Dangers of teaching kids they can be boys or girls

Nurses General Nursing

Published

One girl is struggling with her gender, and now 3 girls who are all friends of the first girl, think they are trans and have asked the doctor for hormones.

Two of these girls have issues eg self harm (cutting) and playing with eating disorders.

It appears some young teenagers are substituting typical self-harm strategies with a new way to self harm, and this is to try and change gender.

The UK has gone from 50 gender dysphoria cases a year to over 2000. This is a lie. This has come about because children are being told they can be the opposite gender, and that gender is a social construct.

This is a danger to children, and I'm dealing with it at work.

Can anyone else see the harm this ******** is causing?

I'm not talking about those born with physical abnormalities or chromosomal abnormalities.

But when you tell little kids they can be a boy or a girl, you're messing with them.

And now we have 3 girls who all suddenly think they want to be boys. They are not trans. They are being told a lie. They do not need to experiment with this.

Gender is not a spectrum - it is a theory only and a pretty **** one at that.

Boys and girls are different both physically and mentally, yet some messed up professors of humanities are even teaching there is no biological difference - it's insanity, and if you can't see this, then there's no hope for society.

Do you know what happens when boys and girls are given a level playing field to grow and be what they want to be? It turns out girls end up doing traditional girl things/roles, and boys end up doing traditionally boy things/roles.

Children and society are being indoctrinated into something that is truly harmful, all in the name of tolerance.

The basic information needed to impart to the OP would costs thousands of dollars if it came from a university.

I don't get paid enough.

But what I will say is that a friend of mine has a trans teenage daughter who just this week had multiple vile things said about her. Lucky for her, she's got supportive parents who are about go to beastmode on a school and some parents who tolerate this crap.

My own kid cut for about a year before he came out to us. He's only cut once since then (2 years ago).

The bigotry my friend's child faces on an almost-daily basis, combined with the nonsense written in the OP is why I'm committed to caring for queer teens and being a safe space for them as a FNP. And it's the reason why, if you're going to mess with queer teens in my presence, you will have to do it over my cold dead body.

no problem, but you're thinking with your emotions, not logic. I can get just as emotional seeing the harm being done to little children, in the name of tolerance.

I will NOT feed the troll...I will NOT feed the troll...

But as someone who has seen many trans kids in my psych hospital for suicide attempts, you want to know the best way to stop these kids from trying to kill themselves? SUPPORT THEM.

I have to duck out now, because anything else I say is going to violate TOS.

my sources - the Scandinavian countries. It's shocked the feminists, in fact they are a bit pissed off at this. But those countries provided the most level playing field for men and women, and guess what, it turns out when you level the playing field, men end up doing traditionally mens jobs/roles, and women end up doing traditionally womens' jobs.

Look it up, it's not hard. It's been in the news quite a bit.

Is the harm being done by the child's questioning of gender, or by the adults' unhinged responses?

Are we talking about adolescents or pre-pubescent kids?

You made the claims ... it's up to you to back them up, I think. Unless, of course, you can't.

Yes. I can. On a personal note:

My daughter was attacked years ago and we were kept in the dark. But, after it occurred, that same year, she suddenly was convinced she was gay and had friends that told her so.

She too began to cut herself. She sent herself, on purpose, into DKA multiple times. It was her "coping" mechanism. You can imagine, as her mother, and a nurse, I was stunned and felt helpless, even though intellectually I knew what needed to be done, I still felt as though in shock that this precious child of mine had gone through this hideous trauma and kept it from us, and still managed to go to school, socialize and keep it in the dark.

Her doctors asked her if she had ever been sexually assaulted. Of course she denied it.

Through years care and 3 months hospitalization in an out of state treatment facility that specializes in adolescent issues, and lots of prayer, she came through it.

I have always had a special burden on my heart for our young people. I believe it's more than a culture issue. This is spiritual warfare......

It's best not to feed it.
