If we lived in a world where children simply wore practical clothes, and play games according to their interest, the diagnosis would fall away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Note how it says “typically masculine<\/strong><\/em>” and “typically <\/strong>feminine<\/em>” – what does that mean?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nChildren do not have an innate sense that “blue equals boy”. Did you know that 100 years ago pink was a boy’s colour. https:\/\/gimletmedia.com\/shows\/every-little-thing\/wbhabn”>Every Little Thing podcast even did an episode about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“Typically masculine<\/em>” means adhering to stereotypes<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_historical_sources_for_pink_and_blue_as_gender_signifiers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>What do the expert advocates say?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMermaids UK<\/a><\/em> is a charity that “has been supporting transgender, nonbinary and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families since 1995<\/a>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn training sessions they explain, to police and toddlers alike, that gender is a spectrum from Barbie to GI Joe. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMermaids deal in stereotypes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom a Mermaids training – a highly influential UK charity for trans kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/span>Sterilised and surgically mutilated<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen Australian campaigner Katherine Deves tweeted about \u201cvulnerable children surgically mutilated and sterilised<\/strong>\u201d she was lambasted in the press. <\/p>\n\n\n\nChildren diagnosed with gender dysphoria are put on a treatment pathway: social transition, puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, followed by a selection of surgeries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers cause sterility. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dylan Wilson is a Queensland paediatrician. He describes puberty blockade<\/a> as freezing the child’s body in time, preventing formation of sperm or eggs, and preventing the maturation of sexual function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers prevent development of adult sexual function<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“An observation that I had,” said Bowers, “every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,” which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, “has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.<\/em><\/strong>” [my emphasis]<\/p>Marci Bowers, a trans-identified male, and top “gender reassignment” surgeon<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>But that’s not happening in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

This is the criteria for diagnosing children from the DSM 5<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe DSM-5-TR defines gender dysphoria in children as a marked incongruence between one\u2019s experienced\/expressed gender and assigned gender, lasting at least 6 months, as manifested by at least six of the following<\/strong> (one of which must be the first criterion):<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe DSM-5-TR defines gender dysphoria in children as a marked incongruence between one\u2019s experienced\/expressed gender and assigned gender, lasting at least 6 months, as manifested by at least six of the following (one of which must be the first criterion):<\/p>\n\n\n\nA strong desire to be of the other gender or an insistence that one is the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one\u2019s assigned gender)<\/em><\/li>In boys (assigned gender), a strong preference for cross-dressing or simulating female attire; or in girls (assigned gender), a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine clothing<\/strong> and a strong resistance to the wearing of typical feminine clothing<\/em><\/li>A strong preference for cross-gender roles in make-believe play<\/strong> or fantasy play<\/em><\/li>A strong preference for the toys, games or activities stereotypically used or engaged in by the other gender<\/strong><\/em><\/li>A strong preference for playmates of the other gender<\/strong><\/em><\/li>In boys (assigned gender), a strong rejection of typically masculine toys, games, and activities and a strong avoidance of rough-and-tumble play<\/strong>; or in girls (assigned gender), a strong rejection of typically feminine toys, games, and activities<\/em><\/li>A strong dislike of one\u2019s sexual anatomy<\/em><\/li>A strong desire for the physical sex characteristics that match one\u2019s experienced gender<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe diagnostic criteria relies on stereotypes and deviation from what is ‘typical’ for young boys and girls. If we lived in a world where children simply wore practical clothes, and play games according to their interest, the diagnosis would fall away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Note how it says “typically masculine<\/strong><\/em>” and “typically <\/strong>feminine<\/em>” – what does that mean?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nChildren do not have an innate sense that “blue equals boy”.

Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

If we lived in a world where children simply wore practical clothes, and play games according to their interest, the diagnosis would fall away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Note how it says “typically masculine<\/strong><\/em>” and “typically <\/strong>feminine<\/em>” – what does that mean?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nChildren do not have an innate sense that “blue equals boy”. Did you know that 100 years ago pink was a boy’s colour. https:\/\/gimletmedia.com\/shows\/every-little-thing\/wbhabn”>Every Little Thing podcast even did an episode about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“Typically masculine<\/em>” means adhering to stereotypes<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_historical_sources_for_pink_and_blue_as_gender_signifiers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>What do the expert advocates say?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMermaids UK<\/a><\/em> is a charity that “has been supporting transgender, nonbinary and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families since 1995<\/a>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn training sessions they explain, to police and toddlers alike, that gender is a spectrum from Barbie to GI Joe. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMermaids deal in stereotypes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom a Mermaids training – a highly influential UK charity for trans kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/span>Sterilised and surgically mutilated<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen Australian campaigner Katherine Deves tweeted about \u201cvulnerable children surgically mutilated and sterilised<\/strong>\u201d she was lambasted in the press. <\/p>\n\n\n\nChildren diagnosed with gender dysphoria are put on a treatment pathway: social transition, puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, followed by a selection of surgeries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers cause sterility. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dylan Wilson is a Queensland paediatrician. He describes puberty blockade<\/a> as freezing the child’s body in time, preventing formation of sperm or eggs, and preventing the maturation of sexual function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers prevent development of adult sexual function<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“An observation that I had,” said Bowers, “every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,” which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, “has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.<\/em><\/strong>” [my emphasis]<\/p>Marci Bowers, a trans-identified male, and top “gender reassignment” surgeon<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>But that’s not happening in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

