The American College of Pediatricians has released an in-depth report stating that the move to indoctrinate children with the idea that they can pick their gender amounts to child abuse.
They are urging legislators and educators to reject all policies that would condition children to accept chemical and surgical distortions allowing people to impersonate the opposite sex.
Some of the points made in their report include the following:
Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait. “XY” and “XX” chromosomes are genetic markers, not a disorder.
No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender is a psychological concept, not an objective biological one.
A person thinking he or she is something they are not, at best, is a sign of confusion.
Puberty is not a disease and puberty-blocking hormones can be dangerous.
When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such.
People who identify as “feeling like the opposite sex” or “somewhere in between” do not comprise a third sex. They remain biological men or biological women. 98 percent of gender confused boys and 88 percent of gender confused girls accept their biological sex after puberty without any counseling.
Those who use cross-sex hormones or undergo sex surgeries even in the most LGBTQ affirming countries still have suicide rates 20 times higher than the general public.
Conditioning children into a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex amounts to child abuse.
Endorsing gender discordance as normal via public education and legal policies will confuse children and parents, leading more children to present to “gender clinics” where they will be given puberty-blocking drugs. This, in turn, virtually ensures that they will “choose” a lifetime of carcinogenic and otherwise toxic cross-sex hormones, and likely consider unnecessary surgical mutilation of their healthy body parts as young adults.
Cross-sex hormones are associated with dangerous health risks including but not limited to high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke and cancer.
FYI ping!
If you are not sure whether your new baby is a male or a female, look between its legs. Folks don’t know this anymore?
Be careful using this one in discussions/arguments with those who do not agree — the American College of Pediatricians is a conservative advocacy group, not a broad-based professional association. Just a caution.
Want to fight this? Boycott to the best of your ability the companies that are promoting it.
Good to see - given their HORRENDOUS position on talking to kids about guns in the home, I haven’t been very nice to them. But they do get this one right.
Bump.
I do know that. Unfortunately the broad based professional organization has given into the sexual deviants on these matters.
” ...an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such.”
Progressive leftist homo advocates don’t believe anything is OBJECTIVE, they believe everything is SUBJECTIVE - examples include: my reality is different from your reality, what is right for you may not be right for me, we each have our own truths, etc.
Liberalism is a mental disorder!
So what. They are still 100% correct in this instance.
In addition to being child abuse, it is evil.
I can’t even believe something like this has to be written. Welcome to Obamanation
Not good. Their moniker is misleading and they should have something more truthful rather than play the left’s semantic games. Are there ANY pediatricians involved in this group?
According to their website there are pediatricians in the group.
But it does appear to be a subset of the larger, probably more liberal “American Academy of Pediatrics”.
