So much for the latest buzzword "evidence based medicine."

In its infancy.
Responsible doctors admit it, up front. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, except pretending it’s “settled science.”

i’m beyond impressed some European countries are backtracking.

There is one single organization most responsible for pushing transgenderism into the mainstream.
Most people don't know anything about this organization, or even that it exists.
Today we change that.

TACOMA, Wash. – On behalf of a Washington state couple who wishes to continue to serve as foster parents, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed a federal lawsuit Friday against state officials who refused to renew the couple’s foster-care license because of their common-sense and religiously inspired view that people can’t change their sex.

In August 2022, Shane and Jennifer DeGross worked with foster-care licensing agency Olive Crest to renew their license to provide a home to vulnerable children. The agency informed them that the Washington Department of Children, Youth, and Families enacted new regulations that require all foster parents to use a foster child’s inaccurate pronouns based on their perceived gender identity, not their actual sex. The regulations also require that parents take children to cultural events like pride parades. Because of their Christian faith, the DeGrosses told Olive Crest they would love and support any child placed in their home but could not lie to a child about who they are or encourage a child to reject their sex. DCYF officials then denied their application, even after Olive Crest made more than one attempt to appeal the denial.

“Washington state officials are putting their own ideological agenda ahead of children who just need a loving home. Despite the DeGrosses’ faithful service as foster parents for nine years, the state disqualified them simply for having views that Washington does not like,” said ADF Legal Counsel Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse. “As a federal court has already affirmed in Blais v. Hunter, this exclusion is unconstitutional—religious beliefs about human sexuality are not a legitimate or constitutional reason to categorically bar citizens from helping children. Washington is putting families like the DeGrosses to an impossible choice: speak against your faith and lie or give up the opportunity to care for hurting children. That is illegal and wrong.”

Inspired by the biblical command to care for widows and orphans, the DeGrosses served as loving foster parents to several children for just over nine years. They cared for four children, including two young girls whom they cared for for eighteen months and two years respectively. When they sought to renew their license, the DeGrosses hoped to serve as respite-care providers —those who can act as a stopgap for children without a stable home. In its appeal to the state, Olive Crest said of Shane and Jennifer that they “have a heart for serving children in [their] community” and their “faithful ministry to children in Washington has been a blessing.”

During the renewal process, Olive Crest informed the DeGrosses about Washington’s new gender-identity mandate and how other families were also faced with a “personal decision” to comply or walk away from serving children in need. Confronted with the state’s new rules, the DeGrosses affirmed that they would “love and support any child who is placed in [their] home,” but could not speak or promote views contrary to their faith. Olive Crest submitted their application to the State and sought an exemption from the regulations on pronouns, adding that the DeGrosses are a “very loving and gracious couple who truly desire to support other foster families.” The Department, however, was unwilling to renew their license. ..

And make no mistake: eventually they don't want any parents or family to be able to keep their children unless they agree to teach their children to promote homosexuality and transsexuality. And some of the people with these radical, perverted beliefs are even on MennoNet.

Yes. Oregon DHS is afflicted with the same problem.
Ideological perversion over solution.
Keep kids in expensive hotel rooms and socially isolated instead of putting them in good homes.
