This is horrifying:

Duke Medicine opened its Gender Clinic in 2015 to offer a wide variety of services under one roof. The clinic treats children as young as two for gender dysphoria.

Dr. Deanna Adkins, a transgender activist who runs the clinic, said this about her toddler trans patients in an interview with the Charlotte Observer in 2016:

“They are not old enough to consciously just choose to do that. … It is not a choice in any of my patients. It’s really an unpleasant thing to have going on in your body to feel that distress about yourself. I can’t imagine anyone who would choose to do that.”

In her expert declaration to a federal district court in North Carolina concerning H.B. 2 Adkins stated, “From a medical perspective, the appropriate determinant of sex is gender identity.”

Adkins argues that gender identity is not only the preferred basis for determining sex, but “the only medically supported determinant of sex.” Every other method is bad science, she claims:

“It is counter to medical science to use chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive organs, external genitalia, or secondary sex characteristics to override gender identity for purposes of classifying someone as male or female.”

This ludicrous sentiment explains how this doctor can see a 2-year-old girl play with a toy truck, and then begin treatment for gender dysphoria.

A few miles down the road, at UNC Health, children as young as three can be evaluated for gender dysphoria. The clinic states it practices "gender affirming care" (gender transitioning) on its intake form.

Interested parents are assured on UNC's website that a team of psychiatrists, endocrinologists, family doctors, and surgeons will collaborate to "affirm" their child's gender.

How eager is UNC Health to "affirm" gender (i.e chemically sterilize and castrate)?

So eager that its medical school residents offer cross sex hormones for free every third Wednesday.

ECU Heath recently jumped on the bandwagon and opened it's own "Pride Clinic" seeing children of all ages. The activist who directs the clinic, Dr. Colby Dendy said this in an interview with the East Carolinian:

“The literature tells us that kids can start around age four having their gender identity, so we do not want to exclude anybody within the pediatrics realm,” Dendy said. “A big part of our goal is to provide affirming primary care to everybody in LGBTQ+ spectrum.”

A majority of ECU Health family medicine doctors indicate they are trained and ready to accept an influx of patients on the center's website.

Dendy and her colleagues at ECU published a recent paper calling for doctors and clinics to push puberty blockers and hormones through telemedicine and school awareness programs.

A month after the doctors at the ECU Pride Clinic published the paper, the school announced it received $3.2 M for a telepsychiatry program for school children.

This takes homophobia to a whole new level. Even in Iran, where they hang gays from cranes and see transitioning to live as the other sex as the only acceptable solution to homosexuality, they'd hardly consider policing toddlers for the slightest sign of deviation from strict gender stereotypes. Of course there's money to be made here, from children who'll need a lifetime of medical supervision after their early mutilations and hormone treatment, but behind the dollar signs there's an almost Khmer Rouge level of ideological fervour in these statements from the deranged medics.

We heard the other day from a Louisiana woman who claimed she knew her biological daughter was trans since infancy because she ate green veggies as a baby. We could maybe laugh at her – but this isn't funny.
