Over the past few years, the idea that gender is something one chooses rather than is has been increasingly directed at some of our society’s most vulnerable and impressionable — children.
Parents and caregivers are encouraging it. The media is encouraging it. Even public schools are teaching transgenderism (a.k.a. It’s a choice if you are a boy or a girl or one of the many other possible “gender identities”) in some states. But the American Academy of Pediatrics has drawn a line — they say such teachings are CHILD ABUSE. Here are their 8 reasons why. They say:
1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of health – not genetic markers of a disorder.
2. No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender (an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female) is a sociological and psychological concept; not an objective biological one.
3. A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking. When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such.
4. Puberty is not a disease and puberty-blocking hormones can be dangerous. Reversible or not, puberty-blocking hormones induce a state of disease – the absence of puberty – and inhibit growth and fertility in a previously biologically healthy child.
5. According to the DSM-V, as many as 98% of gender confused boys and 88% of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty.
6. Children who use puberty blockers to impersonate the opposite sex will require cross-sex hormones in late adolescence. Cross-sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen) are associated with dangerous health risks including but not limited to high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke and cancer.
7. Rates of suicide are twenty times greater among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery, even in Sweden which is among the most LGBQT – affirming countries.
8. Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful as child abuse.
I have never felt conflicted or torn about being biologically and socially a female. So I will admit, it is hard for me to relate to someone feeling they are not the sex they were born. And I am sure there are relatively rare cases (.003%) where it truly is the case, such as in people who were born hermaphrodites and whose parents choose at birth their gender, and choose wrong.
But otherwise, from the minute sperm meets egg, people are XX or XY. And that same XX or XY data replicates, along with the rest of their DNA, in every single cell of their body.
It’s not good or bad to be a boy. It’s not good or bad to be a girl. It simply is what it is. IMHO, it isn’t a choice. Actually it seems masochistic and self-loathing to fight it. There are lots of things we can choose about being who we are. I say better to focus on those, rather than spend energy on wanting to change something one cannot — your own biological reality. Even after surgery, hormones, and other measures — you’ll never change your cellular reality of XX or XY.
What do you think? Please share in the comments.
It’s hard for me to personally relate as well, but that’s to be expected. I don’t doubt that trans people feel the way they say they feel, and for as long as they claim to feel it. Sometimes we just have to trust that their brains are wired differently and we can’t fully understand it the same way that they do.
Sex reassignment surgery is no longer done at Johns Hopkins and they pioneered it. The reason is covered in point seven of the post, way too much depression leading to suicide.
I am glad someone is leading the charge against this. It is child abuse.
True Ash. I can only imagine how hard that would be to wrestle with. Please don’t mistake the post to mean I do not have compassion or empathy for those who do feel that way, or that I don’t believe they feel that way. I do worry about parents or others pushing such ideas on children from a time they are too young to even understand such things, though. That doesn’t seem like they are “choosing” to me.
Another way to think of it might be to consider other genetic traits one has no control over: hair color, eye color, height, skin color, predisposition to certain diseases, etc. One may not like the genetic code they got (such as the BRCA gene that dramatically increases the risk of aggressive breast cancer and other cancers) but since one cannot change that, is it better to deny the reality (skip mammograms, screenings, and other measures) or to accept it (and be proactive.)? One can dye their hair, get colored contacts, etc. but these are all surface changes, preferences. I like the idea of celebrating the unique genetic scramble each and every one of us are! And to think for you and for me, what we got is exactly right! 😀 Love who you are, good and bad, because everyone has things about themselves they like and don’t, but overall we all all unique fingerprints and that’s imho really great!
Yoda,
Points for you for that video. How can anyone sane take that position?
AAP didn’t say this, apparently. I couldn’t find on their website, but did find this
http://www.snopes.com/americas-pediatricians-gender-kids/
This falls on daft ears. The opponents will counter-argue with “WHO deemed homosexuality to be a disease until 1973 – and look how happy gay people are now!”.
The problem is, so many people today are confused with their lives, as there are no clear messages – from parents, from schools, from churches, from states – that will give you the script to follow. A script that will be limiting, yes, but also will get rid you of anxiety caused by endless options.
People are frustrated, and want a quick fix (because we are living in a time of life-hacks, quick fixes, fad diets, magical pills and “there’s an app for that”), a button that will make everything good. So they’re readily adopt the fake causes of this confusion in a desperate attempt to magically make life easier – transsexuality might be one of those fake-explanations. “Hey, I was a girl trapped in a boy’s body all that time – THAT is why I feel angry and alienated at my 14”.
