College of Pediatricians Denounce Gender Transitioning

The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) released a statement formally denouncing the medical “transitioning” of children.

The group of around 700 pediatricians announced a petition which calls on other organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychological Association and the American Medical Association, to “immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children or adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.”

Dr. Jill Simons, executive Director of ACPeds, stated, “we have serious concerns about the physical and mental health effects of the current protocols promoted for the care of children and adolescents in the United States who express discomfort with their biological sex.”

The petition includes four affirmations such as “ Sex is a dimorphic, innate trait defined in relation to an organism’s biological role in reproduction. In humans, primary sex determination occurs at fertilization and is directed by a complement of sex determining genes on the X and Y chromosomes.”

The group states that medical procedures “should be based upon an individual’s biological sex.”

Amongst a varied number of specifics discussed in the petition, the broad term of “gender ideology” is also addressed.

Dr. Andre Van Mol of ACPeds stated: “Transition affirmation is not proven to be safe or effective long term. It does not reduce suicides. It does not repair mental health issues or trauma.”

Several statements were included in a list the College presented which warns of the risks associated with the medical procedures used to “transition” children. The group says that these procedures may “disrupt physical, cognitive, emotional and social development,” which could lead to “sterility.”

Other medical professional associations joined the petition including the American Academy of Medical Ethics, the American College of Family Medicine, and the Catholic Medical Association.

Conclusion

Children are vulnerable and impressionable – these are gifts given to each person in their adolescence that should be protected by adults and not exploited for monetary gain as we can so clearly see happening with the medical field being flushed with pro-gender transitioning propaganda.

The tide is turning in favor of protecting children from the transitioning mafia and it isn’t just happening here at home but all across the globe.
