Ethical concerns around transitioning children
A French Senate report labels the practice of sexually 'transitioning' children as one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine, citing lack of evidence on effectiveness and ignoring side effects. The report highlights the prevalence of mental health issues among children seeking gender reassignment and criticizes the use of puberty-blocking drugs. It suggests that the rise in gender transitioning is influenced by social media trends and warns against 'wokism' in the medical field.
