Even adult men can hardly tolerate it, and we're giving it to 11-year-old children?

What are the risks associated with gender-affirming treatments for children?
It's not necessarily your fault if you have fallen into debt. Let me share a smarter, faster, far easier way out of debt. It's called done with debt, and they are not like other debt relief companies. They don't push loans or bankruptcy on you. Done with debt has legendary negotiators who go head to head with your credit card and loan companies. They have one goal, to drastically reduce or eliminate your debt altogether. They move lightning fast. Most clients see more money in their pocket month one. But a word to the wise, hurry, because some of their debt-erasing strategies are time-sensitive. Consider talking to a done-with-debt strategist before you make another bill payment. It's free. Visit donewithdebt.com.
That's donewithdebt.com, donewithdebt.com. In January, President Trump signing an executive order titled Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation, marking a major step toward a key priority of the administration, ending what it calls a dangerous medical trend harming America's youth. Among its directives, a full scientific review of current medical guidance. That review, released in early May, a 409-page report titled treatment for pediatric gender dysphoria, review of evidence, and best practices. According to the report, quote, an estimated 3.3% of adolescents in the U.S. identify as transgender, and an additional 2.2% question whether they might be. A growing number of these minors receiving drastic, often permanent, medical interventions pitched as necessary, even life-saving. The report covering the risks, outcomes, and scientific basis behind puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender surgeries on children, ultimately concluding that the evidence supporting these treatments is low-quality,
and the potential for irreversible harm is high. It also includes testimony from whistleblowers who say children are being rushed into life-altering procedures without proper safeguards. One chapter taking aim at major medical groups like the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, known as WPATH, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Endocrine Society for using vague, ideologically loaded language that obscures biological reality. Quote, "...proponents of medicalization go to extraordinary lengths to avoid the plain use of the words male and female,"
How does the report challenge medical organizations' language?
and related words such as boy and girl. When sex is defined, the definition is rarely correct, and in any case, the preferred phrase is sex assigned at birth. That's a phrase HHS says is medically inaccurate. Medical organizations endorse this vague language as a means of destigmatizing gender dysphoria and promoting what they call gender-affirming care. But the report argues this language manipulation is misleading, ideologically driven, and obscures the biological reality at the heart of the debate. We spoke to Dr. Itan Haim, one of the whistleblowers cited in the report. He says this language is not just misleading, it is deliberately deceptive.
Sex assigned at birth is another euphemism they use to bully people into ignoring what they know to be true. Like that's a completely insane, non-medical, it's essentially witchcraft. Gender affirming care is a meaningless phrase that has no definition. They never define gender. They never define affirming. And then it's unclear how they're caring for these patients. So that's one thing I think that's great about this HHS report is that they use language that better defines what's actually happening.
