End gender madness: Norway bans gender reassignments in children

Now Norway has put a stop to sex reassignments in children. Studies show that the motive behind gender reassignment is often pure imitation by peers.

Norway wants to revise its legislation on gender reassignment treatments for minors. The new regulations stipulate that puberty blockers, transsexual hormones and surgical interventions may only be permitted in research, but no longer in the clinical arena.

Within Europe, Norway follows Finland, Sweden and Great Britain. In the US, eight states have so far banned the treatment of persons under the age of 18, with Tennessee being the latest to pass such a law.

The reason why Norway wants to change its legislation on gender reassignment surgery is that a number of studies show that most children with gender dysphoria are generally comfortable in their bodies when they hit puberty.

The desire to change their gender after puberty is very likely due to a “social contagion”, keyword imitation, i.e. gender reassignments are a frequent topic among peers and in public (social media, media). However, these studies are generally ignored because they do not fit into the image of gender ideology.

Afterword from the translator:

Anyone who violates children with such ideas and push the implementation of these ideas should be strictly prosecuted! But that would be in a world in which sick ideologies combined with big money are not fashionable.

Also, there’s a reason tattooing is illegal on anyone under the age of 16, and why you need parental consent between the ages of 16 and 18. Tattoos also belong in the “want” and “ape” category for me. You can’t just take a tattoo off like a piece of jewelry, or piece of clothing that has become outdated. But in comparison to genital mutilations, tattoos have a kind of lark tolerance. This is actually a turning point in life, with unchangeable consequences — although you can take a tattoo off again more easily than you can get a working penis back — and those should be able to be decided at what age? This does not even require the beginning of a consideration, this should be prevented until the child comes of age.

But as long as this is a big money spinner, this agenda will be pushed. Big Pharma with the hormone preparations, plastic surgeons, doctors and psychologists earn a golden nose with this!

Sow doubt in the child’s mind — reap big $£€!

Afterword from the Baron:

But whoever causes one of these little ones that believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea. (Mark 9:42)
