UK Launches Review of Controversial Gender-Identity Treatment

Image
Home  Christian News  UK Launches Review of Controversial Gender-Identity Treatment UK Launches Review of Controversial Gender-Identity Treatment Puberty blockers After a tumultuous time of debate, whistleblowing, and lawsuits, Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) will conduct an independent review of its care and services for children and teenagers struggling with gender-identity development. The review—which will seek input from families, patients, and medical professionals—will explore the referral and treatment processes, including the use of controversial puberty-blocking drugs (also known as puberty blockers). It also will examine the recent exponential increase in young patients. During the past decade, the number of referrals to the NHS Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) rose from fewer than 100 to more than 2,500.  Concerns About Risk and Consent  GIDS is managed by the London-based Tavistock Centre, which has been accused of rushing gender-transi...

A California Court Dealt a Blow to Religious Liberty. It’s Time for SCOTUS to Act.

Image
The California Court of Appeals ruled that a transgender patient can sue a Catholic hospital for refusing to perform a hysterectomy. Yesterday, the California Court of Appeals issued a truly remarkable opinion in a truly remarkable case. It held that a Catholic hospital could indeed face legal liability for failing to perform a hysterectomy as part of a female-to-male “transition” — even though its policy broadly bans sterilization surgery generally (not just for trans individuals) and even though the hospital referred the patient to a non-Catholic facility in the same network. The patient obtained the hysterectomy a mere three days after the originally scheduled surgery date and sued anyway. The facts of the case are simple . The plaintiff, Evan Minton, initially scheduled a hysterectomy for August 30, 2016, at Mercy San Juan Medical Center (part of the Dignity Health hospital network) as a treatment for gender dysphoria. Mercy is a Catholic hospital, and the day before the ...

Transgender Ideology is More Irrational Than You Realized

Image
Trans people tell us reality is defined by what they identify as. Not only do they  think of themselves  as the opposite sex, but they  really are  the other sex. Reality itself changes to match their mental state.  There’s something seriously — and obviously — irrational going on here. Frankly, I’m surprised I haven’t seen it discussed more often.  If they can do that, why can’t the rest of us?  What If We All Thought We Could Do That? Imagine a conversation: Trans person:  “I was ‘assigned female’ at birth, but I identify as a man.” Answer:  “Ha! You may see yourself as male, but I see you as female.” Trans person:  “What?  Really!?  That’s so disrespectful! You’re so intolerant. You’re so bigoted. ” Answer:  “No, not at all. You’ve ‘assigned me’ as disrespectful, intolerant and bigoted. I identify as perfectly tolerant, respectful, sensitive and kind.” That’s just one way it might go. I could id...

Liberal Lawmakers Lawyers demand military accept trans-gender

Image
A group of liberal lawmakers has introduced legislation in both the House and the Senate to force the military to accept so-called transgender individuals as soldiers. Their plan is to take the issue away from President Trump, who has appropriately banned transgender individuals, and the Supreme Court, which recently ruled that the ban may go into effect while the courts examine the legal issues. People who claim to be transgender suffer from a serious medical condition – gender dysphoria – and refuse to accept the reality that they are the sex that matches their body at birth. So they have invented the concept of "gender identity" in order to claim that they are actually the opposite sex. And then they insist that the entire military be complicit in their delusion, treating biological men as women, and biological women as men. And to ensure that their appearance matches their gender identity and that they are emotionally secure in their transition, they demand that taxp...

Transgender activists accused of attempting to shut down debate

Image
Transgender activists have been accused of attempting to shut down debate, as a former children’s minister said that young people’s welfare is being “sacrificed on the altar of political correctness”. It's all the rage to confuse kids and their gender. Homosexuals have succeeded in promoting the sin of homosexuality as something good and anybody who simply disagrees is called intolerant a hater, a 1950's backward moralizer. Now transgender advocates are doing the same poor abusive argument style - shut down and abuse anybody who disagrees. CONFUSION AND HOMOSEXUAL BAD IDEOLOGY The women’s minister is facing a backlash after saying that she is “a little cautious” about the number of teenagers undergoing gender reassignment treatment. In other words - its trendy at the moment! Everybody thinks they are not who they are! Transgender is now being clearly revealed as a mental health problem. Kids are being confused by LGBT ideology being taught and permitted at school, in t...

Activist judge to Christian charged with LGBT ‘hate’ speech: ‘Truth…is simply not relevant’

Image
A Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled that the “truth” of statements made by a Christian about a transgender political candidate’s biological sex is “not relevant” and cannot be used as a “defence” against allegations that the Christian was engaging in “hate” speech. Christian and pro-family activist Bill Whatcott was hauled before the Tribunal last year on the grounds that he had engaged in “hate” speech for publicly exposing a transgender political candidate who claimed to be female, but who was born a biological male. The complainant, Mr Ronan Oger, who now goes by Ms Morgane Oger, was a candidate in the 2017 provincial election. Oger is the Vice-President of B.C.’s New Democratic Party (NDP). States court documents: “Ms. [sic] Oger was a candidate in the 2017 provincial election. During her [sic] candidacy, Mr Whatcott distributed hundreds of flyers in her [sic] riding. The flyers were titled ‘Transgenderism vs. Truth in Vancouver‐False Creek.’ They described Ms. [sic] Oger a...

