What the hell is our Defense Department doing?
No seven year old is capable of making an irreversible life changing decision especially one that is harmful. This is beyond depraved.
Just to be clear, the American College of Pediatricians warned:

No Evidence that Transgender Interventions are Safe for Children
There is not a single long-term study to demonstrate the safety or efficacy of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for transgender-believing youth. This means that youth transition is experimental, and therefore, parents cannot provide informed consent, nor can minors provide assent for these interventions. Moreover, the best long-term evidence we have among adults shows that medical intervention fails to reduce suicide.
Puberty blockers may cause mental illness
Puberty blockers may actually cause depression and other emotional disturbances related to suicide. In fact, the package insert for Lupron, the number one prescribed puberty blocker in America, lists “emotional instability” as a side effect and warns prescribers to “Monitor for development or worsening of psychiatric symptoms during treatment.” Similarly, discussing an experimental trial of puberty blockers in the U.K., Oxford University Professor Michael Biggs wrote, “There was no statistically significant difference in psychosocial functioning between the group given blockers and the group given only psychological support. In addition, there is unpublished evidence that after a year on [puberty blockers] children reported greater self-harm, and the girls also experienced more behavioral and emotional problems and expressed greater dissatisfaction with their body—so puberty blockers exacerbated gender dysphoria.”
Puberty blockers may cause permanent physical harm
Temporary use of Lupron has also been associated with and may be the cause of many serious permanent side effects including osteoporosis, mood disorders, seizures, cognitive impairment and, when combined with cross-sex hormones, sterility.
Cross-sex hormones (testosterone for women; estrogen for men) may disrupt mental health
Women who identify as men are given enough testosterone to raise their levels 10-40 times above the female reference range. Past studies have documented multiple psychiatric problems with similar high doses of anabolic steroids like testosterone such that 23% of subjects met DSM criteria for a major mood syndrome such as mania, hypomania, and major depression, and 3.4-12% developed psychotic symptoms. Estrogen also impacts mood in complex ways. Post menopausal women treated with estrogen often experience severe anxiety despite being placed on physiologic doses of the hormone. Men who identify as women are given supraphysiologic doses of estrogen; theoretically, this has the potential to worsen both depression and anxiety.
Other health risks are correlated with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones
Temporary use of puberty blocker Lupron has also been associated with and may be the cause of many serious permanent side effects including osteoporosis, mood disorders, seizures, cognitive impairment and, when combined with cross-sex hormones, sterility. In addition to the harm from Lupron, cross-sex hormones put youth at an increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, blood clots and cancers across their lifespan. Add to this the fact that physically healthy transgender-believing girls are being given double mastectomies at 13 and hysterectomies at 16, while their male counterparts are referred for surgical castration and penectomies at 16 and 17, respectively, and it becomes clear that affirming transition in children is about mutilating and sterilizing emotionally troubled youth.
Transgender interventions for children are experimental and dangerous
Many medical organizations around the world, including the Australian College of Physicians, the Royal College of General Practitioners in the United Kingdom, and the Swedish National Council for Medical Ethics have characterized these interventions in children as experimental and dangerous. World renowned Swedish psychiatrist Dr. Christopher Gillberg has said that pediatric transition is “possibly one of the greatest scandals in medical history” and called for “an immediate moratorium on the use of puberty blocker drugs because of their unknown long-term effects.”
Pentagon Doctors Claim 7-Year-Olds Can Consent to Puberty Blockers
Pentagon doctors claimed that seven-year-olds are capable of making decisions to be injected with puberty-blocking drugs and cross-sex hormones.
Healthcare providers connected with the Department of Defense (DoD) argued in favor of the so-called “gender-affirming” model of care for children with gender dysphoria, Fox News first reported.
The providers advocated for “gender-affirming health care, such as puberty suppression and affirming hormones,” in the March edition of the American Journal of Public Health, also going on to claim that “youths … have an inherent ability and right to consent to gender-affirming therapy.”
The authors — David A. Klein, Thomas Baxter, Noelle S. Larson, and clinical psychologist, Natasha A. Schvey, PhD — called for the military to train providers with the so-called “gender-affirming” model of care. They did, however, acknowledge that 53 percent of physicians associated with the military through the DoD health system have stated that they would refuse to provide hormones.
Larson, who is a pediatric endocrinologist, works for the Department of Pediatrics at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, while Klein Schvey and Baxter work at California’s Travis Air Force Base.
The authors also argued that it is unethical for providers to wait to see if a patient grows out of gender dysphoria. The paper reads:
Some well-intentioned military-affiliated clinicians may not be aware that a ‘watchful waiting’ approach has a different risk profile than a gender-affirmative approach (which allows for gender identity exploration), and that ‘conversion therapy’ is unethical, harmful, and generally illegal.
The DoD stated that “The Department of Defense will train its health care providers in keeping with current science and best medical evidence,” when asked by Fox News whether or not it intended to offer training in support of the “gender-affirming” model of care.
Dr. Stanley Goldfarb of Do No Harm, an organization dedicated to opposing racial and gender ideologies in medicine, spoke out against the claims made in the paper. He remarked, “The notion that 7-year-old children are capable of such decisions is beyond laughable.”
“The existence of a large, perhaps as much as 25% cohort of ‘detransitioners,’ suggests the folly of assuming the soundness of childhood decisions,” he also stated.
The providers also remarked:
Clinicians… may be forced to choose between withholding… treatments to act in accordance with state law, and providing ethical and evidence-based treatment while facing legal or financial persecution, dishonorable military service, or allegations of child abuse.
”The DHA should also make a commitment to defending clinicians and families who render gender-affirming care to minors in accordance with DHA legal guidance from prosecution under state laws or policies that criminalize this care,” the doctors also said.

