Shock Study Reveals That Puberty Blockers Are Not "Temporary" But Can Cause "Withering Testicles" and Permanent Sterility; Meanwhile, a Study Shows That Almost All "Gender-Discontented" Kids Will Grow Out of It In Just a Few Years

So quick! We need to chop these kids' tits and dicks off before they change their minds!

The Mayo Clinic rejects the Dangerous Medical Disinformation that puberty blockers are just a "pause" on puberty that can be easily reversed.

Mayo Clinic experts say puberty blockers can lead to withering testicles, fertility problems and even cancer among the trans kids who take them, in the latest study to raise alarm about transgender medicine.
The findings cast doubt on the 'reversibility' of puberty blockers -- a key claim of the trans activists who promote the drugs, saying they only 'pause' puberty and buy time for trans kids to make decisions about their gender.
Instead, researchers say puberty blockers hurt the development of testicles and sperm production in ways that are not fully reversible and could affect users' ability to have children when they grow up.
'At the tissue level, we report mild-to-severe sex gland atrophy in puberty blocker-treated children,' the geneticist Nagarajan Kannan and others wrote in the 33-page study.

They also stop your penis from growing. If you need to know how sad that can be, ask Jonah Goldberg's wife.

'We provide unprecedented histological evidence revealing detrimental pediatric testicular sex gland responses' to the drugs.
The study has not yet been peer-reviewed, but has been endorsed by Genspect, a global advocacy group against medical transitions, 'Harry Potter' author J K Rowling, Benjamin Ryan, a prominent science writer, and others.
...
'Whistleblowers have been saying this for ages: puberty blockers are not a pause button!' Genspect posted about the research.
The study 'reveals potential irreversible harm to the fertility of patients on these drugs,' added the group.
For their study, Mayo researchers looked at one of the largest collections of testicular samples for patients aged 0-17 years, including those with gender dysphoria who both did and did not take puberty blockers.
They focussed on 87 children, including 16 boys aged 10-16 who identified as girls.

Notice, once again, that girls are now the most likely to declare themselves trangender. Before the viral contagion, 95% of transgenders were males. (Males are much more likely to be outliers and be found on either extreme of a bell curve in most ways.)

...
Nearly 60 percent of [one child's] sex glands had 'fully atrophied,' they said.
There was also an 'appearance of microlithiasis,' or small clusters of calcium that are linked to testicular cancer.
In a 14-year-old patient who had been on puberty blockers for four years, they found his sperm production cells were stunted.

What is the cost of waiting?

The main cost is that the transgender extremists, who seek to normalize their choices by recruiting as many vulnerable children into a extremely bad medical choice as possible, thus getting those kids and all of their parents aligned with the extremists' agenda, will just grow out of their "gender discontedness" if allowed to have a non-medicalized puberty.

Most children suffering from gender dysphoria grow out of it, 15-year study concludes
A major study carried out in the Netherlands over a 15-year period has found that the majority of children who experience gender dysphoria grow out of it by the time they are adults.
The study saw researchers in the Netherlands track more than 2,700 children aged 11 to their mid-twenties, asking them every three years about the feelings they had towards their gender, and whether they were gender-content or gender non-content. The children were part of the Tracking Adolescents Individual Lives Survey.
...

Authors from the University of Groningen reported that gender non-contentedness was most prevalent between the ages of 10 and 12, and that the prevalence decreased with age. They also noted that the prevalence was "significantly higher" in girls than boys at ages 13 and 16. The long-term study showed at the start of the research that roughly one in ten children (11 per cent) expressed "gender non-contentedness" to varying degrees.
Authors found that a relatively large percentage (19 per cent) of young adolescents reported gender non-contentedness in adolescence, but not in early adulthood. By the age of 25, just one-in-25 (4 percent) said they 'often' or 'sometimes' were discontent with their gender.

The study found that those expressing "gender-discontedness" had more "global" discontedness in most aspects of their lives. Gender butchers are quick to claim that all of these mental illnesses are caused by "being in the wrong body." They refuse to even consider the possibility that it's all of these mental illnesses causing the claim of being gender confused. (Particularly since Gender Evangelists are always enlisting children into their cult by telling them that all problems -- depression, feeling different, not liking your body or the way you look -- can all be cured with puberty blockers and then cross-sex hormones.)

Relatedly: Disney will gladly pay for the children of its employees to "transition."

But if these children want to detransition, this Satanic groomer company refuses to pay.

