Above is a petition to the American Academy of Pediatrics in response to their new policy that any child or young adult that self-diagnosis themselves to be of the other sex should be affirmed in their transition including non-FDA approved drugs and medical procedures.
I have no doubt that something is going on with these kids. Most of them now are girls, and their idea of becoming a man comes on very quickly. (”Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” - ROGD).
Studies indicate it may be a social contagion - like anorexia. But obviously it is rooted in mental development, and in most cases is probably not a biological problem that can successfully be treated with drugs and surgery.
The petition is just getting started. They are hoping for 1200 signatures - just 500 now.
So sad that our kids are going through this with just a rubber stamp of approval by the industry.
