American College of Pediatrics reaches decision: Transgenderism of children is child abuse
Bizpac Review ^ | March 25, 2016 | Michael Dorstewitz

Posted on 03/25/2016 7:00:26 PM PDT by kevcol

The American College of Pediatricians issued a statement this week condemning gender reclassification in children by stating that transgenderism in children amounts to child abuse.

"The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality."
.
.
The left, as one might expect, reacted swiftly with claws fully extended.

Think Progress described the American College of Pediatricians as a "hate group masquerading as pediatricians."

This point of common sense has left me temporarily undizzy.

I am quite astounded that they reached this decision. Good for them, I hope they have the courage they will need to bear the fallout.

Let’s pray every possible protection of God upon them. Unlike the psychs (who only get their minds dirty) they are not so easily hornswoggled.

Since when does it take a BS, MS, and a PHD in Pediatrics to realize what every normal person has always known.

When I referred to a “transgendered” person as having a Sexual Identity Disorder on the WaPo website, my comment was deleted by the admins within 2 minutes. They do not want the discussions to get anywhere near the scientific truth of what they are promoting.

Hopefully just the first step in restoring sanity to the greater medical community.

I wonder if Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt even care about that. Their daughter Shiloh wants to be called “John” and prefers to dress as a boy and they allow it. Are they just placating the child or are they engaging in child abuse? I believe it is the latter.

Seriously anyone who would allow a child to subject themselves to dangerous and unnecessary surgery and drugs simply to satisfied an Idea which they are not even old enough to understand. Is a child abuser.

Children do not understand sex and they will not understand it until after they have adult minds.

If you want to go down this dangerous road, you should at least be grown up enough to understand the risks and implications. Until then facts matter, children need to finish learning about the world as it is before they can make an informed judgement on how and even whether they should try to change it.

This is as true of sex as it should be of everything else. Stop the child abuses! Stop letting children destroy their lives with non-grownup experience and understanding!

It is child abuse.

Poor girl, if she never does learn to become comfortable with her sex, her life will be very much diminished by her learned desire to be something she is not. Particularly when purity comes along to confuse her further. She will never know the joys of having children of her own if their misguided mindset drives her to remove the parts she needs.

On the other hand if she does come to accept and love being a girl, she will be embarrassed and weakened by the childhood experience. If it happens after she makes consequential choices with surgery or drugs, she will be crippled for life.

Children are not old enough to make important choices, they do not understand the world as it is or even themselves, They won’t until they have adult minds and maybe not even after that for some of us. It is the job of parents to protect children not simply from the world but most of all from themselves until they reach that age in which they can protect themselves. This is called parenting. Brad Pitt and Angelina are doing a very big disservice for the children they have taken into their care.

You are correct. Children are too young to make those kind of choices about their gender. Shame on the parents who push it.

Facts are stubborn things. If you hate them or choose to believe they hate you. You are ignoring them not addressing them much less learning of them.

Some people never grow up to know the world as it is. Some people are instead raised to treat every one who says no to them as an enemy rather than acknowledge why they said no. Much less reevaluate their position upon better information and informed perspective.

Those who hate the truth really just hate themselves and all the world which refuses to repeat that which they have decided should be the truth.

Well life doesn’t work that way, and we are sorry they had such bad parents as not to teach them that simple fact while growing up. Now the rest of us have to figure out how to deal with these adult children.

It is child abuse, the very propose of parenting is to protect children from themselves and the world until such time that they are old and informed enough of that world and themselves to be able to protect themselves.

Surgery and drugs are extremely dangerous, if they don’t kill you they can and in this case will mane you for life.

In this respect letting a child make such a choice is no different than letting your child go play in the free way.

Children can’t understand how dangerous and consequential such choices are. Parents that allow children to make such choices are abusing them.
