Pediatricians Call Youth Transgenderism 'Child Abuse'
PJ Media ^ | 5.21.16 | Tyler O'Neal

Posted on 05/22/2016 7:45:50 AM PDT by Boomer

The American College of Pediatricians reaffirmed the biological differences between men and women and condemned the idea of teaching kids early on that gender identity is fluid as "child abuse." In a preliminary statement released on Monday, the group of over 400 pediatricians nationwide listed eight points explaining their position scientifically.

Many people who are against the bathroom ordinance hold no animosity toward men who dress as women and women who dress as men.

I know and speak with a transgender person who now identifies as a woman. When I speak with him every sense I have tells me I'm talking with a man but he still thinks of himself as a woman. If it's this confusing for me; I can only imagine what it's like to live like that. It's purely mental on his part although he takes drugs to give himself boobs and less facial hair.

People like him are not who I am personally concerned with. He carries paperwork from a doctor to let whomever know he is transitioning from a man into a woman. He never did get his banana and plums cut off which tells me there's a line he won't cross.

Who does concern me is a predator male who can simply say he identifies as a woman even though he has clearly made no effort to do so and cannot provide any proof he is doing so. The biggest concern is law enforcement can't do anything by law to protect the vulnerable girls and women in the changing rooms, bathrooms, and locker rooms from these predators until they commit a crime instead of being proactive and preventing one in the first place.

As a conservative I'm against making lots of unnecessary laws but this directive from a lawless President demands we make strong laws so we can protect the vulnerable.

How long before the American College of Pediatricians suffers the fate of the American Psychological Association, either having the queers dominate their leadership or knuckling under to repeated assaults by them? Homosexuality was a mental illness until that happened. How soon will pedophilia become the new normal?

The American College of Pediatricians reaffirmed the biological differences between men and women and condemned the idea of teaching kids early on that gender identity is fluid as "child abuse."

And then there is this North London (Great Britain) "Gender Identity Development Service" Clinic that is part of the Tavistock Centre, who state that they have treated three children aged three in the last year. Mentioned in this was an individual named Poppy, now nine, who made the transition from a boy to a girl.

Note that no mention in the above is made about the 'nurturing' environment in the homes of these poor children! I have been wrong and will be again BUT I firmly believe that pre-pubescent children of not have the experience to make such a life decision!

This strongly reminds me of the US Epidemic (1980-90s) of the childcare sex abuse cases which relied so heavily on a dubious concept of repressed and recovered memories. In short is this gender identification on the part of the child or on the part of the proponent?

For decades those men have used the women’s bathroom with no problems. The men never cause any issues and it’s good they have a safe place to go.<

Correct. But, perversity being what it is, predators will take advantage of the push to let the opposite sex into restrooms, and especially into locker rooms. It is the directive to allow all, as long as they simply say they “identify” with the other sex, free access with no way for the actual females or males to protect themselves against staring, exhibitionism, and physical molestation.

Indecent exposure laws exist, but in today’s politically correct world, will they be enforced?

I have a sibling that is transgendered I love my sibling but it is a mental illness and should be treated as such...

I have a nephew (wife's sister's son) who seemed normal enough growing up, earned Eagle Scout (we attended his ceremony a couple of states away), who is now dressing as a girl. Other family members are offended when I refer to him as sick. So, we don't talk much.

I think we’ll soon see states passing laws against sex change surgery for minors. What would happen if you took your child to a surgeon and ask to have a boy’s fingers cut off? Hmmm? What is so different about cutting off a person’s hand, or penis?

A nephew and a daughter of a friend are homos. I just avoid them and avoid contact with others who are “sick.” It is a conscious choice of mine to avoid them as it is a conscious choice they made to “join the other team.” I avoided going to a reunion a few weeks ago because a male classmate and “her husband” were attending.
We are fed so much BS by those who support their weird ways and, sadly, so many idiots just accept the BS as truth.

That “Eagle Scout” would not be dressing in my home, he would be on his own, in his fantasy, ignored by all the family.

PCPOET7; I do not “have pity on this group”, I don’t care any more about their sex lives than I expect them to care about mine. Are they decent, law-abiding, productive members of the community? Great, why in God’s name should I care who they screw?

Obama is now the Child Abuser in Chief. I sure hope Hillary takes this position. I don’t think she’s that stupid.

This group is no right wing group

Actually, they are. There are at most a few hundred members of the American College of Pediatricians, as opposed to the many thousands of members of the American Academy of Pediatrics (which you and others here are obviously confusing them with). This group was formed in 2002 in opposition to adoption by gay couples, and it is anti-gay in its core beliefs. Not that there's anything wrong with that--its just that you should know this represents a rather small subset of pediatricians.

Brave move by these sane, compassionate physicians. I fear they will pay a heavy price for declaring the truth.

Watch though, the homos will figure out a way to call them “ignorant”, and “anti-science”, and just plain “haters” ! ;)
