This was known about at least four years ago, from experiments done on sheep which showed brain alterations on sheep given the blockers.

So the private doctors handing this shit out, the mothers transing their sons and the online groomers and paedophiles are knowingly giving children drugs that will stunt their growth, lower their IQ, leave them anorgasmic for life and potentially lead them down a route of neverending medicalisation with radical experimental and mutilating surgeries and taking exogenous hormones for life. Monsters, a woodchipper is too good for them.

I mean in some ways that's what a crazy mother wants, to keep their boys boys forever, to make sure they don't leave for another woman.

If you think about it not that surprising. Another word for puberty blockers could be maturity stoppers.

that sounds like something Jenna and Tracy would call themselves on 30 Rock

Stoppers Maturity

Maybe it's time to start calling them that. It could be an effective anit-propaganda tool.

They have children and then are determined that their children never have kids. To do so, they turn their kids into sideshow freaks. They pay satanic doctors to do the mutilating. It is for people like these that God, MY GOD, invented Hell.

I want them to test the parents.

"To our surprise we also tested the IQs of the parents and found a similar correlation to low IQ despite the parents never having taken puberty blockers. Very strange indeed."

I think you’d probably find high-IQ parents with a submissive father and dominant, cluster-B, Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy mother.

I say High IQ because this does seem to be most prevalent amongst the upper middle classes and I suspect high IQ people are more often more likely to be susceptible to the Dunning-Kruger effect, members of Facebook groups, be more “progressive” and want to show off their LGBTQ child.

[–]LyingSpirit472 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Completely unfair.

The mother absolutely is dominant, cluster-B, Munchausen's Syndrome-by-Proxy, but the father can just as easily be a deeply closeted bisexual pedophile who thinks it's wrong to molest his son, but molesting his daughter is A-OK!

Bold of you to think that the dad stuck around.

I mean I'm def judging slightly but I've def seen more than one case where there's a single mother who seems to hate men including her son to the point that you can absolutely see her convincing the son that he's actually her daughter. Especially seems to be the case when they're really wrapped up in their kids life being a 'friend' rather than a parent.

Seen a few cases where the kid is just being used as a pawn in divorce proceedings and the mother has the child thinking their trans as a way to spite the father.

How are you defining high IQ? As in firmly above average or actually high IQ as in 155+, ie the top centile? Because I'm in a couple of those facebooks and yes, most of the women there are well educated with professional careers or who could have had professional careers if they hadn't prioritised fulltime motherhood. But, realistically, it would be unlikely that much more than two in a hundred would actually have a high IQ (higher odds than 1% due to the fact that few, if any, members would have a below average IQ). Yes, the Dunning-Kruger effect is very clearly on display with relatively intelligent people parroting the most stupid shit like, but Michael Phelps has big hands!!!!, immediately blaming JKR when news broke of B Ghey's murder and lots and lots of anti-science body positivity nonsense. Lots and lots of what Stella O'Malley calls toxic empathy. She describes it as a huge issue for teens but I see it as an incredibly huge problem for swathes of Millenial and even late-gen X mothers.

I don't see much evidence of critical thinking in these groups. Now a huge part of that, is because it's pretty obvious that if you question the group think, you get fucked out. So I suspect/hope that there are at least some other women in these groups who are still in them in order to observe.

Over 135 is top 1% IQ. The bell curve is taller than you think.

[–]Wanderingthehalls 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Jesus. I tested as having 155 when I was a teenager and was invited for more involved testing because 155 was the highest result possible on the test I did. But I couldn't travel to the city where the testing was. For some reason I had it in my head that 155 was the top cenitle.

I really feel massively fucking unaccomplished now.

I really feel massively fucking unaccomplished now.

There is very little correlation between success (however you measure it, but especially financial success) and IQ scores.

What little correlation there is comes almost entirely from the low end of IQ. Sub 80 and especially sub 70 IQers are very, very unaccomplished underachievers. Everyone from 90 IQ on up is barely better than randomly correlated with success.

(By memory, it works out something like about 10% of employment/job "success" can be attributed to differences in IQ, and a bit less for income or wealth. A conscientious worker with IQ 90 will do a better job than a flakey IQ 150.)

Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have said “high iq” and instead said “above average”, I was thinking in line with what’s required for mediocre professional careers, but not genius high-flyers. Smart enough to do damage.

Basically the people involved aren't mentally retarded.

They are still retarded just metaphysically.

Trans bullshit is a clear example of “Fashionably Irrational Beliefs”, ideological thinking aimed at signalling membership in a tribe rather than truth.

Yes, kids, puberty influences brain development along with the rest of your body, something we all used to understand before the rise of gender ideology.

I was going to joke that perhaps they were dumb to begin with but the article is saying that it actually drops per person... Yikes

[–]jet199 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

It literally drops an amount in some cases where a kid could go from being able to hold down a job to needing live in carers.

[–]Alienhunter糞大名 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it caused arrested brain development.

[–]Haylstorm 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

There's a reason hormones/teenage years are rough. Lots of changes in that time. Removing that melting pot does seem like the brain doesn't get what it's needed.

Just seems like an all around bad idea to me. Five year old kid gets puberty way to early? Sure puberty blockers until they are a bit older seems like it's a good idea. Sticking kids on them until they turn 18 to "put off puberty" until they are old enough to make a decision? Um the kid hasn't gone through puberty they aren't mature and therefore how can they make a decision at all?

To say anything of whether or not they work like that. Will puberty even start up again at 18? Seems like a big problem to start messing with that.

I see a lot of the complaints the trans kids have like "being forced to go through puberty against their will" and I'm all like, yeah growing up sucks don't it.

Maybe the next Peter Pan adaptation should have all the pirates be drag queens or something. Could work actually. Hey kids this is what happens to you if you never grow up.

No, you didn't, but you were born so suck it up snowflake.

More??? Lower than it already is in today's children?

[–]cephyrious 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Are they sure it's not hereditary from their idiot parents? Or contagious from the idiot doctors prescribing it? Or their idiot peers who cheer them on?

Nahn they may be destined for stupid but stopping brain development in the second most active time your body is growing won't help

[–]UncleWillard56 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Idk. Sounds like their parents already dropped their IQ enough by being stupid enough to put their kids on puberty blockers.
