A disturbing report from The Federalist details efforts by transgender activists to school the courts in how to deal with parents who refuse to transgender their young children. In some cases, the courts have seized children whose parents refuse to recognize their child's "true" gender.
Margot Cleveland of The Federalist talked to Dr. Michelle Cretella, executive director of the American College of Pediatricians, who described "two waves" of this trend.
"I first began hearing from distraught parents in this situation in 2016 and in 2017, I heard from seven families in as many different states in this situation. In all but one case the child was a 15 year-old girl who never had any sexual identity confusion prior to her parent's [sic] divorce," Cretella said. "The other case involved 4-year-old triplet boys whose mother desperately wanted a girl. The mother was a psychologist herself and had cross-dressed one of the boys for two years, insisting that it was his idea. In each of the seven cases the guardian ad litems and judges removed the right to medical consent and/or custody from the parent who objected to transition with puberty blockers and hormones."
The "second wave" is even worse.
We have since moved on to the second wave, Cretella told The Federalist. "The second wave is going on now, with emergency room staff, therapists, or doctors reporting parents to Child Protective Services who refuse to affirm their child's false gender."
More recently, Cretella explains, she has heard from two sets of parents who were accused of being "abusive parents" for refusing to consent to hormone treatments for their teen children. In one case, the parents sought treatment for their son's suicidal depression.

You dont have to murder whites to genocide them, just give em hormones until they are sterile, or convice them gay is good
America in 2019 isn't putting people into camps, but we kill millions of babies, we celebrate homosexuality and we now seem to be forcing children to become transgender.
At some point, the people doing this are going to say: "I had no idea that this was going on. My hands are certainly clean."
We will need a lot of lamp posts.
Why the heck is going on here?
So now they are redefining child abuse, to include parents not affirming transsexual identity in a child????
We are in Orwell’s 1984, with a dash of Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s USSR totalitarian force pushing all this transgender business.
And soy in everything, don’t forget.
Time to remove tyrants.
People need to get over the idea that their children belong to them. They belong to the state. — Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry
State sponsored child abuse. Wow! Aren’t LIBs malignant?
What good was it to elect Trump? Normal people have lost the battle. This can happen to anyone. If the kid’s school decides he is a girl, you can lose custody and go to jail if you don’t pay to have his weewee lopped off.
Tell me why I should have optimism for the future of this country.
This is a ‘Fill your hand’ situation as far as I’m concerned...
I cannot open the source.
What states are at the greatest risk here. This is not federal at this time.
Thailand more attack on the USA. Remember when these transgender movement said we just wanted equal treatment. Now they want to “CONTROL SOCIETY”.
People should learn that Dems start with voluntary,then end up with five year felony if the armed government agents take you out of your bed at home and find out in questioning without a lawyer that you are guilty. Or soon your own children get a reward for turning parents in for making anti-abortion and anti-enviornmentalist statements at home.
What happened to “encouraging” people to recycle, which now is $-— fine for first offense of finding improperly separated materials in your streetside bins. Fine and 5 days in jail for second offense. Many cities and towns are doing this now.
Remember, throwing away a computer is illegal in most areas. You have to drive it yourself to a legal city recycling dump and pay a disposal fee. So people drive to the outskirts of town and throw them onto the weeds by the road. Now Feds can check the serial numbers to link to past purchase or online records. Like abandoned cars.
choice to not think leads to intellectual acceptance of leftard irrational mode of thought, which leads to moral treason and cowardice, which leads to moral compromise with evil, which leads to spread of evil
When I was a boy my neighborhood playmate was a tom girl. Very masculine in her activities, she could fight, rope and ride. By the insane criteria of today she might have been considered transgendered.
Then puberty happened. She became a beautiful and sensual 100% woman. In high school she was a cheerleader and hot!
This transgendered movement is child abuse.
In late 2015—the year before Cretalla first began receiving calls from concerned parents—the Rhode Island Family Court’s Annual Judicial Conference focused on transgendered children. The lead presenter at the judicial conference was Dr. Michelle Forcier.
In fact, in a Washington Post interview, Forcier suggests that failing to provide opposite-sex health care is unethical. “How ethical is it to negate a person’s identity — to tell them you know them better than they do?” Forcier asked rhetorically when responding to criticism of the transgender-affirming model. “How ethical is it to deny a person access to medication that is very safe, effective and proven to help persons with gender nonforming/diverse brain/identity and body experiences?”

On Thursday, the Health and Human Services committee of the South Dakota House killed a bill that would have protected the right of parents to refuse to consent to medical or psychological treatment for a child suffering from gender dysphoria if the treatment “would induce, confirm, or promote the child’s belief that the child’s sex or gender identity is different from the child’s sex presented at birth.” Proposed House Bill 1205 also provided that “no public authority or official of this state may take any adverse action against a parent for exercising this right.”
That such a simple affirmation of parental rights could not clear a committee in this solidly red state should terrify parents, as it lays bare transgender activists’ plan: use the government to force parents to affirm a false sex for their child, agree to hormone blockers, and accept a transition to their son or daughter’s preferred gender. If parents refuse? Removal of the child from the family, due to alleged medical neglect.

Last fall, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued a policy statement similarly recommending this “gender-affirming” approach and providing youth “access to comprehensive gender-affirming and developmentally appropriate health care.” But as Dr. James Cantor explained in his detailed analysis of the AAP policy statement, “almost all clinics and professional associations in the world use what’s called the watchful waiting approach to helping GD children, [but] the AAP statement rejected that consensus, endorsing only gender affirmation.”

True gender is if it's XY, it's a boy. If it's XX, it's a girl. Denying that is not being truthful. Barf, the tranny at the store who I've observed over the years from growing facial hair to no boobs but still has a squeaky female voice and delicate wrists now has a purple crew cut. Really? SHE wants to be male but dyes HER hair purple?
The godless left just HATES reproduction. Any attack on reproduction is holy in their un-holy world view.
The history of sterilization in this country is equally terrible and many went along easily .
The homo lobby is taking advantage of the weaker kids in class, as they strive for acceptance among their peers.
They simply want more kids to prey upon.
