PROOF GENDER TRANSITIONING IS DANGEROUS

Posted on by

A recent study of over 100,000 gender-confused Americans found that those who underwent a “sex-change” surgery have “substantially increased rates not only of depression, but of anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders.”

The study highlighted that men who underwent these surgeries had a depression rate of over 25%, compared to 11.5% of men who hadn’t gone as far as surgery. And for women, it was similar: nearly 23% vs. 14.6%. In other words, surgery doesn’t fix the identity crisis! It only makes things worse!

Now, this study was comparing those who had socially and maybe even chemically “transitioned,” versus those who “transitioned” and then later underwent surgery. Those who had surgery had a substantially higher risk of depression (the opposite of what you would expect if so-called gender-affirming “care” worked), but even the group with the lower depression rates—those who only socially and/or chemically transitioned—still have a much higher rate of depression than the general population (which is 5% according to the CDC). Again, our culture’s answer to gender confusion is not working! When we stray from God’s design and try to be our own gods, pain and suffering follow.

If a parent has a child struggling with gender identity, one of the first things they’re often told by counsellors, doctors, and therapists is, “You must immediately affirm your child’s new identity, or your child will likely commit suicide.” This and other studies prove that this is false and that surgery doesn’t fix the identity crisis! It only makes things worse!.

The good news is that on Monday, SCOTUS took up a case involving a challenge from a counsellor against a Colorado law banning so-called “conversion therapy” for minors identifying as LGBT. However, as Family Research Council President Tony Perkins clarified on Tuesday’s “Washington Watch,” while “the legacy media likes to call it conversion therapy … it’s really a ban on any conversation that doesn’t align with the Left’s radical gender ideology.” Colorado’s ban states that counsellors may not attempt to “change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity.”

UNREGULATED LIVE EXPERIMENT ON CHILDREN

Author J.K. Rowling has continued to raise concerns about transgender activism, particularly the promotion of experimental puberty blockers prescribed to minors, for which she was recently accused of attacking people who take medication to aid their mental health. 

Rowling’s 4,000-word essay “TERF Wars” was published on June 10 on her website where she articulated her perspective on the dangers transgenderism poses to women and their rights. TERF stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist and is considered a derogatory slur. ‘TERF’ is an acronym coined by trans activists, which stands for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist. In practice, a huge and diverse cross-section of women are currently being called TERFs and the vast majority have never been radical feminists. Examples of so-called TERFs range from the mother of a gay child who was afraid their child wanted to transition to escape homophobic bullying, to a hitherto totally unfeminist older lady who’s vowed never to visit Marks & Spencer again because they’re allowing any man who says they identify as a woman into the women’s changing rooms.

The author further explained in her posts that she believes modern gender-transitioning amounts to a new kind of gay conversion therapy that might cause sterility and the loss of their full sexual function, pointing to a recent BBC documentary scrutinising the Tavistock clinic in London where whistle-blowers spoke about how such transitions were driven by homophobia.

“The long-term health risks of cross-sex hormones have now been tracked over a lengthy period. These side-effects are often minimized or denied by trans activists,” Rowling continued, linking to a February 2019 News-Medical.net article about an American Heart Association study on hormone use that revealed an elevated risk of cardiac problems such as heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots.

As Christians, we recognise what an affront the entire LGBTQ movement is to God but even a prominent non Christian such as Rowling can see that the trans gender issue is a potential “time bomb”.

Rowling also highlighted the words of Oxford University professor of medicine Carl Henegan who has called the off-label use of puberty-blocking drugs on minors an “unregulated live experiment on children”.
