A new declaration signed by scientific and healthcare experts is urging that unscientific, harmful “transgender treatments” no longer be given to minors. People cannot change their biological sex, and anyone pretending differently is a liar, an ideologue, or a sexual groomer.
The declaration’s signers have reason to be seriously concerned. Even as European countries are restricting transgender “treatments” for kids, the evil Biden regime is doubling down here in America. After all, Joe “Pedo Pete” Biden asserted, “Our nation’s children are all our children.” These freaks are desperate to mutilate your kid before he grows out of the gender dysphoria they induced.
The Doctors Protecting Children Declaration was released last week by the American College of Pediatricians. It presented extensive research, data, and logical arguments against transgender so-called “treatments” for kids and for teens. The declaration’s signers include both individuals and organizations from over 40 countries. Our children are being sacrificed for the sexual perversion or financial profit of woke leftists, and it must stop now.
The group argues that, “given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH [World Professional Association for Transgender Health] and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States … to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.”
The reality is that there are ways to treat gender dysphoria that provide actual, long-term healing rather than adding extra problems with mutilating “treatments”. The declaration highlighted this fact: “Instead… organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria.” The declaration also urges “physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”
The medical professionals affirm the reality of biological sex, founded unalterably in a person’s genes from the moment of fertilization. The differences presented by the two biological sexes must be recognized for “good medicine,” the declaration affirms. Meanwhile, gender ideology “does not accommodate the reality of these innate sex differences,” and therefore leads to a false understanding of sex. “Medical decision making should not be based upon an individual’s thoughts and feelings,” but rather on the biological reality, the declaration adds.
Furthermore, the doctors highlight a key point: that most children with gender dysphoria naturally grow out of it. For instance, 2021 research showed 87.8% of dysphoric boys naturally desist from discomfort with their biological sex. “Responsible informed consent is not possible” for youth considering the lack of long-term studies on the effects of transgender “treatments” and the lack of full brain development in children. Not only that, the WPATH standards used as the basis for transgender “care” are “demonstrably flawed,” according to the declaration.
The declaration cited research to support its claims, including evidence against cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, which can present “serious long-term risks.” They can alter bones, hearts, and cognitive development, among other issues. Hence European countries have moved to restrict transgender “treatments” for minors. The declaration, in fact, provided extensive citations and explanations to back up the arguments against transgender “care” for youth.
The declaration, as noted above, was signed both by organizations and also by individual experts, including medical experts (physicians, psychotherapists, nurses, and behavioral health clinicians), scientists, researchers, health professionals, and public health and policy professionals.
It should be obvious that puberty blockers, surgeries, and other such “treatments” are harmful to kids, but unfortunately we live in a society now where the obvious is not only ignored but actively suppressed and contradicted. After all, the transgender surgery industry alone is projected to reach a $5 billion dollar value by 2030. Grooming and carving up kids is a lucrative endeavor. Thank God there are still a few healthcare professionals with the integrity to denounce this madness.
