HHS Rejects Sex Change for Kids

Finally, those who want to treat psychological issues in children rather than exploit them to advance LGBTism have a voice in the government. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a report stating that children imagining themselves to be members of the opposite sex should receive psychotherapy rather than be subjected to life-ruining sex change procedures:

“The evidence for benefit of pediatric medical transition is very uncertain, while the evidence for harm is less uncertain. When medical interventions pose unnecessary, disproportionate risks of harm, healthcare providers should refuse to offer them even when they are preferred, requested, or demanded by patients,” the report reads. “Failure to do so increases the risk of iatrogenic harm and reduces medicine to consumerism, threatening the integrity of the profession and undermining trust in medical authority.” …

The report noted that a number of U.S. medical organizations support children receiving cross-sex hormones and other “gender-affirming care,” and that the World Professional Association for Transgender Health standards, followed by a number of U.S. facilities, recommend treatments as early as age 8 and procedures before a child becomes an adult.

Other “gender-affirming care” sometimes entails the surgical removal of healthy body parts.

Helping troubled children who have been caught up in the bizarre transgender fad has been labeled “conversion therapy” and is illegal under state law where liberals prevail.

Coercively Financed Penile-Sparing Vaginoplasty

It isn’t enough that moonbats have subverted the medical establishment to such an extreme that rather than attempt to cure the psychosexually insane, doctors exacerbate the problem with grotesque surgeries that would evoke shrieks of horror from Josef Mengele. Taxpayers are forced to finance it:

Ontario’s top court has ruled the province must cover the cost of a penile-sparing vaginoplasty for a transgender resident who does not identify as exclusively female or male and who wishes to have both genitalia.

The surgery didn’t even take place in Canada. But Canadians still have to pay, as just punishment for succumbing to socialized medicine.

The concept of penile-sparing vaginoplasty is not only obscene but nightmarish. Yet the decision was unanimous.

Look at the bright side. Even though it violates the liberal precept that all activity should be either illegal or mandatory, penile-sparing vaginoplasty is still voluntary, even in Ontario. However, this might change if nonbinary penile-sparing vaginoplasty recipients proclaim that the surgically nonmutilated cause them emotional distress.

Psychology Today Promotes Psychiatric Illness

Even as the psychology industry pathologizes normal behavior like fidgetiness in bored young boys as “attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder,” resulting in the prescription of harmful medications, psychotic delusions are not only normalized but encouraged.

From Psychology Today:

In an era of relentless targeting and escalation of misinformation, transgender and gender expansive (TGE) individuals face growing hostility, from healthcare bans to campaigns designed to erase their identities from public life.

“Hostility” refers to long-overdue pushback against the LGBT agenda. By “healthcare bans,” the author presumably means the restriction of horrific sex change procedures inflicted on children.

These aren’t just policy debates or media soundbites—they’re real threats to safety, autonomy, and survival.

The very survival of the psychosexually deranged is at stake. This means a precious status has been bestowed upon them. They are oppressed.

Trans people don’t suffer because of who they are—they suffer because of how they’re treated.

That is, by the normal people. The objective of Big Psychology is not to make sick people normal, but rather to promote sickness while deprecating normality.

Action points are listed to inform psychologists regarding how they can use psychosexually deranged patients to advance the agenda, including:

Validate Their Experiences – Your clients are not exaggerating. Listen without pathologizing. Validate without hesitation.

Affirm in Every Interaction – Use the correct name and pronouns like it’s second nature. Audit your forms, website, and policies to make sure they reflect that commitment.

This was written in Liberalese, so “correct” means “incorrect.” Even documentation is to be adulterated so as to affirm the delusions of the mentally ill.

Focusing now on “workplace allies and colleagues”:

Push for Equity – Not rainbow-washed posters. Real, lived equity. That means bathrooms, dress codes, policies, and culture.

Because encouraging men to invade women’s bathrooms and to wear women’s clothes advances mental health.

Speak Up – When transphobic jokes, comments, or microaggressions happen, don’t be silent.

As you can confirm by watching liberal “comedians” like Stephen Colbert, humor is not funny in the world of the woke. Any remark deemed to be insufficiently obsequious toward transsexualism is a potential microaggression.

Supporting transgender and gender expansive individuals means committing to more than kindness—it means committing to justice. It means believing them…

That is, believe them that they are members of the opposite sex.

Lunatics are running the insane asylum.

Parents of Newborns Presented With Sick Survey

The younger a child, the more pliable. Consequently, LGBTification could never begin too early to suit social engineers. An astonishing questionnaire confronts the parents of newborns at Inspira Health facilities in New Jersey.

Parents are asked whether the newborn identifies as female, male, “Transgender Female/Trans Female/Male To Female,” “Transgender Male/Trans Man/Female To Male,” “GenderQueer, neither exclusively male or female,” or some other gender category.

