Canadian Media Deliver Downside Of Hormone Therapy, Transgender Surgery
“We feel the health-care system has been completely taken over by a political agenda.”
In what may be a first within Canadian media, the National Post recently published an article questioning hormone therapy and sexual transition surgery for the young.
“Critics complain that rather than explore the often-complex mental-health issues of young people who present as trans, health-care practitioners are too readily putting [our youth] on ‘puberty blockers’– and then cross-sex hormones– followed often by reassignment surgery.”
“We feel the health-care system has been completely taken over by a political agenda at the expense of the actual evidence,” argues Kimberly, who runs Gender Dysphoria Alliance.
According to Canada’s National Post, a bill now before the Ontario legislature emphasizes speeding up medical transition, reducing the need for practitioners’ referrals, and defining services like double mastectomies as life-saving.
Interesting timing it is. Just this week, Canada’s House of Commons passed legislation that would ban the widely condemned practice of conversion therapy.
As it happens, other nations of the world are regressing from government and health industry endorsement of hormone therapy and transgender surgery. Both Finland and Australia have stepped back from the affirmative approach.
“Alarms are being sounded all over the world,” says Aaron Kimberly, a B.C.-based transgender man and registered nurse with qualms about the current approach. “And Canada seems completely deaf to it.”
While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals continue to thrust forward with promotion of transgenderism, the situation on the street is anything but ebullient.
Again quoting the National Post, “Mary’s troubled daughter had talked about her changing sexual identity before, but when she announced at age 16 that she was a transgender boy, it seemed to come out of the blue.”
“Even so, a doctor later wrote her a prescription for testosterone after a pair of 15-minute appointments, the mother says. Within months, the teenager had also had a double mastectomy.”
At the risk of being old-fashioned, it is reasonable to assume that parents from coast-to-coast would be skeptical– if not outraged– at the post-modern condition of transgenderism in Canada.
Why is the Liberal government so emphatically dedicated to this cause? We are living in a society being torn apart by pandemics, flooding, and related catastrophes. Global warming and related carbon taxation have Canadians tied in knots. All of this exacerbated by personal and family debt, as well as inflation.
It is under these circumstances that the first piece of significant legislation introduced by Justin Trudeau upon return to Parliament is that of sex-change laws.
What percentage of Canadians fall into the category of transsexualism? One percent? Perhaps two-percent at the most. Why then is this issue top priority for our ruling government?
A giant question– sure to remain unanswered in perpetuity by establishment media. What happened to the 15-year old trans person subsequent to surgery?
“Mary says her child’s long-standing depression and anxiety only worsened. The young woman made a stunning admission to her mother: even as she was being wheeled into the operating room to have her breasts removed, she was having doubts about her decision.”
The 21-year-old is now “detransitioning,” reverting to her original female identity.
Here we witness a single example of what a rational person could label “family dysphoria”– the negative impact upon the family unit resulting from situations such as this. It is far from an isolated case.
Will basic morality–not to mention common sense– transition the thinking of Canadian parents to begin to challenge the legitimacy of the trans-for-youth phenomenon?
