"Side effects from puberty blockers range from headaches to serious conditions like brain swelling and vision loss. The safety of puberty blockers and other gender-affirming care has not been established, and parents should research risks before making decisions."
But what's to stop trans-identified youth from seeking asylum in Canada, and getting their surgeries paid for by the Canadian government? Their new Prime Minister has a transgender child, after all, so he's hardly going to turn them away.
I am hopeful and happy for the children and parents in the US. Unfortunately, Canada is now barrelling in the opposite direction as a result of Monday’s devastating election results. It’s the only issue that matters to me. Our children will continue to be lied to and harmed and the nightmare now seems endless.
We're in the same boat in Australia, Grace. We go to the polls on Saturday, and sadly it's unlikely whoever wins will do what Trump has done in the US on this issue. Meanwhile, the activists are working hard to maintain their false narrative.
I pray that this is absolute truth! For awareness, there are two emails for the Whitehouse, feel free to send anything to them. I have. 1) president@whitehouse.gov and 2) www.whitehouse.gov/contact. This is one issue I have emailed about, and how my state is pushing DEI and men in girls sports, as well as the AG of our state is suing one of our own sheriffs for working with ICE. Unreal. All of this is currently being investigated. Please email away!
I suggest if possible, in addition to president Trump, address your emails to Attorney General of the United States (Pam Bondi); to Secretary of Health and Human Services (Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ), and to Commissioner of Food and Drugs (Dr. Marty Makary). Pam Bondi because can direct Department of Justice to prosecute, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. because he can govern funding such as Medicaid, and Dr Makary because he can govern prescriptions of hormones and puberty blockers.
It's a GRAND and GLORIOUS start, no doubt about it! But, it won't bring my husband back from his death from a heart attack - 2& 1/2 months after our son declared he should be a female. Neither will it restore the years of pain and separation this permanently fractured family has endured. What fueled this deception? How can we make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
We have try our best, and trust in G-d to help us overcome the obstacles that seem too great. If the white house does not respond, G-d already knows what is in our emails and will respond. If we don’t know what to write, if we are in such a loss of hope that we don’t know what to pray, G-d knows what we would have prayed and makes that prayer for us.
Allison, could you please write Dr. Miriam Grossman and tell her your story? She’s researching the suffering of parents and I know she would want to read your story. Please email her at: <miriamgrossmanmd@proton.me>
I so much want this memo from Pam Bondi to be true. But I am having trouble believing the memo exists. I see it reported on a cnn website, and “The hill”website, but i have not seen the actual memo on the white house or the DoJ web pages. If it there please let me know. I don’t trust CNN to get the story straight. Did Pam Bondi make a public announcement? How does CNN know about this memo?
This is hopefully just a start. Everyone needs to be protected from gender ideology. Children, young adults and older adults. My ideal is it is very difficult to get medicine and surgeries. I know I don't think anyone should have it, but if there is "real" therapy and extra long waiting times for adults over 25. I don't want my health insurance to pay for this. Right now, my daughter, 22, is covered by my insurance and she is getting testosterone and soon to have double mastectomy. If I wanted DD breasts, I'm pretty sure insurance wouldn't cover it! It's cosmetic and harming, not healthcare, no matter what they say.
Prescribing the hormones is just as wrong as the surgeries & I too would like to see it applied to the young adult male cohort who got sucked in during the co vid years. Holding those accountable is my biggest wish.
I hope the loopholes get explored & exposed (I d ing as the opposite sex so that the doctor can code the hormones as necessary due to endocrine deficiency, not the truth that you have abnormally low levels of oestrogen because you’re actually a boy)
I also don’t see how this can be justified under cosmetic surgery. The surgeries remove form of function. They cause harm to otherwise healthy body parts. As Eithan Haim once said, If someone has a ‘nose job’ the nose still functions as a nose. Not so with GAC.
This gender junk medicine must be called out now at every chance--this is the moment when it's collapsing, and we are not just here for it, we are pushing and pressing for its demise.
António Egas Moniz (1874-1955) thought mental illness originated from abnormal neural connections in the frontal lobe. He observed "changes in character and personality" among soldiers with injuries to their frontal lobes, hypothesising that surgically removing white matter fibers from the frontal lobe would improve a patient's mental illness. Moniz's first psychosurgery, in 1935, was on a 63-year-old woman with depression, anxiety and paranoia. She experienced a rapid physical recovery, and two months later, a psychiatrist noted that she was calmer, less paranoid, and well oriented. In the first set of surgeries, Moniz reported a total of '7 cures, 7 improvements, and 6 unchanged cases'. Critics accused Moniz of 'understating complications, providing inadequate documentation, and not following up with patients'. After his initial procedures, other physicians, adopted a modified technique in the USA and renamed it 'lobotomy' where it became widespread under the charismatic guidance of Walter Jackson Freeman II (1895-1972) who toured the USA visiting mental institutions. After four decades Freeman had personally performed possibly as many as 4,000 lobotomies on patients as young as 4, despite the fact that he had no formal surgical training. As many as 100 of his patients died of cerebral haemorrhage. Freeman was finally banned from performing surgery in 1967. Freeman's procedures spread across the world. In Egas Moniz' native Portugal, Moniz remains highly esteemed, even featuring on banknotes and stamps; his statue standing before Lisbon University's Faculty of Medicine; his country house a museum. In 1949 Moniz was awarded the Nobel Prize "for his discovery of the therapeutic value of leucotomy”.
A ban on FGM is a law that is already in place. So, if there were any minor girls who were being mutilated genitally, that law would apply. I don't think there are girls who are having phalloplasty procedures as minors. However, by Bondi using this law as an example, she seems to be signaling strongly where she wants legislation to go.
Fingers crossed. Saying prayers.
Just saw this on the CHD website, parents need to know this.

