Health Minister Mark Butler’s defence of chemicals which castrate gender-confused children only puts more pressure on families worried their kids are being indoctrinated at schools by radical LGBTIQA+ gender fluid ideology.
Asked about the New Zealand government becoming the latest to ban the use of puberty blockers on gender confused children, Mr Butler said the prescription of puberty blockers to children is “contested and evolving”.
Family First National Director Lyle Shelton said Mr Butler must explain to families what he knows about puberty blockers that the UK, US, Nordic countries and New Zealand governments don’t.
“Ever since Dr Hilary Cass’s review which led to the shutdown of the Tavistock child gender clinic in London, governments have been abandoning experimental gender treatments and surgeries on children.
“Australia remains an outlier and Liberal and Labor politicians must explain why they cling to LGBTIQA+ gender fluid ideology to inform child medicine. This is the biggest medical scandal of our time yet Australian politicians continue to fund child gender clinics throughout the nation injecting children with puberty blockers and referring for so-called and irreversible gender affirmation surgery.
“Mark Butler is being reckless with the lives of vulnerable children,” Mr Shelton said.
