"You need tissue, genital tissue, to create that vagina. And if we are taking an 11-year-old boy, who does not have a lot of genital tissue and blocking puberty right there, we’re preventing the growth of the vagina for down the road."
On calcium deficiency:
"The puberty blockers slow that calcium accrual back into the bones quite a bit, back to the prepubertal level."
"This is a concern that not everybody is getting their piggy bank completely filled up with calcium.”
On the unknown impact of puberty suppression on brain development:
“They seem to do reasonably the same as their friends but we’re not looking at their IQ and their learning ability and lots of other things.”
On Puberty Blockers being more invasive than portrayed in media:
“Oh puberty blockers are just reversible and it’s a very noninvasive treatment,’ I would say it’s more invasive than often times the media makes it out to be or other people.”
🧵EXCLUSIVE: Docs Reveal How America’s Biggest Abortion Provider Took Over Sex Ed, Pushed LGBT Ideology In Schools
My latest on Planned Parenthood’s push to bring gender ideology to schools.
A Planned Parenthood regional office partnered with a Pennsylvania school district to provide gender ideology infused sexual education and run an after school LGBTQ+ program where students and young adults, ages 14 to 21, paint naked “transgender” bodies, participate in Condom Olympics, and play queer jeopardy — all with full approval from the school board.
The Reading School District partnered with Planned Parenthood Keystone in March 2022, when the school board voted to approve a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) agreement outlining that Planned Parenthood Keystone would provide sex education for high school students that was “inclusive of all gender identities” and helps students understand gender identity in “open, non-stigmatizing ways” and run and after school LGBTQ+ club for students and young adults ages 14-21.
🧵Hospital Scrubs Notorious Child Sex Change Clinic From Website As Gender Industrial Complex Goes In Full Retreat
Another child sex-change webpage bites the dust. This time it’s the gender clinic run by Jason Rafferty.
The Hasbro Children’s Hospital, an affiliate of Brown University Health, has removed a webpage publicizing their pediatric gender clinic services, which included puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, from its website.
The Medical Director of the Hasbro Children’s Hospital Gender and Sexuality Program, Jason Rafferty, is the lead author of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) child sex-change policy, which supports the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex-change surgeries.
🧵This year, the @DailyCaller News Foundation has uncovered how the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has been captured by transgender ideology through a series of public records requests.
Here is round up what we found:
1. EXCLUSIVE: Top Doctors Complain Detransitioners Posed ‘Harm’ To Trans Members At Medical Conference
Top gender doctors complained that transgender attendees at the AAP conference in 2023 felt unsafe because of “anti-trans activists” and detransitioners at the event, according to emails exclusively obtained by the DCNF.
🧵EXCLUSIVE: Here’s How A Small Band Of Pediatricians Pushed Medical Org Into Nixing Age Minimums For Sex Changes
Based on the four doctors’ review, the AAP strong-armed WPATH into removing sex-change surgery age minimums from the SOC-8. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Emails reveal the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) asked just four doctors — all of whom are considered leaders in the field of pediatric sex changes and have performed various transgender procedures — to review and provide feedback on an embargoed copy of the World Professional Association of Transgender Health’s (WPATH) clinical guidance, called the Standards of Care version 8 (SOC-8), weeks before its expected publication.
In an amicus brief submitted in the upcoming Supreme Court case United States v. Skrmetti, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall explains that Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine — who is openly transgender — had unsuccessfully pressured WPATH to remove the surgical age minimums, but the pressure from the AAP “tipped the scales,” causing WPATH to remove the child sex-change surgery age minimums.
🧵The Biden-Harris Administration ‘War On Families’
The Biden-Harris embrace of transgender ideology puts parents who don’t affirm their child’s gender confusion at risk of being labeled ‘abusive.’
Across the country ‘non-affirming’ parents are losing custody of their kids.
In December, @katesrichardson reported on a document I discovered on a federal government website.
A federally funded “home visiting” program advised service providers to watch for signs of abuse against “gender-diverse children” like not letting a young child cross-dress.
The document was guidance for the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program which is intended to combat abuse and neglect while promoting “positive parenting” and school readiness among “pregnant people and families.”
