Children's hospital launches sex change for kids program
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | April 19, 2008

A doctor at the renowned Children's Hospital Boston has launched a new program to drug children to delay puberty so they can decide whether they want a male or a female body, according to a report today in the Boston Globe.

Pediatric endocrinologist Norman Spack, 64, says he started the Gender Management Service Clinic because he found himself encountering 20-somethings who were "transgendered" and in good shape socially, "but they were having trouble getting their physique to conform to their identity.

"I knew the 20-somethings could have better chances of passing if they were treated earlier," he said.

"We don't think that demonic is too strong a word to describe this," said a statement from the pro-family Mass Resistance organization. "It brings us thoughts of the Nazi doctors who thought they were doing good things."

WND has reported previously on some of the controversies prompted by the belief that a man can be born in a woman's body, or vice versa, including in Montgomery County, Md., where county officials have adopted a law that precludes those who provide public accommodations from discriminating based on that "gender identity."

Voters there have petitioned to have a vote on that law because they fear men who "decide" they are female walking into women's restrooms and locker rooms.

"Is this our future?" asked Mass Resistance in a commentary. "Dr. Norman Spack runs a clinic for young children who've 'decided' they are transgendered. Among other things, the clinic administers powerful hormones to delay (or even stop) puberty in order that the children more easily undergo operations that mutilate their bodies to 'change' them to the opposite sex."

"You have to explain to the patients that if they go ahead, they may not be able to have children

Let me make sure I understand. This doctor is willing to sterilize an otherwise physically healthy person. The result being this group of people will eventually die out because none of them will be able to reproduce who could reproduce without this ridiculous procedure. How does humanity benefit from this ludicrous procedure doctor?

I don’t think demonic is too strong a word, either. When I first read this article I was convinced it came from the Weekly World News or some other satire rag. But if this is serious, then it is seriously evil.

You better tell that to Mass Resistance. If you bothered to click on the Mass Resistance link in the WND article you would see the Q&A session The Boston Globe had with the doctor in which he expounds on his procedure in a failed attempt to justify this procedure. WND backs up its report with sources. You don't back up your statement with any facts. It's more a matter of you being overly skeptical than WND being gullible.

It is serious. I suggest you click on the Mass Resistance link in the WND article. Mass Resistance has posted the Boston Globe Q&A session had with doctor.

A child knows what they want about a subject like this at this age?

And what happens when they decide they made a mistake when they reach adulthood?

I think this guy is suffering from a severe case of cerebral disengagement. His licenses to practice should be revoked. He is a menace to society.

Ok, let me get this straight, er...whatever. This doctor is going to delay "puberty," and this is what will allow these people to decide their future gender? At 20 years of age I think your body is pretty much pubertied out?

Yes it's for real.

Link to original article in The Boston Globe. Always better to go to the source, rather than third hand. Q&A with Norman Spack

Even the care of transgender adults remains a medical backwater in the United States; in fact, we do not even know how many people in this country have gone through sex changes, because doctors simply did not bother to keep track of patients. Until recently, children with cross-gender feelings rarely received modern medical care - and certainly not hormone shots. After all, who would allow a child to redesign his or her body?

But in the past few years, some doctors have come to believe that kids should be allowed to have some control over how they grow up. Dr. Norman Spack, 64, argues that transgender kids tend to be much happier - and less likely to harm themselves - when they're able to live in their preferred gender role.

What you have here are children who have some sort of genuine gender disorder, being definitively ruined for life as a "treatment".

I'm not sure this is the case here, more likely this is for kids who have been born with serious genitalia defects.

You have to be f-ing kidding me, right? Please tell me this is a joke.

If it's not a joke, this ass clown ought to be in a straightjacket and a padded room.

This world is spiraling straight down to hell...

Just wait until Michelle nObama become the head honcho there... they'll adjust the program to allow children to choose what race they want to be!

I was so hoping that this would turn out to be about only the children who have both genders' sexual apparatus. Imagine my dismay to see that it's a mental choice and not a physical one. Tell me he's not doing it for the money.

I guess plastic surgery for kids is so last year, eh?
