Beginning in the 1960s, there was a massive effort to shut down state psychiatric institutions in which people with mild to severe mental illnesses were housed. The reckless treatments and abuse these patients experienced in these facilities were well documented: They were more often than not put on sedatives and antipsychotic medicines that turned them into mindless zombies, and those who tried to resist risked being lobotomized.
Though there is much debate over whether abandoning these institutions altogether was really the right solution, there is no question at all that the form of “care” provided by asylums was abominable and that it did immense harm to the medical industry’s reputation, to say nothing of the patients who were forced to undergo it.
There is no difference in my mind between insane asylums of the past and today’s “gender clinics,” where impressionable and confused children are being sterilized and mutilated routinely. MORE AT 'Gender-affirming care' is the new lobotomy (washingtonexaminer.com)
