Medical establishment has betrayed children, parents with transgender insanity

I have a dream.  In my dream, hundreds of parents, doctors, counselors, are protesting outside children's hospitals throughout America. They keep protesting, not just for one day, but for months. They march in front of Lurie Children's in Chicago, Boston Children's, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital, Nationwide Children's in Columbus, Cincinnati Children's, Children's Medical Center in Dallas and unfortunately, many, many others. Through faces of anguish, outrage, and determination, the spirit of truth prevails. They carry signs with messages like these: "Stop mutilating young bodies!" "Your white coats hide black hearts!" "Gender 'change' is impossible! Stop the abuse!" "Keep Big Pharma hormones out of my child's body!" "Malpractice suits ahead — stop the gender train!" I dream of siblings who will bravely carry placards reading, &qu

LGBT activists protest pediatrician for saying transgendering kids is child abuse

Image
Pro-transgender activists gathered outside a Rhode Island Catholic Church last week to protest a lecture delivered by pediatrician Michelle Cretella, who views  affirming transgenderism in kids  as a form of child abuse . Dr. Michelle Cretella, MD, FCP, president of the American College of Pediatricians , is a prominent expert in children’s health who has battled against the relentless promotion of transgender ideology as it impacts kids. At issue was a recently-enacted Rhode Island law which prohibits parents from seeking psychological help for their gender dysphoric children.    Rhode Island Catholic   explained the reason for Cretella’s presentation at the Church: Last year, the State of Rhode Island made it illegal for a licensed medical professional to counsel a child away from the desire to change his/her gender identity, yet it remains legal to inject that same child with hormone blockers and cross-sex hormones. Currently, Rhode Island public schools are d

Are people born transgender?

Two recent headlines proclaim, " Transgender people are  born that way , a new study has found," and "Scientists uncover  20 genes  linked to being transgender – supporting claims the condition has a physical basis." What are we to make of this? Before we evaluate these announcements, it's important that we understand that we are not discussing the question of people who are  intersex , referring to those who have a biological or chromosomal abnormality in terms of their sex. By definition, people who are intersex are born that way. It's also important that we remember the many sensational headlines that proclaimed that a gay gene (or the like) had been discovered. Every few years, a new "discovery" would be made about "proving" that people are born gay, only to be replaced by the latest "discovery," none of which proved definitive. Back in February 1992, a  cover story  for  Newsweek  featured the face of an infa

Free Speech Bus

The truth of gender is that it is determined by biology, not feelings, emotions or politics. Nobody can change their gender. Individuals have the right to live their private life as they wish, but they do not have the right to force their views on the nation via laws and regulations, nor do they have the right to characterize as discrimination or bigotry the views of people who will not agree that gender is based on something like politics, emotions or desires. A key point of our #FreeSpeechBus tour is to demand that respect be shown to all sides so that a civic debate can be had. We want Americans to learn about the scientific truth of gender – that there is no scientific evidence that anybody can be 'trapped in the wrong body' and that as many as 98% of kids who suffer from gender confusion will outgrow it and come to accept their true gender by the time they complete puberty. But our opponents do not want to discuss the facts – they want to characterize the facts

Dr. Ben Carson: transgenderism is ‘absurd’

The transgender movement opposes “tolerance” The neurosurgeon has come under fire today for a separate address to the Florida delegation at the Republican National Convention, in which he said changing one’s gender is as absurd as attempting to change ethnicity. “For thousands of years, mankind has known what a man is and what a woman is, and now, all of a sudden we don’t know anymore,” he told delegates on Tuesday morning. “Now, is that the height of absurdity?” “We have to be willing to call out people for this absolutely ridiculous stuff that they’re trying to put over on us, that they’re trying to put over on our children,” he said. “Secular progressives” had tried to present the transgender political movement as part of the civil rights crusade, but “it's not a civil rights issue,” he said. Polls   have shown a majority of African-Americans reject   equating LGBT concerns with the civil rights movement . Dr. Carson defended his remarks in an   interview   wit
