Hormones for children: the world revolts

Arkansas, and soon Texas and Tennessee. Sweden, Finland, UK, Australia: the number of western countries abandoning drug treatment for 'gender non-conforming' children is growing. And the prestigious Lancet is calling for a reconsideration of these 'therapies' which continue to be prescribed in Italy. It's time to give battle

An article in the prestigious Lancet Child & Adolescent Health (see here) proposes greater caution in the use of puberty blockers on children diagnosed as gender dysphoric.

According to Lancet Child & Adolescent Health further research is needed to determine the best treatment of children who received this diagnosis, particularly for those in whom the disorder only manifested itself after puberty.

The genre is a highly politicised theme and any scientific article that poses a threat to mainstream narratives is generally withdrawn, subjected to a further round of peer review and correction, or more likely rejected. Significantly, therefore, this time Lancet published.

Arkansas was the first US state to ban the use of blockers for minorsand similar laws are being studied in Tennessee and in TexasScepticism about these drugs is growing around the world, and policymakers are starting to take notice. In 2020, theEnglish High Court established that children under 16 are unlikely to consent to treatment involving puberty blockers (judgment Keira Bell, currently under appeal). Sweden and Finland today returned to psychological interventions for children with gender dysphoria

Meanwhile thousands of American paediatricians have mobilised against puberty blockers, even promoting a case against the Biden administration, while in Australia some clinics require the approval of a court to proceed with hormone therapies on minors to avoid the risk of future legal action: the risk of losing money is an effective disincentive for transacting.

Also in Australia, the first clinic for the treatment of de-transitioners, The aim is to offer specialised care and supportive therapy to those who regret the transition they have undergone.

Again, in the UK: a mother, Sara Hertzaddressed to doctors aarticulate and reasoned letter entitled "Doctors, it's time. Primum, non nocere"against the transition of minors, while Sonia Appleby, head of child protection for Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust - a London-based clinic specialising in child transitions. won a case against the British health service and was compensated for the treatment she received from the administration after she had expressed her concern ".that some young children are actively encouraged to be transgender without effective monitoring of their situation"..

On the risk of abuse had already broken the silence the dean of Tavistock, the psychiatrist David Bell.

All over the West the wind is changing, but at the moment nothing is moving in Italy.

In our country, puberty blockers continue to be administered with a simple medical diagnosis and without the intervention of a court. And in recent days the news of a 16-year-old from Lucca authorised by the court to change sex at the civil register office, possibly even resorting to 'rectification' surgery.

An urgent reconnaissance on the number ofminors treated in Italy, currently unknown, a clarification on the protocols that are applied, in addition to careful verification of the grooming -grooming and indoctrination on gender identity- on the social networks most frequented by young people, such as Instagram and TikTok-.

The following should also be urgently addressed Italian Society of Paediatrics, the Italian Society of Endocrinology and the Order of Psychologists to urge them to take a stand on the basis of the established fact that the effects of puberty blockers are by no means reversible, as by tenacious propaganda, not to mention the possible iatrogenic pathologies induced by these drugs.

To finally arrive at a law which, as is now the case in many western states, severely limits or prohibits the use of hormone blockers for gender non-conforming minors, first of all by promoting freedom from stereotypes -this is the first battlefield against the child transition industry- and favouring - where there is suffering - psychotherapy.

UK: out of women's hospital wards men who 'identify' as women
The woke initiative of the British Medical Association, which ordered its members to stop using the terms 'woman' and 'mother', is being answered by the Sunak government, which is reinstating the biological sex criterion and abandoning the gender identity criterion in the health service. Why we need to return to common sense
The battle rages in the UK over the physical and symbolic spaces reserved for women. The British General Medical Council, which in its guidelines ordered the deletion of the words 'woman' and 'mother', is shortly to be answered by the Sunak government's initiative to reinstate the biological sex criterion and abandon gender identity in the health service: MtF transsexuals -that is, biologically male- will no longer be housed in women's hospital wards even if they identify as women.

Buying and selling human embryos and foetuses: first EU yes
A draft European Parliament (SoHo) regulation approved by a majority of Liberals, Socialists and Greens definitively opens up the cross-border market for 'substances of human origin' including gametes, embryos and foetuses. With the risk that national legislations may be bypassed by virtue of Brussels' instructions
The European Parliament approved in the first instance a proposal for a regulation that equates human embryos with cells and tissues, calling them 'substances of human origin', and opens the door to eugenics and industrial uses. The proposed regulation on quality and safety standards for substances of human origin intended for human application (or SoHO regulation) was approved on 12 September by a large majority of socialists, greens and liberals, despite the alarm raised by various expert organisations. Officially the [...]

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 [...].
