Woudn't teaching children that trans people and families exist be preparing them to interact with trans people and families.
Perverts weren't mentioned, or even alluded to in the video. There was no reference at all to perverts.
In Baltimore, 23 schools had kids who could not do math Maybe when they asked how many women are in this picture and they showed Lia Thomas The kids said 0 And they were right but the woke school district said no? @Commodore @Salvy @AroundTheWorld
The type of people who believe all trans people are perverts are the type that attend those small rural churches listening to preachers saying this kind of stuff:
Do you believe that being transgender it and of itself is a danger? They all transgender people are dangerous?
https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/tavistock-transgender-clinic-shut-down/ Tavistock Transgender Clinic Shut Down Over Safety Concerns In the UK, there is just one specialist clinic which provides gender identity services for adolescents and children: the Gender Identity Development Service at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. But following a review commissioned by NHS England and led by Dr. Hilary Cass, a consultant paediatrician, the Tavistock clinic will now be shut down over concerns for the safety of children. Back in March, Cass published an interim report which unearthed some remarkable discoveries. It found that several doctors had felt “pressured to adopt an unquestioning approach” when treating children with gender dysphoria. As the report added, “this is at odds with the standard process of clinical assessment and diagnosis that they [doctors] have been trained to undertake in all other clinical encounters.” There were even implications that the politically correct dogmas of the surrounding culture have played an unhelpful role in paralysing the ability of medical personnel to perform their proper duty of care. Indeed, the report stated that many doctors have felt “nervous” about treating trans patients, “partly because of the lack of formal clinical guidance, and partly due to the broader societal context.” It also found that, contrary to the zealous certainties of the trans lobby, there is a “lack of consensus and open discussion” about the nature of gender dysphoria and “therefore about the appropriate clinical response.” This lack of established, conventional knowledge has been worsened, the report added, by the need for Tavistock to adapt “rapidly and organically in response to demand.” As a result, the report concluded, the clinical approach and overall service design has not benefited from the “normal quality controls that are typically applied when new or innovative treatments are introduced.” Particularly striking has been the exponential rise in the number of young referrals to the Tavistock clinic in the last decade. For example, in 2010-11, there were only 138 people referred to seek help for their gender identity. By 2018-19, that figure had risen to 2,743—an increase of almost 1900%. The vast majority of those referrals were young people aged between 12 and 17, although it has not been unknown for even younger “trans-identifying” individuals to seek transitioning treatment. Trans activists like to claim that the increased uptake is the result of increased tolerance: adolescents, so the argument goes, now feel more able to come out as openly transgender. However, given the astronomical extent of the rise, there are also many who argue that the rapid spread of transgender ideology among young people has caused a social contagion that would not otherwise be gripping the minds of teenagers. The clinic will be shut down by next spring. Cass also recommended that further research should be undertaken into the use of puberty blockers on young people, following concerns that there is “insufficient evidence” of their effectiveness and possible impacts. There will additionally be investigations made into other factors that may cause gender dysphoria in adolescents, including mental health, neurodiversity, and other comorbidities which often afflict Tavistock patients. According to Cass’s interim report, of course, these factors were often neglected in the past because doctors were too eager to affirm, rather than question, a child’s self-identity. NHS England has said that it now acknowledges the importance of establishing “regional services that work to a new clinical model that can better meet the holistic needs of a vulnerable group of children and young people.” These new regional centres will be established in due course. Dr. Cass’s independent review continues and is bound to shed further light on this peculiar phenomenon which so impacts the mental health, well-being, and flourishing of the most vulnerable among us.