I moved a motion in the Senate this afternoon condemning the use of untested and permanent hormonal treatment in children with reported Gender Dysphoria. Genuine transgender people do exist, but the evidence on allowing children to alter their gender permanently and irreversibly does not. This was a motion to protect children.
Children going through puberty have many feelings and experiences, but 70-90% of gender dysphoria resolves itself by puberty. Allowing doctors to permanently change children’s gender before then must be condemned.
