Denmark: no more hormones for children! Even trans people say so

After the UK, Sweden, Finland, Norway and the Netherlands also Denmark says stop to puberty blockers for gender non-conforming girls: those drugs are experimental and there is no scientific evidence that they work. But here the government initiative is supported by important LGBT associations: this is the first time it has happened. And in Italy? You cannot even know how many minors are treated

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

Denmark thus joins Sweden, Finland, Norway and the Netherlands, countries that are pioneers in gender transition and have been banning the use of puberty blockers and hormones of the opposite sex on minors, recognising them as experimental and unsubstantiated treatments.

But the relevant fact is that in Denmark the call for an end to the medical transition of minors is led by one of the largest LGBT groups mainstream of the country, the Danish Rainbow Council, launched in 2022 and chaired by transsexual FtoM Marcus Dib Jensen, known for his English-language YouTube channel The Offensive Tranny. This is the first time that a firm criticism of so-called affirmative therapy has come from trans people themselves. The organisation is committed to the protection of children and the recognition of gender dysphoria as a mental disorder and opposes the drifts of gender ideology.

"It is important to realise how significant it is that well the children's 80% who previously underwent gender reassignment surgery now, in the words of the minister, will no longer be able to undergo this controversial and irreversible treatment'. stated the Vice-President of the Danish Rainbow Council Jesper W. Rasmussen.

Minister Løhde stated that the Sexology Clinic -the gender clinic main Copenhagen hospital, at the specialised Rigshospitalet- will only offer drug treatment 'if the child or adolescent has had gender dysphoria since childhood', whereas "if gender dysphoria has started at the same time as puberty, the young person may be referred to, among others, a process of reflection or clarification", said Løhde. "This process is often carried out without medical treatment, as it is not considered indicated."

These measures will therefore concern the largest group of patients in gender clinics: girls and young girls who, on the threshold of puberty, suddenly manifest discomfort with their female body (see here for the difference between MtoF and FtoM transition).

"After the minister's statements," say the Danish Rainbow "we have received several e-mails from relieved parents of children with ROGD (rapid onset gender dysphoria) and in the coming months we will monitor whether these children continue to be free from hormonal sex reassignment, regularly requesting access to the treatment statistics of the Sexology Clinic'.

UK, you can no longer say 'woman' or 'mother': woke provisions of the General Medical Council
Decision of unprecedented violence by the British Medical Register: the word woman must be deleted at every level. It cannot even be mentioned when discussing motherhood, childbirth, breastfeeding, menopause. Even 999, the emergency number, can no longer ask what sex the person asking for help is. The woke know very well that the female body is the main obstacle to the transhuman project. And they want to erase it even in language
It keeps happening: women and mothers must also be erased from the vocabulary, at every level. They do not give up because the maternal symbolic is the most resistant obstacle to the transhuman project. We will not give up either. Forget it The General Medical Council -the public body that maintains the official register of doctors in the UK- has replaced the word 'mother' with neutral terms in its maternity guide for staff. The updated guide for employees who become pregnant omits [...]

Female wombs in male bodies
The envious dream of all time -to be able to have children without women, to erase mothers, in short, the Grail- is getting closer and closer to being realised: in five to ten years' time, even biologically male trans people will be able to receive a womb transplant and conduct a gestation. An 'inclusive' wish-right that would improve their quality of life and alleviate the symptoms of dysphoria. While the lives and health of girls and boys born from these practices are of no concern to bioethicists
Euronews reports on the rapid progress of research on the uterus transplantation front, with particular reference to the request of trans MtF people whose bodies remain biologically male, while FtM people, if they retain their female genital apparatus, can undertake a pregnancy like any other woman: the 'pregnant fathers' that the mainstream press likes to report on are none other than women who self-identify as men. In the article, which we translate here, women are referred to as cis- women, suffixed [...]

Appeal to the FDA: no more silence on puberty-blocking drugs
A petition asks the US drug agency -which has never authorised the off-label use of these substances for girls and boys with dysphoria- to counter the misinformation that propagates these treatments as effective and safe and to demand studies to prove it.Between 207 and 2021, the number of minors treated has more than doubled and the FDA can no longer pretend it is blind.
On his site Gender Clinic News Bernard Lane reports on an important petition to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, US drug regulator) to take urgent action on the unapproved (off label) use of hormone suppressant drugs to block puberty in girls and boys who identify as transgender. Although this use has never been approved by the FDA, it is not possible for the agency to ignore the possible harm to minors who are subjected to these [...].

Greece, womb and baby trafficking: babies 'kidnapped', couples stuck waiting
Team from the Mediterranean Fertility Institute in Crete arrested on suspicion of human and gamete trafficking, fraud and forgery. Many dozens of poor women from Eastern Europe persuaded to allow themselves to be exploited in order to supply children to mostly Australian principals
The Mediterranean Fertility Institute, a surrogacy clinic in Crete, was raided by the police on suspicion of human trafficking and fraud, and the entire medical team was arrested and taken to prison on charges of child trafficking.

Spain: inmate pregnant with trans cellmate
The man -intact male body and no hormone therapy- had asked and obtained to be moved to the women's prison in Alicante because he 'self-perceived' to be a woman (self-id). A cellmate's pregnancy was the result. And the new Ley Trans, in force since December 2022, will make such transfers easier and more frequent
In the Alicante Cumplimiento Penitentiary Centre, known as Fontcalent Prison, an inmate identifying himself as a woman impregnated a cellmate. According to the account confirmed by several prison sources, the inmate had been serving a sentence in the male module of the prison for several years, but during his stay he started to identify himself as a woman. On his papers he continues to appear as a man and has never undergone hormone treatment, let alone surgery. [...]

Escaping trans madness
'I want it to be known that there is hope. Young people with 'gender dysphoria' and their families can be helped with a psychological course,' writes American psychiatrist Miriam Grossman in her latest book. Explaining in detail and empathically her therapeutic proposal. And indicating in the hammering propaganda of the transcult the most insidious obstacle
Miriam Grossman is an American psychiatrist. The following is an edited extract published by Gender Clinic News of her new essay Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness. It is a very interesting and 'empathetic' read, especially for those families facing the problem of a teenage daughter/daughter with 'gender discomfort'. James sports a scruffy beard. Sarah wears skirts and doesn't bother with pronouns. Taylor wants to talk about college, not the [...]
