American College of Pediatricians: Gender Ideology Harms Children (reject chem/surgical sex change)

The first point is, “Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: ‘XY’ and ‘XX’ are genetic markers of health – not genetic markers of a disorder,” with the purpose of male and female being “the reproduction and flourishing of our species.” It notes “exceedingly rare exceptions of sexual differentiation,” which are disorders but do not represent a “third sex.”

about time the professionals call out this nonsense!

[Nevadan]

Wow! Talk about swimming against the tide of political correctness! Entirely refreshing!

The barbarians will be storming the gate in 3, 2, 1...

Wow, in this politically correct world telling the truth is hate speech. Glad to see that there is some remaining sanity in the medical profession.

Save this article. These people will have their houses burned down and their yards strewn with salt inside of a month.

I wondered if she was still there. Found this quote from her a few years ago -

"The science is clear: no one is born gay or transgender. The psychodynamic and psychosocial theories of sexual desire and gender identity have never been disproven. No one has a civil right to a developmental disorder. It is well documented by those on both ends of the political spectrum that the normalization of homosexuality by the American Psychiatric and Psychological Associations was a result of a political and ideological coup, not of science."
Michelle Cretella, M.D., president of the American College of Pediatricians

I hope she lives in Texas. Maybe she’ll be able to defend herself.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Count me as loyal to the sexual binary.

Viva la binary!

A great point to remember as a reply to those, whose sole argument is, “Don’t shove your Bible in my face...”

And the left will start screaming, calling the doctors “fill-in-the-blank-PHOBE.”

[xzins]

The simple truth of xx/xy imbedded inside our very construction really makes the untruth of the proponents of immorality obvious for all to see.

Their condemnation will be when they refuse to see.

[wagglebee]

What these people suffer from is a very serious psychiatric condition that stems from Original Sin. Unfortunately, rather than treat the illness, modern society seems to think that the sufferers need to have their immoral desires validated.

If you were a lunatic who is convinced that he's Abraham Lincoln, you wouldn't expect a psychiatrist to encourage you to go on believing that you're Lincoln. He'd do everything he could to convince you that you're really not Lincoln, instead of giving you a stovepipe hat and telling you to grow a chin curtain beard to indulge your delusional fantasies.

In contrast, if you're a lunatic who is convinced that he's a woman living in a man's body, that psychiatrist is supposed to say "Sure thing" and take out the scalpel and scissors.

Looking again at the article....one of the authors is Dr. Paul McHugh of Johns Hopkins. Google him. He’s already been bullied and fired by the homonazis—for telling gays that their practices cause serious injury and disease.
Kudos to him and his colleagues for continuing to speak out.
Will we be willing to help—and hide—high profile professionals like these when the brown shirts come for them?
