‘Leo was little when she wanted to become a he,’ says Natalie. ‘I thought if this was his wish, I should agree with it. Everyone said Leo was brave to come out [as transgender] and I should be proud of him.’
Thinking she was doing the best for him, Natalie took Leo to one of the best hospitals in Europe where, at 11, doctors tried to make his wish come true.
They put him on hormones to stop his body developing into womanhood, with breasts, widening hips and periods. It was the beginning of a frantic course of treatment to make him a man.
Today, the teenager is at the heart of a worldwide debate over one of the most contentious medical issues of our times: giving puberty blockers to children.
A groundbreaking investigation by the state-run television channel has revealed he is one of 13 transgender children of the 440 treated by the country’s famous Karolinska University Hospital who are known to have suffered catastrophic injuries as a result.
Their ailments include liver damage, unexplained weight gains of up to two stone, mental health problems, and — in Leo’s case — skeletal damage and a failure to grow as tall as he should.
He has spinal fractures and a condition called osteopenia, which weakens the bones, making them more liable to break. It is a disease that you often see in people aged 60 or 70 and is almost impossible to reverse.

ahh yes early osteo is all the rage in the trans community. "if you have not broke your hip by 25 then you ain't trans."
Makes perfect sense. When estrogen is blocked in breast cancer treatment in adult women, they end up on drugs to remineralize their bones.
Also why women tend to be higher risk for osteo during menopause.
"Everyone said Leo was brave to come out [as transgender] and I should be proud of him."
How sad. She needs new friends. There is always a price to pay when you mess with God's perfection.
When Leo was little, Leo also likely believed there is some fat guy in a red suit that flies around in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and delivers toys all over the world on one night a year without anyone seeing him.
Obviously anyone taking them is not rational, or being forced to by one that's not rational.
When you look at all the potential side effects of any product from big pharma I don't see how anyone can think that it's a good idea.
They poison the mind first so they can then poison the body.
That is how powerful brainwashing can be.
I have never met a tranny with a confident and right frame of mind. Their minds are full of doubt and uncertainty.
Sad to watch how they are psychologically attacked with psy ops but it is a clear warning to all of us that this is purposeful and not an accident.
"my boner doesn't work. I should chop it off." said no sane person. Ever.
This is why so many trans people are so huge.
Those "parents" should be beaten into a coma.
Any actual medical professionals know this is wrong and a serious long term issue, if you see a medical professional that believes in this nonsense run away
Wouldn't your pituitary gland (from birth) dictate your future bone length and a bunch of other important stuff? Would stand to reason, mess with that formula and you have problems.
