SAN DIEGO, CA , June 3, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A well-known psychiatrist is raising concerns over a new  viral video  featuring a California couple who allowed their pre-school-aged daughter to begin living as a boy. The video was created by the girl’s parents, Jeff and Hillary Whittington, who posted it to YouTube after showing it to homosexual activists at the Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast, where they accepted an “Inspiration Award” for their decision to help their daughter “transition” to her chosen sex at such an early age. It has since been viewed over 4 million times. Dr. Keith Ablow Massachusetts psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, an author and Fox News contributor, told LifeSiteNews that the video paints a happy picture while consciously ignoring the risks of early transition – which often involves genital plastic surgery and large doses of hormones. “I am not convinced that the best option for children who are uncomfortable with their gender is to rapidly tran

ROCHESTER, NY ,  – Two Rochester-area radio hosts have been fired after a twelve-minute segment in which they criticized the city for agreeing to fund sex-change procedures for its employees and dependents, and implied that would-be-transsexuals are mentally ill. Radio hosts Kimberly and Beck of “The Morning Buzz” talk show were fired early Thursday for comments they made during their Wednesday morning show.  During the course of a segment covering city health coverage for self-identified “ transgender ” people, the duo slammed the city’s decision as a waste of taxpayer dollars and asked why costly elective sex-change surgeries and treatments should be paid for by the city, but not breast enhancement surgery or Botox for women who are similarly unhappy with the way they look. Kimberly and Beck Kimberly, however, approved of the provision granting psychological counseling to so-called “transgender” individuals, saying that anyone wanting elective surgery to pass themselves

But the Massachusetts -based psychiatrist told  LifeSiteNews  in an exclusive interview that he’ll keep speaking out on the issue despite the dangers.  Psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow “I have had to make a decision about whether to say what I think and try to be empathetic to everyone, despite those threats and despite the calls from many people for me to be stripped of my academic credentials,” Ablow told LifeSiteNews.  “It’s important to keep speaking out on this issue because, apparently, in America, there are thousands of children who are being prepared for extensive, life-changing plastic surgery who may or may not need it.” Ablow said that what causes a person to feel ‘trapped in the wrong body’ is a question

July 5, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Dr. Keith Ablow , a psychiatrist who functions as a Fox News expert on the channel’s “Medical A-Team” says that he hesitates to write anything that might be considered objectionable to homosexual activists, due to the threats of violence he is likely to receive as a result. In a recent Fox News interview with Ablow, the psychiatrist spoke about the recent  New Family Structures Study  (NFSS), which showed that children who were aware of same-sex sexual activity on the part of at least one of their parents were much more likely to have been sexually abused themselves and to suffer from depression, impaired relationships with others, and many other problems. Observing that the study is the largest ever done on this subject, Ablow said that the disturbing results indicate “we’ve got to look more at it,” adding: “And it’s such a controversial thing, I’ve got to tell you, that I hesitate to write the blog [on the topic], because every time I
