Denmark is also backtracking on puberty blockers for children confused about their sex: the Danish health system will henceforth offer psychological therapies and no longer drugs to adolescents who have not reported discomfort with their birth sex since childhood. This was announced by Health Minister Sophie Løhde during a parliamentary debate that rejected a proposal by the populist Nye Borgerlige (New Zealand) party to completely ban gender transition for minors.

Amsterdam University Clinic UMC, a pioneer in the use of puberty blockers, has admitted that children taking these drugs may find themselves locked into increased medicalisation. The admission comes following the publication earlier this month of a new retrospective study examining 20 years of hormonal interventions known as the 'Dutch protocol', conducted on 1,766 children and adolescents between 1972 and 2018 at the famed Amsterdam clinic and published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. But [...]

CLOSES TAVISTOCK, CHILDREN'S TRANSITION CLINIC: 'AFFIRMATIVE' APPROACH (DRUGS AND SURGERY) IS DANGEROUS FOR YOUNG PATIENTS The news is sensational: the British National Health Service (NHS) has ordered the closure of the Tavistock & Portman gender clinic for failing to ensure the safety of young patients, most of whom are girls (full article here). The clinic has been accused by several parties of hastily initiating many minors, most of them suffering from spectrum disorders [...].

Great Britain, Australia, Texas, Iowa and other US states, and now Sweden: the pioneer countries in the transition of minors treated with puberty blockers before development, put the brakes on abruptly and point to psychological and psychiatric therapies as the first approach to dysphoria in girls and boys. In Italy, on the other hand, the use of puberty blockers does not stop, and there is a complete lack of data on the number of minors and protocols applied. The Swedish decision, anticipated by the Karolinska [...]

Maternity, work, uterus for rent, gender identity, transition of minors, women's health, male violence, prostitution, politics and elections, women in the South, ecological transition. These are some of the issues addressed during the meeting attended by Alessandra Bocchetti, Monica Ricci Sargentini, Veronica Tamborini, Manuela Ulivi, Ilaria Baldini, Luana Zanella, Daniela Dioguardi, Marina Terragni, Assuntina Morresi, Elvira Reale. These are the objectives of the political work of the next few months: if anyone is interested in taking part in this work, choosing one of [...]

One of the most brilliant tactics used by the gender industry in its fight to dismantle human sexual dimorphism for the profit of the techno-medical complex (TMC) has been to combine its agenda of promoting body disassociation with the progressive human rights movement for LGB people. This is particularly evident in a current lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) against the state of Arkansas. The ACLU is using a $15 million donation from [...]

In France, parents who question the 'transition' and gender identity of their minor children may lose their parental authority The new law - orwellianally called 'against conversion therapies' - provides for three years' imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 euros for professionals who do not obey the wishes of minors. Families who object may lose their parental authority. In fact, a Trojan horse law to introduce the ideology of gender identity into the legal system. The case of Robert Hoogland, father [...]

Since we founded Our Duty in 2018, we have collected the experiences of parents with children who would like to put themselves on a path that ends in mutilation, sterilisation, loss of sexual function and regret, throughout their lives. Their testimonies reveal how children are encouraged to embrace a transgender identity by other pupils, with the connivance of teachers and often deliberately without the knowledge of their parents. [...] We begin with the testimony of a mother of a boy [...].

Abigail Shrier's interview with two experts in the treatment of gender dysphoria, who are themselves transgender, and who have questioned the standard procedures currently used on girls and boys, has been making the rounds. They are Marci Bowers, a surgeon specialising in vaginoplasty and penis inversion, and Erica Anderson, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco's 'Gender Clinic for Children and Adolescents'. Both were born men and did [...]

A group of more than 3,000 paediatricians sued the Biden administration over its reinterpretation of the Affordable Care Act that requires doctors to provide drugs and surgeries to 'gender transition' minors. In May, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that its Office for Civil Rights would interpret and apply Section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act differently: prohibiting [...]

The phenomenon of transition appears to have changed profoundly over the last thirty years. The main change - though not the only one - concerns the biological sex of the people who decide to transition, today more females than males. Once upon a time, female-to-male FtMs were an absolute rarity. The proportions were roughly one FtM for every hundred MtF, and even then they were two anthropologically different and distant worlds. Today FtMs constitute the clear majority of early transitions -7-8 cases out of 10- and [...]

Fear of legal disputes over gender transition treatments for minors is growing: specialised gender clinics, which have seen their profits soar in recent years, are starting to take precautions to avoid possible future financial disruption. The alarm sounded in faraway Australia last January but has only now come to light, thanks to an anomalous dispute that has revealed a major concern on the part of professionals, despite the [...]
