He pointed out that major medical associations have endorsed these procedures \u200cwithout sufficient evidence of \u2064their\u200b long-term effects, and anyone questioning this is immediately labeled as transphobic.<\/p>\n<p>McGraw also\u200b highlighted that several\u2063 European countries have reversed their stance \u2064on transgender issues \u200cdue to the recognized harm it causes to children. He expressed \u2063shock\u2063 at \u2064the medical \u2063organizations that have given \u2062in to pressure\u200b and endorsed these procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, McGraw raised concerns about the actions of some\u200b teachers in American \u200bpublic schools, who\u2064 he believes are undermining the \u2063parent-child relationship. He argued \u2062that teachers, lacking expertise in psychology\u2063 or\u2064 medicine, are \u2062not qualified to handle psychological or medical issues like gender dysphoria. He emphasized the importance of involving professionals trained \u2063in child psychology, psychiatry,\u2063 or medicine in \u2064such cases.<\/p>\n<p>McGraw \u200band Rogan\u2062 discussed the vulnerability of children and their susceptibility to manipulation. They drew \u200bparallels to \u200chow Islamic \u200dterrorists exploit young children&#8217;s \u200dgullibility \u2062to turn them \u200binto suicide\u200d bombers. \u200dRogan emphasized \u200dthat\u200c children can be convinced of almost anything, including their gender identity, especially\u200c when \u2062reinforced with love and support.<\/p>\n<p>McGraw firmly stated that\u2064 the \u200btransgender issue \u200dis not appropriate\u2063 or \u2064safe\u2062 for children,\u2064 and those claiming that \u200dthe\u200b effects\u200b of transgender procedures are reversible are\u200d lying. He \u200cattributed a significant portion of the rise in transgender identification among young people to social media platforms and the internet, suggesting a\u200b social contagion effect. He expressed concern\u2064 for those\u2062 who undergo irreversible procedures due to temporary trends \u2064and believes there are\u200b more detransitioners than reported.<\/p>\n<p>Overall,\u200c Dr. Phil McGraw&#8217;s interview\u200d sheds\u200b light on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/class-action-settlement-deadline-for-batiste-dry-shampoo-customers-to-file-claim-in-2-5-million-settlement-in-one-day\/\" title=\"Class-action settlement: Deadline for Batiste Dry Shampoo customers to file claim in .5 million settlement in one day\">potential\u2062 harm caused<\/a> \u2062by pushing children towards transgenderism and the influence of social media on this issue.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch the interview here:<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: Joe Rogan \u2063and Dr. Phil on hormone therapy &#038; sex reassignment surgery \u200cfor \u200bkids: <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They choose words like &#8216;gender-affirming care,&#8217; but really what they&#8217;re talking about is\u200c hormonal therapy \u200cor sexual reassignment \u200bsurgery on children.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kljLlMbFA1\">pic.twitter.com\/kljLlMbFA1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) \u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveGuest\/status\/1760111874970951842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 21, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2063What research is needed to understand the effects of social media on children&#8217;s perceptions of gender\u200d identity?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Rgued that teachers should not be the\u200b ones making decisions about\u200d a child&#8217;s \u200dgender\u2063 identity, as this is a personal and delicate matter that should be handled by the child&#8217;s family and healthcare professionals. He emphasized\u200d the importance of parental consent and involvement in\u200b any decisions regarding medical interventions and treatments for transgender \u200bchildren.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to criticizing authority figures, McGraw also\u200d spoke out against the influence \u2062of social media in promoting transgenderism \u200damong\u2063 children.\u200d He asserted that the constant\u200c exposure to content about transgender issues can lead\u2063 to a &#8220;social contagion,&#8221; \u200cwhere \u200bvulnerable children may feel compelled to \u2062identify as transgender even if they may not truly be experiencing gender dysphoria. \u200dHe called for more research into the effects of social media on children&#8217;s perceptions of gender identity \u200dand for greater parental control over\u200b their \u200cchildren&#8217;s online\u200d activities.<\/p>\n<p>McGraw&#8217;s comments have sparked \u2064a heated debate within the public sphere. Supporters argue that his concerns are \u200dvalid, as \u200bthe long-term effects of hormonal therapy and\u200d sex reassignment surgery on children are still not fully understood, and caution should be exercised \u200dbefore endorsing such\u2063 procedures. They\u2064 also agree that parental consent should \u200cbe a primary consideration \u2064in any \u2062decisions regarding \u200ba child&#8217;s gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand,\u2062 critics argue\u200d that McGraw&#8217;s views are antiquated and \u200cignore the experiences of transgender individuals. They argue that promoting transgender acceptance and providing appropriate care for transgender \u200bchildren \u2063is crucial for their mental well-being and overall \u2064quality\u2064 of life. They \u2062assert that medical professionals and educators play a vital role in ensuring\u2064 that transgender children receive \u2063the support and care they need to navigate their gender\u2064 identity.<\/p>\n<p>As the discussion around transgender issues\u2064 continues to evolve, it is important to consider the perspectives of all stakeholders involved\u200c &#8211; including\u2064 medical professionals, educators, parents, and transgender individuals themselves.
