The movement to brainwash children and then sterilize and mutilate their bodies achieved mainstream acceptance with horrific speed. At times, it seemed like this evil cult had opened Pandora's box and there was nothing that could be done to close it. But maybe the tide is shifting against it after all.
It's already been established that 90% of young people who identify as transgender but don’t transition will no longer identify as transgender once they reach adulthood. This is proof that the rush to declare them trans and start them down the irreversible path of puberty blockers and genital mutilation is morally wrong.
Across Europe, there is a growing acknowledgment of the harm associated with transitioning children, leading to a reduction in medical interventions for young people struggling with gender confusion. Notably, in July 2022, London's Tavistock Clinic, the sole transgender clinic in England, closed down over concerns surgeries were being conducted without adequate consideration for children's mental health.
Soon after, the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom banned the use of puberty blockers in most cases, and stopped recommending social transitioning for children. This move echoes a broader shift, as Finland, France, and even Sweden have also abandoned recommending gender transitioning for children. Instead, they chose to emphasize the prioritization of psychosocial support over administering potentially harmful drugs or engaging in body-altering procedures. The Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board followed suit last year.
Such positive developments continue. Last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) finally admitted that there is no scientific evidence to support children being subjected to so-called "gender-affirming care."

It's true that the woke World Health Organization generally has gotten behind transgender ideology. In fact, the organization is actively developing guidelines addressing the "health of trans and gender diverse people," but a document released by the WHO last month shows that they are not including children in those guidelines.
“The scope [of the guidance] will cover adults only and not address the needs of children and adolescents because, on review, the evidence base for children and adolescents is limited and variable regarding the longer-term outcomes of gender-affirming care for children and adolescents," the document reads.
While the world around us is figuring out how insane it is to butcher children, the United States has not—well, sort of. The Biden administration has gone all in endorsing transing children, as have Democrats in Congress and radical leftist judges, but they don't represent mainstream America. Polling shows that a majority of Americans are in favor of prohibiting gender transition procedures for minors, and Republican governors and state legislatures are leading the way in protecting children from this dangerous cult.
Still, if a woke organization like the World Health Organization can admit the lack of evidence showing that butchering children with gender confusion is medically necessary, perhaps in time the American left will realize it, too.
