An incredibly troubling report is laying out just how our laws are being changed by the transgender lobby in order to irrevocably mutilate children in service to a political agenda.
From the Christian Post:
Medical doctors and a mom of a trans-identifying child are urging the government to shut down medical operations that are harming children.
Their efforts to resist the medicalization of gender has led them to discover that government-funded research now allows wrong sex hormones such as testosterone to be given to girls as young as 8.
At a Thursday panel at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, Dr. Michael Laidlaw addressed the medical harms of hormonal treatments and surgical interventions being performed on young people who believe they are the opposite sex. Doctors administering these treatments are advocating these harmful practices on increasingly younger children, he explained.
Today, medical scenarios such as girls as young as 13 and 14 undergoing double mastectomies and 17-year-old boys with penises of 9-year-olds, developmentally speaking, because of chemical puberty blockers, are now showing up, Laidlaw, a Rocklin, California-based endocrinologist, explained in his remarks.
Under the nebulous concept of “gender identity,” children as young as 8 are receiving injections for gender transition treatment, he explained. The phrase was defined in a recent court case as a person’s “core internal sense” of their own gender and that it was the “primary factor” in determining their sex, not biology. This is false, the endocrinologist said.
No blood test, genetic testing, or brain imaging scans can find a “gender identity,” Laidlaw said, adding “there is no objective test to diagnose this, yet we are giving very harmful therapies on the basis of no objective diagnosis.”
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Laidlaw says that he discovered the the government quietly changed laws in order to allow quack doctors to deliver bizarre therapy to very young kids:
“This whole thing is an experiment on children. We are ignoring the voices of desisters and people who have come out of this and recognize their sex. And the NIH is allowing unethical research to be conducted on adolescents, in my opinion.”
Laidlaw and his colleagues used FOIA requests to obtain more information about Olson-Kennedy’s study at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and found that in 2017 they lowered the minimum age for cross-sex hormones from 13 to 8.
“Imagine giving 8-year-old girls testosterone,” Laidlaw said. “They are in 3rd or 4th grade. This is unbelievable. But this is going on.”

Thank God for the Heritage Foundation hosting these events to speak out on this issue and others, and the Christian Post for reporting it. These are truly dark days. And it’s going to get worse.
