And the American left is all in for promoting this. The real question is why they do this. Is it that they support any deviancy to protect and normalize their own particular flavor? Is it virtue signaling to feel good about their otherwise miserable lives? Is it a reactionary reflex brought on by hatred of conservative values? Demonic possession? Or maybe it's all of the above.

"Before Columbia, I would have dismissed right-wing complaints about queer, postcolonial, critical race and other "critical" theories as culture-war hysteria. I soon came to understand that in Ivy League humanities classrooms, critical theories aren't fringe ideas. They are foundational ideologies with real-world political ambitions.
Critical theory treats moral norms, scientific categories and even common sense as products of power. It tells us that the only reason we believe certain things are true is because it serves the interests of "dominant" groups for us to believe them. It follows that liberation requires dismantling inherited forms of knowledge.
Queer theory applies this approach to sexuality by framing sexual identity as a site of resistance. One of the earliest readings I encountered was by the theorist David Halperin, who defined "queer" as "whatever is at odds with the normal, the legitimate, the dominant.""

So it took 25 years of studying this issue to come up with what the general public has figured out own their own…the Drs doing this should lose their license at a very minimum… they are the "enablers" along with the leftist media and in some cases the parents of these people that were young.

A new study with a total cohort of close to 20,000 participants has been published. In Finland, those receiving transgender operations were required to registered with the health department and their outcomes were looked at over the course of 25 years. The results are clear: so-called "trans affirming care" led to drastic increases in suicide rates as well as higher requirements for psychiatric treatment.

The study, published this week in Acta Paediatrica, was led by Professor Riittakerttu Kaltiala of Tampere University Hospital.

This is stating the obvious for many here, but look to the media and the agendas to be sweeping this under the rug and trying to discredit it as soon as they can.

No, it didn't "take 25 years to come up with this", this is the result of a massive 25 year study.

Good data with solid scientific principles will always be valuable.

We really haven't spent enough on this to understand it. We need a lot more grants and tax money to study gender status to really be able to understand how we can positively affect these children. The reason they keep going back and failing is because we haven't done enough.