Like Dylan said (I think): “They’re selling postcards of the hanging …”
7 year olds obviously have no clue, as you know probably even better than 1 do. Even 18 or 21 year olds have no clue, but we have to cut them loose at some point.

The insanity of people in our government keeps increasing to more ridiculous and crazy levels. I am now 71 years old. When I was seven I was very young, ignorant and growing up. And my parents did what they could to raise me properly and made decisions for me. There was none of this foolishness to change my gender. I was a boy and I was raised as a boy to eventually grow up into being a man.

Why you young whippersnapper, I’m 81. At age 7, I was concerned about feeding chickens and other animals, getting the eggs from the chicken house to the kitchen without breaking any of them. And finally being able to drive the tractor.

At age 7, my mom let me choose whether I wanted a chocolate cake, white cake, or a strawberry short cake for my birthday. It took me a few minutes, but I finally decided on the blackout chocolate cake. I think that I chose wisely!

At age 7 my parents gave me the right to have any politician that I felt was a traitor executed on my command. The list is above.
As all DrmoNazis know, the decision of a seven year old must be respected and followed. I command these executions be administered immediately.

It’s obvious that the Pentagon is yet another in a long line of government sewers – er, agencies, that have become enforcement wings of NAMBLA and their numerous front groups, proxies, affiliates, surrogates, offshoots and spinoffs. It is NOT up to the government to promote these behaviors, or to advocate turning more and more of our children into surgically-produced freaks and mutants for life. And for whose benefit? Only the “LGBTQ community’s,” that’s what.

