Boston Doctor Behind Puberty-Blocking Drugs for "Transgender Children" Is Allied with Dangerous Groups

Can you judge people by the company they keep?

Our post on ABC's 20/20 on "transgender children" led us to check out the doctor they quoted as recommending early hormonal intervention for children. Dr. Norman Spack is head of the new Gender Management Service Clinic at Children's Hospital Boston, unique in the country. Dr. Spack is also a trustee of Hebrew College in Newton. But look at the other company he keeps:

Dr. Spack presented a workshop at a radical conference promoting total sexual freedom and dangerous perversions, "Transcending Boundaries", last November in Worcester. It was organized by transgender radicals and PFLAG* and co-sponsored by the New England Leather Alliance* (NELA = the BDSM crowd)! How many physicians would be part of a conference where they also held workshops entitled:

*SM101 (Not a “How To” but a “What! Huh?”): How to Talk About BDSM/Leather/Fetish – For Allies, Families, and Professionals [i.e., Bondage & Discipline, Sadomasochism, whips, chains, ropes] *Polyamory 101 [group sex, multiple partners] *Legal Issues and Being Kinky: Oil and Water! New England Leather Alliance [how to avoid law enforcement & legal problems when engaging in torture, etc.] *Bi Men: Coming Out Every Which Way *Queercrips: We Do Exist, We Do Have Sex, and We Can Be Really Hot [still looking for definition of "queercrips"]

Here's a seminar Dr. Spack gave in Feb. 2007 (co-sponsored by the radical GLBT Stonewall Center at UMass Amherst). He seems to consider it ethical to offer treatment for "relief" from "socially imposed or psychological/physical distress", including "puberty delaying interventions." Dr. Norman Spack, (Senior Endocrinologist, Children's Hospital & Harvard Med School, Boston, MA): Ethical and Treatment Dilemmas in Intersex or Gender-Variant Children and Adolescents Children and adolescents struggling with gender identity issues present to their families and health care providers wanting relief from socially imposed or psychological/physical distress. Medical interventions must take into account the child’s physical, emotional and gender identity developmental needs. Families and their providers often struggle to determine the right course of treatment for children exhibiting gender variance as well as those who present with intersex conditions (disorders of sex development). Dr. Spack will share his perspective and answer questions on what it means to initiate medical treatment, such as puberty delaying interventions, for children and adolescents.

We first encountered Dr. Spack back in 2005, when he stood up for a "transitioning" elementary school student in Methuen. In more recent news, the highly respectable Children's Hospital web site (April 2007) posts this:

New clinic addresses intersex and gender issues ... Unique in the Western hemisphere, the clinic will also care for children and young adults who present as transgendered—those who have no known anatomic or biochemical disorder, yet feel like a member of the opposite sex. Such feelings can emerge early, even in the preschool years, and can cause considerable psychological distress. For that reason, transgendered young people are often assumed to have a psychiatric disorder and are placed on psychotropic medications. By late adolescence, a high percentage have attempted suicide. "This will be the first major program in the country that is not only treating DSDs [disorders of sexual differentiation -- actual physical abnormalities at birth, or "intersex"], but also welcoming young people who appear to be transgendered and are considering medical protocols that might help them," says Dr. Spack.

On Dr. Spack, from an international conference on "endocrinological intervention in the gender identity development treatment of adolescents":

The USA: Three eminent American clinicians have made comments on the early suspension of puberty: ... 3 - Dr Norman Spack, at the Children's Hospital Boston has stated ... that "Children's Hospital Boston has just assembled an Interdisciplinary Gender Team which I am co-chairing along with Paed Urologist Dr. David Diamond (Endocrinology, Urology, Genetics, Ethics, Psychology, Neonatology, Gynaecology) that will soon see patients jointly and collaborate in evaluation and research on appropriate patients, from DSD (Disorders of Sex Development) to Transgenderism. It was not I but the entire group that insisted that Gender Identity Disorders be included in the clinical program. We are awaiting approval from our Institutional Review Board and the FDA to acquire already-offered free GnRH analogue for clinical use in carefully selected Tanner 2 transgendered teens."

