Evidence before Senate Committee shows Gay and Lesbian children singled out for Trans Sterilization

CONVERSION TO HETEROSEXUALITY THROUGH TRANS STERILIZATION

THIS needs to be seen by the LGB community.

Converting gays to straight was known as conversion therapy. For those who underwent this conversion therapy as a gay or lesbian, they reported it to be damaging and humiliating. At that point conversion therapy was talk therapy. I do not doubt that there accounts of damage were true and lasting.

According to the below senate brief, the bulk of children being chosen for trans surgeries are likely if left alone, turn out to be gay.

Then the process of changing their gender through extreme medicalization CONVERTS THEM TO STRAIGHT. But it is more vile than talk therapy. It is cutting off body parts and medicalizing them with hormones to make them straight.

THE HISTORY BOOKS WILL HATE THIS OPEN SEASON ON GAY CHILDREN. IT WILL. Rather than being pro-pride, THIS COLLECTION OF CHILDREN INTO A SYSTEM OF MEDICALIZATION IS ANTI LGB. It is only pro -T profiteers. The ones setting up the system for surgeries and medicalization which will be adopted in stage two for the trans-humanism. The race under the skin has found its departure point in the departure of the body of birth.

Brief to Senate: Bill C-6

“To the Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs

Regarding Bill C-6

An Act to amend the Criminal Code (conversion therapy)

Submitted by The Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine

May 4, 2021

The Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) is a non-partisan, non-profit, scientific organization comprised of medical specialists in endocrinology, pediatrics, psychiatry, obstetrics, and family medicine, as well as scientists, clinicians, psychologists, researchers, and medical educators. Our mission is to promote safe, compassionate, ethical, and evidence informed healthcare for children, adolescents, and young adults with gender dysphoria.

As currently written, Bill C-6 has serious problems that are likely to lead to reduced access to quality healthcare for a key subset of the population it aims to protect: young people suffering from gender dysphoria.

Using the term “conversion therapy” in the context of gender dysphoria is not only misleading but also inaccurate. “Conversion therapy” refers to an ideological and, historically, religiously motivated effort to “convert” lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals to become heterosexual.

Conversion therapy has not been practiced or supported in any domain of Canada’s health system for at least 30 years in relation to LGB individuals. To suggest that this practice is being applied to gender-questioning youth is erroneous and will only serve to further inflame the already highly politicized field of transgender medicine.

In young people, gender dysphoria arises from a wide range of causes, often in complex developmental and family contexts (Churcher Clarke & Spiliadis, 2019; D’Angelo, 2020). Should Bill C-6 pass as written, it will effectively make it illegal to consider the role of developmental, family, and mental health issues in generating or contributing to a young person’s gender dysphoria. There is a very real risk that all forms of supportive and explorative psychotherapies for young patients who present with gender dysphoria will be classified as “conversion”.

A dozen studies have concluded that the majority (61-98%) of children who struggle with gender-related issues will identify with their biological sex before reaching mature adulthood, either spontaneously, or with the help of ethical, supportive psychotherapy (Ristori & Steensma, 2016; Singh, 2021).

Most gender-dysphoric children and adolescents grow up to be lesbian, gay, or bisexual adults. Prioritizing medical transition, while making it extremely difficult or even impossible to access noninvasive approaches to managing gender dysphoria, could actually be viewed as a form of conversion therapy, disproportionally affecting the population of lesbian, gay, or bisexual adults.

The notion of “first, do no harm” dictates that noninvasive treatments should be attempted before invasive, risky, and irreversible interventions, based on low-quality evidence, are considered (D’Angelo et al., 2020). Attempts to conflate ethical and developmentally-informed psychotherapy with harmful conversion therapy are particularly problematic given the rise of a new population of gender dysphoric adolescents, composed primarily of females suffering from significant mental health and neurodevelopmental comorbidities with no childhood history of gender distress, for whom psychological interventions may be more appropriate (Bewley et al., 2019; Cantor, 2018; de Graaf & Carmichael, 2019; de Vries, 2020; Ristori & Steensma, 2016).

