Our New Toolkit is a Game Changer

Most parents oppose “gender-affirming care” for children, but many are confused between allegiance to political establishment and ideology, professional organizations, and even their children’s own health practitioners.

More than 300,000 children in the US aged 13-17 identify as “transgender,” according to a UCLA Williams Institute report.

From 2017 to 2021, 4,780 children diagnosed with gender dysphoria were prescribed puberty blockers and 14,726 were prescribed sexualizing hormones.

A 2023 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that 3,678 children aged 12-18 had received surgical transition - mostly breast or chest surgery - from 2016 to 2020, but 405 children in this cohort had genital surgery.

The United States Department of Health and Human Services and pediatric medical organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, and the World Psychiatric Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) all support “gender-affirming care” for children and adolescents.

These organizations influence legislators and educators to adopt “shield” laws and policies for promoting “gender-affirming care.”

Many schools across the nation participate in socially transitioning children and some do so without the parents’ knowledge.

In states where there are shield laws, there are stories of children being removed from loving homes because of parents who refused to provide “gender-affirming care.”

These policies persist despite the growing body of evidence, some from their own organizations, demonstrating that medical treatments for “gender-affirming care” do not benefit mental health or alleviate symptoms of gender dysphoria in children.

There are at least six large systematic reviews published in peer-reviewed journals on this subject that tell us:

• Children with gender dysphoria have the same rate of suicide as children with other serious mental health disorders, and the rate of death by suicide at the world's largest gender clinic was 0.03% in 10 years.

• Puberty blockers and sex hormones do NOT reverse the symptoms of gender dysphoria, and they do NOT prevent suicide.

• Without social and medical transition, 78% of children and adolescents diagnosed with gender dysphoria will proceed through normal development and will NOT be transgender adults.

This information tells us that the science is NOT settled, and once again, parents, educators and health professionals find themselves at odds with the “experts” and compelled to advocate for children to grow in healthy bodies and reach their fullest developmental potential.

We see this as a dire crisis, and our response is this new toolkit to help you navigate and decode the scientific evidence on gender medicine.

We encourage you to have this important conversation with your local educators, community members, and policymakers.

We don’t want to see another child harmed by dangerous school policies and local laws.

We MUST be able to talk about it so we can protect our children.
