The awful content of these social media sites are pouring into so many children’s lives unfiltered. And if you’re not talking to these kids about the world, they’ll just think what they’re seeing is normal and true.
Pediatrician promotes puberty blockers to kids on tiktok claiming they just “pause” puberty so you have more time to “explore your gender identity” pic.twitter.com/6CfUtqNljD

This pediatrician obviously doesn’t care about children’s health.
The American College of Pediatricians states:
“There is not a single long-term study to demonstrate the safety or efficacy of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for transgender-believing youth. This means that youth transition is experimental, and therefore, parents cannot provide informed consent, nor can minors provide assent for these interventions. Moreover, the best long-term evidence we have among adults shows that medical intervention fails to reduce suicide.”
They go on to state that puberty blockers may cause mental illness, seizures, osteoporosis, mood disorders, seizures, cognitive impairment and, when combined with cross-sex hormones, sterility.
Never mind all that. How about the side effect that this pediatrician gets to act all cool on Tic-Tok? That’s the really important side effect here, isn’t it? Some measure of internet fame? And if a few thousand kids are permanently harmed by it, that’s the price that must be paid, am I right?
