While Other Countries Hit The Brakes On Transitioning Children, America Is Hitting The Gas

Michael Brown

According to a March 14, 2022, article in World magazine by Mary Jackson, “in recent months, medical groups and establishments in multiple countries have called for putting the brakes on hormone and surgical interventions for youth.”

This includes Sweden, where on February 22, the Board of Health and Welfare declared that “‘uncertain science and new knowledge’ had prompted it to recommend restraint in using hormone treatments except in ‘exceptional cases.’ It advised psychological and psychiatric support as the first line of treatment. The board said it could not explain a 1,500 percent increase in gender dysphoria diagnoses among 13- to 17-year-old girls between 2008 and 2018.”
