The Gender-Identity Affirming Model of Care — used to justify child abuse at gender clinics all over the world — is based on a Netherlands study that only included kids with EARLY-ONSET gender dysphoria, and who had an absence of comorbidities such as depression..
Applying the same treatments to youth who suddenly present with RAPID-ONSET gender dysphoria — in addition to other mental health disorders — is medical malpractice and criminal negligence.
Furthermore, as @LisaLittman1 writes in her very important research, the current recommendations for treating kids with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries are based on very low-quality evidence.
More on the Dutch Protocol, its extremely small evidence base, and how even its recommendations are being ignored can be heard in this excellent video from December, 2020, by Michael Biggs.
Due to a publication ban, the father can only be referred to in Canada as C.D.
He has pleaded guilty to violating a gag order by speaking out, naming the doctors involved, and publishing documents like this consent form that his daughter signed when she was only 13 years old.
As devastating as her account is, Shrier leaves the reader with hope.
She advises parents to find support groups of other parents dealing with the same issue; avoid giving children a smartphone, and push back against the gender ideology infusing their daughters’ education. 2/7
Above all, she writes, parents should not relinquish their parental authority, and should stop supporting these new fads unquestionably. 3/7
Looks like Canada’s conversion therapy bill — which will effectively stop professional therapists (and anyone else) from doing talk therapy with gender dysphoric children — is about to come to its final vote in the House.
This bill is based on a lie that gender identity never changes, and in spite of a monumental amount of evidence submitted which refutes its false premise, Trudeau’s Liberals and the NDP are just going to force it through.
Counsellors, parents, etc. will face up to 5 years in prison if they are deemed to be trying to convert a child’s gender identity.
But it’s totally fine under this bill for a woke teacher to indoctrinate a girl who’s a tomboy into believe she’s an actual boy.
