UK High Court recognized the key issue that activist docs can't grasp: that puberty blockers turn otherwise healthy kids into patients for life. Using PBs to stop breast development in a 5 yr old girl is diff. from arresting psychosexual development of a distressed 12 yr old./1 https://twitter.com/SEGMtweets/status/1334735827205681153
The mere fact that in all 3 studies that exist on PBs for GD kids, nearly 100% of kids continued with full sex reassignment means that Puberty Blockers are not a break, but a gas pedal for childhood transition. The court saw it. Why are activist clinicians refusing to see it? /2
Living in the opposite sex role works out for some. Sadly, long-term studies of populations (rather than individual cases) show that as a group, they die 20 yrs younger, have lots of heart disease, mental illness, relationship problems. Why push the gas pedal for the kids? /3
Boys who were puberty blocked and have no psychosocial experience developing as boys are now locked into female apperance and a micropenis that cannot even become a deep enough vagina. Girls need less breast tissue amputated but otherwise unchanged.All sterile.What's the rush ?/4
It does appear that some adults transition and are happy--or at least they say they are. But data don't lie. Living as trans is a far harder path even in the most accepting societies such as Netherlands. The only long-term case of a Dutch protocol kid is now in his 30s, lonely./5
Different people make different decisions in their lives, and then they have to live with the consequences (good or bad) sometimes until the day they die. But can feminine boys, angsty teen girls consent to this path? The UK Court said no. Most sane people agree. #AwakeNotWoke
