It helps to read the article.
I know a 13-14 year old girl driven across state lines to have a radical mastectomy. She thinks shes a boy. Her parents are nuts.
She now still looks and acts exactly like a tiny little 90 lb. 12 year old girl - sans boobs.
Lord have mercy.
They live in a major city with dozens of well known hospitals but had to travel hundreds of miles to a neighboring state to get some one to perform the surgery.
Why is this not malpractice for an unnecessary surgery on a child?
The risks: death or paralysis from anesthesia, infection, removal of breast and surrounding tissue, permanent sterility from rounds of testosterone. Plus the unknown endocrine risk from a life long regime of hormones!!!
Inane analogies aside, how are they "abrogating" their responsibility by asking clinicians NOT to affirm the trans lifestyle by default?
People not reading more than the headline? Not on FR. These guys read every word. Every time. Ha ha.
I swear, you could post a red meat headline with jibberish and you would get 100 replies and a bunch of arguments.
bkmk
What does that have to do with THIS letter?
Get your kids out of public school. That is the only place they can control and indoctrinate them. Do it tomorrow.
Parents do this, and the schools do this.
Un believable.
When a kid says they are going to suicide if it is not done, and the government pressed it, parents do what they think they need to do.
Happens all the time.
And they want insurance to pay for elective cosmetic surgery that wont actually make them happy.
Additional billing fraud occurs when men get ‘serviced’ by a gynecologist.
How many of these kids are being raised by Pedo/LGBT folks that are steering their adopted or artificially inseminated children into this abomination?
From: Brief Statement on Transgenderism
The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Abstract. The claim that it is possible to change ones sex, or that sexual identity is fluid, contradicts scientific evidence, reason, the nature of the human person, and key tenets of the Catholic faith. A small number of persons claiming to be transgender mistakenly believe that their true self and sexual identity contradict the sex of their bodies. They frequently experience profound suffering due to intense psychological distress and due to the challenges of forming a healthy self-identity and basic human relationships, including friendships and marriage. Hormonal and surgical interventions, and other behaviors and practices that attempt to validate mistaken beliefs to relieve distress and suffering, are inappropriate responses to their condition.
Persons claiming to be transgender must be accompanied on their difficult journey with true charity, and should be offered ethical, effective therapies based on sound anthropology and scientific evidence. The National Catholic Bioethics Center offers considerations to facilitate appropriate efforts to accompany and to help such persons. National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly 16.4 (Winter 2016): 599603.
Get your kids out of public school. That is the only place they can control and indoctrinate them. Do it tomorrow.

No, the government, the counselors, the doctors, the health care system, the social workers, the neighbors, the friend groups, the internet, the films, the TV shows... everything that these kids swim in controls them .
re: “Inane analogies aside”
Not ‘inane’, rather, apropos.
Did AAP reply?
I went to the site via my phone. After the 4th popup ad bullshut i quit
Parents are not always able to be rational when it comes to their kids. Just watch the parents of high school athletes.
This is just brainwashing.
You damned fool, I am a Christian.
And have worked with many Christian families on this issue. There have been no effective countering therapies available until just recently because any one who questioned the issue lost their job or ability to practice.
Within or outside of the various churches.
The State Human Rights Tribunals and Planned Parenthood are enormously powerful.
The parents deserve very long prison sentences.
Everything: There doctors affirmed the changes and she went on hormones for a year before having her breast chopped off before the age of 14.
“we are deeply concerned that the clinicians using affirmation therapy are inadvertently inflicting physical and psychological harm.”
Did YOU read the letter?
re: “You damned fool, I am a Christian.”
That would not seem to be, and indeed, is not sufficient. I will assume you have not reached the point, yet, where you view the Catholic Church as being the one, true church.
Did you read the first link I posted above or not?
I’ve got several more I could post, but, I’m afraid your rage is blinding you at present, brother (or sister).
What do you think “affirmation therapy” means?
