GAY TRUTH

American Academy of Pediatrics’ new guidelines support gender change for kids - dangerous ideology not even science The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is urging parents to accept the preferred gender identity of their children without regard for the children’s actual biological sex. The progressive-leaning group published a policy statement Monday calling for “comprehensive” and “gender-affirming” health care for minors who do not identify with their birth sex. This includes “surgical intervention” and puberty-blocking hormones – both of which are controversial for being insufficiently proven and ultimately unhelpful to those suffering from gender confusion. The advance of gender ideology – the belief that a person has a “gender identity” that may or may not align with their biological sex – has the support of some in the medical community. And the results, other medical experts say, amount to an assault on children that is not based on science. Pubertal suppression, cros

Pediatric “gender clinics” are considered elite centers for affirming children who are distressed by their biological sex. This distressful condition, once dubbed gender identity disorder, was renamed “gender dysphoria” in 2013. In 2014, there were  24 of these gender clinics , clustered chiefly along the east coast and in California . One year later, there were 40 across the nation. With  215 pediatric residency programs  now training future pediatricians in a transition-affirming protocol and treating gender-dysphoric children accordingly, gender clinics are bound to proliferate further. Last summer, the federal government stated that it would not require Medicare and Medicaid to cover transition-affirming procedures for children or adults because medical experts at the Department of Health and Human Services found the risks were often too high, and the benefits too unclear. Undeterred by these findings, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health has pressed ahea

Transgender politics have taken Americans by surprise, and caught some lawmakers off guard. Just a few short years ago, not many could have imagined a high-profile showdown over transgender men and women’s access to single-sex bathrooms in North Carolina . But transgender ideology is not just infecting our laws. It is intruding into the lives of the most innocent among us — children — and with the apparent growing support of the professional medical community. As explained in my 2016 peer reviewed article, “ Gender Dysphoria in Children and Suppression of Debate ,” professionals who dare to question the unscientific party line of supporting gender transition therapy will find themselves maligned and out of a job. Americans need an alternative to the mainstream media. But this can't be done alone.  I speak as someone intimately familiar with the pediatric and behavioral health communities and their practices.

More than 9 in 10 new HIV cases among young men and boys ages 13 to 24 in the U.S. occur among homosexuals and bisexuals, according to a  new report  by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) . The April 25 CDC report, “HIV Among Gay and Bisexual Men ,” offers stark evidence of the extreme health risks associated with male homosexual sex , in particular receptive anal sex. Below are some of its findings: — Gay and bisexual men aged 13 to 24 accounted for an estimated 92 percent of new HIV diagnoses among all men in their age group and 27 percent of new diagnoses among all gay and bisexual men; — Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men  made up an estimated 2 percent of the population, but 55 percent of people living with HIV in the United States in 2013; — From 2005 to 2014, HIV diagnoses decreased in the United States by 19 percent overall but increased 6 percent among all gay and bisexual men; — 1 in 6 gay and bisexual men will be diagnosed

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 20, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – This weekend, Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio said that one's "sexual preference" is an inborn trait and cannot be chosen. “You have said you're against gay 'marriage,'” interviewer Bob Schieffer said, casting his eyes away from the Florida senator, to each side on CBS's  Face the Nation  this weekend. “Do you think that homosexuality is a choice?” “It's not that I'm against gay marriage, but I believe the definition of the institution of marriage should be between one man and one woman,” Rubio began. He said those who wish to change the immemorial definition of marriage should engage in a “political debate” and win others to their side, not impose their views from above. “I don't believe that courts should be making that decision, and I don't believe same-sex marriage is a constitutional right.” Then he answered Schieffer's question about genetics. “I

School officials are being increasingly pressured by pro-homosexual organizations to integrate homosexual education into school curricula. These organizations recommend promoting homosexuality as a normal, immutable trait that should be validated during childhood, as early as kindergarten. These organizations also condemn all efforts to provide treatment to gender confused students, advocating instead the creation of student groups that affirm homosexual attractions and behaviors. One of the most coordinated efforts to convince school officials to embrace this position was launched by a coalition of 13 organizations which produced a brochure entitled, Just the Facts about Sexual Orientation and Youth . This coalition, which includes the American Academy of Pediatrics , American Psychiatric Association, and the National Education Association , mailed the brochure in January 2008 to all 16,000 public school superintendents in the United States .  The purpose of the brochure is to:
