American College of Pediatrics reaches decision: Transgenderism of children is child abuse

They're covering their ass to avoid the lawsuits they know are coming.

American College of Pediatrics is a conservative advocacy group that gave itself a sketchy name because it wants you to confuse it with the larger, more official American Academy of Pediatrics.

yes R2 is correct.

ACP is also homophobic, lest any of the gays or lesbians here want to defend them. I suspect most of our trans thread denizens are straight women, though.

[quote]Some scientists have voiced concerns that ACPeds mischaracterized or misused their work to advance its political agenda.[2][16] Gary Remafedi, a pediatrician at the University of Minnesota, wrote ACPeds a public letter accusing them of fundamentally mischaracterizing his research in their publications to argue that schools should deny support to gay teenagers.

[quote]In an amicus brief regarding the removal of a child from the foster home of a same sex couple (Kutil and Hess v West Virginia) the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) described ACPeds as a "small and marginal group" which was "out of step with the research-based position of the AAP and other medical and child welfare authorities."[5] The LGBT advocacy organization PFLAG categorizes the ACPeds as an anti-equality organization, describing the group as a "small splinter group of medical professionals who do not support the mainstream view of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) that homosexuality is a normal aspect of human diversity."[17]

[quote]The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has said that ACPeds is a "hate group" and a "fringe group" which closely collaborates with the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), and has "a history of propagating damaging falsehoods about LGBT people, including linking homosexuality to pedophilia".[11][12] In response to an ACPeds brief, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) wrote that ACPeds is a fringe group that has acted to promote "unscientific and harmful 'reparative therapies' for LGBTQ students."[18][19][20]

OP can go to hell.

R2 nailed it. The "American College of Pediatrics" is a right-wing advocacy group. Do some basic research OP.

What if they are all women, R4? Does the fact that they are women make their opinion any less valid? You are extremely misogynistic. It's women's lives on the line when voyeurs, fetishists and rapsists take advantage of the trans bathroom bill in order to access women only spaces so they can get free reign to attack and rape them. Women have the right to be protected and they have a right to safety and privacy in their own spaces.

R4 keeps saying that women don't have the right to complain about bio males invading their spaces. How progressive!

The only thing stranger than bio males who want to invade female spaces are those bio males who passionately support them in this endeavor.

So basically, go fuck yourself OP.

The American College of Pediatricians:

Recognizes that there are absolutes and scientific truths that transcend relative social considerations of the day.

Recognizes that good medical science cannot exist in a moral vacuum and pledges to promote such science.

Recognizes the fundamental mother-father family unit, within the context of marriage, to be the optimal setting for the development and nurturing of children and pledges to promote this unit.

Recognizes the unique value of every human life from the time of conception to natural death and pledges to promote research and clinical practice that provides for the healthiest outcome of the child from conception to adulthood.

Recognizes the essential role parents play in encouraging and correcting the child and pledges to protect and promote this role.

Recognizes the physical and emotional benefits of sexual abstinence until marriage and pledges to promote this behavior as the ideal for adolescence.

Recognizes that health professionals caring for children must maintain high ethical and scientific standards and pledges to promote such practice.

Recognizes the vital role the College has in promoting quality education for parents, physicians, and other health professionals.

I didn't know they were a hate group. I confused them with a real doctors organization

Even a broke clock...

Doesn't mean they're wrong, people.

Aww, R3, in another anti-trans thread you posted a link to an Iranian (!) study where over 80% of the GID patients were found to have a personality disorder. You obviously failed to mention the country of origin in your summary but you did kindly announce that most suffer from narcissism. How nice of you! One would've thought this kids' study would've been right up your alley.

It seems you also claimed to be a professor in another thread. What is it that you teach exactly? Do you regularly use questionable sources in your teaching?

These trans-hate women are far from being all straight. They've resorted to bullying Trans school kids who go through considerable peer abuse already.