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...elieves-girls-dont-like-pink-transgender.html NHS's only gender service for children believes all girls who don't like 'pink ribbons and dollies' must be transgender, whistleblower claims Dr David Bell said the NHS Trust thinks girls who don't like dolls are transgender He warned the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust had 'misunderstood' children Dr Bell worked as a consultant psychiatrist at the trust at Swiss Cottage, London He has branded trust's Gender Identity Development Service 'not fit for purpose' The NHS's only gender service for children believes all girls who do not like 'pink ribbons and dollies' must be transgender, a whistleblower has claimed. Dr David Bell, a consultant psychiatrist who worked at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, which runs the UK's only gender identity development service for children, has said the department had a 'rigid, binary construction of gender'. And that the service's 'only acceptable explanation' for children who are 'unwilling or unable to conform to gender stereotypes' is that they are transgender. He also slammed the service's work for putting youngsters on the path to lifelong medical treatment, speaking at a conference organised by Genspect, a support group for gender-questioning children and young people. Dr Bell's comments come after he resigned from the trust earlier this year, nearly three years after his damning 2019 internal report which claimed that the trust’s Gender Identity Development Service, was ‘not fit for purpose’. At the time, he concluded that ‘children’s needs are being met in a woeful, inadequate manner and some will live on with the damaging consequences’. Dr Bell described the service's work as a 'gateway to puberty blockers', adding that around 98 per cent of teens who received the treatment later took cross-sex hormones. He summarised the service's 'construction of gender' as 'if you don't like pink ribbons and dollies you are not really a girl' and claimed the centre is pushing drugs and even surgery on children as 'a form of conversion therapy'. He said most youngsters would go on to be gay of lesbian with 'proper' treatment, without elaborating, the Telegraph reported. In the 2019 report, Dr Bell wrote that the service was not fully considering factors in a child’s background, such as previous abuse or autism, which might influence their decision to transition. The report found some children were referred for puberty-blocking hormones after just one session. The clinic in Swiss Cottage, north west London, also allegedly bowed to pressure from ‘highly politicised’ campaigners despite some children ‘taking up a trans identity as a solution to problems such as historic child abuse in the family, bereavement... homophobia and a very significant incidence of autism spectrum disorder’. Cases which raised concerns included a girl who felt ‘guilty’ when her brother died suddenly, so she attempted to give her parents ‘their son back’ by changing gender. Some parents also sought transition for their children because they were gay. The report resulted in the resignation of the trust's governor Marcus Evans, who had worked there for more than 30 years. Evans at the time said he had serious concerns about ‘what is going on in the gender identity world’. In October, the government announced a six-week consultation, which will close on December 10, on how to legislate against the practice of trying to change someone's sexual preferences through counselling. Adults who try to persuade children to change gender identity will be breaking the law under new legislation. It will also further outlaw gay conversion therapy, which is already covered under other offences. It came after Keira Bell, 24, took legal action against the Tavistock and Portman Trust, arguing that children cannot properly consent to taking hormone drugs. The legal challenge was also brought by Mrs A, the mother of a 15-year-old autistic girl who is currently on the waiting list for treatment. In December last year, the High Court had said it was 'highly unlikely' that a child under 13 would be able to consent to the treatment, and that it was 'doubtful' that a child of 14 or 15 would understand the consequences. Though Ms Bell declared the ruling a victory for 'common sense', campaigners from Stonewall and Mermaids called the judgment an 'absolutely devastating blow for trans young people across the country'. In a surprise judgment last month, appeal judges found doctors should use their clinical judgment rather than needing a court's approval to provide treatment - overruling the High Court's assessment on the issue. Writing on CrowdJustice earlier this month, Ms Bell announced that she is now seeking permission to appeal to the Supreme Court. She said she was 'obviously disappointed with the ruling of the Court and especially that it did not grapple with the significant risk of harm that children are exposed to by being given powerful experimental drugs'
