Remember the good ol’ days when the baby came out of the womb you looked down and could announce, “you have a baby boy” or “You’ve got a girl.” Well, it turns out you have to wait a while before you announce. In fact you might have to wait a long while. You have to wait until they decide what they are and just in case they’re undecided you can now put children on pills to block puberty until they make up their mind.
The Telegraph reports:
Children as young as 12 are to be allowed drugs to block puberty while they decide whether to have a sex change, it has been revealed.
The monthly injection suspends the onset of adulthood so that young people confused about their gender can be sure of any decision before they take on too many masculine or feminine features.
Supporters say that the “window” prevents a great deal of mental and physical anguish caused by the maturing of sex organs, facial hair growth and changes in the voice.
But critics argue it only prolongs the agony and can prevent people “growing out” of any feelings of confusion.
The treatment can be prescribed for people diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder (GID) – a rare psychiatric condition where a person is born one sex, but feels they are the other.
One of the main effects of the drugs is to stunt the development of sexual organs so less surgery will be required if someone chooses to permanently change their gender at a later date.
And just in case you’re reading this and rolling your eyes at those wacky Europeans, before this passed, parents had to take their children to America for this kind of stuff.
On top of this gay and trans-gender people are suing cities to have their birth certificates changed to reflect the changes they’ve made to themselves via surgery which makes absolutely no sense at all to me.
I’ll echo Van Helsing’s words from Moonbattery: “When you combine liberal social engineering with science, the result is horror.”

The spirit of Satan is alive, strong and quite well in the world. How much longer will God be mocked?

I'll be honest, here. At one time, the arguments of the GLBT machine made sense to me. I must have been high off my own chemicals because now that I am out of that depressive mode, their arguments and demands just do not make sense.
I wonder. Before my two year depression, I was conservative. Then, during the entirety of my depression, I was liberal. After the depression ended, I was conservative again, only this time stronger in my beliefs because I had learned in those two years. Coincidence?

So how long can these kids stay in pre-puberty limbo? Years? Decades? Are we going to have 30 year old pre-pubesents running around who are still undecided? It's a real boon for pedophiles too. She's really 25 she just looks 9.
Also those sex hormones affect more than the sexual organs. The brain develops and changes during puberty. Will the hormones make these kids problems even worse by delaying mental maturity as well?
It's just too ridiculous. I feel bad for people that have this mental disorder, but they need treatment and help to live as they are.

England has been overtaken by Satan. And we are not too far behind if we don't do something.

What scares me every time I read this sort of thing is how "scientists" disregard science for "socal" reasons. The sex is determined at the cellular level. Every cell in our bodies identifies us male or female, no matter what part of our body is cut off. This is basic science in my 6th graders book.

So instead of treating the disease of GID, they're prolonging it and leaving the kids confused about who they are. And while they're at it, they dangle the concept of mutilating their bodies to match the mixed up self-identity.
How about actually helping the kids reconcile their emotional identity with their physical identity?

Adrienne,
Your will is paramount in our lives so we'll put up a post about The Crescat heading to Rome.

The fact that they refer to this as a "rare psychiatric condition" would seem to belie the LGBT civil rights arguments. Being black or female, etc. is not a psychiatric condition. What other psychiatric conditions should we indulge rather than treat?

I appreciate this post, but it makes me sick.
Evil surely is running around RAMPANTLY on this earth right now.
Very scary. So many souls in such grave danger. It really reinforces the fact that most of us – no matter how pious – are simply NOT praying enough.

I mostly doubt modern psychiatry and its fads, but I have seen for myself interviews with such children and their gender-correct and nurturing parents. These children, from normal families are so anguished that they try to kill themselves. When someone honestly expresses their deep suffering, it is hard not to listen and believe them. I do believe them. Do we know so very much about sexuality and the pathologies of the human brain to judge this as simply made up?
But, what to do about it as a Christian, Catholic person? Thank God I don't have to decide. Acting medically to relive my child of real, lifelong anguish doesn't seem to be "evil" or satanic. It seems compassionate.

Blackrep you miss the point: (But you make a valid one yourself)
This is GOING TO BE USED by PARENTS who are encouraging their NORMAL child to "explore" their "sexual identity".
It is the sick parents who will be confusing their normal children – and it is already happening and has BEEN happening.
All in the name of compassion.
