Stanford University School of Medicine is looking to hire a "gender confirmation" surgeon. Note the candidate will also operate on pediatric patients, and locales include Stanford's Children's Hospital. Activists keep saying no one operates on minors.

Support/acceptance for gay people was at an all-time high (including w/moderates and conservatives) before kiddie transition, grown males (a la Lia Thomas) overtaking women's sport, and sexually-suggestive family brunches became the norm. Wake the eff up.

This is big. Very big. Thomas Steensma is one of the original Dutch researcher-clinicians who pioneered the use of puberty blockers for gender dysphoria children.

One of the most well-known Dutch child gender professionals no longer treats children. He said: "In the Netherlands we conduct structural research. But the rest of the world is blindly adopting our research."

When Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, MPH, director of the Yale Human Nature Lab and author of several papers and a book about social influences on human behavior, says the outbreak of gender dysphoria among youth shows signs of social contagion, maybe it's time to stop denying it?

@GabrielRossman @Cridmo @SwipeWright I am an expert in social contagion, and I endorse these examples too. Also peanut allergy, autism (mild form -- see work by Peter Bearman), and gender dysphoria (our second outbreak in a generation). What they all have in common is core of actual cases, with social overlay.

@michaelshermer The two causes are synergistic and co-amplifying. The Internet, like no other technology in history, has allowed instantaneous spreading (via handheld smartphones/social media) of the endogenous problems you point to. Contagion.

If adult trans people cared about trans youth as much as they claim, they'd do everything in their power to warn them of the dangers of things like phalloplasty. They'd stop making desistance a dirty word. They'd CELEBRATE when a trans-ID'ed youth found peace in their own skin.

The dam continues to break in the mainstream media. ”Mosley wishes her doctors had focused more on her mental health instead of endorsing her desire to change her body. ‘I just took the cure that was handed to me‘ she said, ‘and I ruined my life’.”

One example: the (now wrongly named) National Center for Lesbian Rights. As they litigate for prisoners to be housed according to “gender identity,” what do they do for an incarcerated lesbian whose life became more unsafe when a dangerous male criminal entered her cell block?

Many of our followers will know who this person is. Knox changes identities like a chameleon on steroids, medically transitioned her (oops! "their/his") child, and is part of a "polycule" with her MTF spouse & several other MTFs. Some make fun of her, but .

As we've seen before, "top surgery" (double mastectomy) on teens is fairly common. Sometimes covered by insurance, sometimes it's private pay. But how many know that gender surgeons are removing teen testicles and crafting fake vulvas out of micropenises for 15-16 year olds?

Whatever your opinion of Walsh, he’s just the messenger here. The entire clip (well worth watching) is about how much money trans surgeries will bring into the hospital this person works for.

Someone explain how a 6-yr-old girl who prefers mud to fairies, trousers to dresses, could read this & NOT wonder if she's "really" a boy. This is indoctrination pure and simple, and it (and the rest of the lavishly funded Trans Child Industry) is damaging a whole generation.

Interviewer (a physiotherapist) says many of her ADULT post-surgery patients can't orgasm (or don't experience it at the intensity they used to). So how the hell can a TEEN patient, blocked at puberty onset, never had an orgasm, be able to consent to this future consequence?
