Another organization has spoken out about the dangers of the transgender ideology being pushed by Democrats and other leftists in America.

Joe Biden was a prominent advocate of the agenda, pushing it even onto children and insisting they be given chemicals and even body-mutilating surgeries in failed attempts to turn a boy into a girl or vice versa.

It seems that to go trans is to go stupid.

Or at least stupider.

The warning comes from a group called StatsForGender.org, which confirms it uses statistics from sources "selected for their reliability."

"We mostly use peer-reviewed papers; however, we occasionally refer to government-commissioned studies, authoritative bodies' submissions to governmental commissions, published books, or doctoral theses. In a few cases, we provide references for the purpose of debunking unreliable data," the organization explains.

"As this is an emerging field of research, the information on this page may develop over time. Statistics for the transgender population are often difficult to quantify as different definitions are used to describe the term 'transgender,' Our focus is to underpin the statements we provide with sound research. We know that these statements cannot comprehensively cover every topic; however, this initiative is intended to bring some much-needed clarity to this area of study. Stats For Gender is powered by Genspect, an organization that advocates for a non-medicalized approach to gender dysphoria."

One of its cited sources confirmed that girls "treated with puberty blockers for central precocious puberty showed that IQ fell by around eight points."

"The average fell from 102 (55th percentile) to 94 (34th percentile). Two patients were held back a year at school," the organization documented.

"In another study of 30 children experiencing early puberty and treated with puberty blockers, IQ fell by around seven points."

The injury isn't limited to girls, either.

"A case study of a male patient whose puberty was blocked at age 11 showed a decline in several measurements of intelligence over the following three years, including decline of 10 points in global IQ and 15 points in verbal comprehension," the organization reported. "Verbal comprehension showed a continuous decline. Other measurements showed some improvement after an initial decline, but never recovered to baseline levels. Processing speed index scores initially improved, but then fell below baseline."

The organization reported:

Many parents of gender-questioning children are presented with statistics that make transitioning seem ideal while portraying any more cautious approach as abusive or dangerous. When children request puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, parents often find themselves diving into scientific research, trying to distinguish fact from fiction.

Teachers, journalists, politicians, and other decision-makers are frequently confronted with data that suggests there is only one viable option. However, many remain skeptical of the rapid push towards transition. They reflect on individuals they know who were gender-non-conforming in their youth and wonder what might have happened if they had grown up in today's environment, where gender expression is so heavily emphasized.

The lack of a single, user-friendly resource for reliable gender statistics has been a challenge for both parents and professionals. That's why Genspect created Stats For Gender.

We believe the public deserves access to reliable data, organized intuitively and presented in clear, jargon-free language. Our goal is to provide those questioning their gender with full access to the facts, while also helping their families, friends, and loved ones to see the bigger picture."
The organization also cited studies revealing that "animal studies suggest puberty blockers may impair brain development, sometimes irrevocably," as well as one noting that nearly one-third (31%) of women taking puberty blockers reported "mild" memory problems, 25% had "moderate" memory issues and 19% had "marked" problems.