Once again, more evidence to what a real FBI agent wrote in 1958! America has been under Marxists assault for nearly 200 years. Read Paul Kengor’s book TAKEDOWN, FROM COMMUNISTS TO PROGRESSIVES, HOW THE LEFT HAS SABOTAGED FAMILY AND MARRIAGE.
In 1958 Cleon Skousen published his book The Naked Communist and in that book he compiled The Goals of the Communists. Look at just a few of the Goals!
#21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
#24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
#25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
#26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”
#27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
#28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
It was a FDR supreme court judge, Hugo BLACK ALSO A KKK, member that ruled on #28. Madline Murray O’Hare, a Marxist, pushed to remove prayer from the schools.
Alex Newman in his article “The Sordid History and Deadly Consequences of ‘Sex Ed’ at School” revealed much the same. For example:
“Communists also played a key role. Prior to the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, Russian communists vigorously
promoted perverted sex education and “free love.” However, after realizing that society (and their regime) would
collapse if it continued, that was stopped in 1924—at least in Russia, while the “New Soviet Man” was being
created.”
IN his book Takedown, Paul Kengor revealed that the Weather Underground was doing exactly the same thing in the early 1960s. Anyone recall one of the founders of the Weather Underground Bill Ayers, who has been a college professor for more than 50 years?
Alex notes:
“Bolshevik Deputy Commissar for Education and Culture Gyorgy Lukacs, who assumed his post in Hungary’s Bela Kun regime in 1918, pioneered this strategy in Hungary, with catastrophic results. Upon taking power, Lukacs and his comrades mandated raunchy sex education very similar to what is used today in the United States.”
And what was the purpose??
“His Goal Was To Obliterate Hungary’s Christian Civilization And Values On The Road To A Marxist Utopia. His Tools Included Mandating Puppet Shows Featuring Perverted Sex Acts To Young School Children, Encouraging
Promiscuity In Sex Education, And Mocking Christian-style Family Values At The Bedrock Of Civilization.”
Knowing all this just remember that the probable author of the Communist Manifesto is not Karl Marx, but a cousin of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Clinton Roosevelt that published his book in 1841, well before Marx published his work.
Read the Kengor book to learn about the Communists communes that opened in Oneida, NY in 1841 and in New Harmony, IN in 1826. What year was the Clinton Roosevelt book published? 1841. Communist Manifesto? 1848.

Our so called Defense Department does everything except National Defense. The Pentagonians ought to be dishonorably discharged from military service due to incompetence. The Pentagon ought to be dissolved like many other big government agencies. However, I don’t see this happening since no one is willing to confront the evil ruling America today! America will not survive unless there is an awakening.

Why has the West flipped itself upside-down? America was the last stronghold that mattered, but she too has joined those on the broad path to hell.
What did the bible say would happen as the last days drew near. It would, among other things, be like the days of Lot again. How can anyone explain the madness that has gripped our societies? It is beyond irrational.
Can you not see that we are already at the point that God has stopped calling for the nations to repent and has given them over to debased minds, believing one deception after another?
Get ready for His imminent return. Start reading about Christ in the bible. Don’t listen to anyone else about what the bible says. Read it for yourself and ask God to help you to understand it. But don’t put it off any longer. Time is running out quickly

It is directly related to LGBTQ control over EVERY institution – and WHY there should be a coordinated drive to PURGE them from every position of power they hold, everywhere. It’s no different from what Anne Marie Waters wrote about Muslims calling the shots in Yorkshire, England. Just as over there, “this is Sharia,” here this is radical fringe Greenwich Village/San Francisco/Fire Island/Key West “values,” formulated in bathhouses and gay bars, based on the ’60’s sexual revolution dictums of “anything goes” and “if it feels good, do it in the road” – and “anchored” in the fickle whims, fads, fashions, caprices, dictates and spurs of the moment. And no less reliant on fascistic coercion to carry out its tenets than Sharia. Go ask Jack Phillips and other Christian business owners.

When a society can no longer protect its children from perverts, it is lost.
Every level of society needs to be purged of the degenerate scum that has found a home there. They must be either executed for their degenerate crimes or removed to a penal colony far from our shores along with those sick monsters who enabled them all.

If ever there was an equivalent in modern times of the old tale of “the fox guarding the chicken coop,” here it is. But it is painfully obvious the Pentagon, in doing this, is taking its orders from NAMBLA and their various fronts, proxies, affiliates, surrogates, offshoots and supporters.

Why is the Pentagon concerned about the decisions being made by seven year old kids? There really is something Depraved going on here.
First the schools with their gender changing programs. Now the government and its agencies right up to the military.
I read a book many years ago, called “The Forever War.” It centered around the military fighting a war in space but most of our population was something other than Straight. That’s what the world is turning into, the world being dominated by the sexually perverted.