This is very frightening:
"Side effects from puberty blockers range from headaches to serious conditions like brain swelling and vision loss. The safety of puberty blockers and other gender-affirming care has not been established, and parents should research risks before making decisions."

About time! I really hope this works. And as we knew all along, we were right about children and we were right about women too: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/we-told-you-so

Thank you. I have emailed my concerns. We need to flood them with specifics that can be investigated. Did you ever get a response?
No, no responses. But I see action happening probably from a whole lot of people from this state sending messages!
Love it. Not a moment too soon.

Amazing and wonderful news! I feel like crying - and I am not even personally affected.

We took our daughter off of our insurance when she began taking testosterone. We did not affirm, so why should we pay?

FYI, here is the actual report. It was commissioned by POTUS and HHS, and directed and done by brilliant and well informed people on our side. The report is extensive, based on all the solid research available to date, and it covers males and females. https://opa.hhs.gov/gender-dysphoria-report?fbclid=IwY2xjawKAiMVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFQamlTUzZBMGR2TUVRdHI4AR5gXckoWdoI2z5xNf1FZ-wgMaQqZM2CyoLgHA6X6OqB3_5lZZTnI2UKQxX2cQ_aem_DhPyE-f4jdHO6cNrS9BbmQ
Thank you for posting the link. It is so validating to parents, detransitioners, and professionals who tried to speak up about this!
Thank you for the link.

Why only female genital mutilation?
A ban on FGM is a law that is already in place. So, if there were any minor girls who were being mutilated genitally, that law would apply. I don't think there are girls who are having phalloplasty procedures as minors. However, by Bondi using this law as an example, she seems to be signaling strongly where she wants legislation to go.
I'm aware of that. We're talking about a law pertaining to this. Your defense isn't valid for their lack of effort in research.
That was just a memo. Have you read the actual report? It is extensive, covers all the research available to date and it covers males and females. I don't see how anyone can say there is a lack of effort in research after reading this report. https://opa.hhs.gov/gender-dysphoria-report?fbclid=IwY2xjawKAiMVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFQamlTUzZBMGR2TUVRdHI4AR5gXckoWdoI2z5xNf1FZ-wgMaQqZM2CyoLgHA6X6OqB3_5lZZTnI2UKQxX2cQ_aem_DhPyE-f4jdHO6cNrS9BbmQ
That's great. So put the research language in the bill.
It does look extensive, Marie. Can’t wait to read the whole thing.
This must be so exhausting. I thank you for all the stories and bringing this horror to light.
