Family First welcomes pause on plying children with cross-sex hormones

Family First 2 mins read

After years of fighting to protect children from experimental gender treatments, Family First welcomes the Queensland government’s belated decision to pause the use of dangerous cross sex hormones on children.

The move came after a clinic in Cairns was found to allegedly be prescribing cross-sex hormones to 12-year-olds without parental consent, Family First’s lead Queensland Senate candidate Katie Lush said.

“The evidence against the harm child gender clinics have been causing to gender confused children has been overwhelming for years,” Ms Lush said.

“It’s a scandal that it has taken this long for at least one Australian government to act.”

Ms Lush said it was well-known that Australian gender clinics prescribed harmful puberty blockers to children as young as 10 and that so-called ‘Safe Schools’ material had urged children to have gender surgery ‘with or without parental consent’.

“What is happening to gender-confused children is the biggest medical scandal since Thalidomide.”

Ms Lush called on all Australian state governments to go further and follow the UK’s lead and ban puberty blockers and mutilating gender surgery on children.

“For too long Liberal and Labor governments have ignored the overseas evidence from eminent psychologists like Dr Hilary Cass whose work has led to the cessation of experimental gender treatments on children.

“Here in Australia brave whistle blowers like child psychiatrist Dr Jillian Spencer have lost their jobs. She should be reinstated to her role at the Queensland Children’s Hospital immediately and be paid compensation.

“It’s time for politicians to pull their heads out of the sand.”

LGBTIQA+ political activists have driven medical protocols for too long based on the lie that gender is fluid.

Ms Lush called on all Australian political leaders to implement policy which recognises the truth that there are only two genders.

“The Queensland LNP’s move today makes it harder for Peter Dutton to sustain his opposition to restoring gender sanity.”

Family First’s Senate team, which also includes Lyle Shelton (NSW), Bernie Finn (Vic), Elizabeth Kikkert (ACT) and Christopher Brohier (SA) is fighting to restore two genders in public policy in Australia.

Beachgoers have come out in strong support for Professional Lifeguards, signing a petition in mass numbers to advocate for an increase in their wages.
