It’s one thing when adults experiencing gender dysphoria decide to “transition” to live as the other gender through hormone treatments, operations and makeovers. But what happens when kids say they’re transgender and think they’re ready for hormones that will disrupt their normal growth?
Michelle Cretella, president of the American College of Pediatricians, spent 17 years as a general pediatrician with a focus on child behavioral health. She talked about gender dysphoria on today’s show to explain what being dosed with hormones does to kids who aren’t old enough to know their own minds yet.
Schools are starting to teach students from a young age that they can easily switch from one gender to the other.
“It is outrageous; it is terrifying for these young children; it’s a lie,” Cretella said.
Here are more facets of the debate covered in this clip:
Why denying the existence of gender is truly anti-science What hormone treatments do to kids’ bodies Why allowing kids to go through normal, healthy puberty is the best option How we can actually help children experiencing gender dysphoria

Liberal rational. Global Warming is real. Gender isn’t.
It blows my mind when parents encourage their young children and assist them when they are not even old enough to really understand sex at all.
I read somewhere that the suicide rate for transgenders is horrendous - something like 40% - after they have surgery to “trans” them into their selected gender. It’s a form of child abuse to try to make children decide what gender they are before they even knows what “gender” is.
Trendy, attention-whore parents.
If they survive the gender remorse, what will happen to them as they reach maturity? The meds used in these procedures have some nasty carcinogenic properties. What impact will pumping them up with more testosterone and/or estrogen than their bodies were NATURALLY designed to handle? It would not surprise me in the least if 10-15 yrs from now there will be one of those smarmy “very special Lifetime presentations”, “Remembering Jazz”. It will focus on a “brave” adolescent “tearing down barriers”, instead of how this lost soul succumbed to cancer, cardiac arrest or other life threatening conditions directly attributed to the “sex reassignment” surgeries and therapies because her enabling family were seduced by quack therapists into thinking they were being “HIP”. I envision a wave of class actions brought on by the “frozen vegetables” or their surviving family members against the Dr., hospitals and the eeeevil BIG PHARMA. Sure they, or their parents were made well aware of the risks involved, but smokers were made aware of the dangers of tobacco use for over 50 yrs, that didn’t stop those lawsuits. Hey, why shouldn’t the trannies get a piece of the action? And they’ll be represented by the same shysters who are currently fighting for tranny rights, what a racket!

From the first article:
"Dr. McHugh, the author of six books and at least 125 peer-reviewed medical articles, made his remarks in a recent commentary in the Wall Street Journal, where he explained that transgender surgery is not the solution for people who suffer a "disorder of 'assumption'" – the notion that their maleness or femaleness is different than what nature assigned to them biologically."
"He also reported on a new study showing that the suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people. Dr. McHugh further noted studies from Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom, over time, 70%-80% "spontaneously lost those feelings."
"While the Obama administration, Hollywood, and major media such as Time magazine promote transgenderism as normal, said Dr. McHugh, these "policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention."
Another Thanks Obama. Obama behind the big transgender push during his term.
My daughter came out as transgendered. Great kid, straight A student, funny, pretty, kind, and talented. It’s been challenging, but we are surrounding her with love and prayers that God can guide her path. Even she thinks that parents who give hormone therapy to kids are wrong. She calls them trans-trenders. She won’t even consider transitioning until after college.
Not all trans are SJW wackos. She aligns conservative on everything but this issue and won a debate match destroying Clinton’s candidacy. Pray for trans kids. They need it.

Great comment from the comment section....
“There are only two genders, our chromosomes dictate that, we know that our brains can and do lie to us…that is how hypnotists and con artists flourish. It then stands to reason that if your brain is telling you that you are a different gender than you body is programmed to be, then you have a malfunctioning brain that needs treatment, not society helping you deepen your delusion.”

Sex refers to Male and Female.
Gender refers to Masculine, Feminine, and Neutral and usually but not always corresponds with Sex when applied to people and animals. In many languages gender is also a applied to all nouns whether they relate to sex or not.
They are sexualizing and sterilizing kids at an early age. Is anyone really surprised leftists came up with this evil garbage?
Love your kid unconditionally, it’s all you can do.
Prayers for you and your entire family.
