11 Year Old Boy Being Subjected To Transgender Hormone Treatments In Berkeley, California

Fox News reports that a "lesbian couple in California who say their 11-year-old son Tommy who wants to be a girl named Tammy are giving their child hormone blockers that delay the onset of puberty -- so that he can have more time that he can have more time to decide if he wants to change his gender."

Unlike FoxNews.com whose headline declares this "raises questions," I think there is no questions about it, these lesbians should be thrown in jail for child abuse.

California Penal Code 273d states: "Any person who willfully inflicts upon a child...an injury resulting in a traumatic condition is guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, four, or six years, or in a county jail for not more than one year, by a fine of up to six thousand dollars ($6,000), or by both that imprisonment and fine" (See http://law.onecle.com/california/penal/273d.html). If I were the District Attorney I would have no qualms about filing charges against both these women, not to mention the psychotic doctors who went along with them, for violating the aforementioned provision of California's criminal code. For some reason I don't think the D.A. of Berkeley shares my sentiments.

Of course the child should be taken away by the State's protective services, that should go without saying. But in Berkeley, will that even happen? Calling this child abuse is certainly not an exaggeration on my part. I don't see how this cannot be considered, as the penal code criminalizes, the willful infliction of an "injury resulting in a traumatic condition." The child is being implanted with hormones to halt the natural development of broad shoulders, deep voice, and facial hair. He is only 11 years old. And the word "child abuse" is being used by experts in this case as well. Professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University Dr. Paul McHugh says it quite plainly: "This is child abuse. It's like performing liposuction on an anorexic child." He further points out that "it is a disorder of the mind. Not a disorder of the body. Dealing with it in this way is not dealing with the problem that truly exists." He says clearly: "I hold that interfering medically or surgically with the natural development of a young child or of young people claiming to be --quote -- 'transgendered' is a form of child abuse." It is willfully physically injuring the child in a way that clearly creates a traumatic condition. It is also, in the words of Dr. McHugh, to "cooperate with a mental illness rather than try to cure it." Dr. Manny Alvarez, senior managing health editor of FoxNews.com, also said the hormone blockers also may pose a medical risk. "I think that it’s highly inappropriate to be interfering with natural hormonal growth patterns. There are significant potential problems necessary for growth and development. Potential long-term effects can include other abnormalities of hormones, vascular complications and even potential cancer. I think that if this child – as he finishes his puberty and teenage years – decides to undergo a transgender procedure – then there are proper channels to do so. But to do it at the age of 11 -- to me -- could be potentially dangerous to the health of this child." This is the willfull infliction of child abuse, what is being done to this child is therefore nothing short of criminal. I do indeed think there is little reason not to bring charges under California Penal Code 273d.

This mental illness should be treated as such, with psychological therapy or psychiatric treatment, not by implanting unnatural hormones and enabling his mental illness. Children at age 11 should not be turned into transgender guinea pigs, a responsible parent would encourage and reinforce natural development rather than shooting up a little boy with hormones to encourage the dystopia. Natural male devopment should never be treated as something to be physically blocked as if it is something to be physically treated. As Dr. McHugh ably put it, "It is a disorder of the mind. Not a disorder of the body. Dealing with it in this way is not dealing with the problem that truly exists." A couple lesbians blocking the natural hormonal growth patterns of a little boy is just plain disturbing.
