NPR Runs with Shallow Research on Transgender Children for Hit Piece on Texas Gov. Abbott

The theme among transing the kids advocates is that if children with gender hang-ups aren’t provided puberty blockers and “gender affirming hormones” they’ll kill themselves.

NPR’s “Science Friday” program is fully on board with the agenda, doing a feature yesterday on Texas’s recent determination that transing the youths is a form of child abuse. The piece tries to make the case that providing children with puberty blockers and gender affirming hormones prevents suicide based on a study by a Ph.D. student. Here

A closer examination of the “study” reveals that the “researcher” only covered one year in the life of her subjects. Here

A more longitudinal study (1972-20017) out of progressive Holland, found the suicide risk among the transgender were higher than the general population and suicide occurred through all stages of transitioning. Here

I was unable to find a study comparing suicide rates among those who receive psychological therapy vs. those who are transitioned, but I’d sure like to know.

  1. Al called Bob dole “the most liberal man in Congress for almost 50 yeras” in the VP debates(96) He was right. My first indication was in ’62 when he backed jfk’s 200% SS tax increase; from $45 max in ’61 to a top of $150 4 years after law passed. The tax was passed in ’64 or ’65,”in honor of the late…”.

    WERE IT NOT FOR BOB NPR WOULD BE HISTORY. Ronny tried to stop taxpayer funding EVERY YEAR FOR 8 YERS. Bob led the libs in voting agains Ronny. NPR. would die without our taxes!
    I did not vote for the liberal Bob; I m biased.

    NPR WAS THE PROPAGNDa TOOL OF THE UNIPARTY 50 yeras ago; and it is UNIPARTY propaganda today.

  2. When I was a boy, there was not time I ever heard of where another young one was confused about their gender. NEVER once. Boys used the mens’ and girls used the ladies’. Boys played men’s sports and girls played womens’ and NO ONE gave that a second thought. Where are the parents of these young gals on swim teams now getting dominated by men?

    If my daughter told me there was a guy on their swim team walking around in their locker room naked and smirking about it, I’d catch that motherfucker and knock his dick in the dirt. He’d be out for the season, guaranteed.

    I swear my uncles & father are spinning in their graves.

    And in few short years we’ve gone from centuries of sanity to children wondering if they’re really a boy or girl. And people that would know better give that bullshit credence.

    I sure haven’t been seeing any of this horse shit coming out of China. Or Russia.

    The teacher’s unions are the #1 problem in this country.

  3. How insane is this “transgender” crap? Just another gimmick for the anti-Americans to confuse and kill America.

    Nothing in science backs these fools. It’s just another gimmick, folks, to lead you over the cliff, so that they can continue pursuing their lust for money and power. They will drain You dry if you keep believing them.