This makes sense to the extent that it is generally the parents who decide that a child is to be transsexual.

Then parents are asked, “Which of the following best describes your baby?” The options:

• Lesbian or gay

• Straight or heterosexual

• Bisexual

• Self-describes; please specify

• Questioning/unsure

• Prefer not to answer

Very open-minded of them to put “heterosexual” so high up the list.

Unfortunately, “Stay away from my baby, you disgusting creeps” is not listed.

In fairness to Inspira Health, this is too warped not to have been forcibly imposed by Democrats. Explains Inspira Health President and CEO Amy Mansue,

We are required to report this data to the New Jersey Department of Health, which shares it with the federal government. The goal is to carefully review how health care is delivered and to identify disparities and unconscious biases.

She says the survey “has been very well received by patients.” If New Jerseyans would vote for Murphy, maybe so.

Study Links Sex Change Surgery to Suicidal Ideation

Unconscionably, healthcare professionals who for ideological or financial motives inflict sex change procedures on children employ emotional blackmail against parents by persuading them that failing to undergo irreversible freakification could cause their kids to commit suicide. Evidence accrues that the reverse is true:

A comprehensive study recently published in the Oxford Academic Journal of Sexual Medicine has raised significant concerns about the mental health outcomes of individuals undergoing sex-change surgeries. …

According to the researchers, “Our analysis reveals a significantly elevated risk of mental health disorders—including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorder—post-surgery among individuals with a prior diagnosis of gender dysphoria.”

Looks like letting kids grow out of this sick fad like most of them do if allowed to will leave them with less to commit suicide about. Who would have thought?

As for adults, there are more constructive ways to deal with mental illness than grotesque attempts to force reality to conform to delusions through surgery.

Top Medical Journal Calls for Neurodiverse Doctors

The liberal euphemism for psychiatric abnormality is “neurodiversity.” This signifies that people who identify as having mental problems qualify for hiring preferences per DEI. The Federal Aviation Administration explicitly recruits people characterized by “psychiatric disability” on this basis. One of the world’s most prestigious medical journals is on board:

The Journal of the American Medical Association has published an article that urges “neurodiversity” be given “holistic” consideration when accepting students into medical school in keeping with diversity goals.

Seriously, this is an abstract from an article in JAMA:

Advancing physician workforce diversity is a vital objective for medical schools, residency and fellowship training programs, and medical institutions. The benefits of diversity have long been recognized with respect to persons with minoritized racial and ethnic backgrounds, women, persons who are LGBTQ+, and others, and there has been a wide range of efforts to increase the representation of these individuals among physicians. Currently, however, these same programs and institutions do not similarly prioritize neurodiversity, the range of developmental neurocognitive differences that underlie individual variation in thinking, learning, and behavior.

Recruiting doctors on the basis of their race, gender, or sexual deviancy is not enough. No matter how insane DEI gets, liberals will find a way to make it even more insane — literally.

Psychiatric impairments specifically listed as worthy of preference include autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, Tourette syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even learning disabilities. Candidates boasting these diagnoses have been “minoritized” and therefore should move toward the front of the line.

At least schizophrenia is not specifically listed as a qualification to practice medicine — yet.

The Long March Through the Institutions is conquering the medical field, reducing it to farce as it is repurposed with the objective of advancing leftism. This does not bode well for our future health.

If you like what DEI has done to the safety of air travel, you will love your odds of surviving surgery in our diverse future.

Gynecologist Suspended for Not Treating Man

To the extent the medical field has succumbed to the leftist Long March Through the Institutions, moonbattery trumps medical science at even the most fundamental level. Just ask Victor Acharian, the French gynecologist who was suspended for not treating a man posing as a woman:

In August 2023, a trans-identified male and his partner visited Dr. Acharian’s office in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. After a few minutes of waiting, the secretary told the man that the doctor had refused to see him.

“I told her [sic] that I’m not competent, but I can guide you. I can refer you to services that can take better care of you. But after I said that, things went south,” gynaecologist Victor Acharian told Euronews, while referring to the trans-identified male with feminine pronouns.

Dr. Acharian is not competent in this regard because gynecologists treat women, not men, and men are not women.

But that’s only in reality. Acharian doesn’t live in reality; he lives in France. So he was sanctioned when trans bullies turned him in to the authorities:

On December 16, 2024, the Conseil National de l’Ordre des Médecins sentenced Acharian to a five-month suspension, followed by a one-month probationary period. During that time, if the gynecologist is found to have engaged in transphobia or denied another trans-identified male patient, he would be sanctioned again.

It could be worse:

Trans activist organization SOS Homophobie posted a statement to their website suggesting that the doctor’s actions were potentially “also punishable by criminal sanctions.”

Moonbats are evil and insane. Letting them dominate governments has not been working out.

