Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex. Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”
The signatories are impressive so far. And I'll give you a snippet of their declaration:

We affirm:

In humans, primary sex determination occurs at fertilization and is directed by a complement of sex determining genes on the X and Y chromosomes. This genetic signature is present in every nucleated somatic cell in the body and is not altered by drugs or surgical interventions

A great group which actually follows real science.
One of their members, Dr. Quentin Van Meter, is worth looking up for his excellent presentation on the trans-insanity. He is a pediatric endocrinologist who was a colleague of the madman John Money in the early infancy of the movement. He knows of what he speaks.
Does the DOJ know about this group?
what will merrick garland charge them with?
I guess it’s politically and vocationally safe to defend children.
No quarter for predators.
Long overdue
Welcome but way overdue.
How ironic that the political party that in my youth warned of the dangers of mega corporations that would harm the public and EVEN CHILDREN in pursuit of profits has become the party that protects and promotes the caused of mega corporations that do exactly that.
