AAP Gender ideology - not science

Image
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...

Transgender is a mental health problem - you don't know who you are

Image
Aged 16 Jack Green became the youngest person in the world to undergo  transgender   surgery . Now as a 19-year-old woman, Jack has made history once again by becoming the first transgender  Miss England  finalist, and a BBC3 documentary to be aired tonight follows the teen's mission to become a  beauty queen . HERE IS THE MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM Jack Green said:  'I would have had the surgery at five years old if I could.  After the surgery it felt like starting life for the first time." A child of five years of age does not have a developed brain. This statement is totally irresponsible.  THIS IS THE MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM  IGNORED AND JUSTIFIED When Jackie was aged  just four she told her mother Susan: ‘ God has made a mistake, I should be a girl.’  Trapped in a body she hated, Jackie first overdosed aged 11 and made six more suicide attempts before she was 15. Medicines were locked in a safe and kn...

Man undergoing third sex change: ‘I hope I will finally be happy’

Image
Brad "Ria" Cooper, who was the UK's youngest "sex change" patient at 15, announced he is undergoing his third "sex change" operation, this time to make himself more like a woman again. This behaviour is still seen by experts as a mental health issue.  Shortly after his 18th birthday, Cooper "transitioned" back to his biological gender and lived as a "gay man." "But five years in Ria is more certain than ever that is not the real her – and is making her second attempt at becoming a woman to have the future she always dreamed of,"  The Mirror  reported.  De- transitioning back to a man "made me even more unhappy,"  Cooper said . "Now I’m going to be me – and I hope I will finally be happy."  Cooper told the UK show  This Morning  that his life went downhill after a documentary about his "transition" was released when he was 18.  "I was really depressed and I was struggling...

When anti-discrimination turns to shouting down

Image
Andrew Barr 's impassioned defence of the so-called Safe Schools program in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday did not go into the concerns many parents have with their kids being inducted into contested gender theory . No one, especially people of faith, want to see children bullied at school for any reason. Full stop. But missing from the Chief Minister's defence was a rationale as to why an anti-bullying program urges schools to change their policies so boys identifying as girls should be allowed in the girls toilets and to share school camp accommodation. It is not clear why school teachers should cease using gender specific terms such as "boys and girls" when referring to children. No one has explained why four year olds should be encouraged to read the Safe Schools resource book Gender Fairy which tells them no one can tell you what gender you are. Safe Schools heavily promotes the Minus 18 organisation and its website which gives instruction in chest b...

Transgender and high suicide rates

Image
Studies that have been done of transgendered people who have had sex reassignment surgery , people who have been followed for 20 or so years have found that after 10 years from the surgery, that their suicide mortality rate was actually 20 times higher than the non-transgendered population. So I’m very concerned that here we are encouraging young people to do things to their bodies … like chest binding for young girls … [and] penis tucking … Now this is taking kids on a trajectory that may well cause them to want to take radical action, such as gender reassignment surgery…  – Lyle Shelton , managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby , speaking on Q&A on February 29, 2016. Australia’s  Safe Schools Coalition  program has been accused of  “promoting a radical view of gender and sexuality”  in schools. The program’s architects say it aims to boost acceptance of same sex attracted, intersex and gender diverse students, staff and ...

Australia: Queer theory forced onto kids

Image
Australia: In News Weekly May 7, 2016, I referred to the Building Respectful Relationships (BRR) program, which is purportedly designed to prevent domestic/family violence. BRR is solidly based on queer gender theory: “Students need to understand that gender is not fixed and that as young people they can resist traditional notions of what it means to be a young man or a young woman in today’s society. … They will examine the implications of gendered assumptions around masculinities, femininities and sexualities for themselves, others and in intimate relationships. Students will begin to develop skills in … deconstruction, reconstruction.” (Unit 1 ( Year 8 – ages 13-14) Session 1) Basically what this means is that students will be taught to “deconstruct” (that is, question and reject) the perceived reality that every person is male or female and accept the idea that sex is not binary (that is, male and female) and that gender is fluid. Students are provided with the story of a fe...

I used to be transgender. Here’s my take on kids who think they are transgender.

When a 9-year-old boy who identifies as Stormi, a transgender girl, started selling Girl Scout cookies , one neighbor was not amused, according to  Buzzfeed . The neighbor rebuffed him, reportedly saying, “Nobody wants to buy Girl Scout cookies from a boy in a dress.” The neighbor is being called transphobic—but perhaps the neighbor thought he was being pranked by a boy and reacted accordingly. Not everyone assumes that a boy in a dress selling Girl Scout cookies is transgender. People Can Be Genderphobic Stormi looked like a boy to the neighbor because he really is a boy. Transgender people may deceive themselves, but they do not deceive others. Life in society is not some fantasy world where a boy should pretend he has magically transformed himself into a girl simply by uttering the words “I am a girl” and changing how he presents himself. The people who strongly object to the honest reaction from a man saying, “Nobody wants to buy Girl Scout cookies from a boy...
