Group finds 14,000 child sex changes in American hospitals

[jotathought]

Okay, this already sounds dishonest on it's face, as it is counting a hormone treatment as a sex change operation.

There are legitimate non-transition reasons to prescribe puberty blockers.

So this whole thing sounds... kind of dubious to start with.

But let's take it at face value that 14,000 kids are getting Gender Affirming care.

300,000 teenagers identify as transgender in the US. So even if your numbers are true, it means less than 5% are getting any kind of treatment.

Number of Trans Youth Is Twice as High as Previous Estimates, Study Finds

New data show that about 300,000 teenagers identify as transgender.

That is 5% too many. Any child that has a surgical procedure completed (i.e. Mastectomy, Orchiectomy, Vaginoplasty, Hysterectomy, etc) has been altered for life with no going back. These children (and parents) should be researching mental health and/or mental illness treatments instead of mutilating bodies because the child feels like the opposite sex.

"Group finds 14,000 child sex changes in American hospitals"

Pretending that lie is not the topic of the thread. Truly weird!

Child covers up to 18. Hell when it comes to gun statistics provided by gun grabbers, they go up to 20 or so.

 

[Rawley]

Think about it. They quote the cost at $8,500 per child.

As I pointed out, you can't get your appendix taken out for that.

1,000% Ratty. Kudos.

 

[postman]

Show the exact accusation of pre-pubescents being mentioned for bottom surgery.

What is being said is they are being given puberty blockers.

That's not what the title says

Group finds 14,000 child sex changes in American hospitals

 

[TheGreatSatan]

They can't, that's the problem.

The "village" is dangerous

Democrats = party of pedophiles

MTG is RIGHT!!!

For Mommy and daddy's insurance it is 26

 

[Rawley]

You could make the same stupid claim about every medical procedure

Nope.

The usual leftist "go for chickenshit semantics" to pretend to be able to dismiss the whole thread.

Pedos come from all factions, when you have one faction focusing on children like this it becomes obvious

 

[postman]

Nope.

You can say any medical procedure provides $$$ to the doctor, and medical staff performing it.

It's the root of all capitalism.

 

[Rawley]

You can say that of just about anybody.
From the waiter recommending the house special to the mechanic changing axels in pairs.

Again 1,000% Ratty. Ordering the Chicken Piccata is equivalent to deciding to having your daughter's breasts cut off.

The title of the OP is not chickenshit semantics.

It's what the entire thread is based on.

If it isn't TRUE.. You've been prosecuting or defending a LIE.

Again 1,000% Ratty. Ordering the Chicken Piccata is equivalent to deciding to having your daughter's breasts cut off.

That's what they've been saying. Since both recommendations provide income to the person suggesting them.

So in republican world, they're the same thing.

The thread is based on the article referenced. Should they have used medical gender reassignment treatments, or medical gender affirming care? Probably.

All this doesn't dismiss from the FACT that this is happening to kids in the US, and not just a few dozen.

Nope, only in your bizzaro world Ratty,

 

[Delldude]

The child needs input
Why would you do a sex change that the child does not want?

Child is affecting their life forever. They can wait until they're old enough to make an informed decision on their own.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Adolescent suicide is the second leading cause of death. The only thing greater is accidents.

Trannies kill themselves at a much higher rate then normal people

 

[JoeB131]

Specific to sex change patients.

And hormones and puberty blockers are just as bad when used for the express purpose of sex change or stopping puberty.

No, it's a legitimate medical treatment for a legitimate medical issue.

Androgen deprivation is a legitimate treatment for advanced prostrate cancer, however this ailment is exceedingly rare in minor children.

The vast majority of "puberty blockers" are given to encourage sex changes.

Some are. Others are given for early onset puberty, a more common occurrence in children with all the growth hormones we are putting in the food.

 

[postman]

The thread is based on the article referenced. Should they have used medical gender reassignment treatments, or medical gender affirming care? Probably.

The article starts out with the premise:

A new database launched by Do No Harm, an association of medical professionals opposed to the politicization of medicine, has revealed that nearly 14,000 children underwent sex changes across the United States from 2019 to 2023.

Just like the OP title says.

So the title says it, the op says it.

And you're prosecuting or defending the lie.

If you wait till after puberty, you have already assumed the sexual characteristics of your birth sex and Conservatives will mock you as a freak for the rest of your life
