Biden Admin “Encouraging” Gender Surgery for Kids? Child Abuse
The Biden Administration appears to be all in on sex change surgery and hormone treatments for children. HHS released a document titled “Gender Affirming Care and Young People” yesterday. At the same time, the National Child Traumatic Stress Network released a parallel document titled “Gender-Affirming Care Is Trauma-Informed Care.”
PBP has written about this topic many times.
It is child abuse.
The HHS document talks about “gender affirming surgeries” including “Top” surgery – to create male-typical chest shape or enhance breasts, “Bottom” surgery – surgery on genitals or reproductive organs, and Facial feminization. According to the document, none of these are reversible.
Think about it. The fact that it has the category “reversible or not” makes one realize that these people are not sure about the parents’ choices for the child and that there is no science behind this.
Again, it is child abuse.
The second document has the following excerpt:
“Providing gender-affirming care is neither child maltreatment nor malpractice. … There is no scientifically sound research showing negative impacts from providing gender-affirming care. The decision for the child welfare system to become involved in the lives of families, potentially to the extent of removing children from their families and homes, should be wielded with the utmost care, grounded in evidence, and always prioritizing the well-being of children and preservation of families.”
Never mind that this is a lie, there is a lot of evidence to show the harm of “gender-affirming care.” Governor Abbott of Texas has called gender-affirming treatments child abuse and, indeed has ordered Texas Child Protective Services to investigate any reported cases. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also issued a legal opinion, agreeing with the governor.
Further, maybe I am reading this funny, but it seems to open the door for teachers and other outsiders to meddle in the lives of families. Like for example, if a teacher thinks your daughter is athletic and therefore may be gay, then you’d better do something about it or the state will get involved (even though she is only eight years old and has not reached puberty yet, and therefore is not aware of sex at all).
In my opinion, this is brutally harmful propaganda that is picked up by really “woke” parents who are breathtakingly stupid, willing to allow their child to be harmed just to virtue signal to the world their acceptance of homosexuality.
For a third time, this is child abuse.
