Yonkers Insider: Washington State Children's Hospital Halts Puberty Blockers/Transgender Surgeries on Minors, While New York Seeks to Keep Parents in the Dark.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: WASHINGTON STATE CHILDRENS' HOSPITAL HALTS CHILD GENDER TRANSITION MEDICINES AND SURGERIES IN LIGHT OF NEW SCIENCE…

 

…As New York State Seeks to Block Parental Guidance with

Controversial Prop One Initiative.

 

New York - Aug. 1…A children’s hospital in highly-progressive Washington State has announced that, after carefully reviewing emerging science, surgical and medical gender transformation procedures on children will be halted because of potentially devastating physical and psychological consequences to the children, many of whom are prepubescent, the nonpartisan Coalition to Protect Kids - NY today revealed. 

 

Meanwhile, ideologues in Albany continue their blind push to pass a controversial “Equal Rights Amendment” (AKA “The Parent Replacement Act”) that would ban parents from knowing if a child is mentally struggling with their identity. Most gender-confused children gain clarity over time. The Constitutional ballot initiative is also known as “Prop One.”

 

“Hardline ideologues in the State Legislature are actively working to harm children; there’s simply no polite way to say it,” said Coalition to Protect Kids - NY spokeswoman Ayesha Kreutz.  “They know that giving puberty blockers to 11 and 12 year olds, or surgically removing the breasts of impressionable young girls, is now considered abhorrent in much of the Western World. One European nation after another is moving to stop these experimental procedures on children, but Albany ideologues refuse to hear the message.”

 

The nonpartisan Coalition to Protect Kids - NY includes members of the LGBTQ+ community concerned about the lifelong impacts these procedures can have on vulnerable children.

 

The British High Court just upheld a ban on puberty blockers for children, following dramatic reversals on puberty blockers by other European nations.

 

“Our inclusive Coalition, which includes progressives and conservatives alike who sharply disagree with the amendment proposal, is incredulous that Prop One is even on the ballot,” Ms. Kreutz continued. "This carelessly worded proposal would take parents out of the equation in arguably the biggest life-decision these young kids will ever make. If this dangerous Constitutional Amendment passes in New York, good luck ever getting rid of it. It's the children who will suffer.” 

 

The Coalition to Protect Kids-NY is a nonpartisan ballot issue committee registered with the New York State Board of Elections. It is composed of New Yorkers from all walks of life dedicated to defeating the so-called Equal Rights Amendment to the New York State Constitution.
