The US medical establishment is not the first to use artificial hormones as a form of #conversiontherapy. Meet Nazi dr Carl Vaernet, who implanted artificial hormone glands into gay men at Buchenwald. #antifascism

@PeterTatchell Alan Turing, a British scientist convicted of homosexual acts in 1952, was an early victim of hormonal #conversiontherapy. He was sentenced to #estrogen therapy, and died two years later, likely by suicide.

@PeterTatchell @yayitsrob This type of #conversiontherapy is even more prevalent in #Iran, where homosexual acts are punishable by death. Iranian #lesbians and #gay men are being pushed into “sex reassignment.”

@PeterTatchell @yayitsrob @BBCHamedani #ConversionTherapy is torture, even if the medical establishment manages to convince its victims that the procedure is in their best interest. #malpractice #homophobia (4/4)

Today, we’re taking a look at the effects of artificial testosterone on the female body. #Testosterone is prescribed to healthy female children at gender clinics across the US. Its side effects include #depression, type 2 diabetes, blood clots, and high cholesterol. (1/8) Image
A recent scientific study found that artificial testosterone also increases females’ risk of heart attack. Src: archive.is/xArCg #healthcare (2/8) Image
Artificial testosterone and artificial estrogen both increase the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) when used for “#transition.” That means higher risks for heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. Src: archive.is/CTq8q #health (3/8) Image

THREAD: Let’s talk about the HOW. How do “trans kids” #transition from healthy children to cash cows for Big Med? Let’s break down the process. (1/13)
The first step is the “affirmative model” of #therapy. When a child claims to be or wants to be the opposite sex, well-meaning parents may seek answers from a therapist. An “affirmative” therapist automatically labels the child "trans." (2/13)
It’s important to note that “affirmative” therapists don’t examine children’s #mentalhealth or question their ideas before making a decision. Instead, they “rubber-stamp” children’s psych evals. Src: (3/13)

Ever wonder what #pubertyblockers really are? They’re a class of drugs known as GnRH agonists, designed for prostate cancer and marketed for everything from endometriosis to #autism. And they have some horrifying side effects. (1/10)
The @US_FDA has received over 25,000 adverse event reports for one GnRH agonist in particular: #Lupron, now the most common drug prescribed as a “puberty blocker” in the US.

Src: archive.md/mbqF7; archive.is/DPMDF (2/10)
@US_FDA In the 2000s, Dr Mark Geier and his son David Geier used GnRH agonists as a snake-oil “cure” for #autism. The result? Kids who were chemically castrated, underdeveloped, possibly sterilized … and still #autistic. Sounds like eugenics, right? Src: archive.is/K0d9u (3/10)

Question of the day: What do hormone blockers, artificial hormones, and genital surgeries do for mental health? Let’s look at the scientific evidence. (1/12)
Known side effects of #pubertyblockers like Lupron incl. #depression, insomnia, and memory problems. Src: archive.md/knXWf (2/12)
The Tavistock @TaviAndPort gender clinic’s own records indicate that children experience a “‘statistically significant’ increase in suicide risk after taking blockers for a year.” Src: archive.is/zrIFB (3/12)

THREAD: #ConversionTherapy is still around, but in the 21st century, it’s being rebranded as progressive. Today, Lesbians United is delving into the rampant medical abuse of #lesbian and #gay youth in the US. (1/10)
The science is clear: girls who are attracted to other girls are being targeted for medicalization. This is #ConversionTherapy, plain and simple. Src: archive.is/ycDme #lesbianrights #SaveTheTomboys (2/10)
How are young lesbians being targeted? Through a DSM-V entry that treats non-conformity to stereotypes as a symptom of mental illness. Young #lesbians often fit this description. #SaveTheTomboys (3/10)

Children can’t #consent to sex. Children can’t consent to sexual experiments. Children can’t consent to sexual mutilation. #SaveTheTomboys (1/3)
The majority of children being asked to “consent” to sexual medical #abuse will grow up lesbian or gay. Homophobic medical experiments aren’t just for Nazi doctors anymore. Now, they’re #woke. (2/3)
Would you rather have a healthy #lesbian daughter, or a #BigPharma-dependent facsimile of a straight son? #SaveTheTomboys (3/3)
