NBC News acts as megaphone for child sex change advocacy group

"Gender-affirming hormone therapy is strongly linked to a lower risk of suicide and depression for transgender youths, according to the first large-scale study to examine the issue," reads the report, citing a recent entry into the Journal of Adolescent Health- based on an online survey conducted last year by an organization called The Trevor Project which NBC identifies as only an "LGBTQ youth suicide prevention and crisis intervention group."

Even more notable is the fact that what NBC calls an "LGBTQ youth suicide prevention and crisis intervention group" is a transgender policy advocacy group that proudly states that it seeks to "Change hearts, minds and laws" in favor of its progressive agenda.

The Trevor Project carefully defines this as "Treatments that postpone physical changes as well as treatments that lead to changes that would affirm one's gender identity," but the term is commonly used to describe puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and sex change operations.

Another Trevor Project guide, titled A Guide to Being an Ally to Transgender and Nonbinary Youth, explains that "Someone's sex characteristics are their personal information, and you do not need to know someone's sex assigned at birth to be respectful of their gender identity.

NBC goes on to adopt the Project's advocacy language, explaining that "More than 20 states have considered bills aiming to ban gender-affirming health care for transgender minors this year alone.

"Though more research is finding that access to gender-affirming health care such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy is beneficial to trans youths' mental health and overall well-being, not all who want it are able to access it," reports NBC before suggesting that parents need to support their children's desire to physically alter their secondary sexual characteristics - lest they be led to kill themselves, noting that this "Access" is greatly dependent on "Whether a youth has parental support."

As a footnote to the article, buried at the bottom of the page, NBC News is forced to acknowledge that half of the Trevor Project's online survey respondents "Said they were not receiving gender-affirming hormone therapy but would like to," and 14 percent were already receiving it.
