Dr Becky Informs School Board Members of Medical Dangers From Transgender Transitioning June1, 2023
Do school teachers, administrators and school board members really want to give their seal of approval to the following?
- Transgender individuals at higher risk of heart health issues? https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2021/09/07/transgender-heart-health/
- Transgender individuals at greater risk of mental health problems? https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/transgender-individuals-at-greater-risk-of-mental-health-problems/
- No long term studies to know the effect of cross hormones on bone mineral density and risk for osteoporosis and fractures. Current literature only reflects short term studies- they are woefully misleading and incomplete.
- Transgender women with 49 times higher rates of HIV than cig-gender women? https://www.aidsmap.com/news/mar-2022/trans-women-66-times-more-likely-have-hiv-trans-men-nearly-7-times-more-likely-global
- The long term risk for sex hormone related cancers (ovarian, uterine) is unknown. NIH acknowledges that the cancer risk “may be altered in transgender people receiving hormone therapy”.

- Trans-males have a higher incidence of urinary tract infections, urinary urgency and pelvic pain because they are on high levels of testosterone. They have problems with urinary stenosis and fistulas.
- Trans-females have a higher incidence of urinary urgency and stress incontinence, urethral strictures and prostate cancer after the age of 50. https://www.curvemag.com/blog/transgender/transgender-urinary-health-how-hormone-therapy-affects-the-urinary-tract/

Psychologists note that transgenders who undergo transition surgery still “had much the same problems with relationships, work, and emotions, as before.” Surgeons who perform this surgery are “merely cooperating with delusional thinking. It is analogous to providing liposuction treatment for an anorexic who is extremely slender but believes themselves to be overweight.”

When transgender affirming books, flags, symbols become prevalent in the culture of our society, including in schools, we can no longer passively accept this.
I am respectfully making you aware of the dangers of silence on this issue for the long term well being of children and youth.
