a new study It was released this month looking at teenagers in Finland from 1996-2019 who “contacted specific gender identity services.” The results are no surprise to those who understand God’s very good plan regarding male and female: Children who “transition” to the opposite sex suffer terrible mental health consequences (not to mention the physical problems associated with these hormones and surgery!).
The study looked at all “gender-referenced individuals” under the age of 23 in Finland between 1996 and 2019 (2,083 individuals) and 16,643 matched controls. And what did they get? What they say about the study results:
Gender-referred adolescents showed significantly higher mental morbidity than controls both before (45.7% vs. 15.0%) and 2 years after referral (61.7% vs. 14.6%). Those referred after 2010 had greater psychosocial needs than earlier groups both before referral (47.9% vs 15.3%) and ≥ 2 years after referral (61.3% vs 14.2%). Among adolescents undergoing medical gender reassignment, mental morbidity increased significantly during follow-up—increasing from 9.8% to 60.7% in female gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in male gender reassignment.
Those are extremely high numbers. “Psychiatric morbidity” (mental health/illness issues) increased From 10% to 61% for boys and 22% to 55% for girls who underwent these “treatments” (many of which are irreversible – and others often leave long-term side effects)! The study concluded:
Serious mental illness is common among gender-referred adolescents and appears to be more prevalent among referred adolescents following a recent increase in referrals. Psychiatric needs do not diminish after medical gender reassignment.
Despite such studies, worried and vulnerable parents are asked by these “gender reassignment” doctors or therapists, often in front of their children, “Do you want a dead daughter or a living son?” Parents are warned that if they do not expose their child to life-changing hormones and body-distorting surgeries, their child’s mental health will deteriorate to the point of suicide. are they are not doing It has been reported that studies show that medically “transitioning” a child does not work!
They need help in accepting the body God has given them and living according to God’s plan.
And this is no surprise. That child is actively living in opposition to God’s plan as a man or woman. There is no such thing as a “transgender” child. There are kids who are confused about their bodies, and they don’t need to mutilate their bodies – they need help accepting that body. God gave them and lived accordingly Goddesign of.
Sexuality and gender was the topic of our recent post-conference for women at the Ark Encounter. Nearly 3,000 women were equipped on this topic, and we heard rave reviews – they were so grateful for the Bible-based teaching and encouraging testimonials. Conference sessions will soon be available on the AIG streaming platform, Answer TV (in about 60 days), so I encourage you to subscribe so you can be equipped and strengthened.
Over 2,000 women have already registered for next year’s Answers for Women, Steadfast: Unwavering Faith for Fearful Times, featuring myself and Dr. Georgia Purdom, as well as Ruth Chow Simmons, Heidi St. John, Abby Halberstadt, Susan Heck, and many others — and a concert from the Gettys. You can again choose between duplicate weekday and weekend conferences (April 5-7, 2027 and April 8-10, 2027) that will be held at Ark Encounter. Early bird pricing is now available, so be sure to register before it sells out! (Registration includes 5 days of admission Construction Museum and Ark Encounter.)
Yes, God’s Word is true on everything it talks about, including gender—and science continues to confirm it.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