Hopefully I’m wrong, because otherwise the only possible outcome of this society-wide craze will be a wave of suicides lasting for decades.
I agree with a lot of this post, but the AAP has not taken this stance. A quick Google proves they have several articles and pages dedicated to the opposing argument.
“It’s not good or bad to be a boy. It’s not good or bad to be a girl.”
It depends on where you are born and what social strata. If you’re born a girl to a wealthy family in China, they might keep you, but if you’re born a girl to a middle class or poor family, they more than likely will not. Here in the west, it is the best possible time to be a female in history. Boys get shit on by just about everyone for everything, and they see girls getting preferential treatment, so they want in on that. Hence why so many boys are making the jump to identify as female so they can hop on the gibsmedat band wagon while they fuck over their cisgender brethren with all the dirty work.
And heavy lifting of maintaining civilization. And women are still dumbfounded why MGTOW grows exponentially.
Yoda,
YIKES! It’s safe back in the cave. By the way, I like being a bear.
Hell, this seems more fitting than the last post I put it up in:
😉
Oops, I should have verified. Well, they should say it maybe?
[Added: Actually the really DID say it! See here, from their website: http://www.acpeds.org/the-college-speaks/position-statements/gender-ideology-harms-children%5D
You guys are silly… in a good way! 😀
Silly is good!
Yoda,
I had hope that feminism would wreck their ship on the shoals of transgenders. It didn’t happen. Wish that it did. I had popcorn ready.
Actually, I have verified they DID say it. See here: http://www.acpeds.org/the-college-speaks/position-statements/gender-ideology-harms-children
Snopes actually is not always right. IN fact:

Good work, RPG.
I think a congratulatory music video is in order.
I always knew that th red pill is against anything non cis male. ut this goes way too far.
Emscherfee,
What you see here is disagreement, not hate. We are not like TERFs.
http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/TERF
That is hate and they are very generous with it. Why they have the go ahead from the Southern Poverty Law Center is beyond me.
A new post at Spawny’s there is
https://spawnyspace.wordpress.com/2017/02/27/explorers/
I actually think the pro-tranny argument is what lead to the rise of Trump. Leftist, libtards … are always pushing the moral boundaries. If they didn’t … they wouldn’t have anything to fight for. They pushed for women’s rights. They pushed for black rights. Both good causes, no doubt. Kinda like being anti slavery … who could argue for that. But they refused to admit they won. Next they pushed for faggot/lesbian rights. The media pushed pro-fag garbage for decades … the public never really accepted it but had it shoved down their throats anyway. Federal law does not consider marriage/divorce because its a state’s right issue:UNLESS IT IS ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE. Next on the agenda: TRANNIES. Yup … now they started pushing pro-tranny crap down the public’s throat and many realized that the next step was pro-peddie. Yep … pizza gate and molesting children is now something that should be acceptable and that was NEXT ON THE LIST. Suddenly if you weren’t pro-peddie you were a racist, misogynist.
I really think that the public has woken up. Last survey I saw was that nearly 70% of the adult public thought that gay marriage was wrong and yet the libtards and their conspirators in the media shoved it down their throats. And, yes, we saw the blatant bias for years and years, decades. PRO-FAG every single day in every issue. Its why I no longer subscribe to the local paper. So … next is trannies and then after that is pedophiles. Sorry but we see the trend. And, nope, we don’t like where we are going here. Given a choice between Trump and a pro-fag, pro-tranny, pro-predophile Hillary … choice is easy.
I think that Obama gave the election to Trump over bathrooms.
Probably the countries of the world where trannies are more popular are Thailand, Argentina, Brazil and Spain.
Trannies everywhere here.
Many men are switching women for trannies and I can understand since probably trannies are less drama than women in relationships and they cannot get pregnant.
Let´s face it: trannies are the new women. I am not into them since I am extremely pussy-centered but I don´t judge people who are. It is a fact that so many straight women are into trannies too since they are the “perfect” man according to feminism: a man who is in touch (very much) with his female side.
The reason Spain is so LGTB friendly is thanks to the Catholic Church, since Catholic Church is the biggest homosexual organization in the world, and for ages it has been on charge in the educational system.
Thanks God, I didn´t go to a Catholic school but a secular school,
Yeah Fuzzie that was kinda the point I was trying to make. Trump won because libtards thought pedophile, trannies had RIGHTS to invade the women’s bathroom so they could watch little girls pee. And plot whatever evil they wanted. And since they controlled the media and they controlled the courts … they could issue an edict and the public would just line up to be the serfs that they are. Only they had a rude awakening. Trump won and the public decided to fight back.