The DSM-5-TR defines gender dysphoria in children as a marked incongruence between one\u2019s experienced\/expressed gender and assigned gender, lasting at least 6 months, as manifested by at least six of the following (one of which must be the first criterion):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The diagnostic criteria relies on stereotypes and deviation from what is ‘typical’ for young boys and girls. If we lived in a world where children simply wore practical clothes, and play games according to their interest, the diagnosis would fall away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children do not have an innate sense that “blue equals boy”. Did you know that 100 years ago pink was a boy’s colour. https:\/\/gimletmedia.com\/shows\/every-little-thing\/wbhabn”>Every Little Thing podcast even did an episode about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“Typically masculine<\/em>” means adhering to stereotypes<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_historical_sources_for_pink_and_blue_as_gender_signifiers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>What do the expert advocates say?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMermaids UK<\/a><\/em> is a charity that “has been supporting transgender, nonbinary and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families since 1995<\/a>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn training sessions they explain, to police and toddlers alike, that gender is a spectrum from Barbie to GI Joe. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMermaids deal in stereotypes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom a Mermaids training – a highly influential UK charity for trans kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/span>Sterilised and surgically mutilated<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen Australian campaigner Katherine Deves tweeted about \u201cvulnerable children surgically mutilated and sterilised<\/strong>\u201d she was lambasted in the press. <\/p>\n\n\n\nChildren diagnosed with gender dysphoria are put on a treatment pathway: social transition, puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, followed by a selection of surgeries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers cause sterility. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dylan Wilson is a Queensland paediatrician. He describes puberty blockade<\/a> as freezing the child’s body in time, preventing formation of sperm or eggs, and preventing the maturation of sexual function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers prevent development of adult sexual function<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“An observation that I had,” said Bowers, “every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,” which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, “has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.<\/em><\/strong>” [my emphasis]<\/p>Marci Bowers, a trans-identified male, and top “gender reassignment” surgeon<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>But that’s not happening in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

“Typically masculine<\/em>” means adhering to stereotypes<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_historical_sources_for_pink_and_blue_as_gender_signifiers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>What do the expert advocates say?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMermaids UK<\/a><\/em> is a charity that “has been supporting transgender, nonbinary and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families since 1995<\/a>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn training sessions they explain, to police and toddlers alike, that gender is a spectrum from Barbie to GI Joe. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMermaids deal in stereotypes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom a Mermaids training – a highly influential UK charity for trans kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/span>Sterilised and surgically mutilated<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen Australian campaigner Katherine Deves tweeted about \u201cvulnerable children surgically mutilated and sterilised<\/strong>\u201d she was lambasted in the press. <\/p>\n\n\n\nChildren diagnosed with gender dysphoria are put on a treatment pathway: social transition, puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, followed by a selection of surgeries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers cause sterility. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dylan Wilson is a Queensland paediatrician. He describes puberty blockade<\/a> as freezing the child’s body in time, preventing formation of sperm or eggs, and preventing the maturation of sexual function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers prevent development of adult sexual function<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“An observation that I had,” said Bowers, “every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,” which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, “has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.<\/em><\/strong>” [my emphasis]<\/p>Marci Bowers, a trans-identified male, and top “gender reassignment” surgeon<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>But that’s not happening in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

He describes puberty blockade<\/a> as freezing the child’s body in time, preventing formation of sperm or eggs, and preventing the maturation of sexual function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers prevent development of adult sexual function<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“An observation that I had,” said Bowers, “every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,” which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, “has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.<\/em><\/strong>” [my emphasis]<\/p>Marci Bowers, a trans-identified male, and top “gender reassignment” surgeon<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>But that’s not happening in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

Mermaids UK<\/a><\/em> is a charity that “has been supporting transgender, nonbinary and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families since 1995<\/a>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn training sessions they explain, to police and toddlers alike, that gender is a spectrum from Barbie to GI Joe. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMermaids deal in stereotypes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom a Mermaids training – a highly influential UK charity for trans kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/span>Sterilised and surgically mutilated<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen Australian campaigner Katherine Deves tweeted about \u201cvulnerable children surgically mutilated and sterilised<\/strong>\u201d she was lambasted in the press. <\/p>\n\n\n\nChildren diagnosed with gender dysphoria are put on a treatment pathway: social transition, puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, followed by a selection of surgeries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers cause sterility. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dylan Wilson is a Queensland paediatrician. He describes puberty blockade<\/a> as freezing the child’s body in time, preventing formation of sperm or eggs, and preventing the maturation of sexual function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers prevent development of adult sexual function<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“An observation that I had,” said Bowers, “every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,” which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, “has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.<\/em><\/strong>” [my emphasis]<\/p>Marci Bowers, a trans-identified male, and top “gender reassignment” surgeon<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>But that’s not happening in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

