Quote:1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of health – not genetic markers of a disorder.
2. No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender (an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female) is a sociological and psychological concept; not an objective biological one.
3. A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking. When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such.
4. Puberty is not a disease and puberty-blocking hormones can be dangerous. Reversible or not, puberty-blocking hormones induce a state of disease – the absence of puberty – and inhibit growth and fertility in a previously biologically healthy child.
5. According to the DSM-V, as many as 98% of gender confused boys and 88% of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty.
6. Children who use puberty blockers to impersonate the opposite sex will require cross-sex hormones in late adolescence. Cross-sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen) are associated with dangerous health risks including but not limited to high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke and cancer.
7. Rates of suicide are twenty times greater among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery, even in Sweden which is among the most LGBQT – affirming countries.
8. Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful as child abuse.

I don't care how you feel about the subject, giving a child puberty inhibiting hormones is extremely reckless and should be unethical. People will rage if a teenage girl gets breast implants or liposuction but won't blink an eye when it comes to giving any child/teen hormones to prohibit a naturally occurring process the body goes through? I call BS. I don't even agree with putting teen girls on the Pill for so many reasons because of the hormones. I know many use it to regulate hormones but it's usually in small doses and not long term. I can't imagine the amount of hormones it would take to stop someone from going through puberty. That's a pretty powerful process. And being that kids are hitting puberty at younger ages..... I can't imagine the thought process of someone allowing this.
