Articles Scrutinizing The Affirmative Model For Gender Dysphoric Children & Teens
The affirmative model for treating gender dysphoric children & teens promotes social transition of children, puberty blockers at the start of puberty, and breast amputation and genital surgeries under 18 for both trans and nonbinary identities.
Previous studies indicate most children used to grow out of gender dysphoria if allowed a normal puberty.
Affirmative model advocates are misleading the public to believe rigorous evidence supports the benefits of reinforcing a child’s disassociation from their bodies and underage medical procedures that can weaken bone health, sterilize, destroy sexual function, and may have cognitive impacts.
