I always thought my country (Denmark) was impervious to the most egregious trans stuff. A no-nonsense nation always looking out for our children. Bah! We have our first 11 year old trans boy on hormone blockers.

No, sorry. I don't know. It is so new here in Denmark. These ideas slowly dribble down from universities into the wider population. I don't have a television, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. You might be thinking, well hold on, am I talking to a fucking caveman? Yes, maybe. I hate social media. What's kinda scary is that someone like me can pick up on these trends

Well, same here. The regular folks don't give two toots about this gender-nonsense - the more horrifying aspect is that big lobbyists are pushing things through our governments and what the fuck are we supposed to do about that?! Everybody has a price, right? Especially egotistical politicians. :/ (And yeah I know it sounds like I wrapped my entire body in tin foil but... lobbying is real, it makes money, money makes policies, policies make money - you get the drill.)

Good thing about Finland is that we actually recently made it mandatory for teens to have proper screenings for e.g. mental illnesses before they would even be admitted to any "gender" clinics. So YAY I guess! At least someone lifted their judgmental eyebrow and went "NOPE, not this time, you greedy pharmaboys."

Vitunrotta: Thank you for writing back. When you mentioned the "pharmaboys" I thought about cost. How much does it cost for a trans person to keep going on hormone pills. I have no idea. Maybe some clever person can figure out the average? I don't even know what Sex reassignment surgery might be.

I've no idea either, to be honest - at this stage it honestly seems like kids and teens (and in certain cases mentally challenged/disturbed adults) are being used as some horrible guinea pigs for a sort of "miraculous" sex-change-medication instead of getting them to therapy, for example.

I've seen way too many documentaries and read way too many in-depth stories & reports about the companies and/or families who run these massive pharmaceutical companies to have zero doubts that they just wanna get the mon€€€y. At any cost. (This is about the infamous Sackler family & opioids and it's a long read but well worth your time, whenever you have some to spare)!

Now look at the opioid crisis in the U.S. - how it was initially marketed (and targeted) and then look at the horrible aftermath. I have a strange feeling that big pharma, the ultra rich and the very gullible are a HORRIBLE combination... (Who knew?!!) /s

And the only ones to come alive and live happily ever after are not the so called "gullible" - ever.
I fear something similar will happen with this mad push of hormone blockers etc. :(