Why did the NHS let me change sex? Keira Bell tells her story in the hope that it will 'serve as a warning to others' In an interview earlier this year, Keira told the Daily Mail what happened to her, in order to highlight her plight and, she says, serve as a warning to others. Keira was brought up in Hertfordshire, with two younger sisters, by her single mother, as her parents had divorced. Her father, who served in the U.S. military in Britain and has since settled here, lived a few miles away. She was always a tomboy, she said. She did not like wearing skirts, and can still vividly remember two occasions when she was forced by her family to go out in a dress. She told the Daily Mail: 'At 14, I was pitched a question by my mother, about me being such a tomboy. She asked me if I was a lesbian, so I said no. She asked me if I wanted to be a boy and I said no, too.' But the question set Keira thinking that she might be what was then called transsexual, and today is known as transgender. 'The idea was disgusting to me,' she tells me. 'Wanting to change sex was not glorified as it is now. It was still relatively unknown. Yet the idea stuck in my mind and it didn't go away.' Keira's road to the invasive treatment she blames for blighting her life, began after she started to persistently play truant at school. An odd one out, she insisted on wearing trousers — most female pupils there chose skirts — and rarely had friends of either sex. When she continually refused to turn up at class as a result of bullying, she was referred to a therapist. She told him of her thoughts that she wanted to be a boy. Very soon, she was referred to her local doctor who, in turn, sent her to the child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) near her home. From there, because of her belief that she was born in the wrong body, she was given treatment at the Tavistock Keira had entered puberty and her periods had begun. 'The Tavistock gave me hormone blockers to stop my female development. It was like turning off a tap,' she says. 'I had symptoms similar to the menopause when a woman's hormones drop. I had hot flushes, I found it difficult to sleep, my sex drive disappeared. I was given calcium tablets because my bones weakened.' Keira claims she was not warned by the Tavistock therapists of the dreadful symptoms ahead. Her breasts, which she had been binding with a cloth she bought from a transgender internet site, did not instantly disappear. 'I was in nowhere land,' she says. Yet back she went to the Tavistock, where tests were run to see if she was ready for the next stage of her treatment after nearly a year on blockers. A few months later, she noticed the first wispy hairs growing on her chin. At last something was happening. Keira was pleased. She was referred to the Gender Identity Clinic in West London, which treats adults planning to change sex. After getting two 'opinions' from experts there, she was sent to a hospital in Brighton, East Sussex, for a double mastectomy, aged 20. By now, she had a full beard, her sex drive returned, and her voice was deep. After her breasts were removed, she began to have doubts about becoming a boy. Despite her doubts, she pressed on. She changed her name and sex on her driving licence and birth certificate, calling herself Quincy (after musician Quincy Jones) as she liked the sound of it. She also altered her name by deed poll, and got a government-authorised Gender Recognition Certificate making her officially male. In January last year, soon after her 22nd birthday, she had her final testosterone injection. But, after years of having hormones pumped into your body, the clock is not easily turned back. It is true that her periods returned and she slowly began to regain a more feminine figure around her hips. Yet her beard still grows. 'I don't know if I will ever really look like a woman again,' she said. 'I feel I was a guinea pig at the Tavistock, and I don't think anyone knows what will happen to my body in the future.' Even the question of whether she will be able to have children is in doubt. She has started buying women's clothes and using female toilets again, but says: 'I worry about it every time in case women think I am a man. I get nervous. I have short hair but I am growing it and, perhaps, that will make a difference.' By law she is male, and she faces the bureaucratic nightmare of changing official paperwork back to say she is female.
This is a serious question. What is it that you fear that in general a transgender person might do to a child? Do you believe that being transgender is the same or will lead to pedophilia?
To me, it depends on the individual, so I would not agree with the blanket statement made. However, it is known (and actually brought forward as an argument by transgender activists) that people who are transgender have a lot more mental health problems than the average person. So if that were a concern in terms of leaving your child alone with someone, that they might have a mental health problem, then the statement is possibly less discriminatory than it is simply made out of concern for the well-being of the child and also the transgender person?
Enough with the pearl clutching. This is not a public freakout. This is from an Arkansas hearing on gender reassignment surgery for minors and the doctor is transgendered. The question from the Arkansas senator is valid in this context: if transgender kids need to get their genitalia cut off does this doctor still have their male genitalia. My guess is yes.
