If you go digging through information about transgenderism, you'll notice there's an unbelievable amount of information that paints it as a healthy and logical way for people to deal with gender dysphoria. You won't find a great deal of info saying otherwise, which could easily lead to one thinking that perhaps people who are fighting against the trans agenda are mistaken.
The thing is, the reason there's not a lot of info pointing out how dangerous transgenderism is, and how often people are prone to regret their decision to mutilate their bodies, is because for years that information was kept secret, or research wasn't allowed to be conducted at all.
I know this, because I've been raising the alarm about it for years, and I have receipts.
You've probably seen the article from the New York Times, which states that a study about puberty blockers had gone unpublished for years because it was dangerous to do so politically. The famed author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, summed this article up very well in a post on X.
"'We must not publish a study that says we're harming children because people who say we're harming children will use the study as evidence that we're harming children, which might make it difficult for us to continue harming children,'" posted Rowling.

I can't think of a better summary than this. They know that what they're doing is harmful and irreversible, yet they hid this information in order to be able to continue their work, which was clearly not beneficial to anyone. Why continue doing it? The same reason many modern evils are committed. Ideological agendas and money.
But this is hardly the only time this has happened. Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we?
In January, I told the story of Finnish Dr. Riittakerttu Kaltiala, who was one of the pioneers of what we now know as "gender-affirming care." Kaltiala is an adolescent psychologist who was tasked by the Finnish government to create a pediatric gender program once transgenderism became a mainstream global affair.
According to her, her clinic met with over 500 patients for evaluation, and half were approved for transition procedures. However, Kaltiala noticed very early on that there were some issues with those coming in; most suffered from psychological issues that had nothing to do with gender dysphoria:
We expected a small number of boys who had persistently declared they were girls. Instead, 90 percent of our patients were girls, mainly 15 to 17 years old, and instead of being high-functioning, the vast majority presented with severe psychiatric conditions.
Some came from families with multiple psychosocial problems. Most of them had challenging early childhoods marked by developmental difficulties, such as extreme temper tantrums and social isolation. Many had academic troubles. It was common for them to have been bullied—but generally not regarding their gender presentation. In adolescence they were lonely and withdrawn. Some were no longer in school, instead spending all their time alone in their room. They had depression and anxiety, some had eating disorders, many engaged in self-harm, a few had experienced psychotic episodes. Many—many—were on the autism spectrum.
Thinking that perhaps she had an anomaly in her patient pool, she reached out to other professionals to see if they were getting the same kind of patient pool, only to find they too were getting a similar kind of patient. It was mainly girls with psychiatric problems.
Then the transgender trend went into overdrive and Kalktiala noticed girls with absolutely nothing wrong coming in to become transgender, and soon realized this had gone from a case of psychologically damaged people to a full-on social contagion.
Soon, the "treatments" were beginning to show they weren't helping anyone at all. In fact, Kaltiala noted their lives were deteriorating more, withdrawing socially and refusing to make friends or go to school. In 2015, Kaltiala's clinic released a study showing that these procedures weren't helping people, but harming them severely. However, the medical community ignored her entirely.
In fact, many medical organizations were openly hostile to pushback against the treatments, including the American Academy of Pediatrics here in the United States, who rejected two proposed panels raising the alarm at the annual conference centered on adolescent psychiatry.

In 2018, I published an article discussing the story of psychotherapist James Caspian who noticed Doctor and Professor Miroslav Djordjevic, the world's leading expert on genital reconstructive surgery, was getting a huge uptick in people requesting detransition surgeries after they'd had reconstruction surgery to transition.
According to Djordjevic, those who wanted their genitals reconstructed had “crippling levels of depression following their transition and in some cases even contemplated suicide.” As such, Caspian decided to look into with some research. He went to Bath Spa University to get the funding and was initially approved, but quickly retracted it.
Why? They were afraid of the backlash that would come from such a study:
According to Caspian, the university initially approved his proposal to research “detransitioning”. He then amassed some preliminary findings that suggested a growing number of young people – particularly young women – were transitioning their gender and then regretting it.
But after submitting the more detailed proposal to Bath Spa, he discovered he had been referred to the university ethics committee, which rejected it over fears of criticism that might be directed towards the university. Not least on social media from the powerful transgender lobby.
Djordjevic noted that people requesting he reconstruct them told stories of no psychiatric evaluation before surgery, just a confirmation that they had the money to pay for it. Then, the real horror came as the surgeon noticed his patients were getting younger and younger.
The world is being misled about transgenderism by the medical community and governments themselves. The information is floating around out there, but it being hidden behind layers of red tape and the media's refusal to talk about this in the open, at least up until recently.
This should be a scandal for the ages, especially as it has damaged so many children.