Big Money to Study Pansexual Youth

To prevent moonbats from bleeding America to death, after the DC Swamp has been drained, attention must turn to massively taxpayer-financed academia, where moonbat activists like Ohio State University Assistant Professor Christina Dyar are feeding like hogs at a trough.

From her OSU bio:

Her research focuses on groups of LGBTQ+ individuals that have been underrepresented [yeah right] in research, including bi+ individuals (i.e., individuals with attractions to more than one gender), LGBTQ+ women, non-binary individuals (i.e., individuals who identify outside of the gender binary), and BIPOC LGBTQ+ people. She is particularly interested in understanding mechanisms through which stigma-related stress (e.g., discrimination, microaggressions) impacts mental health and substance use. Her research often incorporates an intersectional perspective [yadda yadda yadda].

If flakes want to wallow in this silly crap, fine. Except we are forced to finance it.

OSU’s College of Nursing proudly announces a $3.6 million grant to Dyar from the National Institute of Mental Health “to examine the impact of microaggressions and discrimination on the mental health of bisexual and pansexual adolescents and young adults.”

As a rule, the purpose of studies like this is not to examine but to advocate for favored groups to receive priority in healthcare because “disparities.”

Barks Dyar:

“The findings from this study will inform the development of interventions designed to help bisexual and pansexual adolescents and young adults overcome microaggressions and discrimination and improve their mental health outcomes.”

Seriously, that’s what they are spending our money on.

Canadians Pay Ultimate Price for Free Healthcare

If it’s free, you can’t afford it. It isn’t just the extravagant cost of anything provided by infamously inefficient Big Government in terms of taxation and inflation. When it comes to healthcare, patients often pay the ultimate price.

From the Toronto Sun:

Close to 15,500 people died waiting for health care in Canada between April 1, 2023 until March 31, 2024, according to data compiled by SecondStreet.org via Freedom to Information Act requests across the country.

You can only wait so long for certain procedures. Lack of prompt care can be the same as no care at all, except it comes with an expensive bureaucracy.

The actual number is even higher:

However, SecondStreet.org says the exact number of 15,474 is incomplete as Quebec, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador don’t track the problem and Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia only provided data on patients who died while waiting for surgeries – not diagnostic scans.

The past year’s stats are just another drop in the bucket Canadian socialism forces its victims to kick:

Since April 2018, SecondStreet.org has identified 74,677 cases where Canadians died while waiting for care.

Meanwhile, private health insurance is repressed in Canada. Insured health services must be provided on a non-profit basis. Under socialism, you will eat the government cheese or you will go hungry — and the government will inevitably run short of cheese.

Killing People by Harvesting Organs in Canada

It is scary enough that Canada’s system of socialized medicine implements death by chemical drowning as therapy for poverty, mental illness, and needing a wheelchair lift. Now they are considering a ghastlier means of executing the medically inconvenient — harvesting their organs while they are still alive:

Canadian doctors have suggested killing euthanasia victims by taking their organs, according to multiple reports, whistleblowers, and public talks.

The harvested organs are fresher that way.

“The best use of my organs, if I’m going to receive a medically assisted death, might be to not first kill me and then retrieve my organs, but to have my mode of death — as we medically consider death now — to be to retrieve my organs,” said Rob Sibbald, an ethicist of the London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario.

Godless “ethicists” could chill the blood of Satan himself.

Other Canadian doctors have publicly embraced “death by donation,” and a study came out earlier this year exploring euthanasia programs such as MAID as a means of organ harvesting. Canada legalized euthanasia in 2016, and since then the number of Canadians using MAID to kill themselves has significantly increased.

At the top of the slippery slope, MAID was only used to kill patients likely to die soon. No longer.

According to disabled whistleblower Roger Foley, who has been repeatedly pressured to submit to euthanasia,

“It could be they’re already doing euthanasia by organ harvesting, we just don’t know about it.”

Heather Hancock was also pressured by doctors to let them kill her for being disabled. She suggests that killing patients for their organs helps fund Canada’s socialized healthcare system.

The politically disfavored have been subjected to forced organ harvesting in communist China for decades. The main difference between China and Canada is that the fiends running the former imposed themselves by force. Canadians voluntarily elected leftists like Justin Trudeau, who preside over a system comparably morally vacuous. Maybe it isn’t too late to change course, but it will require a decisive reversal.

NIH Funds Cultural Marxist Absurdity

Attention Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The National Institutes of Health is flinging our money to the four winds in the name of moonbat ideology:

A public university in Pennsylvania is getting $5 million from American taxpayers to research the effectiveness of a special center it launched in 2021 to address systemic racism. It is called the Racial Equity Consciousness Institute (RECI) and its founders at the University of Pittsburgh claim it is essential because “systemic racism is an endemic public health crisis in the United States that has a profoundly negative impact on the mental and physical health of millions of people—focally, people of color.”

