Puberty is not a pathology. It is a human right.

[…]

Because we are now living in an era where interrupting puberty is not only normalized, it is institutionalized. Where the body’s sacred transition from child to adult is pathologized under the language of “affirmation.” Where adult discomfort with gender non-conformity leads to the chemical freezing of youth in developmental stasis. This is not science. It is social engineering.

Let me say it plainly: this is not compassion. It is eugenics in a progressive mask.

Puberty Blockers: The Sterile Knife of Silence
We are told they are reversible. We are told they are safe. We are told they are lifesaving.

We are told lies.

Across Europe, nations are retreating from this reckless model. […] Why? Because the risks are profound, and the benefits are unsubstantiated. And yet in Canada and the United States, we have doubled down. It is codified into our legal frameworks. And now we find ourselves fighting—not for luxury, but for the most basic right of all: to grow up.

This is not medical care. This is chemical conversion therapy by another name.

The Psychological Hijack
Children do not come to gender distress in a vacuum. Their identity is shaped in interaction with a world that is fractured, chaotic, and increasingly hostile to real embodiment. They are the symptomatic expression of the world that they find themselves in.

[…]

Rather than address the root causes—trauma, anxiety, sensory integration issues, neurodivergence, social contagion, autism—we reach for the quick fix. […]

We have outsourced the role of elder to clinicians with prescription pads. We have replaced sacred rites of passage with pharmaceutical checkpoints. We have abandoned mentorship in favour of medicalization. And the medical professional can do that in 90 minutes or less—super convenient in a world built for speed.

This is not affirmation. It is abdication.
