I have to shake my head in sadness at the depravity of some doctors in the US. A recent news article mentioned that top pro-LGBT doctors know transgender hormones cause cancer and death (as well as several other problems) and yet still continue to prescribe them.
Not only that, but they refer minors for surgery, even after learning that they have a mental health disorder. One callous doctor, Christine McGinn, is quoted saying she: “operated on three DID [Dissociative Identity Disorder] patients” and also is upset over hospitals that are starting to ban transgender surgeries for minors, blaming the hospitals and surgeons for not doing the surgeries because of political pressure.
This article, citing leaked office memos and video meetings from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), has plenty of condemning material. This group is touted as the global leader in gender “medicine” (really mutilation and harmful hormone pushing).
Their own internal communications show that most doctors did know about some of the effects of hormones and unnecessary surgeries, and many are unconcerned with them. One doctor even blamed the victims (and their parents), saying, “Patients need to own and take active responsibility for medical decisions, especially those that have potentially permanent effects.”
But not only do they know this, many pages of the leaked document show that they also know minors (especially younger ones), cannot adequately give informed consent when they do not understand what will be done to them. One doctor is quoted as saying, “We try to talk about it, but most of the kids are nowhere in any kind of a brain space to really, really, really talk about it seriously.”
Another doctor admitted repeatedly that most doctors know that many children and their parents don’t understand the effects that puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries will have on their bodies. Even people with mental health issues such as major depressive disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression due to homelessness, have been waved through the transgender mutilation mill.
Yet these doctors continue to perform and push for so-called gender medicine. Why would they do that? Some are perhaps in it for the money, as trans-surgeries are expensive and require follow-up visits for years. But ultimately, it is because they do not have an ultimate standard for morality.
Like it is said in Judges 17:6 and 21:25, “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” They worship the god of “self,” not the one true God of Scripture.
But another reason I am saddened by this news article is for the hardness of these doctors’ hearts deceived by sin (Hebrews 3:13) and because of what Christ said of those who would harm little ones precious to him (Luke 17:1–3). We should all pray that this leaked memo causes people to wake up, repent, and turn to Christ as the Savior for sin!
It also should remind us who is ultimately behind this: “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).
The devil takes everything God has created/ordained and perverts it. He hates that which is made in the image of God.