Pitt being a public school, taxpayers are already funding it, even before federal grant support.

Since it was launched by Ron Idoko, who previously worked at the school’s Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, RECI has worked to eradicate systemic racism by developing a critical understanding of the complex and pervasive ways it operates and establishing strategies to foster racial equity.

That is, to mandate that all of us be defined by race, and that members of disfavored races do not achieve more than members of favored races.

You have to hand it to cultural Marxists; they came up with a clever strategy for tearing our country apart.

The institute uses “structured cognitive behavioral training” (SCBT) to address and determine thoughts, feelings and behaviors toward racial equity and justice.

Such brainwashing tactics are as close as any of this comes to science — unless you count this:

The research funded by the NIH will focus on identifying the effectiveness of RECI training as well as other bias drills on diversity and attitudes that perpetuate systemic racism in healthcare outcomes, especially among marginalized communities. Outcomes of the intervention will be measured through questionnaires and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that looks for structural brain changes before and after the program.

The objective of the NIH is supposed to be to make Americans healthier. As with the rest of the federal leviathan, often the actual purpose appears to be to offer other people’s flagrantly wasted money as burnt offerings to the unholy gods of wokeness.

Democrats Inflict Tuberculosis on USA

Slow death by tuberculosis had been virtually eradicated in America. Then came Democrats:

Reported cases of TB shot up 34% from 2020 to 2023, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and continue to rise. More than three quarters of the cases are foreign-born people who picked up the disease in their home countries or traveling through countries with high TB rates.

Add TB to violent crime, fentanyl, and loss of social cohesion through demographic fragmentation on the list of malefactions Democrats have inflicted by opening the border and enticing the dregs of the planet to unlawfully invade.

The TB incidence rate is 60 times higher in Haiti than in the U.S.

Considering Democrats’ Haitian colonization campaign, the situation would soon be much worse if Trump had not won.

TB kills more people than any other infectious disease.

But in the U.S., the mission-confused CDC is stressing health equity and rushing resources to the “disproportionately affected” groups.

Given that equity is the objective, not public health, TB in the USA may be seen as a good thing. If Third World slums have TB, then we should have it too, according to the doctrine of social justice. No wonder Democrats have refused to take the most obvious step against it by securing the border.

Migrants flooding across the border illegally or entering with Biden’s new parole app get no screening. Zip.

The CDC is MIA about screening and isolating the infected before they bring the disease to cities and towns across the country.

Federal health bureauweenies do keep some data though:

CDC data show a whopping 42% increase in incidence of TB among children ages 5-14 in one year.

Innocent kids who have not had the chance to vote against Democrats often fall victim to their destructive policies.

Son and Daughter Deleted From Newspeak Dictionary

According to the postmodern doctrine of modern liberalism, what we call reality is a social construct that can be arbitrarily altered by compelling changes to language. The objective of this ideology is to destroy society at the most fundamental level. That’s why they relentlessly attack the family and the gender binary. It’s why bureauweenies in Vermont have deleted “son” and “daughter” from the Newspeak Dictionary:

Vermont public health officials are encouraging teachers and parents to ditch the phrases “son” and “daughter” this back-to-school season in the name of classroom equity.

“Use ‘child’ or ‘kid’ instead of ‘daughter’ or ‘son,’” reads an Inclusive Language for Families document published Wednesday on Facebook by the Vermont Department of Health.

When Big Government takes over healthcare, it is no longer about health; it is about health equity. That is, it is about moonbattery:

The inclusive language guide is part of the department’s initiative for health equity, the central pillar of the state’s five-year strategic plan for health improvement.

If the notion of a 5-year plan sounds familiar, you are probably thinking of the Soviet Union — or maybe I should be more specific and say the original Soviet Union, where these plans were imposed to radically transform Russian society. Looks like they will serve a similar purpose in the second Soviet Union progressives are inflicting in place of America.

NHS Asks Men Whether They Are Pregnant

Moonbattery is now imposed by force of law so aggressively in Britain that the London chief of police has threatened people for posting disapproved thoughts on social media in other countries. The reason woke ideology cannot stand on its own merits without coercion is that it is insane — as demonstrated by the UK’s socialized National Health Service:

NHS X-ray operators have been told to ask men if they’re pregnant before carrying out X-rays…

The guidance was first introduced after a trans man, who did not know [she was] pregnant, underwent a CT scan.

The radiation from several regularly used scans, including X-rays and MRIs, can be dangerous to unborn children.

Mandatory absurdity is among the prices to be paid for forcing medical professionals to play along with the delusion that chromosomes no longer matter. Doctors are prevented from accurately recording the sex of patients because this would conflict with LGBT doctrine regarding gender fluidity.

Speaking of nationalized healthcare and leftist dogma, Britain’s rulers have threatened to withhold healthcare from the ideologically intransigent.
