UK to test mental state of transgender kids

RT: The British National Health Service (NHS) will conduct autism screenings for all children who identify as transgender, The Telegraph has reported.

Under new NHS guidance seen by the outlet, every child referred to a gender clinic will be screened for conditions – including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism, learning disabilities, and mental health issues – that may be contributing to their distress.

“Given the high prevalence of neurodiversity identified within this population, all those attending the NHS Children and Young People’s Gender Service should receive screening for neurodevelopmental conditions,” according to the new specification cited by the newspaper.

A multidisciplinary team of doctors and psychologists will reportedly evaluate eight key aspects of a child’s life, including their sexual orientation, family relationships, and complete medical history. more

  1. It has been suspected that many people who have gender dysphoria may be on the autism spectrum. I would think that the pro-mutilation crowd doesn’t want this testing to happen. If it’s found that these kids aren’t completely in their right minds (which is true), the mutilators will (and should) be seen as more evil than they currently are.

  2. Being the UK, I question the reason for this. On the surface, it seems like a very good idea as it could open up the discussion of mental illness that we have been screaming about since this started.

    But knowing the evil behind the trans movement, they might use it to say, “See, everyone who is trans suffers from _______. Therefore, everyone who suffers from _______ must go through trans services whether they think they are in the wrong body or not.”

    Sigh. I’ll try to keep hopeful (and pray!) that they will accidentally ignite a world-wide push toward actually TREATING mental illness instead of using it as an excuse!
