Protect kids: Break the grip of transgender extremism

The United States persists in being an outlier nation when it comes to OKing drugs and surgery on tweens and teens despite the growing evidence that for most kids gender-confusion is simply a phase.

Much of Europe has moved away from the junk science surrounding gender transition, especially pediatric gender transition.

Yet transgender extremism has a tight grip on the US medical establishment, cultural elites, progressive politicians — and school boards.

As Karol Markowitz notes, a major, 15-year Dutch study just confirmed that transgenderism among children is largely a fad.

Researchers in the Netherlands found that most teens experiencing gender dysphoria eventually “outgrew” it (with many resolving larger mental-health issues) and felt adjusted by early adulthood.

Federal rules issued under President Barack Obama told doctors they couldn’t decline to perform gender reassignment surgery on kids if it’s recommended by a “mental health professional.”
