1)Please wake up LGB people. GENDER CLINICIANS ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS. This video will cover behaviors ranging from negligence to manipulation GD clinicians engage in to market, as safe, protocols that sterilize, ruin genitals, & damage LGB/het youth.

2)Gender clinicians admit they have forever destroyed the sexual function of all XYs given puberty blockers in Tanner 2 (10-12). My vids tend to be dry/informational. This is an angry rant. This is unambiguous child abuse. The effect was known in 2008. Kids can't consent to this.

3)Mature executive function isn't complete until age 25. Gender clinicians have sexually lobotomized scores of XY kids at ages where they had no sexual orientation & now never will. Est. are hard, but #s are hundreds for sure, could be thousands. & THEY AREN'T STOPPING THIS.

4)It’s obvious concern among these clinicians begins & ends w/ what they think is best for persister kids only, w/ hostility directed at concerns raised for desisters. But this sterilization/genital ruination/bone harming protocol is bad for the many Ts who want kids/love lives.

5)This is the most significant example of the failure of these gender clinicians to consider treating the “whole person" for their long-term emotional regulation, health, and future, as outspoken detransitioner Helena Kerschner @lacroicsz puts it.

6)No one, least of all gay/lesbian communities, should trust these reckless/incompetent people to identify “true trans” kids from potential developing LGB/het youth struggling w/ puberty. There is no evidence that most affirmative model gender clinicians care if they don’t.

7)Gender clinicians have various motivations. Most genuinely want to help a pop. w/ high rates of sadness/suicide risk who are loudly demanding these procedures. Some have messiah & god complexes. Some, disturbingly, may have fetishistic motivations, as @Genevieve_Gluck has shown

8)Regardless of motivation, this is what they do to market medicalizing tweens to parents, the public, & the gay/lesbian community as safe, healthy, & medically necessary to get them to support what has serious dangers to significant numbers of minors, especially LGB ones…

9)They:
-Overstate proof gender ID is innate
-Lie about/downplay desistance
-Claim social transitions are reversible w/ 0 proof
-Claim blockers are safe
-Manipulate legit suicide fear
-Do/push bad studies
-Trash people w/ valid concerns of dangers
-Engage in circular reasoning

10)"Gender ID is innate"- While some people have persistent GD, we know some kids w/ clinical GD outgrow it, social factors like homophobic bullying & unstable homes increase it & that other cultures would mock our SJW culture that says, "trans women are women."

11)Desistance denialism- If kids/teens may outgrow GD, then people aren’t going to want to chemically castrate them as young as 9. The gender clinician must convince the public that kids don’t desist despite research & clinical observations of remission of serious childhood GD.

12)"Social transitions are reversible"- Saying they know this is a blatant, bald-faced lie. These are PhDs trained in developmental psych. saying this. Don't buy they don't know who they are putting in danger of unneeded/extreme medical effects by socially transitioning gnc kids.

13)"Blockers are safe/reversible"- Every mental health/med. professional who has said this are quacks who deserve career damage. All affirmative model advocates have. They captured health institutions to put these lies in their guidelines/statements.

14)Suicide terrorizing- The only justification for sterilizing minors, harming bones, changing brain wiring, sexually lobotomizing them, & grooming pre-gay kids for medical butchery, all for aesthetic results, would be a life/death situation. Evidence is weak to contradictory.

15)Do/push terrible studies- There are weaknesses in justification for sterilizing/castrating minors in available studies. Many do show low regret/improved GD. Others indicate little improvement in overall functioning. Only happy narratives, even in FALSE STUDIES, will be pushed.

16)Trash people w/valid concerns for dangers- Seriously, I have watched these people for yrs approaching this open-mindedly. I was shocked to learn how appalling many act. They are sloppy, lie, express hostility towards desister youth, & align w/ creepy/unethical trans activists.

17)Circular reasoning- These types have formed the committees to write guidelines/public policy statements for MH/med. bodies that represent 1000s of professionals who know less about this complex issue THAN I DO (a bad thing). They then get to point back to them for validation.

18)If one believes these people hold any concerns about grooming pre-gay kids for medical defacement, amputating breasts off of girls who needed time to grow up, or if persisters may need healthier bodies too, all I can tell you is I have seen almost no evidence of that.

19)Gender clinicians carefully considering all facts & investing in pondering the ethics of the worst-case scenarios they gleefully inflicted now on scores of cognitively immature minors interfered with their warm feelings of moral righteousness & savior-ism.

20)Watch Anderson & Edwards-Leeper, who at least have ethics to express alarm, tell us we just need “better assessment.” Are you going to trust those who normalized kiddie “sex-changes," who didn’t bother considering the profound human rights crime of sexually ruining kids at 11?

21)Given that many harmed youths are (or would have been) ss-attracted, many LGB people find this extremely upsetting. I want to ask LGB people who support this protocol, instituted by people so reckless they failed to consider the depths of obvious harm, why you don't.

22)Are these clinicians making efforts to update medical guidelines/insuring correct statements about puberty blockers on websites IMMEDIATELY? Are they proactively getting the word out to the 8000 parents on FB Parents of T Children? Nope. Today, this is being done to more kids.

23)Be it motivated reasoning due to genuine compassion, a messiah complex, a god complex, or darker motivations, affirmative model advocates have been given an incredibly inappropriate amount of trust & power in Western societies they clearly never deserved.