So there's apparently a group of transgender advocates at Children's Hospital. And what role exactly does the FDA play in approving these drug treatments for "transgender teens"?

++++++++++++++++++++++

*NOTE on PFLAG and NELA: Remember that PFLAG is the group with the largest representation on the new state "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth." PFLAG is really pushing hard on "transgender children". The BDSM advocates at PFLAG's conference, New England Leather Alliance (NELA), recently held a convention at the Sheraton Danvers which we reported on. NELA recently held this lecture: "LAYERED PAIN: EXTREME TORTURE -- This presentation will explore and discuss various types of layered pain. This type of edge play requires using extreme safety precautions and seasoned bottoms. Often this type of play involves body fluids such as lymph and blood. It goes beyond the uni-sensation scene and explodes the possibilities...." NELA has new classes on "Vaginal Fisting 101" and "Japanese Inspired Rope Bondage". On the "fisting" class: Want to get a 'hand' in? Ever thought about 'human hand puppets'? Well, join us to learn about vaginal fisting. With a hands IN approach! There will be a demo and handOUTs too! SUSIEQ is a bisexual switch from NY, who has been in the scene for over 10 years. She is active in TES, Lesbian Sex Mafia (LSM), NYSMA, Leather Pride Night (LPN), Leather Leadership Conference (LLC), DefendersNY, and the swing scene.

I'm going to say this now.

Operation Rescue runs a site on all the abortion doctors and the botched abortions they have done.

Now I wonder who will run a website on all the tranny doctors and all the botched surgeries they have done?

This Doctor sounds like a piece of work and I'm wondering if they are all like this?

These people are truly sick.

It’s one thing to say, ‘do what you want in your bedroom’. But, these nasties are broadcasting their deviant behavior. They want it to be mainstream.

It feels like this Bud lite ‘boycott’ was the first time the public not just pushed back, but let it be known who the majority are. And it’s not them.

“unique in the country”

google the combination of:
gender
the name of an eminent medical institution

[Morgana]

I honestly don’t know what to think or feel.

I am numb.

For real I thought the abortionist were bad then I find this.

I wonder when God will make it stop?

[ssfromla]

He's a sick and gross individual.

He must live in a cocoon because surely someone would've told him to his face that he was not the norm and that his behavior is unacceptable.

He needs a good shaming. In no way should we put up with this man or any individual that pushes society towards accepting their their mental illness and be ok with it.

I don't want to go along with their game. I am not blind and I do see it for what it is.

That Dr is is so far gone that he doesn't think there's anything wrong with him.

He's spreading his sickness.

[HollyB]

ESG has become a cancer in the world. To think it began in 2005 in the UN as a means to strong-arm businesses and investment. And since then they pushed it hard and we’re successful. Now every conceivable business has to include Environmental, Social governance. This opened the door and the nut jobs cheered. Now these nut jobs don’t just have permission, they keep outdoing each other and while their ESG scores climb, our society is crumbling.

If ESG could be outlawed, I’d be more than grateful.

Dr. Spack presented a workshop at a radical conference promoting total sexual freedom and dangerous perversions, "Transcending Boundaries",

A part of the perversion of all that God ordained: and in league with this feminist wokeism warrior, whose warring wordcraft asserts:

intersections with race, ethnicity, coloniality...has long served as a taxonomizing apparatus. And yet, the literary, in league with anticolonial...movements...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations otherwise... representations of gender and sexuality can leverage critiques against normativity...Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies and methodologies...Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index the possibilities of intimacy and performativity...our aim will be to read and reread as well as write and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate how gender and sexuality...are embodied and experienced."

This is Nazi torture doctor stuff, but unlike the Nazi torture doctors they do it right out in the open and are self righteous about it. And have the support of a major political party.

Say no to peaceful coexistence!

Wow. It finally just clicked in my head why child molesters want puberty blockers handed out like candy.

[CletusVanDamme]

I notice a pattern here....

[Ban Draoi Marbh Draoi]

The only reason why He hasn’t stopped anything is because He is not willing that anybody perish but that they come to repentance unto life (II Pet. 5:9.)

But when He decides “enough is enough!” His judgment will fall on these impenitent sinners like a ton of bricks.
