If the legal system allows a 10 year old child to make their own decision to
change their sexwith hormones and or surgery without parental involvement.
Common sense woulddictate that they also have the mentalmaturity to take
drugs, smoke, get a tatoo, watch porn, engage in prostitution ,and any form of
sexual behavior with adults. In other words , stand back andwatch a 10 year old
destroy his life before it even starts in the name of ‘woke’freedom. “If anyone
causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—tostumble, it would be
better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be
drowned inthe depths of the sea.” Matt 18:6

Thank you Norm for initiating the topic and to Willow who brings a scholarly
and life experiences to the table.
Many United Churches are Affirming Congregations (The Affirming Ministries
Program is a network of primarily United Church ministries that strive to be
fully inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. You
don’t have to be United Church to take part, though!).
Suzanne is a member of Hillhurst United Church located in the Kensington
neighbourhood of Calgary. While COVID has piled up negatives one positive for
us has been electronically finding this church from a far.

Subject: Re: Fw: FW: IMG_1384.jpgUnhappily those opposed to early hormones,
blockers, and transition generally for kids have faced nasty attacks for years.
Blanchard and Peterson at the Clarke Institute in Toronto, once stalwarts of
trying to hold the line have both retired. Ken Zucker, world renown expert on
childhood transition was actually terminated by the Clarke after a rush of
politically correct choristers. A report noted for inaccuracies was used. He
sued and recovered damages. In other countries, from England and France to
Scandinavia, those opposed to or advocating strict controls have reeled under
attacks from the PC crowd. Even transsexual women, including myself, who
supported controls were attacked on the Internet and media. So, while it is
true that some are aware of their gender issues from a very early age, it is
also true that other young are swept up in a fad of sorts. Most kids who claim
to be trans “grow out of it” as they reach their twenties. The problem is that
there is no way to tell which is which. A mistake is a mistake for life and
often there is no turning back once the process starts. The Zucker situation
was instructive. He had been know as one of the very few experts on childhood
transition. His therapy was directed at questioning the urge to change. The
opposing side basically said “if you want to change, no one should stop you”.
A simplification, to be sure. Parents were encouraged To be supportativeand
not challenge children who said they were trans. Many professionals were in
favour of this approach. Zucker challenge that concept and was thus accused of
reparative therapy. This article gives a fuller explanation of the
controversy:

I don't know if any of you will find this offensive (I did), but those who are
trangendered may find it offensive, or at least insensitive, because some of
them insist they were aware shortly after birth and before they reached school
age that they were the opposite sex from the body they were given. Others
became aware of their transgender later, so it could also be offensive if the
age was given as 10 or even 15. Thought about forwarding this for 2 days, and
finally decided to do it because it may stimulate some thought.Norm