Canadian pediatricians tell parents: it’s normal for your kid to switch genders every day

Image
The Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) has released a new set of guidelines for discussing transgenderism with children, encouraging parents to accept and reinforce their kids’ gender confusion . “More and more, parents are asking us when and how gender identity typically develops in children, what is considered typical behaviour, and what they should expect at certain ages,” CPS president Dr Mike Dickinson  said . “ Paediatricians are well-positioned to answer these questions and help parents promote healthy gender development in their children.” He explained that the guidelines were originally conceived as a “primer for our members,” but written as “something that might be helpful to the public at large,” to direct both parents and paediatricians on how to discuss transgenderism with children. The  guidelines  tell parents it is “normal and healthy” for children as young as two to “assume other gender identities at different times (sometimes even in the sa...

Twitter suspends commentator Mark Dice for saying transsexualism is a mental illness

Image
Mark Dice, famous for YouTube video interviews with random passers-by in public spaces, says that his Twitter account was suspended Thursday of last week after he implied that transgenderism is a mental illness. The exchange that led to Dice’s suspension began with a tweet by Dice on April 10, in which he  wrote , “58 different genders wasn't ‘inclusive’ enough for Facebook, so now instead of picking from a list of options, that section is a 'fill in the blank.'  The company is embracing mental illness on a massive scale.  # Zuckerberg ”. An outraged reader named “Davon” tweeted back to Dice, “Are you calling gender identity a mental illness? The fact that you're able to tweet this [EXPLETIVE] is proof enough that there's [no] liberal social media bias.” Dice then responded to “Davon,” writing, “All of them but two, yes.” Soon after the exchange, Dice’s response disappeared from his Twitter feed, and Dice announced via Facebook that Twitter had suspe...

Ohio groups fight back after parents lose custody of daughter for refusing gender ‘transition’

Image
Ohio family and life advocates gathered Monday morning to oppose the government removal of a child from her parents’ custody so that she can take hormones for so-called gender transition – calling the case a “dangerous affront to the rights of parents and the health and well being of children.” Ohio-based pro-family advocacy group Citizens for Community Values and Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati held a press conference on the Hamilton County Courthouse steps in Cincinnati to announce legislative and other action in response to what’s being called an unprecedented move against parental rights by a judge. The legislation and call to action are due to Hamilton County Judge Sylvia Hendon’s ruling to remove a minor girl from her parents’ custody, and place her with her grandparents so that Cincinnati Children’s Hospital can administer “sex-change” drugs. Hendon awarded full custody to the girl’s maternal grandparents  earlier this month after her parents did...

Vogue Paris to feature first ‘transgender’ man on cover

Image
A man who has taken drastic measures to make himself appear to be a woman will be on the cover of  Vogue Paris  next month. Brazilian model and actor Valentina Sampaio is an "absolute equal" to female fashion icons, editor-in-chief Emmanuelle Alt wrote. "Apart from one small detail, Valentina, the femme fatale, was born a boy. It's a detail one would prefer not to have to mention... but Valentina is on the cover of Vogue this month, not just for her looks or her sparkling personality, but because despite herself she embodies an age-old arduous struggle to be recognized and not to be perceived as something Other." In 2016, Sampaio appeared in a L'Oreal ad about how being a woman "transcends the body."  "This is my first Women's Day...officially," he says as he gets ready to be photographed as a woman for a new ID. Sampaio has   also appeared   on the cover of  Elle Brasil . Sampaio is "changing the face of f...

NAACP threatens North Carolina with boycott over law requiring men to use men’s bathrooms

Image
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is planning a boycott of North Carolina over its law ( HB-2 ) requiring people to use the bathroom matching their biological sex . The NAACP says the law amounts to "gender discrimination." They are urging major sports teams and organizations, religious bodies and conferences, and music stars to refuse to schedule any activities in the state. NAACP national president Cornell Brooks   said   at a press conference that "children … are being imperiled" by gender separate bathrooms. North Carolina chapter president William Barber called the state "a battleground ... for the soul of America ." The group equates homosexual and transgender affirmation with civil rights. "The pro-abortion NAACP decries bathroom 'discrimination' but has no problem with the real and violent discrimination that results in more black babies being aborted than born alive,"  ...

Bruce Jenner scolds Trump for transgender decision: ‘Call me’ to fix this ‘disaster.’

Image
Former Olympian turned “ transgender ” activist Bruce (“Caitlyn”) Jenner scolded President Trump on social media for   not renewing   a controversial Obama federal mandate pushing schools to allow “transgender” students to use opposite-sex bathrooms and changerooms, or risk losing federal funding. In the   video , Jenner, clad in what   CNN reported   was a “pink ‘pussy bow’ blouse,” takes a vicious shot at Attorney General Jeff Sessions , implicitly calling him a “bully” who is “picking” on vulnerable transgender people, including children, ostensibly due to his own LGBT -related insecurities. Jenner sent out a video on his   Twitter   and   Instagram   accounts. Talking directly to the camera, he says: "I have a message for President Trump from, well, one Republican to another. This is a disaster. And you can still fix it. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community " Holding up a mock phone to his head, Jenner says to Tru...
