The Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) welcomes the bravery and common-sense of election candidates who are publicly saying what the silent majority have always thought.
Western Australia ACL Director, Jacob Hill, states:
“The ‘Gender Experiment’ results are in and common sense is making a welcome comeback as people are saying, ‘The emperor has no clothes!’*.
“Western Australians have had an open mind and patiently considered the claims that we saved lives by affirming gender confused children’s belief that they are born into the wrong body. But the evidence now clearly shows that sex-change procedures like giving young people puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones do not reduce the risk of suicide, but in many cases, the medical intervention causes irreversible lifetime physical damage and damage and worsens their already present mental health challenges.
Concerningly, the fact that many people ‘detransition’ after receiving sex-change treatment is swept under the rug, clearly demonstrates that this experiment is actually an ideological agenda driven by activists who have no interest in the facts.
Knowing that one of the big four insurance companies no longer insures doctors for sex-change procedures due to this evidence should raise massive alarm bells for our government. We simply must follow the lead of the global medical community who are well ahead of Australia in this gender experiment. Countries including Finland, Norway, Sweden, Italy, the UK and the US are in agreement that psychotherapy and the “wait and see” approach must be the course of action taken.”
Mr Hill cautions that as Labor and Greens continue to ignore the evidence, they are not only potentially causing more irreversible damage to our children, but they are also potentially exposing our health system to serious legal and financial liability ramifications, as we are already seeing globally.