Does Disney care about more about the praise of transgender activists or the pain of its employees and their family, including children?
The answer will become clear at the company's April 3 annual meeting, when shareholders vote on a proposal my organization filed.
We're asking the company, which has famously associated itself with the gender-ideology movement, to stop ignoring the significant medical needs of those who've tried to reverse their sex transitions.
My group, as a Disney shareholder, filed our proposal with the company in October.
We want the entertainment giant to explain why its health insurance doesn't include coverage for people who attempt to detransition.
It's a matter of equal treatment that especially matters as more Americans pursue sex changes they end up regretting, a trend Disney strengthened by so publicly aligning itself with the transgender cause.
Many people who attempt a transition have gender dysphoria, a psychological condition that involves feeling uncomfortable with one's biological sex.
Rather than get the proper counseling they need to address it, they are generally fast-tracked by medical practitioners into an invasive and often irreversible regimen of drugs and surgeries.
...
My organization has worked with Chloe Cole, who began a gender transition at age 12 and is the patient advocate at the nonprofit Do No Harm.
By age 16, after taking puberty blockers and receiving a double mastectomy, she tried to turn back.
Yet her body has been irreversibly changed and damaged, and years later, her chest is still bandaged.
She will likely be on different medications and need ongoing treatments for the rest of her life.

Just got off the phone from the @Disney annual shareholders meeting.

I needed to call out Bob Iger and the rest of the board’s hypocrisy and the dangerous lies they feed to us through the media.

What should have been obvious then, was that it wasn't going to last, there was no way they could sustain it, and while I feel deeply sympathetic for all the mixed up kids who went through with this, it was only a matter of time before it would be shown to be the monstrosity it is.

Hopefully very soon, there will be no more transjenner butchery done on any more kids.

47 There is a drug named Spirolactone that is often prescribed as a potassium-sparing water pill, for people with high blood pressure or kidney issues. If you look up the other uses of Spirolactone, it is also a puberty blocker known for counteracting male hormones. If your doctor is prescribing this, put your finger through his top buttonhole, draw him in close, and have a little discussion.

97 Doctors who practice in the gender transition industry are a very small segment of the medical field. That said, Doctors have an ethical responsibility to police their own. Sadly, it seems to me, too many view the Hipocratic oath as merely words. Very similar to our elected officials, military, LEO and federal employees who take an oath to uphold the Constitution. There is no rational, reasonable argument that can convince me that this is anything but blatant criminal behavior.

Platoon starts in on how most of the trans kids tun out to be gay when they are 'reassigned' and that this therefore is falling on gay kids... and that is when I closed the video.

You can get a bit MORE from a Vanguard money market account, WITHOUT locking the money up for 6 months.

For example, VMFXX has an annual yield of 5.41%, payable monthly. The price never changes, so it's always worth what you put in, never more, never less. So, no market risk.

To illustrate, an investor can invest $1000 in VMFXX* today & withdraw it tomorrow. No "you have to hold it for 6 months; substantial penalty for early withdrawal" to it.

An investor can buy into any one of Vanguard's many money market accounts either directly through Vanguard, or via a brokerage account.

207 I always maintain that the only Hemingway book that merits a read is For Whom The Bell Tolls. Good depiction of partisan/guerrilla warfare, decent character development, and a protagonist who doesn't seem to suffer from any of Hemingway's many hang-ups.

But even then you have to force yourself to ignore Hemingway's political sympathies and the many, many times Hemingway had to use euphemistic terms like "fug" and "I obscenity in thy milk" in order to get the book past censorship.

I re-read the book as an adult & decided it was one of the best novels ever written, exactly as advertised.

I think it speaks to us today, too. The dangers of buying into a violent revolution. Plus, Madame Defarge is a way cool villainess.

What group is taking the brunt in the UK of pressure in academia over trans - TERFS, the group that most of the lesbian and feminist old guard. They hold a massive amount of power in academia and other elite positions and the Trans lobby wants those jobs. And the Gays are another powerful group in the elite ideaspace that have jobs that the Trans lobby wants.

You can get a bit MORE from a Vanguard money market account, WITHOUT locking the money up for 6 months.

For example, VMFXX has an annual yield of 5.41%, payable monthly. The price never changes, so it's always worth what you put in, never more, never less. So, no market risk.

I'm flattered you read it, & of course you're welcome.

The Vanguard Group of mutual funds (including their money market funds) have been around for over 50 years. Their claim to fame is that they have the lowest expense ratio among all mutual fund companies, which has a big impact on an investor's total return.

Today, mutual funds are almost always sold through discount brokers, such as E*Trade or Ameritrade (Schwab). However, as stated, they can still be bought directly from Vanguard (or any other mutual fund company) without opening a brokerage account, if an investor prefers that.
