Victoria Derbyshire interviewing ‘Jason’ and her mother Leanne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hard on the heels of ‘I am Leo<\/a><\/strong>‘ and its ‘Just a Girl<\/a><\/strong>‘ series, the BBC’s ‘Victoria Derbyshire Programme’ has joined its irresponsible campaign to promote transgenderism among primary school children.<\/p>\n

The morning TV show is today telling the story<\/a><\/strong> of ‘Jason’, a girl who wants to be a boy.<\/p>\n

VIDEO CLIP<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a video clip on a\u00a0BBC webpage the child says: ‘I felt like a boy trapped in a girl’s body and it just really didn’t feel right, it was horrible.’<\/p>\n

Miss Derbyshire asks: ‘What do you remember about when you were treated as a girl and had a girl\u2019s name?’<\/p>\n

The child answers: ‘Well I was treated like any other, anyone else was but I just didn\u2019t feel like the same as everyone else so I felt different and I felt that I was a boy and I am a boy. I came home, I think as, pretty much every day I came home sort of crying because I didn\u2019t know how to explain it. If I was to carry on living as a girl I don\u2019t think I could do it I just I probably wouldn\u2019t, I wouldn\u2019t let anyone see me, I probably wouldn\u2019t come out of my room.’<\/p>\n

‘Jason\u2019s’ mother Leanne tells Victoria Derbyshire she and her husband fully support Jason\u2019s wish to be a boy. She says: ‘I think it\u2019s really hard for a parent or anybody on the outside looking in to understand that they are trapped in the wrong body and that is how they feel and it\u2019s like torture for them every day.’<\/p>\n

‘WRONG BODY’ MANTRA WITH NHS TREATMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Leuprorelin<\/a>

What we see is the popular ‘trapped in the wrong body’ mantra coupled with emotional blackmail.<\/p>\n

Disturbingly, we learn that 120 children who identify as being transgender have had NHS treatment to pause their puberty over the last five years and that ‘Jason’ ‘is one of the youngest.<\/p>\n

She is now having monthly injections of hormone blockers, which effectively and temporarily halt the progress of puberty.<\/p>\n

In ‘Just a Girl’, aimed at children 6-12, the fictional ‘Amy’ wears girl’s clothes and explains to viewers that he was born as a boy, Ben. He too is already in the process of halting puberty by drugs.<\/p>\n

The treatment costs the taxpayer something like \u00a31000 per month and the NHS even produced a ‘Guide to Hormone Therapy for Trans People’<\/a><\/strong>. The Guide makes clear that in addition to the hormone blockers, a child will need to take regular injections of the hormone appropriate to their ‘chosen’ gender.<\/p>\n

This will obviously lower fertility, and if the patient embarks on surgery to have either testicles or ovaries removed, infertility will be permanent. ‘Jason’ and ‘Amy’ will not have children, and ‘Jason’s’ mother Leane will not have the joy of grandchildren from her.<\/p>\n

PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

If someone really and truly believed he was Long John Silver, would the NHS chop off his leg and buy him a parrot? No, his doctor would refer him to a psychiatrist.<\/p>\n

Medicine is there to cure, not to harm. Hormones, let alone surgery, are undertaken with the intent of impairing or destroying a natural bodily function. That is contrary to medicine.<\/p>\n

A more mature society would deal with the underlying psychological and emotional problem, with the aim of making the child feel at home in the body the good Lord gave him or her. Indeed, the problem could even be spiritual.<\/p>\n

The extent to which transgenderism is now becoming fashionable, aided in the UK by our state broadcaster, promoted by materials on the NHS website<\/a><\/strong>, means many more small children will fall for it year by year, trotting out the ‘trapped in the wrong body’ line.<\/p>\n

Bob McCoskie of New Zealand’s ‘Family First’<\/a><\/strong> reports that ‘the overwhelming majority of such children – from 75 to 98 percent – who experience gender dysphoria grow out of it by the time they reach puberty. … The leading clinics seeing such children – such as those in Canada and the Netherlands – do not\u00a0recommend parents and schools facilitate gender changes in such children for\u00a0various reasons. The push in culture today to embrace and affirm such children\u2019s wishes is founded more upon a political ideology than it is in careful science and experience.’<\/p>\n

It may be argued that\u00a0political ideology is bent on societal and individual self-destruction.<\/p>\n

Leading clinicians working in the Netherlands report<\/a><\/strong> ‘the results unequivocally showed that gender dysphoria remitted after puberty in the vast majority of children.’ They refer to this switch back to the child’s natal gender as “desisting”. Thus, most such children are indeed not \u2018transgender’. The Amsterdam Gender Identity Clinic, one of the largest clinics in Europe treating gender dysphoric children, does not recommend that parents, teachers, or clinicians facilitate pre-adolescent sex transitioning, cross-dressing or name-changing.<\/p>\n

Children find it hard to reverse the momentum that was created for them by well-intentioned but enabling adults.<\/p>\n

\"Rupert<\/a>

STATE-SPONSORED CHILD ABUSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going along with such a child’s apparent wishes to adopt the opposite gender could mar them for life and could be seen as state-sponsored child abuse.<\/p>\n

British actor Rupert Everett has also warned parents and clinicians<\/a><\/strong> against encouraging children who believe they should be the opposite sex. Speaking from his own experience as a boy, Everett, who is homosexual, said, \u2018I really wanted to be a girl. Thank God the world of now wasn’t then, because I’d be on hormones and I’d be a woman. After I was 15, I never wanted to be a woman again.’<\/p>\n

Schools going along with transgenderism<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in the liberal West really ought to carry out a full risk-assessment if they are encouraging immature children into life-changing decisions they will regret later.<\/p>\n

Schools and parents should ask themselves:<\/p>\n

How will any amount of ‘transitioning’ change the child’s chromosonal and genetic structure?
\nHow will a male to female child produce eggs or a female to male child sperm?
\nHow do they know the child wil not afterwards regret the ‘transition’ and sue?<\/p>\n

WE ARE MARRING GOD’S\u00a0IMAGE OF\u00a0<\/strong>MALE AND FEMALE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psalm 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Proverbs 14:12 (&16:25) There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.<\/strong><\/p>\n