Bah. OP, you don't even have the name of the organization correct. It's the American College of Pediatricians, not Pediatrics. Pediatrics being a body of medical science. Pediatricians being free, if they want, to be a bunch of crackpots.

From their statement on sex education.

The American College of Pediatricians strongly endorses abstinence-until-marriage sex education and recommends adoption by all school systems in lieu of “comprehensive sex education”.

Not just crackpots, but crackpots who can't punctuate. The period belongs within the quotation marks.

To hell with all of them at the American College of Pediatricians.

Funny how you all dismiss them as crackpots when their statements are logical and sensible, while the trans agenda is built on the woolly-headed conceit that emotions override physical reality.

[quote][R4] keeps saying that women don't have the right to complain about bio males invading their spaces. How progressive!

I have said no such thing in my life, you fucking psycho. I quoted Wikipedia; everything else you made up.

You're just like the alt-right who come here: you use a gay board and gays themselves to push your agenda, you quote conservative homophobic rhetoric to try to make your point, you troll and change IPs and flame and stalk people you don't like.

Any good will your side of the issue may have had is completely lost now. You're just as bad as the alt-right you ally yourselves with. About a year ago some of you ladies had good points, but I think the sane ones left to go to the proper boards to discuss this issue, and all that's left are the crazies like you.

The Southern Poverty Law Center can go to hell. How many anti-gay ideologies can it support at one time? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

" Trans school kids who go through considerable peer abuse already" - they aren't trans. They have been swept up in homophobic trans-mania. They will have more to deal with than school when they are subjected to dangerous drugs, hormones and surgery- none of which was needed. Any school participating in the "transkid" homophobic, sexist, anti-science sham scam should be shut down for child abuse, lack of child protection, and absence of eduactional standards

The British Medical Association has said pregnant women should not be called "expectant mothers" as it could offend transgender people.

"eduactional" is a typo for educational. (In case anyone cannot figure it out, or does not have a life).

Transing children is gay conversion therapy. I will post this over and over and over until people like R4 gets it.

[quote]The most likely outcome of childhood GID is homosexuality or bisexuality.

[quote]you ladies

It's T troll

It's true, R21. And this should be the #1 gay/lesbian issue right now, but homophobic T has taken over gay orgs and gay press and silenced the truth.

AAP is the real pediatrics organization.

And this whole thread is just more from the walking, stinking piece of shit that is the anti trans troll on this site.

R4 you're homophobic and a misogynist. Go join your alt-Right friends since you have so much in common with them.

Anything that's anti-T is good for gays and good for women.

R25, You are obviously and demonstrably wrong about r4.

No, R25 is right. Anyone who supports the T agenda is a bigot, plain and simple. Why do you hate women and gay men so much that you project your hatred onto us, breeders and breeder-lovers?

R27, I get that ACP is a bigoted organization. But R4 is still a homophobic and misogynist troll. As you must be as well.

"Bigotry" against the cult of jenn-durr is no worse than "bigotry" against Nazis, Klansmen or terrorists. When you think about it they're all on the same page: erase gays by any means necessary.

The only way they're going to stop the cult of jenn-durr is to admit that gays and jenn-durr critical feminists were and are right about human sexuality.

[quote] Anyone who supports the T agenda is a bigot, plain and simple.

Clearly you are one of the dumbest people to ever live.

R28 is correct, R32.

Fuck you OP, and your right wing homophobic American College of Pediatrics.

Wow, you people sure got rid of that thread about the Washington Times article on the little boy made to pretend that he is a girl very quickly!!!!

Congrats! Does anyone else think there are trannies here who link threads to some other forum so they can all F&F anything they don't like?

Article for anyone not brainwashed:

The family of the trans boy wrestler:

Angela McNew said she had questions for several years about the gender identity of her child. They were resolved about five years ago, when Mack was in the seventh grade.

"My aunt and I had been trying to figure this out, because it was more than about (Mack) being a tomboy," she said. "We found that a Katie Couric special about transgenders was on television, and we sat down and watched it.

