Gender clinics take gender nonconforming kids (a group that has always included a huge percentage of future gay and lesbian adults) and tell them they were “born in the wrong body.” Instead of talk therapy that explores why they hate their developing same sex body, they get puberty blockers, wrong sex hormones, and surgery. The result? Same sex attracted youth are chemically and surgically converted into the “straight” version of the opposite sex. … Gay erasure, now with medical billing codes.

The Finnish data confirms it. Psychiatric needs did not drop after medical transition. They exploded. The underlying distress (often tied to emerging same sex attraction, autism, trauma, or social contagion) was never treated. It was masked with hormones and scalpels.
