Gender-confused individuals should not be having surgeries or drugs to “transition,” according to statements and studies from credible medical experts.
LifeSiteNews has begun compiling a review of stories, data, and statements from credible medical officials on the topic of transgenderism and its harms.

They will be held back and then given cross-sex hormones.”
