Doctors have failed to warn young girls about the long-term implications of gender-change surgeries
When Chloe Cole was an impressionable 13-year-old, she began taking puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones – a set of drugs that delay natural biological changes. Two years later, surgeons removed her breasts in a double mastectomy. Only one doctor warned her about the potential adverse consequences of the surgery. She regrets not heeding that advice.
In the US, UK and other so-called advanced economies, children are frequently encouraged to choose their own ‘pronouns’, which in some cases has created confusion in their minds, experts say.of ‘gender-affirming care’ has become pervasive among the international medical establishment. It basically says that if a boy or a girl is confused about his or her gender, he or she can opt for medical intervention, which can involve surgeries.
“Fifteen years down the track, you have a baby, and you don’t have breasts, then you can’t do anything about it because it’s a kind of final decision. There is no going back.” Children with psychiatric issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder and bipolar disorder were being diagnosed with gender dysphoria and advised to go under the surgeon’s knife, Jamie Reed wrote in the article for The Free Press.Social contagion
Since the phenomenon is relatively recent, no thorough research is available to decipher the exact causes behind the surge in the number of girls showing up at transition centres. Experts say the biggest problem lies with the lack of research into the long-term consequences of gender-change therapies.In the UK and other so-called developed countries, the route to gender transition usually works something like this: a school-going girl tells her parents she wants to change her name and her appearance, is taken to see a psychiatrist who, after one or two visits refers the kid to an endocrinologist who in turn puts the child on medicines.
