I have filed a complaint about the Royal Childrens Gender Clinic refusal to look at the Cass & WParth report given their "Australian Standards for Care" (they arent Australian standards) specifically Reference 14 which they use to declare that Puberty Blockers are 100% reversible and that my child will not be sterilised amongst other things (which the study does not say) seems to contradict itself to the evidence. I have also complained about the Victoria Health Department having no definition of de-transition. My autistic child was only given these drugs on the chance their childhood gender dysphoria may persist. This is medical malpractice not caring about children stopping their drugs.

I'm in the same boat with my child being put on blockers with the doctor saying it gives him more time to decide. Unfortunately it doesn't what can we do as parents?

[@jonahansen]

@@simondale4189 You can always refuse treatment, at least in the US.

[@tarnw3301]

If it were my child, I would print the Cass Review and then, in a written form, I would make my son's doctors sign that they have received from me the Cass Review. They will plead ignorance when they get demanded for malpractice, and you will have proof they knew. That can help at least another father to destroy the Frankenstein doctor.

[@lat-roc9733]

@@tarnw3301 The child is a child. This is 100% on the Doctors. They lied to my partner but couldnt lie to me - instead I was removed

[@lat-roc9733]

You need to ensure your Clinic reads and acknowledges the Cass Report. When they refuse - such as the Vic RCH, you need to lodge complaints all the way to APHA. Then of course challenge the Doctors for sterlilise your child As for the Doctors Standards and pull them a part You need to make to Doctors very uncomfortable without swearing

[@allister8053]

Why are children not allowed to get tattoos? Why are they not allowed to drink alcohol? But the trans activist think they can make the choice to be sterilised and be mutilated..... irreversible. 😇

[@lat-roc9733]

Because the Doctors are ideologues.

[@takatamiyagawa5688]

Pretty sure alcohol is known to have some negative effects on developing brains, and children will likely fail to consider the social consequences of permanent tattoos. They won't miss much by waiting until they're 18. When it comes to treatments like puberty blockers, they only work when the patient is young. The opportunity will be lost if they wait until they're an adult. Advise them as well as possible while they're still children, and if they still say they want the treatment, let them have it. There are no better test subjects than those who are willing. Someone is going to do it eventually, so it may as well be done sooner rather than later. Learning from our own mistakes is too inefficient, we must learn from the mistakes of those who came before.

@@takatamiyagawa5688 Wow this is fun..... Pretty sure alcohol is known to have some negative effects on developing brains, and children will likely fail to consider the social consequences of permanent tattoos. They won't miss much by waiting until they're 18. Yes you are right about alcoho and tattoos.... but it is ok for children to make decisions to sterilise themselves and permanently disfigure themselves... really? Because they have gender dysphoria... which the treatment should not be surgery but for a mental health condition. When it comes to treatments like puberty blockers, they only work when the patient is young. The opportunity will be lost if they wait until they're an adult. Mhh, yes you are right the patient would loose the effectiveness of the puberty blocker but be saved from being sterilise and permanently disfigured. Good thing? Advise them as well as possible while they're still children, and if they still say they want the treatment, let them have it. Mhh, so you have patient with a very immature mind and you let them take life changing decisions on treatment courses which are not the best ones? Maybe we should let them have a gun while they are at it. There are no better test subjects than those who are willing. Someone is going to do it eventually, so it may as well be done sooner rather than later. Test subjects..... these are vulnerable immature people and not guinea pigs. They should actually be protected from themselves, counselled and treated for a psychological illness... not a physical one. Learning from our own mistakes is too inefficient, we must learn from the mistakes of those who came before. Spot on......Give them the time to develop the rational ability and experience to gain the wisdom. Oh it is not a race.

There will be endless anger and regret from the trans world. We shouldn’t concern ourselves with it. Let them live with the consequences of their dedication to evil.

[@isaacharvey]

The 'trans world' is our world when the brainwashing is brought into our kid's schools, and when the treatments are subsidised by our taxes, so we do need a certain level of concern. But other than that, agree to let an individual make their own choices, however regrettable or self-destructive.

[@malcolmchevrier6866]

I believe we have reached the point in time that this statement was created to describe. "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than willful ignorance and conscientious stupidity." To not be aware; children are being transitioned is the reality of my family because, they do not want to know.

[@YourMomLivesHere]

Also described as mass formation psychosis, where almost an entire populace has been subjected to this type of mental waterboarding meant to hypnotize people into a certain level of blissful ignorance at the cost of children.

[@johnl5316]

This clinical psychologist would ban all such modifications for adults

Nonsensex

[@TrueCrimeDoula]

I can't tell you how many times I've had people say to me, well, you're wrong, less than 1% of the population regrets having transitioned. There's so much at stake with citing actual numbers that are claiming to reflect the population, it's a wonder that we believe any statistics at all. I see the same thing in the birth world in terms of breastfeeding. Any dialogue that goes against the narrative is instantly shot through with bigger, louder numbers that reflect the original message. I don't know how I personally know that there are far more than 1% of people disgruntled by the transition that they endured, but it just seems like you have to open your eyes a little more on social media platforms and listen to actual stories.

Neither of them have ever are close to being qualified to draw the conclusions they do.

There is no study greater or more qualified than the Cass Report. But I bet you wouldn't accept that either.

Data has been kept on this since the 1984 by UCLA. The total number people of trans are 0.05% of the population. It's an absurd statement for the politicians/academics, etc to discuss 'trans rights' and trans issues.
