Unreal. Our children were the guinea pigs in this social-medical experiment at Kaiser Permanente here in northern California.
In this "pilot study" conducted by the KP Division of Research in 2018-2019, adolescent patients from 12 to 18 yrs old were asked at routine Well Visits these 3 questions:
(1) “What is your gender?”
(2) “What sex were you assigned at birth?” and
(3) “If your gender is different from your assigned sex at birth, have you discussed this with your parent(s)?”
Pediatricians were instructed to discuss the child’s transgender identity with the child before the parent entered the exam room.
This is how Kaiser @aboutKP groom*d our children and broke apart normal parent-child bonds. 🧵

According to the Kaiser study, pediatricians are “well-positioned to screen adolescents for their gender identity and intervene.”
They are seen as “trusted professionals.”
Advice is given to pediatricians to discuss a child’s transgender identity in private when the parent is not in the exam room, especially “when parents may not be aware or accepting of the adolescent’s gender identity.”

This is how you plant the seed.
The pilot clinics added three gender identity questions to the adolescent portion of the Teen Well Check Questionnaire:
(1) What is your gender?” (2) “What sex were you assigned at birth?” and (3) “If your gender is different from your assigned sex at birth, have you discussed this with your parent(s)/guardian(s)?”
"Responses to the gender identity screen were then discussed in detail during the confidential portion of the visit before the parents entered the examination room."

Perhaps the most terrifying part of this Kaiser "pilot study," is that kids were 7x more likely to declare a transgender identity (and start down the path of medical transition) when asked these 3 questions.
“Of 817 teens screened as part of the pilot, 1.3% reported being transgender or gender diverse, compared with 0.2% of those in usual care."