Emerging evidence about regret following irreversible interventions in this novel population of adolescents is now recognized (Butler & Hutchinson, 2020; Entwistle, 2020; Griffin et al., 2020, Vandenbussche, 2021).

To date, the evidence for medical treatments in general is recognized to be “low” or “very low quality,” as acknowledged by the Endocrine Society and several systematic reviews (Hembree et al., 2017; Heneghan, Carl & Jefferson, Tom, 2019; Hruz, 2020; NICE, 2020a; NICE, 2020b).

A recently completed review of evidence conducted by the UK NHS / NICE concluded that the evidence of benefits of medical interventions for youth is of very low quality and needs to be carefully weighed against the risks of these interventions, which range from bone health to fertility to cardiovascular problems (Alzahrani et al., 2019; NICE, 2020a; NICE, 2020b).

These concerns have prompted several European countries, including the UK, Sweden, and Finland to curb the wide-spread use of medical interventions, and put a greater emphasis on the role of psychological interventions. In April 2021, a policy went into effect in Sweden, discontinuing the use of all hormonal interventions (including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones) for children under 16, and asserting that any medical interventions happen only in research settings with proper informed consent (The Karolinska Hospital Policy Statement,2021). The UK is reviewing its approach to medical care for gender dysphoric minors (known as the “Cass Review”), following its High Court Ruling that found puberty blockade to be experimental, and that young gender dysphoric people can rarely consent to hormonal treatments. (Bell-v-Tavistock Judgement, 2020 ; “NHS to Hold Review into Gender Identity Services for Children and Young People,” 2020). Finland has also updated its treatment guidelines in the last 12 months, prioritizing psychological support over irreversible medical treatments for gender dysphoric minors.

Canada should pay close attention to these international developments. As the awareness of the low-certainty of benefits and the significant potential for harm of hormonal interventions in gender-dysphoric minors grows worldwide, it is critical that young people suffering from gender dysphoria have unfettered access to non-invasive modalities that help them alleviate their distress.

Mental health practitioners play a unique role in the lives of young people because of their understanding of the complexity of childhood and adolescent psychosexual development. We recommend that the Canadian government reaffirm its support for developmentally informed psychological approaches for the management of gender dysphoria in young people and protect the rights of gender dysphoric patients to access noninvasive solutions for their distress.

The irony is that the previous conversion of gay people was extremely harmful to them. But it did not involve lopping of genitals, taking out reproductive organs, removing the ability to orgasm, making them take medicines that impact heart lungs bones and mental health or divide them from loving families. Make no mistake this conversion to heterosexual through the alteration of their bodies and through pain and often remorse, is far worse then talk therapy. Speak truth to protect all children including LGB children. From the T-profiteers.

The race under the skin is on the scale of the race to the moon. (or to Sudbury craters as you have it). Or the arms race. And they need their starting point. We are being bullied into believing this is pro-LGB. Raise the flag in schools, bring the kids to drag queens. Let Trans erase their criminal records with new identities. Hide the referrals to gender therapy from parents. It is all very sinister to have so much glitter and unicorns and rainbows.

We are so AFRAID of cancel culture we tiptoe in eggshell slippers round the woke anger.

1. PEOPLE CAN NO LONGER THINK FOR THEMSELVES;

2. THEY WANT TO BE TOLD BY THE CLUB OR CULT WHAT IS GOOD TO SUPPORT AND WHAT IS BAD TO SUPPORT;

3. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FIRST PRINCIPLED THINKING;

4. THEY ARE AFRAID SO AFRAID OF BEING CALLED BIGOT THAT THEY WILL STAND SILENT WHILE REAL BIGOTRY HAPPENS BY THE WHITE COATS ON THE CHILDREN OF OUR COMMUNITIES;

5. THE CONTROL OF THE PRESS HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE. THE PRESS NO LONGER CHALLENGES THE DIFFICULT NOTIONS OR GOVERNMENTS DEEDS IN OUR SOCIETY;

6. THEY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE RAINBOW AND GOOD FOR THE RAINBOW BECAUSE THEY TRUST the government and the PR bullshit.

