(Kyle Becker) Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to push back hard against the Woke politics that is spreading across America. And the radical left isn’t liking it one bit.

One of the frontlines in the increasingly belligerent culture war has been the concerted attempt by the radical left to ‘groom’ kids into the LGBTQIA2+ lifestyle, particularly by glamorizing it with schoolchildren.

Drag queens now routinely visit schools to talk about how wonderful their profession is and school libraries now regularly stock borderline pornographic material that entices children to try out homosexual behavior. The LGBTQ material can at times be so sexually explicit that school board members forbid it from being discussed at their meetings.

Amid all of the left’s intentionally caused social tumult, Florida’s State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo has told the Florida Board of Medicine that it needs to strongly reconsider its position on transgender surgery and treatments. Ladapo stated the following in his letter issued Thursday.

“On April 20, 2022, the Florida Department of Health (Department) released guidance on the treatment of gender dysphoria for children and adolescents,” the letter states.

“As State Surgeon General, I recommended against certain pharmaceutical, non-pharmaceutical, and surgical treatments for gender dysphoria,” Ladapo continues. “The recommendations are based on a lack of conclusive evidence and the high risk for long-term, irreversible harms from these treatments. Since then, the Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) has conducted a full review to determine if these treatments are ‘consistent with generally accepted professional medical standards (GAPMS) and not experimental or investigational’.”

“The Agency’s review included an overview of systematic reviews on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, surgeries, or a combination of interventions,” he adds. “While some professional organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Endocrine Society, recommend these treatments for ‘gender affirming’ care, the scientific evidence supporting these complex medical interventions is extraordinarily weak.”

“For instance, the overview conducted by Dr. Brignardello-Peterson and Dr. Wiercioch states that ‘there is great uncertainty about the effects of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries in young people with gender dysphoria’,” Ladapo notes. “The current standards set by numerous professional organizations appear to follow a preferred political ideology instead of the highest level of generally accepted medical science.”

“Florida must do more to protect children from politics-based medicine,” he argues. “Otherwise, children and adolescents in our state will continue to face a substantial risk of long-term harm. The Agency ultimately concluded that ‘Available medical literature provides insufficient evidence that sex reassignment through medical interventions is a safe and effective treatment for gender dysphoria.’ I encourage the Board to review the Agency’s findings and the Department’s guidance to establish a standard of care for these complex and irreversible procedures.”

The Woke left instantly burst into a hyperbolic frenzy over the guidance.

 

But at a time when childhood anxiety and depression are skyrocketing through the roof, many are questioning whether the escalating trend of youth seeking transgender surgery and treatment is a reflection of psychosocial vulnerability that has translated into higher incidence rates of gender dysphoria.

Children are not capable of making life-altering decisions. That is why individuals need to be 18 years old in order to vote, buy alcohol, join the military, and purchase firearms. Yet radical parents are often making decisions for their children that may set them on a track for psychological disorders and suicidal ideation. This is partly because gender-transitioning implies a rejection of the self as nature made it.

According to the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, “[d]ata indicate that 82% of transgender individuals have considered killing themselves and 40% have attempted suicide, with suicidality highest among transgender youth.”

Patients expressing gender dysphoria are obviously highly sensitive individuals with psychological vulnerabilities; it behooves psychiatrists and mental health professionals that they assess patient outcomes for gender-transitioning patients based on scientific data, and not based on the political pressure that is being wielded by ideologically driven radical activist groups.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
