The Science
There have been no long-term clinical studies done on children, but a few brave doctors and scientists have begun to study the effects of puberty blockers and hormones on children.
Puberty blockers are a class of drugs called gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. They cause the pituitary gland to stop producing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn stimulate the production of estrogen in girls, and testosterone in boys.
The puberty blocker most often used in North America is leuprorelin, marketed as Lupron, and in the UK it is called triptorelin. They do the same thing.
Lupron was given FDA approval to treat prostate cancer in men, and endometriosis and uterine fibroids in women.
It was also given FDA approval to treat a condition known as precocious puberty in children. This is a rare condition where puberty occurs very young: under age 7 for females, and under age 9 for males. In these instances, however, the children would come off the drug so that puberty could occur at a more normal age. It is this usage of puberty blockers that originally motivated a few clinicians to experiment on adolescent children with gender dysphoria in the 1990s. (See the video below.)
An outline of the history of using puberty blockers for gender dysphoria: ‘The Dutch Protocol’.
There are no clinical trials about the long-term usage of this drug on adolescent children. None. Zero. A single case where an adolescent female expressed that she was happier after going on puberty blockers is what led to this live experiment on tens of thousands of children today.
It is very important to understand that puberty blockers are just one part of a medical pathway that we are sending children on. 98% of the time, when started on puberty blockers, these children go on to take the opposite-sex hormones. Girls take testosterone, and boys take estrogen. This comes with more medical complications, including hysterectomies for girls after years of testosterone therapy.
Yes, we are sterilizing children.
In several countries, children go through ‘gender clinics’ to obtain medical treatments as described above. Many of these clinics are shrined in secrecy and several have refused to disclose data outlining the long-term outcomes of these treatments. Below is an example from Australia (17th of March, 2021):
Lupron is also used on sex offenders as a chemical castration agent. It is a very powerful drug with serious side effects, including permanent cognitive impairment, and is only recommended to grown women with endometriosis for a period not greater than 6 months. Yet we are giving this drug on a continual basis to children for the entire duration of their puberty, starting as young as 10 years old.
Activists tell us that puberty blockers just buy time for gender dysphoric youth to explore their gender identity, without developing unwanted secondary sex characteristics. Yet study after study show that virtually every child stays on them until they are old enough to start up with cross-sex hormones.
Parents are also lied to by activists and clinicians who present puberty blockers as fully reversible. How is time reversible? If a child goes on puberty blockers for 5 years, those important years of development are gone. Their bones don’t gain any density. Boys genitals don’t grow. Girls breasts don’t grow and their pelvises don’t expand. If a boy wants to go on to sex-reassignment surgery as an adult, there is usually not enough genital tissue to invert in order to create the neovagina, so surgeons end up using tissue from the bowels.
Studies show that about 4 out of 5 children with gender dysphoria, if allowed to go through puberty, see their gender dysphoria go away. Many will discover they are gay or lesbian. So yes, we are transing away the gay in children, and instead turning them into lifelong medical patients, destroying their sexual function, and sterilizing them.
Studies also show that a very high percentage of children coming to gender clinics have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Furthermore, children wanting to transition usually have comorbidities such as depression or anxiety. Yet there is no requirement to do talk therapy in order to get to the root cause of what is going on with a child. Watchful waiting is now discouraged in favour of the affirmation-only approach, which fast-tracks healthy kids onto this medical pathway, and permanent medical harm.