7. They think that progressive is left and all that the left does is saintly so they cannot question it.

8. they’ve been taught that questioning your government on anything is dangerous, both because your government watches you and because those who do that have been called names;

9. they think being called a phobe is worse then letting their whole society slide into a degenerative sink hole;

10. they’ve been taught WE the people on the right are just plain bad and supremacists.

11. if they understand and start questioning this narrative oh.oh. what does that mean about the pandemic the vaccines etc. etc. (FYI I BELIEVE THE WORLD IS ROUND I DO NOT CONTROL WHAT PEOPLES BELIEF SYSTEM IS.)

12. THEY were taught that religious people are bigots instead of just likeable members of the greater community.

13. bots and talking heads have influenced the narrative so much they don’t know how to think for themselves.

This bill C-6 creates instead a system that enables a new conversion therapy of gay people and prevents through threat of jail all those who would stand in the way of that conversion.

Great work for a eugenist if you can find it.

So WITH THE RAINBOW PRIDE FLAG FLYING HIGH, this conversion seems to top the charts of UNTENABLE things done to gay people: cuts off their breasts while a minor; sterilizes them as a minor; cuts out their reproductive organs as a minor; lops off their penises as a minor; puts them at the risk of complications, infections, even death, puts them on medical treatments that increase risks of cancer of bone degeneration, depression, suicidal ideation; that alters their voice box, their physical stature, that creates baldness, and prevents orgasms for life: its done to minors without parental knowledge or consent and those who oppose? well Trudeau would love to see them jailed.

When you fly the Rainbow flag what is in the shadow? Who is actually duped by this? and who is just afraid of being cancelled? Gays must speak up against this bill C-6 and speak up against the medicalization of children. They might have to dump the rainbow now that the globalists, the technocrats and T-scalpel profiteers have appropriated it.

Ironically it is faith based people standing against the complete swarming of all our institutions.

Think on that. the New bedfellows are Christians, Jews, Muslims of faith and the LGB who have been privy to the issues, standing against T-profiteers.

Many gay people are well placed, wealthy, organized, motivated, and have practice at organizing for change. The Aids epidemic provided that organization. You LGB must dip into the issues and the debate.

When you do so, you can say you are protecting all children, and all our institutions from technocrats, BUT especially you can protect the idea of who you were as a child. You were different, and imagine someone hunting and selecting you for that difference (and while vulnerable), celebrating it, only to convince you to take off your penis or breasts and ovaries, or take medication that has consequences because of that difference. And then drop you like a hot potato once complete. That is how predatory organizations work.

Speak up and organize.

This bill c-6 forces medicalization and sterilization of gay people so they can conform to the standard of hetero WITHOUT ANY PAUSE BUTTON OR PROTECTIONS. BECAUSE TRUDEAU WANTS TO SEND THE PEOPLE PRESSING PAUSE TO JAIL. INCLUDING THE ONES WHO LOVE THAT CHILD.

THE RAINBOW is obscuring the truth. It is a flag by and for the technocrats now. It is the flag of the T-profiteers. It is a flag for one global nation. It is the flag that obscures and hides the hunting of children. And they want it in our schools. in our libraries.

let that sink in.

I cant say it enough. worst conversion therapy OF GAYS I have ever heard of. The trans-profiteer movement- is it really pro LGB or is it hunting the LGB with the help of the government.

And if that’s happening. why. It is seriously time lift up the blinders on this issue. Bill c6 has nothing to do with protecting gays from conversion. It is the twisting of words and notions with talking points. And you must NEVER ever allow the testing of the logic. The way it works is one way open your mouth for the spoon and swallow. Unfortunately for the technocrats, that’s not how I work.

If I am testing you. I hope I am testing your better nature. If you are really an ally of LGB you wont allow the further T-profiteering.

Have you noticed the aggression the anger? Does that seem like the LGB movement of the past. Not that I remember.

From the LGB perspective I should think, WE ARE AT AN ALL HANDS ON DECK MOMMENT. So I hope they or if its you, you get it. What’s going on is actually quite sinister and evil. It is time the the LGB to rip up the flag if its cover for hunting their youth. I’m convinced it is.
