I have been saying for months that Federal law is required to end the grotesque practice of permanent gender change operations (chemical or otherwise) across the country.
We need to take this decision out of the hands of mentally ill leftists and crazy politicians. Let the kids reach age 18 as God intended them to.
This is Sandy Smith, and I am against mutilating little children! Shockingly, some NC hospitals are against me! Where do you stand?
Gateway Pundit has this:
In 2015, Duke Medicine launched the Gender Clinic to provide a comprehensive range of treatments for children as young as two for gender dysphoria.
In 2016, the clinic’s director, transgender activist Dr. Deanna Adkins, spoke with the Charlotte Observer about her transgender pediatric patients.
“They are not old enough to consciously just choose to do that. … It is not a choice in any of my patients. It’s really an unpleasant thing to have going on in your body to feel that distress about yourself. I can’t imagine anyone who would choose to do that,” said Adkins.
Adkins wrote in her expert declaration to the federal district court in North Carolina, “From a medical perspective, the appropriate determinant of sex is gender identity.”
Adkins claimed that gender identity is “the only medically supported determinant of sex” and hence should be used as the primary foundation for identifying someone’s sex.
“It is counter to medical science to use chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive organs, external genitalia, or secondary sex characteristics to override gender identity for purposes of classifying someone as male or female.”
In court testimony, Duke doctor Deanna Adkins detailed how she treats toddlers:
Before puberty, treatment does not include any drug or surgical intervention. For this group of patients, treatment is limited to “social transition,” which means allowing a transgender child to live and be socially recognized in accordance with their gender identity.
This can include allowing children to wear clothing, to cut or grow their hair, to use names and pronouns, and to access restrooms and other sex-separated facilities and activities in line with their gender identity instead of the sex assigned to them at birth. Social transition is a critical part of treatment of patients with gender dysphoria of all ages and it is the only treatment for pre-pubertal children.
In other health care, children as young as three can be evaluated for gender dysphoria at UNC Health. According to the website, they will work with UNC endocrinologists, family doctors, and surgeons who are ready to medically “affirm” the child’s gender.
Let's be clear, these people have lost their darn minds. And none of this would have happened if we had pushed back earlier before this fire became a crisis.
Now it's time to cut it off, once and for all. Make performing this procedure on children a Federal crime, punishable by jail time, loss of license and fines.
Punish these predators like the criminals they are. Show mercy to our children.
