drug would reduce "their deviant compulsions."
I’m a Classic Christian and regard Gender Ideology as anti-creational to the core. This blog & podcast is about “God’s Good Creation.” That’s why I’m writing about Gender Ideology. And “speaking up” as I’m confident Jesus would.