"I recorded it and watched it (with Mack), and he was like, 'Yes, that is what I feel like. That is how I feel.' "

So was being a straight tomboy or a straight trans boy the only options? The article doesn't make it clear because the issue of sexual orientation isn't important, right?

Just because a family is a member of PFLAG and is pro-trans doesn't automatically follow that they would accept THEIR kid being gay.

That is child abuse what they are doing to that kid at R35. Homophobic, sexist, anti-science, anti-reality child abuse. Talk about FAKE NEWS. The Washington Post, who brought you pretend weapons of mass destruction, to start a war.

I tried to talk to three straight people about the "transgender issue." Two thought it meant they were hermaphrodites. The third said: "the androgynous people?"

So that is the level a lot of people are at, then they get this onslaught of trans propaganda, and believe it, because it is sexist and homophobic, plus it is on TV, so it is real, right?

It's totally normal to identify with another gender (man, woman) but to think that your gender is inherently related to one's biology (male, female) is a conflation of sociology and biology. Gender-queer people illustrate gender as a social construction, one unrelated to anatomy. Myself, I felt like a girl as a child and now I feel like a guy. Whatever that means. But it has nothing to do with my huge cock.

[quote]the Washington Times article

The Washington Times is a far-right tabloid spewing fake news. It's no better than the fake medical organization OP posted "research" from.

Must be a typo, R40. The article linked at R35 is the Post.

American Academy of Pediatrics Issues Policy in Support of Trans Kids

They got it 100% right.

Political correctness, some of it has a legitimate place. Some words are threatening to certain groups and should not be used. They are the precursor to someone either being attacked or killed. But allowing a group such as the trans community to rewrite how we speak about women because they deem it offensive is insane. Political correctness and anyone that continues to advocate for it looks like a promoter of thought policing to me.

Let's not forget, follow the money. There is a lot of money in promoting trans. Big pharma and the medical community are making fortunes off of all the drugs and procedures trans people require. This movement is not about tolerance or showing humanity to this group. It's about making money and the trans community is using their power to run over the rights of women.

r38 if the trans movement is not sexist or homophobic then they need to do a better job at voicing their objection to their community being portrayed that way. They have some high profile members that love giving their opinion, where are they to dispel these ideas? We can only work with what is being reported to us and what is being reported is sexist and homophobic.

Fuck you for being so inept that you can't check your source before posting this, OP.

As others have mentioned, the American College of Pediatrics is a radically pro-life, life begins at conception, anti-gay, pro-conversion therapy political group masquerading as a scientifically neutral advocate for children. "Children need a father and a mother" is the header of one of their position statements. "There is significant risk of harm inherent in exposing a child to the homosexual lifestyle," they say in an article against adoption by homosexuals. And even beyond their "concern" for children, they also oppose gay marriage and the parental support of gay teenagers.

"ABSTRACT: A pre-school boy insists on dressing like a girl. A 5 year old girl refuses to wear dresses and insists that one day she will grow a penis. A teen boy has just announced to his family that he is “gay”. How should physicians advise parents to respond?" Notice that the preschool boy wanting to dress like a girl is lumped in with a newly out gay teenager?

"Parents have the right to make informed health care decisions for their children based on accurate and unbiased information, as do psychosocially mature adolescents themselves. While sexual attractions may not be consciously chosen, one can choose what to do with these attractions once recognized. No one is “born gay.” Biological and environmental influences may be fostered or foiled. Therefore, same sex attraction is indeed preventable and changeable to varying degrees for many who desire these outcomes."

Once again, fuck you, OP, for linking this bullshit to DL.

R42, BOTH the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Pediatrics are anti-gay.

The ACP believes in nurture over nature, which is anti-gay. The AAP believes effeminate gay male minors should undergo irreversible hormonal treatment to be turned into “females”, which is anti-gay. They’re both fucked up and BOTH can go to hell.