Yeah … joe public believes being a faggot is wrong. Lesbian … wrong. Tranny … wrong. Pedophile … wrong. Yeah, wrong … immoral … and frankly … disturbed. As in NOT-RIGHT-IN-THE-HEAD. So amend the psych books to what they were decades ago … and make it crime once again to be an effed in the head faggot preying on children. We got a jail cell waiting for you. Re-open the loony bin asylums and round them up. I got a suggestion …. lets start with the leaders of fake news. Anderson Cooper … got a prison cell for you … so you can’t lie to the public, deceive the public, try to convince the public that a serious mental illness is NORMAL. NO MORE FAKE NEWS. Here is some real news: being a faggot is a mental illness … Cooper … here is a jail cell for you: HOPE YOU ENJOY THE OTHER PRISONERS … kinda figure they will enjoy your ass. Pun intended.
Mega,
I don’t know what Obama was thinking when he signed that order. I couldn’t think of a better way to say “F*ck You!” to the overwhelming majority than to do as he did.
I know that was the “too far” point for me! So true.
On another board, I was reminded of how he squander the stimulus money on feminist causes. Had it gone to construction projects, as promised, the economy would have been stimulated. Construction does that. White collar industries don’t. Topping that off, working families suffered.
Barack Obama is not a Democrat.
As said, I am not homophobic at all, but I read in 1996 this book -The Quest for God- by British Catholic historian Paul Johnson. And it was pretty shocking:
“There were a great many of us, in the 1960s, who felt that there were grave practical and moral objections to the criminalisation of homosexuality, and therefore supported, as happened in most Western countries, changes in the law which meant that certain forms of homosexual behaviour ceased to be unlawful. Homosexuality itself was still to be publicly regarded by society, let alone by its churches, as a great moral evil, but men who engaged in it, within strictly defined limits, would no longer be sent to prison. We believed this to be the maximum homosexuals deserved or could reasonably expect.”
As an esteemed historian, Johnson felt he knew ‘better’ than Christian tradition. But…
“We were proven totally mistaken. Decriminalisation made it possible for homosexuals to organize openly into a powerful lobby, and it thus became a mere platform from which further demands were launched.
“We were proven totally mistaken. Decriminalisation made it possible for homosexuals to organize openly into a powerful lobby, and it thus became a mere platform from which further demands were launched. Next followed demands for equality, in which homosexuality was officially placed on the same moral level as standard forms of sexuality, and dismissal of identified homosexuals from sensitive positions, for instance schools, children’s homes, etc., became progressively more difficult.
“This was followed in turn by demands not merely for equality but privilege: the appointment, for instance, of homosexual quotas in local government, the excision from school textbooks and curricula, and university courses, passages or books or authors they found objectionable, special rights to proselytize, and not least the privilege of special programmes to put forward their views — including the elimination of the remaining legal restraints — on radio and television.”
“Thus we began by attempting to right what was felt an ancient injustice and we ended with a monster in our midst, powerful and clamoring, flexing its muscles, threatening, vengeful and vindictive towards anyone who challenges its outrageous claims, and bent on making fundamental — and to most of us horrifying — changes to civilized patterns of sexual behaviour.”
This is so true, but it is so true, as well, that Pope Benedict XVI looked like an old faggot dressed like Santa Claus the day of the Gay Pride.
I openly say it: I will never be able to tolerate homophobes. They are entitled to their opinion but as soon as they are disrespecting mine I will not hesitate to call them out on it.
Lesbians hate faggots.
I saw the reverse from Milo Yiannopoulos at a college lecture during the Q&A segment taking a question from a declared lesbian in the audience. The impression that I got was that he not so much hated her, but questioned her veracity about her sexual orientation. Moral: there is a lot going on that straight people aren’t aware of.
RPG, the AAP and the ACP are two different groups. The American Academy of Pediatrics is the larger more mainstream institution. You are citing that organization in your post, whereas it is actually the ACP that made this statement.
LGTB lobby went too far.
Time to send faggots to the looneybin. Again.
Agree with mega.
Eventually there will be widespread prenatal testing (genes & hormones) where it will be known ahead of time in the bulk of cases if a fetus is going to be homosexual or not. Either therapy or abortion is likely to follow, such that few homosexuals will be born anymore in the West, except to the lowest classes and non-Asian minorities. Like it or not, 50 years from now, odds are the percentage of homosexuals in the U.S. is likely to fall by >75%. This will shred the gay lobby’s influence.
