Yeah cause 16 is not young...That's funny, a few posts ago you said that "young children" were given those drugs. Now it is 16 year olds. Do you think much about what you post or know what you believe ? The fact is that older teens may well be given gender affirming hormone therapy but only after extensive evaluation and counselling as a best practice.Who is doing that??What I am talking about is giving CHILDREN "Gender affirming" hormone therapy that can permanently affect their physicality at early ages where their gender "preference" is 100% impossible to tell between real or desired/imagined. It is a barbaric practice
Really? Beginning at age 16, gender affirming hormone therapy is nearly now common in major hospitals in the United States, Europe and Australia.
Much earlier than that age, although hormone therapy is not YET used in 5 and 6 year olds, they employ a broad usage of therapies and sessions to "help them" deal with their condition.
All in a pretend world as if Gender dysphoria is common when it isn't...at ALL. They are treating children for a condition where it is highly unlikely they have,
EXACTLY like they did for nearly 20 years with ADHD. In some locales as many as 1 in 5 children were on a drug to treat ADHD or ADD. Barbaric. Absolutely insane.

GENDER DYSPHORIA
While patience, support and careful listening to the child are the best “medicine” for a child exploring gender, children who clearly describe a transgender identity may require more active care. Many transgender children experience gender dysphoria — defined by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health as “discomfort or distress that is caused by a discrepancy between a person’s gender identity and their sex assigned at birth,” including their physical sex characteristics and the associated gender role.14 Gender dysphoria ranges from manageable to debilitating, causing problems with school performance and social interactions. Symptoms can include anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidality.15
Depending on the child’s age and signs of distress, “gender-affirmative” counseling or therapy can help manage gender dysphoria. However, in many cases, the remedy for dysphoria is gender transition: taking steps to affirm the gender that feels comfortable and authentic to the child. It is important to understand that, for children who have not reached puberty, gender transition involves no medical interventions at all: it consists of social changes like name, pronoun and gender expression.
While acceptance and affirmation at home can help a great deal, children do not grow up in a vacuum, so even children with supportive families may experience dysphoria. Nonetheless, families and doctors of transgender children often report that the gender transition process is transformative — even life-saving. Often, parents and clinicians describe remarkable improvements in the child’s psychological well-being.16
And I have nothing to learn from mumbo-jumbo pseudo scientist that contend there is no biological sex. That is a marker for me, as soon as they start saying sex is a state of mind, I am gone. The hilarious part is these same people go bananas because they say people refuse to look at the science of climate change, then themselves refuse to look at science and started inventing their own to match their desire to virtue signal.
