The American College of Pediatricians issued a position statement last month entitled “Gender Ideology Harms Children,” which will be followed by a peer-reviewed statement on the subject that’s expected to be released by summer, the college told CNSNews.com.
“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,” the statement issued on Feb. 2 stated. “Facts – not ideology – determine reality.”
The statement – written by Dr. Michelle A. Cretella, president of the American College of Pediatricians, Dr. Quentin Van Meter, vice president of the American College of Pediatricians and a pediatric endocrinologist, and Dr. Paul McHugh, university distinguished service professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical School and the former psychiatrist in chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital – cites eight reasons why “gender ideology” instead of treatment based on biological facts is harmful to children.

The Pink Mafia sure aint gonna like this one. The writers of this study should scrub all contact info from their facebook and twitters asap, lest they be stalked and visited by one of these ‘happy’ warriors of intolerance.
If I see a few dozen more articles like this, I may have to update my tagline.
Donald Trump should take credit for people now being brave enough to admit reality.
Brother have you got that right. There will be a shirt storm coming down on this organization like they cannot anticipate. Gays were incredibly focused on getting gay marriage, but its not like they disbanded their legal armies after attaining that, they are just refocusing the effort into the broader spectrum of LGBT issues, and this gender identity formation matter is going to catch their attention.
It’s about time. The only shame is that we have to have doctors tell us the obvious.
These folks will need bodyguards.
Someone actually stood up for children.
It’s “the emperors new ideology”, and as in the fable, it is the very young who will call it out, as I have personally experienced.
I'm glad to see it even though like other posters said in so many words, they will be silenced.
Will wonders never cease! A professional organization in post civilizational America that puts truth above PC.

Gender Ideology... I anticipated criticism of the dad that plays catch with his son...
Anyway, glad to hear the 5 percenters are still putting fact before fiction.
you know what the leading cause of death of people under the age of 20?
Suicide
You know who commits the most suicides?
Transgender
Transgender is a mental disorder, not something that should be celebrated. We don’t celebrate pedophiles, why should we celebrate transgender?
Yeah we do...queers.
why should we celebrate transgender?
Just a different kind of queer. Shouldn't celebrate them either.
If there’s one thing we can count on today, it isn’t that the right thing will be done for our children but rather the wrong thing. Doubtless our growing legion of narcissistic red queens will very quickly be heard shrieking: Off with their heads of the homophobes!
I have a sister with the disorder and the political activists are crazy they live in echo chamber telling each other that they got to mutilate there body.
That generalization is going to offend the anti-science left as much as the particular rejection of "transgender" nonsense.
But, but, but...
Wow, some pushback to the gender insanity that has seemingly enveloped the nation
Good to see.
Parents refuse to parent...giving guidance to their child. It is a form of child abuse. Most of these parents are LIB idiots shirking their responsibility. Eventually ther children will hate them.
Whatever went around will come around.
If the grace of God keeps us around, we will start to see a pushback.
