UK Psychologists Apologise for Role in Promoting Trans ‘Medicine’ to Kids

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/20...n-promoting-transgender-medicine-to-children/
A group of senior clinical psychologists have apologised for the role their profession played in the promotion of transgender ‘medical’ treatments to children in the UK following a damning report which found that such interventions were done on “shaky foundations”.

In a joint letter published by the left-wing Guardian’s sister paper The Observer, 16 unnamed “senior clinical psychologists”, including some who actually worked in the now-discredited Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) clinics that prescribed hundreds of children life-altering puberty-blocking drugs, said that their profession led the way in pushing children into such a direction.

I'm not buying their BS! They already knew this was a horrible idea (but a very PROFITABLE one). LOCK THEM UP! What say you?

 

Disbar at minimum, if true.

 

What say I? Sounds like some people totally ****ed up and it should be investigated, but that Breitbart is baiting their readers into thinking that this is about the treatment being inappropriate for all patients, which is a lie. They pick up a serious story and lie and twist it into their usual "trans people bad" two minutes of hate.

 

Yeah, they owe not only an apology but I would hope for a class action lawsuit once that hits here in the USA. Politicians, doctors, and anyone who promoted it should be held financially responsible.

How many more children have to get mutilated before left-wingers in America stand with decency and end the abuse?

For those individuals supporting that non-sense, you need to have a LONG, HARD look into the mirror and think about why you were so easily deceived by extreme progressives and think about how to prevent that from happening again. Look in the mirror and ask yourself " How did I ever agree with chopping off a 9 year olds penis" ?

****ing world we live in today... jfc.

 

That's not what the letter was actually about. But glad to see how quickly we had an exhibit of my prediction from my last post.

 

Oh please enlighten us as to what weird game you think you've won this time?

 

Based on your above statement, I clicked on the link and read the Breitbart article.

Can you cut and paste the part that you think qualifies as "trans people bad" as you state here? I dont see it.

If using such a generalized expression, the only thing I see here is "contributing psychologists bad"

 

This is from the article and is something a lot of us have been saying for a long time. I'm curious to see how American psychologists respond to the overall report.

 

So far they are ignoring it.

BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL
How the Cass Review Failed to Land in the US

'A landmark investigation with bearing on the future of gender identity services for children and adolescents has been pivotal in the UK—and largely ignored by US medical organisations and media. Jennifer Block reports on how America has resisted'

'The newly released Cass review on transgender care for under 18s has had a seismic effect across the United Kingdom and Europe.1 Scotland and Wales promptly followed the NHS in England in ceasing the prescription of puberty “blocking” drugs outside of research protocols. The UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem, called the independent inquiry’s findings and recommendations “seminal” and stated that policies on gender treatments have “breached fundamental principles” of children’s human rights, with “devastating consequences.” Some charities and clinicians are disappointed with last month’s final review report. But the tone of major print and broadcast media in the UK has shifted: outlets that have previously reported criticism of gender services as transphobic now note how, as the Guardian reported, “the lack of high quality research, highlighted by Cass, has been a subject of growing unease among doctors.”'

Well, American Doctors have largely stayed with the name-calling and disinformation that allows them to continue to destroy young people for profit.

'The review by Hilary Cass, paediatrician and former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, was commissioned by the NHS and built on the findings of Cass’s 2022 interim report. Then, she found that the evidence underpinning the treatment intensive, “gender affirming” model of care for distressed young people was “limited” and “inconclusive.” The final report is even clearer: “The reality is that we have no good evidence on the long term outcomes of interventions to manage gender related distress.”'

'But in the United States, where the gender affirming model is the norm, the effect of Cass’s four year investigation and final report isn’t yet obvious. “Unfortunately, Cass does not seem to be penetrating the public consciousness,” says Zhenya Abbruzzese, cofounder of the four year old Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM), a group of researchers and clinicians that has pushed for systematic reviews and an evidence based approach.'

 

It is inappropriate for all patients on the basis of age. Hence use of the word “kids” to indicate that.

 

All patients under 18 is not all patients.

 

Where did they even say all patients under 18?

 

Don't tell me you missed the multiple references to children in the article and the link?

 

I don't think you understood my question. I'm asking where they said that ALL gender affirming care should be ended for ALL children under 18.

 

I think your failure to grasp the obvious is at an all time high.

 

But outmatched by your failure to provide evidence.
