Here’s the story of a mother of a confused adolescent who fell into the clutches of the Washington University, Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital and had to fight an uphill battle to save her son from the ravages that puberty blockers were causing to her son’s mind and body.
She was bullied into agreeing to the puberty blockers when the Center’s psychologist warned her that suicide was a common outcome for transgender children refused therapy. This was a lie. The actual statistic is 3 out of a thousand transgender children commit suicide. So she gave her permission for the blockers.
After her son’s mental health deteriorated to the point where he was failing in school and he had begun to think about suicide his mother decided she’d had enough of the treatment”
“On June 9, Caroline had had enough. She decided it was time to get the blocker in her son’s arm removed. She sent this pointed and angry email to the clinic:
“Please be advised that I’m revoking my consent for this course of medical treatment. Grades have dropped, there’s been an in-patient behavioral health visit and now he’s on 5 different medications. Lexipro [sic], Trazadone [sic], Buspar, etc. [Casey] is a shell of his former self riddled with anxiety. Who knows if it’s because the hormone blockers or the other medications. I revoke my consent. I want the hormone blocker removed. Thank you.””
But the clinic ignored her demand because the boy’s father hadn’t revoked his approval. The center knew better than his custodial parent and refused to end the treatment.
“Caroline hopes that her family can find the right help to undo the effects and side effects of the center’s treatment. She says, “My son needs the antidote to this whole therapy. I feel like he needs a licensed therapist, an endocrinologist, people who can see him through the recovery from this. It’s going to be physical and mental. And then we need family counseling, because this whole thing has torn us apart.””
All of this is disgusting and the opposite of medicine. “Do no harm” is supposed to be the doctor’s creed. Instead it’s let’s torture kids and create monsters.
