Truth About Transgenderism from Medical Community

Theology and Politics from a Conservative, Biblical Perspective

The American College of Pediatrics (ACP) recently entered the fray with respect to transgenderism in young people. Essentially, the short of it is that they came out against it for a number of valuable reasons.

In their updated article (from this past January, 2017), Gender Ideology Harms Children, they built a case for the fact that gender identity is clearly harmful for children and therefore, wrong.

[The ACP] urges healthcare professionals, educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality.

That will likely be a very bitter pill for the fascist left to swallow and I’m guessing that they will choose to simply ignore this particular position as they do with everything else that does not gel with their agenda and narrative.

The college provided eight specific reasons as to why gender ideology is dangerous. For a more complete explanation of each one, please read the article linked above.

1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait
2. No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex.
3. A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking.
4. Puberty is not a disease and puberty-blocking hormones can be dangerous.
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. Pre-pubertal children who use puberty blockers to impersonate the opposite sex will require cross-sex hormones in late adolescence.
7. Rates of suicide are nearly twenty times greater among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery
8. Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse.
