Trans Kids

The controversial topic with regards to protecting trans kids is a subject of heavy debate among the conservatives and liberals. However, some studies show that trans kids are receiving more antipsychotic medication than they were before. This is in contrast to the claim that most liberals are stating, where these procedures can save lives. 

According to The Post Millennial,  a study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine analyses medical records from the Department of Defense (DoD) for 3,754 adolescents who are identifying as transgender and 6,603 siblings who did not. The results show that commencing hormone interventions did not improve the mental health of trans-identified adolescents.

Furthermore, the interventions are leading to an increase in prescriptions for psychotropic medication. The study also finds that among 963 transgender/gender diverse youth using gender-affirming pharmaceuticals, mental health care remains largely the same. However, prescriptions for psychotropic medication are increasing. 

Twitter users react to trans kids receiving more antipsychotics after treatment 

Activist Billboard Chris, who has over 250,000 followers on Twitter states that children with depression who are undergoing gender affirming care would get worse. He also states that transitioning children are the peak of “human insanity,” to which he is receiving strong support for. 

A Twitter user who is trans and a veteran states her opinions regarding the situation. She states that she has been trans for the past 28 years. Furthermore, she adds that it is a ploy by the big pharmaceutical companies to make more profit off these children. Others support her comment by stating that this issue is undermining the people who are actually trans. 

 

Another Twitter user claims that Billboard Chris does not know the root cause of this whole issue. However, another user responds by stating that it is done by the pharmaceutical companies, only for them to make a quick buck out of people. 

The sentiment regarding big pharma exploiting people for profit is a popular one. Accusations towards these companies recruiting children to be their lifelong customers is what most conservatives think. Following that, another user writes that the leftists are not realizing that they are being used as a money making pawn for these very companies.
