As transgender ideology continues to spread across the country, children continue to fall prey to the deception. Believing the lies of the contagion and thinking they have been born into the wrong body, many eventually mutilate themselves.
Whether a child participates in one or all of the physically damaging steps, he or she will be left with irreversible consequences. Every person should know what these steps entail—and make sure those being indoctrinated also know before they destroy their bodies.
There are four steps and, like with the snowball effect, each leads to another: binding and tucking, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex reassignment surgery.
When children begin to explore the idea of being transgender, many influencers across platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit suggest they begin the “experience” by binding their breasts or tucking their genitals. However, the influencers rarely speak of the resulting side effects. “A large survey involving 1800 participants showed multiple adverse effects from binding. . . . Fully 97% experienced one or more side effects. These included pain, shortness of breath, digestive issues, and neurological issues.”
Abigail Shrier says in her book Irreversible Damage that,
breasts—glandular tissue, fatty tissue, blood vessels, lymph vessels and lymph nodes, lobes, ducts, connective tissue, and ligaments—are not really meant to be squashed flat all day long. Fractured or bruised ribs, punctured or collapsed lungs, shortness of breath, back pain, and deformation of the breast tissue are side effects.
As Miriam Grossman writes in Lost in Trans Nation, plastic surgeons from Belgium “noted decreased skin elasticity, resulting in ptosis, or sagging of breasts, typically seen in older women.” According to one study of nearly 1,300 girls, “89 percent [approximately 1,157] experienced at least one negative effect.”
Tucking for males—which Grossman describes as “[pushing] his testicles into his inguinal canals, then [taping] his penis and scrotum together behind his legs”—is just as harmful.
[G]iven the testicles’ temperature requirements, tucking them against (or even inside) the body for long periods could certainly be expected to be harmful to their health and function.
Studies have also revealed that tucking can lead to “infertility and testicular torsion” and that tucking has also resulted in “multiple adverse effects including itching, rash, testicular pain, penile pain, and skin infections.”
Influencers encourage children to “experience” being transgender by first binding or tucking, yet this “experience” leads to so many physically harmful effects. The influencers withhold this information from children, which results in a child being permanently damaged.
Another way in which the contagion is physically destructive to children is by stopping puberty, which is accomplished by puberty blockers. Grossman reveals that from studies on children who use blockers to in order stop early puberty,
[s]ide effects include mood changes, headaches, nervousness, anxiety, agitation, confusion, delusions, insomnia, depression, mood swings, suicidal ideation, early menopause, lung disease, sexual dysfunction, inability to experience orgasms, and genital atrophy. . . . Puberty blockers can cause osteoporosis, the loss of bone density.
Sperm and eggs require a surge of testosterone and estrogen during puberty, to fully mature. However, since puberty blockers prevent the maturity of sperm and eggs, reproduction later in life would be impossible.
The next step after puberty blockers is cross-sex hormones. Others who have already undergone natural puberty also take these to “change their sex.” The outcome of shooting cross-sex hormones into one’s body is devastating.
When taking doses of testosterone, girls will soon face long-term consequences. Grossman shows that in time,
[t]hey face hair loss, elimination of menstruation, deepening of the voice, severe acne, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and increased risk of type 2 diabetes, erythrocytosis (which includes symptoms of blurred vision, headaches, confusion, high blood pressure, nosebleeds, itching, weakness, and tiredness), cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, pelvic pain, and uterine cancer.
Additionally, Grossman says, women on testosterone are “almost four times more likely to have a heart attack,” and “clots in the veins . . . are five times more likely to happen.” This evidence clearly shows that the negatives far outweigh the “benefits.”
While there may be fewer known consequences for boys, there are still many that need to be shared with any male considering cross-sex hormones. A male pumping himself with estrogen can lead to
decreased muscle mass and strength, decreased sexual desire, decreased sperm production, voice changes, decreased testicular volume, erectile dysfunction, infertility, deep vein blood clots, stroke, coronary artery disease, and cerebrovascular disease.
Additionally, they are “forty-six times more likely to get breast cancer, twice as likely to have a stroke, [and] sixteen times as likely to have deep vein clots.” Once again, the negative effects for boys on estrogen far outweigh the “benefits.”
In most cases, gender reassignment surgery follows cross-sex hormones. This surgery also does not achieve a person’s desire to change sex; rather, these victims are left physically mutilated. There are two types of surgeries: top surgeries and bottom surgeries.
For girls, a top surgery is a mastectomy or a double mastectomy. The bottom surgery is a vaginectomy, in which the destruction of the vagina is followed by a faux, useless penis made from the girl’s forearm skin, leaving a massive visible scar. Grossman reports on a 2022 review of eleven studies on this process, called phalloplasty, which “found that nearly a third [of the girls] developed a serious complication, namely stricture or fistula.” These surgeons are removing girls’ healthy breasts and their ability to conceive children.
For boys, a bottom surgery involves testicle removal. The surgeon will also flay and invert his penis to make a “vaginal vault.” The body recognizes this “vagina” as an open wound and tries to close it. This requires the boy to dilate the hole daily so it remains open. Over half of the patients at one post-vaginoplasty clinic reported pain, “over a third had sexual function concerns, and 42 percent were experiencing ‘vaginal’ bleeding.”
Suppose doctors warned children of the ramifications that come with “gender reassignment” surgery. Perhaps then, there would not be living and breathing Frankensteins walking around.
This is just the physical side of the destruction the transgender contagion is wreaking. It has additionally led to mental and relational devastation. More in-depth information can be read here.
