WHAT HAPPENS TO A YOUNG WOMAN'S BODY WHEN SHE'S PUMPED WITH TESTOSTERONE TO "TRANSITION"?



This is what's happening to young women taking testosterone to "transition" to male. Testosterone was never meant to be in any kind of high level in a woman's body. "T" is extremely powerful. T does violence to women's bodies. #LoveYourBody #RespectYourself #RespectMotherNature


What did these doctors not learn about the human body in med school?? Their education must have been grossly deficient, OR they are being threatened by activists/lobbyists/higher-ups to follow this new "protocol" which is a horror show. Since when do doctors collude with a delusion? What happened to being men and women of science?

BISHOP PAPROCKI (SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS) PASTORAL GUIDE ON GENDER IDENTITY


Bishop Paprocki is offering true compassion here. "Be your true self" means love your whole self, body and soul.
(It's a process. You CAN learn to love yourself!) 💓 You are amazing JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!




PASTORAL GUIDE ON GENDER IDENTITY:
https://www.dio.org/policy-book/77-650-gender-identity/file.html


I just watched the 4 short videos of talking points for parents on gender issues recommended in the Guide.

They're pretty good, but I would just make a caveat about the first video. Katy, the host, says that we don't
really know how to treat gender dysphoria or the outcomes of various treatments yet.
This is not true. We do know, there are studies, and "transitioning" to the opposite sex does not have good
outcomes, especially in youth (the younger one transitions, the sooner the regret--not to mention the severe health,
physical, psychological problems that accompany the extremely invasive, often irreversible puberty-blocking,
cross-hormonal and surgical "treatments." (Katy actually goes on to talk about these factors in the other 3 videos,
but if someone only watches the first one, they could easily think that transitioning might be a good option for
their child!)

Please see www.GenderResourceGuide.com and https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2020/02/60143/ (there are
many more studies/resources as well).

Bishop Paprocki (in agreement with conscientious psychologists/health professionals) also makes it clear in his
Pastoral Guide https://www.dio.org/policy-book/77-650-gender-identity/file.html (3rd paragraph) that "transitioning"
is not what the Catholic Church could ever recommend, instead, love, support, listening, counseling and therapy
are needed.
--Sr. Helena
