So children's hospital has pride parades in the hospital. What gay pride parades are doing in a hospital for children I will never know. Most of them haven't even hit puberty yet and in a lot of cases many many years from that.


But of course here is the MAN that has donated massive amounts of money to the hospital so it can have a gender clinic. A gender clinic in a hospital treating sick children?



But also not forget other children's hospitals have programs on how to teach your children on how to tuck their penis to not look so much like a boy



But then again this is the same group that marches in broad daylight chanting they are coming for our children.


How this is acceptable from a children's hospital is beyond me

Someone could put a gun to my head and demand I become attracted to the same sex, and I absolutely could not "become" attracted to the same sex to save my own life. Attending or watching a pride parade could obviously not make me attracted to the same sex.

Someone who can "become" attracted to the same sex from external input (pride parade etc) is already either homosexual or bisexual IMO.

Same. There is no temptation as I'm simply not attracted to men. Pride parades wouldn't change that.

With that being said, the first article is talking about sex changes for children:
"Garofalo said his patients range in age from 4 to 22."

They're doing this to 4 year olds.

22 is reasonable, as an adult should be mature enough to make such decisions, but young children are at the mercy of their parents and teachers. This is child abuse any way you cut it. (no pun intended)

If a 4 year old boy's genitals are mutilated to turn him into a trans girl, that 4 year old will probably mature into a trans woman who is attracted to women. As the odds are high that he would otherwise have been a heterosexual man. Most people are straight and 4 years old is too young to determine whether someone will be gay. In that sense, it might make him gay by appearances but not by making him attracted to men.

I generally avoid these topics as it's none of my business what other adults do with their bodies, but as this pertains to young children it has "future lawsuits" written all over it.

Doing what, exactly?
We don’t know.

My guess would be that four years ago a baby with “ambiguous genitalia“ was born and the parents were allowed to wait until the child’s personality developed before proceeding with treatments/surgery.

I enjoy alarmist threads as well as the next guy/gal, but this isn’t one of them.

Doing what exactly as the article does not state what services are offered. It just states there are patients as young as 4, but it does not state what services are being provided. I do not care to assume what services are offered on what tiny amount is said in the article.

True. We don't know exactly. The thought crossed my mind, but there is already an established precedent for dealing with ambiguous genitalia. As far as I'm aware, special gender identity clinics aren't required for that. It seems odd to me that they wouldn't make that distinction in the article, but perhaps the author left it out intentionally.

There are those who encourage minors to transition despite the fact that we don't know what the long term effects on children might be. We don't have enough data yet. Also, far less consequential decisions made by guardians can mess kids up. That's the angle I'm coming at this from. Unfortunately, humanity has a history of performing medical procedures that are later deemed barbaric. Lobotomies, for instance, were once considered an appropriate therapy for mental illness, racial minorities were sterilized in the name of eugenics etc. Things that seemed like a good idea at the time to the people in charge.

The article doesn’t state what treatments are provided at any age. For whatever reason a four year old is seen at the clinic, I feel certain that it is not for genital reassignment surgery.

As far as the child being gay or not, well that is separate from their gender identity issues. you are right that their attraction to male or female doesn’t change, so after transition they can end up living as a gay person, but in truth that is what they felt they were before transition. A male transitioning to a female who was always attracted to females felt they were in fact a female but in a male’s body.

As a member of the LGBT, I can confirm this story isn't true because we've already reached our recruitment quota for this quarter.

Sometimes children have families. Some families have gay members.

Probably the bright rainbow colors are considered festive and child- friendly. Hospitals can be dismal places.

The bright colors would make sense. I don’t think it automatically means they’re going on about lgbt et al.

Some people just like the rainbow.
