Transgender Father Causes Devastating Harm to His 3-Year-Old Daughter with 'Gender Treatments' - Slay News
A 3-year-old girl has been tragically and irreversibly harmed by her transgender father’s “gender treatments.”
A shocking new study published by the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology reveals the dangerous and devastating effects of a transgender father’s hormone therapy on his young daughter.
The case study is titled “Peripheral Precocious Puberty due to Exogenous Estradiol in a 3-Year-Old Girl: A Case Report.”
It describes how the father’s decision to undergo “gender-affirming hormone therapy” (GAHT) triggered catastrophic physical changes in his daughter due to skin-to-skin contact with the hormone gel.
The transgender father, who had transitioned to living as a “woman,” began taking estradiol, a form of estrogen, to align with his gender identity.
However, as the study highlights, the hormone gel he applied to his skin daily began to have unintended consequences on his 3-year-old daughter through direct skin contact.
Over six months, the child began to experience signs of precocious puberty, including the early development of breasts.
The study underscores how estradiol, typically used to treat hypogonadism in girls, can cause sexual development when introduced externally, whether through food, environmental exposure, or medication.
However, the phenomenon remains poorly understood, with this being one of the rare documented cases.
The little girl’s tragic physical response to her father’s hormone therapy was marked by breast development and accelerated physical growth, far beyond her age.
As detailed in the report, the estradiol gel, which was applied to the father’s forearms, chest, abdomen, and thighs, caused severe changes in the child’s body.
“A physical examination of the girl revealed Tanner stage III for breast development,” the study explains.
Tanner stages are used to measure physical development during puberty, and the young girl was already showing advanced signs.
Ultrasound results indicated that the child’s uterus and endometrium were enlarged, further confirming the effects of the hormone exposure.
The study goes on to explain that once the father switched from the gel to a transdermal patch, the girl’s condition began to regress.
Her breast development reversed, and her growth velocity normalized.
This troubling case serves as a warning, with study authors cautioning that transgender individuals using estradiol gel should be aware of the potential for transmission of these hormones to others, particularly children.
The study urges individuals undergoing gender-affirming treatments to wash their hands, use gloves, and avoid skin-to-skin contact with children immediately after hormone application.
Children’s advocate Katy Faust condemned the father’s actions, noting the irreversible harm caused to his daughter.
“Dad decided he was trans, and ‘treatment’ included topical estrogen,” Faust stated.
“Skin-to-skin contact triggered early puberty in his 3-year-old daughter, who developed breasts.
“The fiction that he could change sex damaged his daughter’s body.”
This heartbreaking situation highlights the dangers of prioritizing the desires of transgender individuals over the well-being of vulnerable children.
While the father’s decision to undergo hormone therapy may have been his personal choice, it was the young child who bore the brunt of his actions.
The young girl suffered physical, emotional, and psychological consequences she couldn’t possibly comprehend at such a tender age.
The growing normalization of transgender treatments has already raised alarm among parents and medical professionals, but this case calls for immediate action.
Parents must be made aware of the risks of cross-gender hormone exposure in children, especially those who may be in close contact with someone undergoing hormone treatments.
The study calls for alternatives to be prescribed to transgender patients, particularly those with children, to prevent further harm.
As this disturbing case has revealed, it becomes even clearer that there are serious ethical and medical concerns about the growing trend of gender-affirming treatments and their consequences on children who are too young to fully understand the ramifications.
This must be a wake-up call for society as we consider the long-term effects of these medical decisions on the next generation.
