Over the last 10 years, there’s been an exponential growth in the number of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria.
“Gender affirming care” prescribes puberty blockers to keep children from developing naturally. Doctors often claim puberty blockers merely “pause” physical development—suggesting children can “un-pause” the process and resume puberty at will.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Psychiatric nurse, Dave Wayne, joins us to continue our series about commonly prescribed medications which may have detrimental side effects.
We discuss the realities of puberty blockers, including:
• the fact they’re used to chemically castrate sex offenders in Europe
• the irreversible physical damage they cause
• the resulting cognitive impairment
The research is clear—puberty blockers cause irreparable harm to children’s emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
It’s high time we adults start protecting children, as opposed to “affirming” their delusions.
