Dr. Susan Bradley, a Canadian psychiatrist and pioneer in child gender dysphoria treatment, came out against the popular model of affirming children’s transgender identities and putting them on puberty blockers — a practice she was once involved in — in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Bradley started a pediatric gender clinic in 1975 aimed at treating children with gender dysphoria — a deep sense of discomfort with one’s body and biological sex — in which she offered a therapy-focused approach; most patients outgrew their feelings of being transgender over time, she told the DCNF. Around 2005, the clinic began prescribing puberty blockers to gender-dysphoric children as a way

This "gender dysphoria", we used to call it puberty and no one felt comfortable with the bodily changes. It was okay because everyone was experiencing the same feelings to one degree or another. That's what sex education was supposed to teach the preadolescents. Now it's all grooming all the time.

Not so long ago, Female Genital Mutilation, if done by 3rd-world Muslims for religious reasons, was considered backward, horrifying and inhumane. And in distant eras, pharaohs, or sultans castrating Nubians to become eunuchs would be nowadays regarded likewise. NOW...in this country, when similar procedures are visited upon children caught up in a faddish trend, the results are considered life-affirming, self-actualizing, and good clean fun. What changed? The same people that want us sitting cold, in the dark and eating bugs, think there is just too darn much procreating going on out there.

Happens all the time -- the left and their media allies slowly come around to "discover" what we've been saying for years. Of course, no acknowledgement that we were right and they were wrong will ever be forthcoming.

I read a book once that talked about people with similar dysphoria. One was a person looking for a surgeon to cut off one of their arms because it needed to be cut off. They would not be complete until the arm was removed. And another case was of a person who believed they needed to be blind to be happy and content with their life. They were deemed to be mentally ill. So why this asinine belief that you can change your gender and those feelings should be celebrated? Anorexia is a mental condition. The starving of oneself is accepted as a mental illness. But not this gender bending/mutilating BS nonsense isn't? It is the insane medical personal pushing the mentally ill by encouraging their sick fantasy. Follow the money. Obviously it is easier to convince someone to cut off their penis than it is their arm and more socially acceptable. The person who wanted to be blind did a number on her eyes with Clorox. Mental illness comes in many different degrees of illness but this is hideous to scar children. It's like these aging women who have 40 rounds of plastic surgery, they look like freaks, they want more and they have no problem finding a surgeon who will happily cut into them one more time for a big check. This is sickening.

It was obvious from the instant that this insanity raised it's ugly, deranged, money-grubbing head.
We need to punish ALL medical staff who participated in these horrendous acts of obvious medical malpractice.

Who hasn't felt uncomfortable when puberty happens? For girls, your breasts grow, you get hair in odd places, you begin to menstruate. It's disconcerting as all get out. But you get through it.

After garbage like Bradley have done about all the evil carnage they can do...only then do they admit the truth! Burn her at the stake, like all her actions call for!

The transgender trend that so many kids are being caught up in is going to produce nothing but regret from so many of these kids. If they thought their pain was bad before transitioning, it is going to be nothing compared to how they feel after they realize they made a huge mistake. These kids are going to be devastated. Some even now are now coming forward to express the regret they feel right now. Medical professionals have a lot to answer for because they chose to profit financially over the well being and needs of their patients. Expect to see major lawsuits being filed because these kids have been used as guinea pigs.
The article is an excellent indictment of the medical professionals who have performed a grave disservice to their patients and the oath they took to do no harm. They should pay dearly both financially and professionally. If and when that happens, you will see a massive decrease in transitionings.

Perceptive posts, everyone. #3, I believe you summed up the situation beautifully. This transgender craze is a sort of mass manipulation of the mentally and emotionally weak to serve the purposes of the diabolical among us. The publish or perish culture in universities also gives degree candidates a reason to explore the most arcane and idiotic sectors of their chosen fields in order to be original.

The old girl is getting close to meeting her maker so she is starting to look back on her life trying to figure out what she did good and realizing she’d did more bad. Yeah she’ll be answering for it in a little bit.

The entity that assigns sex at birth is Mother Nature. If you believe and/or profess anything else you are a fool or a scoundrel.

Did you ever notice - - that these leftist lunatics never use the word "sex"?
It's always "gender" - - a term of grammar - - because if they said "sex" people might catch on to what they're actually doing.
Please don't fall into the communist trap of using "gender." The proper word - - and the word which communicates most clearly - - is "sex."

Duh. Who would have thought that slicing body parts off a child would not make any child uncomfortable? It takes a lot of extra education to put that kind of sound judgement into somebody's head.

I live in the NorthEast and Mass General in Boston does a HUGE business in this, as well as the surgery. There must be some unease because they (and BlackRock and Vanguard in the Financial area re: investing in LBGT etc. event though clients returns are lower) suddenly has a massive TVG ad campaign aBOUT HOWQ WONDERFUL THEY ARE....THEY NEVER MENTION GENDER of course.

There's tremendous pressure on today's kids to be judged and even graded on their sexual performance at age 11 or 12. Think twerks, think porn. Think YouTube or TikTok. Some kids know they're not ready to be sexually active but it's nearly impossible to fight the intense peer pressure. Is it possible some have declared themselves trans---as a sort of workaround to fight the intimidation to be sexually active? It's very cool to be trans nowadays and it comes with the flexibility of being able to search your identity for awhile and then revert back at a later time in a different setting if you want. Trans kids are instantly supported and seen as courageous heroes by everyone, without having to disclose their sexual proclivities.
Remember those cafeteria lunch tables? Having gender dysphoria now is so trendy that he/she/it would be welcomed to sit with all the popular kids now. Wow. Seems like a winning strategy, at least for entry-level transgenders.

Sex education in school NEEDS TO BE BANNED. That was the opening of Pandoras box to all this nonsense. Humanity got along just fine without the how to classes. It's a natural urge stupid! Primitive tribes know what to do...it isn't rocket science.

No one who opted for this surgery for themselves or their offspring should be allowed to sue anyone for anything. PERIOD.
The point will be driven home better if they endure the consequences of their decisions. The enormous amount of medications required on a daily basis to maintain this choice are enormous. Insurance companies need to drop coverage for the surgery and medications.
Unless the folly of this morbid fascination is made extremely painful both physically, emotionally, menrally and financially, the left will rise again with some new degeneracy.
You want to dance?
YOU PAY THE PIPER.
Do you know how much insurance premiums have gone up for normal people because of this foolishness?

I am not qualified to discuss this phenomenon ...but it seems to me...as a mother and grandmother...time for drastic changes should be attempted after 18 years of age....Ray Romano of the show..."Everybody loves Raymond"...said at some teenage time he thought he might be gay...but...then he saw some breasts and walked into a wall...that's how he knew he was straight...

Nature does not "assign sex at birth". Neither do doctors and midwives. Sex is not "assigned" at all; it is immutably determined at the moment of conception. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, a unique human person begins life. That unique human is either male or female, full stop.

Don't expose children to any kind of sexuality. I wasn't and I had wonderful childhood. In no way did I equate my tomboy athleticism to being a lesbian. When I first went "BOING" it was a sexual attraction to the incredibly handsome, manly young man I married. His masculinity brought home to me my femininity. Call be old fashioned but I think that is what nature intended.
