UK psychology community takes responsibility
A group of senior clinical psychologists have apologised for the role their profession played in the promotion of transgender ‘medical’ treatments to children in the UK following a damning report which found that such interventions were done on “shaky foundations”.Personally, I think even advocates of certain religious customs should also take responsibility, since, as I may have argued before, there's certain customs and practices that can cause homosexuality for starters, and transsexuality next. Did it ever occur to those who advocate for abstinence because pre-marital sex is somehow literally the worst thing that could happen, and who believed women must dress modestly or worse, and that men shouldn't look at or talk to women, if at all (or even vice versa), were leading to a stealth effect on men's mindsets that led in turn to the horrible situation we have now?
In a joint letter published by the left-wing Guardian’s sister paper The Observer, 16 unnamed “senior clinical psychologists”, including some who actually worked in the now-discredited Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) clinics that prescribed hundreds of children life-altering puberty-blocking drugs, said that their profession led the way in pushing children into such a direction.
“These were psychology-led services. Whether intentionally or not, and many were doing their best in an impossible situation, it was clinical psychologists who promoted an ideology that was almost impossible to challenge,” they wrote.
“It is also our professional body, the British Psychological Society, that has failed (despite years of pressure) to produce guidelines for clinicians working with young people in this complex area; and that, forced into making an official response for the first time, now minimises its own role in events and calls for ‘more psychology’ as the answer. We are ashamed of the role psychology has played,” the group added.
They said that what occurred at GIDS clinics was a “multi-factorial systemic failure” but said that those within the psychology profession should be “fully examined” and held accountable for the role they played, noting that many “failed to carry out proper assessments of troubled young people, and thus put many on an ‘irreversible medical pathway’ that in most cases was inappropriate; and who failed in their most basic duty to keep proper records.”
Anyway, this admittal to failure by UK psychologists is certainly saying a lot more than the USA industry is at the moment, and will hopefully help stop the transsexual crisis, but even then, they left much horrific damage behind, and whole generations will doubtless pay a heavy price as a result. "Protected class" statuses are some of the worst things that can happen.
