UK trial ordeal; reputational damage Down Under; smears and attacks hither and yon; the Siren song of Germany's guideline; Alberta advances its ban; US bishops say No; Norway debates puberty blockers
In the course of less than a decade Denmark experienced an exponential increase in the number of young people presenting with gender dysphoria. In 2014, there were 4 paediatric cases requesting gender reassignment.
By 2022, the number of referrals grew by 8700% to 352
. . . Following systematic reviews of evidence conducted in Europe and the subsequent reversal of the “gender-affirmation” paradigm in favour of a cautious, developmentally-informed approach, that prioritises non-invasive support with counselling rather than puberty blockers, hormones, or surgery.
Today, only 6% of the referrals are approved for hormonal transition, and no minors are allowed to transition surgically.
I Reference yet another of the multitude of studies confirming the dreadful long-term outcome for those poor souls undergoing ‘gender affirmation surgery ’titled:
‘Risk of Suicide and Self-Harm Following Gender-Affirmation Surgery’
Cureus April 2024
. . . With the growing acceptance of transgender individuals, the number of gender affirmation surgeries has increased:
Transgender individuals face elevated depression rates, leading to an increase in suicide ideation and attempts. This study evaluates the risk of suicide or self-harm associated with gender affirmation procedures.
Patients who had a history of gender-affirmation surgery had a 12.12 times greater risk of suicide attempts vs. patients who had no history of gender-affirmation surgery.
In patients with a history of gender-affirmation surgery, there was a 3.35 times greater risk of being deceased
Patients with a history of gender-affirmation surgery had a 9.88 times higher risk of self-harm or suicide
. . . . and all the while the ABC has advised us:
“Dr Telfer is credited with helping to save many children's lives without pulling out a single scalpel or tending to any life-threatening diseases”.
With regard to the proposed “ trial” in the U.K., those comments from Hannah Barnes and Andrew Doyle make sense . The only fair assessment would be via a double blinded randomized controlled structured trial which would present its own ethical difficulties, which might explain what is proposed ?
There is not a single report I can find that a male who was given GnRH suppression at puberty for any length of time was ever able to resume normal sexual maturity, or could produce sperm.
It’s not that there is bad data on that topic, it operates purely to sterilize and render a child a permanent juvenile for life, completely dependent on ordinary adults to support them in a permanently stunted form.

Wow, thank you for compiling and reporting all this!!!
What horror this all is. Especially Wes Streeting’s research.
With regard to the proposed “ trial” in the U.K., those comments from Hannah Barnes and Andrew Doyle make sense . The only fair assessment would be via a double blinded randomized controlled structured trial which would present its own ethical difficulties, which might explain what is proposed ?
Yes. I wonder what other possible designs were considered.
I’ve been searching for data on a single thing:
There is not a single report I can find that a male who was given GnRH suppression at puberty for any length of time was ever able to resume normal sexual maturity, or could produce sperm.
It’s not that there is bad data on that topic, it operates purely to sterilize and render a child a permanent juvenile for life, completely dependent on ordinary adults to support them in a permanently stunted form.
Surgeon Marcie Bowers said all males blocked at tanner stage 2 had proven incapable of orgasm.
100% - my reading was to find the minimum time which was recoverable - there isn’t any. Bowen was anecdotal.
These institutions should be shut down over “reversible”.
