With a woman at look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

This month, a Norwegian independent government agency declared that Norway's current standards

of so-called gender-affirming care need to change.

The report was published by the Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board, UConn.

They found that using puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones and surgeries to treat

gender dysphoria in young people, lack scientific basis and carries a high risk.

The board called for any future standards of treatment to be based on a systematic review

of existing research as well as included multidisciplinary approach.

You come's findings are important for three reasons.

First, Norway has now joined a growing list of European countries pumping the brakes

on harmful treatment of gender dysphoria.

Second, these findings only further confirm what we already should know.

That chemical and surgical so-called gender-affirming interventions are experimental, not based on

evidence.

And third, and above all, what's happened in Norway should make us commit here and

again to protect children's God-given bodies and to purge medicine of destructive gender

ideology.
