Criminal quackery.
Why not just prescribe heroin or oxy to these children?
These drugs will help the kids “ feel better” too.
Co-signing bull crap
Lots of pediatricians are leftist thugs. Do not trust them.
WHen I first read the phrase “gender-affirming” health care, I thought they had come to their senses and were realizing that the initial treatment has to at least TRY to help these troubled kids become comfortable with their biological bodies.
Because we are killing kids by just blindly assuming any feelings they have are concrete truth, when we know that a lot of kids will at some point have a crisis of identity, and that a vast majority of these cases the crisis passes.
Anytime “discrimination” and “stigma” is injected into a medical discussion, you can pretty much throw that organization’s credentials in the trash. They are no longer a medical association.
“affirmative care” = preferential treatment - set in a class above others
Why is this only being pushed in western countries?
This will not end well.
“Transgendered” pediatric patients shouldn’t exist as a category. Gender confused children, sure. They exist - see what unfolds as they get older. Questioning sexual identity, sure. They exist - see what unfolds.
But to allow CHILDREN to “lock in” to a lifetime of living as their non-biological gender - and to give them nothing but affirmation - seems like negligence/malpractice. What if they would otherwise change their mind in the absence of affirmation and pressure to now stay in their “trangendered” state? Life is a hell of a lot easier if you live it in the gender corresponding to your equipment. Go figure.
You don’t need a pediatrician. We’ve always taken our children to a general practitioner.
It’s up to the actual parents to veto these quacks and what they want to do to children. Sadly these kids no longer have a check from ‘the system’ should their own parents be nuts.
contrary to nature - we were created male or female, and the creation is at the moment of conception - and that’s a fact.
For a human to decide male or female is for that human to be playing God. Instead that human is playing the part of a demon, IMO.
In other words, special privileges and a declaration of sanity for the insane individuals who lop off their schmeckels.

You mean like Seth Rich?
English has perfectly good words to describe what’s going on.
It’s not “pre-surgical transgender woman”, it’s “transvestite”.
It’s not “post-surgical transgender woman”, it’s “eunuch”.
It’s not “plastic surgery to create a faux vagina, breast implants, and hormone therapy”, it’s “vacation home in Aruba”.
Odd. I would not have guessed that affirming delusions would be a positive for mental health.
They went over to the dark side years ago.
Per European studies where this mental illness has long been “supported” and “transitioning” long endorsed, the suicide rate of those who do have surgery and those who don’t is similar. Suicide rates before and after surgery are similar.
In short, “transitioning” doesn’t reduce their odds of killing themselves.
But failure to actually treat the underlying mental illness DOES account for that.
It’s not nice to mess with Mother Nature. They will live to regret it with an even greater rate of unhappiness and online recriminations when these children grow up and realize they were the victims of a medically weaponized fad.
