The New Lab Rats For Gender Drug Tests

When my twin brother was a budding academic in the sciences at Oxford University back in the late 80s/early 90s there were precautionary measures taken for any laboratory that experimented with animals.

Universities would have their own breeding stock of animals for the high demand from the sciences, who were making steps to solve some of the more intransigent health problems humans face.

There had been threats of violence from ant-vivisection groups towards a range of departments that used mice, rats and other rodents, to conduct tests for issues such as hearing and brain tests, etc.  All of the animals would be humanely euthanised at the end of the trials. But that was no comfort to the anti-vivisectionists who made their feelings loud and clear. And their threat.

So security measures were put in place. Just in case. There had actually been bomb threats, though nothing came of it.

Oh how far we have come! So deeply has a decade and a half of gender ideology bitten into our Western culture, that children as young as ten are now set  be the new lab rats, and all with government approval. And not a squeak from the noble types who were squeamish about animal testing.

And what drugs will these children be testing? Well, they’re children, so puberty blockers of course. Children will now comprise a cohort to test drugs that we already know have huge physiological, development and psychological impacts on whoever is subjected to them.

Where are the adults in the room? Or more to the point, where are the adults in the room who are not in thrall to gender ideology? And those anti-vivisectionists? Well they’ll be pleased that rats and mice are spared the ignominy of being stuck in micey and ratty childhood bodies forever.

The Times newspaper reports that children as young as ten will be used for the trials. Of course these children have to be suffering from gender dysphoria. So rather than adult these children, monitor them carefully, give them psychological guidance and care, they will be the subject of a drugs trial that utilises a series of drugs that we already know have adverse side effects!

Here’s what The Times says:

Dozens of children will be given puberty blockers on the NHS from early next year after a trial was granted ethical approval. The study by King’s College London will recruit about 250 girls and boys aged 10 to 15 who identify as transgender, and who have parental consent. More than half will be injected with a hormone-suppressing drug that pauses the physical changes of puberty, such as breasts, periods or facial hair. The trial is meant to fill an evidence gap about how best to treat gender dysphoria in children, but critics have threatened a High Court challenge to stop it, saying recruiting to the study is like putting “lambs to the slaughter”.

Ethical approval? Shame! And the fact that parental consent is required simply shows how ingrained the ideological madness has become. Once again, where are the adults in the room? I guess the adults who could stop this all have left the room in disgust. The whole point of the Cass report, which resulted in the shutdown of the ideologically capture Tavistock Centre, was to avert harm.

But that’s not enough for the NHS. Now we have to make that harm official. And now, instead of the harm being under the counter, or unmonitored; instead of those who pushed back against it being suppressed or sacked, taxpayers will now fund the use of puberty blockers on children in an offical way. Just to see, of course, what happens to them. Officially of course. Let’s keep it official.

That eugenics program back in the day in that country called Germany was not evil, clearly it was just ahead of its time.Oh and it was official too. Say what you like about the NHS’s complete turmoil and inability to provide proper health care, it’s well ahead of the curve when it comes to experimenting on children.

The Times goes on, and I want you to read this slowly, then go back and read it again to get the full weight of what it is saying:

Children will be put on puberty blockers for up to two years and monitored until early adulthood. Their brain development, quality of life and physical and mental health will be compared with those not given the drugs.

I wonder how that will work out? I wonder what we could further knowledge could be gained, given there has been a surfeit of blockers handed out to children across the UK, and indeed here in Australia, over recent years.  Many of the attendant problems have already been demonstrated. But no, let’s make it like, you know, all sciencey and stuff!

The Times goes on to quote Dr Alice Hodkinson, of Biology in Medicine:

“There is already clear evidence of harm, and there is no ethical justification for subjecting another 200 children to puberty blockers. We urge NHS England to stop placing children in harm’s way and to prioritise rigorous analysis of the cohort of 2,000 children who have already received puberty blockers.”

2000?  Already 2000? Seems a large enough cohort to establish what is actually happening, which is what Dr Hodkinson goes on to say.  But no, let’s make sure. Let’s really make sure. One wonders when the adults will be allowed back into the room. One wonders if the BBC – which has been exposed recently for suppressing negative stories about trans issues -, has anything to say.

After all, major health matters have been a concern to the BBC in so many other areas of life. But the gender ideologues have so infiltrated the BBC (and our own ABC in Australia), that such concerns will be suppressed. Thank goodness for The Times, and I assume The Australian in Oz, who will report on this.

And of course this is going to end up in a terrible legal tangle, as The Times reports of a law firm already assisting claimants who have had irreversible blocking treatment.

Paul Conrathe, of the law firm Conrathe Gardner, said, “There are grave legal concerns about conducting a trial on children using a treatment which may lead to irreversible lifelong harm, and which research has already shown provides limited, if any, benefit. The failure to conduct animal trials before experimenting on children exposes them to an unacceptable risk of harm.”

Yep, you know those nasty vivisectionists? Testing animals back in the day? Now here we are using children before furry babies, er, I mean animals.

Perhaps the next stage would be for the ideologues in the transgender movement to call for a state-sponsored breeding program that raises actual children for actual use in their sociological experiments.  Though mind you, we already have that, only we call it surrogacy for gay marriage.

Because one thing is for sure, the Sexual Revolution cannot sate itself. It is constantly hungry for more.  And its favourite flavour is children.

And another thing is for sure, given how far behind Australia is on this matter (and just about every other correction of the last decade’s craziness around the West), perhaps our own drug trial using puberty blockers on children is still a few years away.

Finally, if this does not grieve you, and call out “How long oh Lord?” then perhaps you too have been as captivated by the Sexular Age as the NHS clearly has been.
