Immorality
is costly. It is harmful. In the modern world there are few things more harmful
than gender “affirming” healthcare. And health insurers are becoming aware of
this,
“One of Australia's leading medical insurers has dumped cover
for private practising doctors who initiate hormone treatment in adolescents
with gender dysphoria, a decision that may put even more pressure on public
hospital waiting lists.
MDA National said it will also no longer insure private
doctors, such as general practitioners, from legal claims arising from the
assessment of patients under 18 as suitable for gender transition treatments,
such as cross-sex hormones and gender affirmation surgeries.
The Australian Professional Association for Trans Health
(AusPATH), representing hundreds of health professionals who provide care to
transgender people, is aware of some GPs who have already stopped gender-affirming
care — a model that supports the child's choices and can lead to medical
interventions such as puberty blockers and hormone treatment.
AusPATH is concerned the MDA National decision will
particularly affect trans youth living outside major cities, who struggle to
access public gender services.
"It's going to stop a number of children ever being able
to access gender affirming care before they turn 18," AusPATH president
Professor Ashleigh Lin said.
The MDA National decision, effective from July 1, comes after
the insurer reviewed the medico-legal risks amid what it described as
"growing criticism globally of the research that underpins medical and
surgical transition of children in response to gender dysphoria"
It was made in response to "the risk of potentially
high-value claims arising from irreversible treatments" provided to
children and adolescents.
Gender-affirming hormonal therapies with testosterone or
oestrogen may cause temporary or permanent infertility…[1]
This is a
good move in the right direction, but of course does not go far enough. Until
those who do such surgeries are stopped with the full force of the law, so they
cannot hurt kids anymore, it will not have gone far enough. Throughout history
pagan societies have enacted harmful practices including various forms of
cutting of the body and other abhorrent acts. Our modern pagan society is no different. And this is an intolerable evil. May
it become untenable and unacceptable in every quarter of society to practice such barbaric
medicine.
Men and women are created in the image of God. Male and female he created them,
we do not have the power or the authority to override biology and to try to do
so can only cause harm and disfigurement. And people often regret doing such harm to their bodies. The fact that insurance companies are starting to reject insuring this kind of Frankenstein "healthcare" is a really good move. It is also a sign that reality is pushing back against people's insane fantasies. Which is a good thing. Immorality is costly and harmful. The greatest cost being those who suffer the damage that is done to them by those who practice it.
May this end in our lifetime, so our children and
children’s children don’t have to ever encounter it.