In training sessions they explain, to police and toddlers alike, that gender is a spectrum from Barbie to GI Joe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mermaids deal in stereotypes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom a Mermaids training – a highly influential UK charity for trans kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/span>Sterilised and surgically mutilated<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen Australian campaigner Katherine Deves tweeted about \u201cvulnerable children surgically mutilated and sterilised<\/strong>\u201d she was lambasted in the press. <\/p>\n\n\n\nChildren diagnosed with gender dysphoria are put on a treatment pathway: social transition, puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, followed by a selection of surgeries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers cause sterility. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dylan Wilson is a Queensland paediatrician. He describes puberty blockade<\/a> as freezing the child’s body in time, preventing formation of sperm or eggs, and preventing the maturation of sexual function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers prevent development of adult sexual function<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“An observation that I had,” said Bowers, “every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,” which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, “has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.<\/em><\/strong>” [my emphasis]<\/p>Marci Bowers, a trans-identified male, and top “gender reassignment” surgeon<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>But that’s not happening in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

When Australian campaigner Katherine Deves tweeted about \u201cvulnerable children surgically mutilated and sterilised<\/strong>\u201d she was lambasted in the press. <\/p>\n\n\n\nChildren diagnosed with gender dysphoria are put on a treatment pathway: social transition, puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, followed by a selection of surgeries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers cause sterility. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dylan Wilson is a Queensland paediatrician. He describes puberty blockade<\/a> as freezing the child’s body in time, preventing formation of sperm or eggs, and preventing the maturation of sexual function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers prevent development of adult sexual function<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“An observation that I had,” said Bowers, “every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,” which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, “has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.<\/em><\/strong>” [my emphasis]<\/p>Marci Bowers, a trans-identified male, and top “gender reassignment” surgeon<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>But that’s not happening in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

Children diagnosed with gender dysphoria are put on a treatment pathway: social transition, puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, followed by a selection of surgeries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Dylan Wilson is a Queensland paediatrician. He describes puberty blockade<\/a> as freezing the child’s body in time, preventing formation of sperm or eggs, and preventing the maturation of sexual function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Puberty blockers prevent development of adult sexual function<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“An observation that I had,” said Bowers, “every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,” which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, “has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.<\/em><\/strong>” [my emphasis]<\/p>Marci Bowers, a trans-identified male, and top “gender reassignment” surgeon<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>But that’s not happening in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

“An observation that I had,” said Bowers, “every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,” which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, “has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero.<\/em><\/strong>” [my emphasis]<\/p>Marci Bowers, a trans-identified male, and top “gender reassignment” surgeon<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>But that’s not happening in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?

There are gender clinics all around Australia. Many are located in large hospitals. The most prominent clinic is at the Royal Children’s Hospital<\/a> (VIC), headed by Michelle Telfer. They are closely allied with activist groups including Transcend<\/a>, Parents of Gender Diverse Children<\/a> and ACON. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis slide, from Maple Leaf House in Newcastle, demonstrates the clinic’s strong link with activist organisations. While AUSPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health) and international equivalent WPATH seem like medical bodies, they are membership-based lobby groups whose mission is to promote ‘gender affirming’ care. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Yes, sterilising children here in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Children’s Hospital treatment pathway shows 8 year olds being referred for “fertility counselling” and possible procedures to “preserve” fertility. This means extracting sperm or ova to preserve outside the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember, this is because they had “a strong preference for wearing only typical masculine (or feminine) clothing<\/strong><\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoyal Children’s Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>There’s no evidence sterilisation helps children<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is a constant claim that children will suicide if they are not given puberty suppression or cross-sex hormones. This claim is used to justify the practice of experimental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a child <16 years clinicians must also consider if the intervention is a \u2018special medical treatment\u2019: a intended or reasonably likely to render the child permanently infertile, unless the treatment is administered to treat a life threatening condition\u2019.<\/p>Source: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a> (archive link: https:\/\/archive.ph\/2LsHc)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nSource: Maple Leaf House Gender Clinic, Newcastle<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Australian gender clinics – still not convinced?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/genderclinicnews.substack.com\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why Don’t We Know What’s Happening in Australia?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDr Dianna Kenny talks to Stassja and Ange about the data on children’s clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_everyone_ask_what_sex_the_baby_is_Are_you_all_obsessed_with_genitals\"><\/span>Why does everyone ask what sex the baby is?
