A court case has finally challenged the gender ideologues and their medical experiments on children.

The case centred on a 12-year-old boy in Melbourne , who, with the encouragement of his mother, sought to be administered puberty blockers on the grounds that his true’ gender is that of a girl.

Judge Andrew Strum found himself in the unenviable position of adjudicating this squalid family dispute.

In his judgement, he decided to strip the mother of custody and heavily criticised the hospital at which the boy was treated.

This is the first time trans orthodoxy has ever been challenged in the Australian legal system.

Every time puberty blockers and hormone therapy’ have been subject to analysis, they’ve been exposed as dodgy and harmful.

People and institutions that promoted these so-called treatments need to be held to account.

There are signs this might happen sooner rather than later.
