Another European nation back-pedals on transgenderism

Officials cite 'social contagion,' variety of influences like 'depression'

Denmark has joined several other Western nations where officials are back-pedaling their previous advocacy for transgenderism.

A report in the Washington Stand notes a report from the Danish-language publication Ugeskrift for Laeger, a journal of the Danish Medical Association, confirmed the move.

It cited surging testimonies of those who are detransitioning, the possibility of psychiatric comorbidities and other "unexplained" factors, such as the prevalence of teen girls joining the movement, as its reasons.

The Stand reported, "Denmark joins other European countries who first embraced these treatments but then pulled back when the harmful effects became apparent."

The article authors confirm that similar moves already have developed in Sweden and Finland.

The cause for concern is easy to discern.

The Stand reported, "Denmark’s nationalized health care system only recorded four intakes for minors seeking puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones in 2014 — none of which were approved. But since Denmark began approving such treatments in 2016, the number has exploded, climbing to 352 minors in 2022 (an 8,700% increase), not a small number in a country with a population similar to that of Wisconsin."

The Stand cited the "lack of an explanation for the lopsided demographics" as one of the influences on Denmark's decision.

The journal, in fact, said, "In contrast to the sex ratio in previous cohorts, the increase among young people is mainly made up of birth-assigned girls. Birth-assigned girls aged 11-18 make up 70%" of minors trying to enter the transgender system.

One reason that has been suggested for that is "social contagion."

But the journal also notes issues involving "psychiatric diagnoses" among youth, mostly involve depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, autism and the like.

"Contraindications to hormone therapy are abuse, suicidal ideation/self-harm, severe psychological distress and worrisome somatic conditions (e.g. cancer, thromboembolic disease)," it explained.

And it cites what has been obvious by other studies: that most young people affected by a sexual dysphoria eventually resolve to live as their birth sex if they are not subjected to outside influences.

"Under the new Danish medical practice, 'in case of unstable psychosocial conditions or short duration of sexual discomfort, the referral [of a minor for gender transition hormone treatment] is rejected,'" the report said.

Other nations that have moved away from their earlier promotions of transgenderism include France, Norway and the United Kingdom.

American "medical gatekeepers" have yet to recognize the harms that now are evident across other countries, the report said.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today's ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film "Sound of Freedom" – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.

According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children's "right to consent" on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.

"Pedophiles are sitting back right now," says Ballard, "and going, ‘We've been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don't have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us' – IN AMERICA!"

Ballard's concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, "THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION."

But that's just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites' affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled "THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A."
