Any significant medical intervention has a physical price. That price may be justified by the need, but anyone who claims that there isn’t a price, is lying.
From those cheerful drug ads of families happily cavorting and living life after they’ve taken their daily dose of CAVORTIL/XS (not to be taken with food, other medicine or oxygen, may cause panic, unexplained bleeding from ears, nose and toes, may not actually work, all lawsuits subject to mediation and postponed until 2093) to media coverage, the goal is to brand procedures and medications with some dumbed down and simplistic buzzword.
For puberty blockers, often rapidly assigned to children suffering a mental health crisis or a misdiagnosis of being another sex than they actually are, that’s the ‘Pause Button’.
A pause button sounds good. You don’t have to decide yet, you can pause and put off the decision.
Here’s the pause button sales pitch from NYU Langone.
The pause in puberty is the largest benefit of the medication. “Puberty blockers allow transgender kids to really be able to navigate situations without worrying about what their body looks like as soon as puberty becomes part of the picture,” says Samantha Busa, PsyD, child and adolescent psychologist and clinical director of the Gender and Sexuality Service at the Child Study Center, part of the Transgender Youth Health Program at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital.
And here’s CNN.
“Puberty blockers are sort of like a man-made hormone analogue, and basically what they do is fool the brain into not sending messages to the ovaries and testes to secrete hormones,” said Dr. Michelle Forcier, a professor of pediatrics at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Rhode Island, who has specialized in gender, sexual and reproductive health for 25 years.
“The brain thinks it’s got enough hormones and doesn’t message the ovaries and testes to get to work,” added Forcier, also a clinician at Folx Health. “And so, the ovaries and testes kind of just rest or go to sleep until the brain gland wakes up again and tells them, ‘Time to secrete hormones.’”
Pausing puberty for people assigned male at birth, the medications can temporarily prevent shoulders broadening, voices deepening, facial hair growing or the testes or penis enlarging, Forcier said. For those assigned female at birth, puberty blockers pause the development of breasts, wider hips or a menstrual period.
This state of limbo gives adolescents time to think about their gender identity and their guardians time to consider options before their bodies begin changing in ways that can “create massive dysphoria, depression, suicidality and a whole bunch of other poor health outcomes,” Forcier said.
The blockers “prevent permanent changes that we can’t necessarily fix or eradicate in the future,” she added. “We can’t go backwards, but at least everything (pauses) where it is.”
Pause. Pause. Pause.
Isn’t that so reassuring? Parents are told that the alternative to this ‘pause’ is depression and suicide. Just give your kids some puberty blockers and give them time to “figure it out”.
The reality is very different. Real life has no pause button. Neither does biology.
Forcing a halt to puberty has a price. A big one.
Mayo Clinic experts say puberty blockers can lead to withering testicles, fertility problems and even cancer among the trans kids who take them, in the latest study to raise alarm about transgender medicine.
‘At the tissue level, we report mild-to-severe sex gland atrophy in puberty blocker-treated children,’ the geneticist Nagarajan Kannan and others wrote in the 33-page study.
‘We provide unprecedented histological evidence revealing detrimental pediatric testicular sex gland responses’ to the drugs.
Inconvenient studies that pharmaceutical companies don’t like, end up being buried. And this one won’t just be the subject of pressure campaigns from the drug companies, but from the Democratic party and leftist establishments across the culture.
And this is what they’re determined to cover up.
For their study, Mayo researchers looked at one of the largest collections of testicular samples for patients aged 0-17 years, including those with gender dysphoria who both did and did not take puberty blockers.
They focussed on 87 children, including 16 boys aged 10-16 who identified as girls.
Nine of them were already taking puberty blockers — one for just three months, another for more than four years.
Among the nine who were taking blockers, two had abnormal features on their testicles that could be spotted from a physical examination.
Researchers highlighted the case of a 12-year-old boy who had taken puberty blockers for 14 months.
Nearly 60 percent of his sex glands had ‘fully atrophied,’ they said.
There was also an ‘appearance of microlithiasis,’ or small clusters of calcium that are linked to testicular cancer.
This is the reality of the ‘Pause Button’. It’s a ‘Sterility Button’.
Excellent coverage. Thanks Daniel!
First do no harm. They already had that figured out in Ancient Greece.
I’ve been reading some about medieval medicine. Some of the pre-modern treatments were rather clever, not as stupid as one might think.
Population Control screwball Paul Ehrlich wants us all sterilized over this Population Bomb load of Malarkey he came up with back in 1968
Thanks Spurwing!!!
The left has many reality blockers. Puberty blockers are intended for depopulation and destroying numerous institutions of society.
Frontal lobotomies were all the rage from the 1930’s to the 1960’s. Lobotomies could cure depression, schizophrenia and every other known form of mental illness. Doctors were not troubled by the horrifying description of the “cured” individuals made by their relatives – it was as if their loved one had no soul.
It took more than 30 years to end this destruction of the personalities of 10’s of thousands of victims of medical malpractice.
The medical madness of puberty blockers is not the first deadly medical “fad” and unfortunately, will probably not be the last. This attempt to force reality to conform to a child’s delusions must be ended as soon as possible.
Also electroshock therapy.
Yes, gender dysphoria treatment is the new prefrontal lobotomy. At least, lobotomy and electric shock treatment pretended to treat the brain. Chemical and surgical treatment reassigning gender does not even pretend to treat the brain where the issue is, and more often has been induced.
As the sensible doctors will tell you who dealt with gender confused children (before trans adult activists pushed them out and hijacked the conversation), over 80% of kids who think they’re the opposite gender make their peace with their biology IF THEY’RE ALLOWED TO GO THROUGH PUBERTY. No wonder trans recruiters want to delay puberty even at the cost of increasing cancer risk or permanent damage to a child’s fertility.
It’s an outright LIE that kids denied early intervention will commit suicide as there is no change to the suicide rate before or after “transing”., a depressing situation either way.
The LGB lobby is pretty stupid to keep marching with T because the kids being encouraged to trans are disproportionately GAY (or autistic or with anxiety disorders) as witnessed by gay staff at the UK’s largest gender clinic Tavistock, now closed.. Adult Ts and their ignorant helpers are converting gay kids physically. The gay lobby has made talk therapy illegal for kids unhappy accepting they’re gay but you are allowed to lop off their privates and dose them with drugs and hormones that can be carcinogenic.. Wake up, LGBs! Ts are not your allies.
There’s no pause or do-overs on puberty. Though development ages differ between sexes and individuals, it’s still a pretty narrow span of time. One uses it or loses it.
When I was 16, a doctor who accurately predicted my ultimate height and healthy weight told me I would have been about two inches taller, except my biggest growth spurts happened in the winter, when I was starving and severely dehydrating myself for wrestling. I was stupid. I went undefeated when I quit worrying about weight class. But it was my own stupidity, nobody could force me to eat food or drink water. Every adult I talked to counciled against it, even my coaches. They were right.
These Comprachicos know what they’re doing to these children.
I knew hormone blockers gave males bones identical to people with bone disease, and classified them as disabled. I probably should have guessed the drugs themselves would also be dangerous.
When the pendulum swings the other way, there will be nowhere to hide for these monsters, these kids will want revenge and should get it.
The minute I read “assigned male at birth” or “assigned female at birth,” I know I can’t take that person seriously.
