The New York Times recently reported that “About 3.3 percent of high school students identify as transgender and another 2.2 percent are questioning their gender identity, according to the first nationally representative survey on these groups, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday.”
According to Stats For Gender, “There has been a roughly twenty-fold rise in the number of people seeking transition, with teenagers hugely over-represented.”
What is going on, and why are so many people afraid to speak up and ask questions about this exponential increase in the incidence of gender dysphoria?
Why would schools like Newton North High School, for example, keep secrets from parents?
Schools claim they are trying to create inclusive and welcoming environments, but are they encouraging social contagion by promoting the belief that children can be born in the wrong body? Under the current gender-affirming care model, children are being fast-tracked to medicalization. There is no other medical standard of care where this affirmation model occurs. It inflicts dangerous and irreversible harm to children who are not equipped to make life-long decisions about medical transition.
As chronicled by Do No Harm, the resulting gender industry has become a big business. In the United States between 2019 and 2023:
13,994 minors underwent sex change treatments
5,747 minors had sex change surgeries
8,579 minors received hormones and puberty blockers
62,682 sex change prescriptions were written for minors
Total Submitted Charges $119,791,202
To further understand this, Do No Harm has created the Stop The Harm Database, which profiles children’s hospitals in states still allowing sex change treatments on minors, examining their advertised services to determine which medical interventions they provide. Through this tool, Do No Harm is informing the public and shedding light on how prevalent these practices really are.
