Transgenderism of children is Child Abuse

[davsel]

Finally, some common sense being published:

http://www.weaselzippers.us/263864-transgenderism-of-children-is-child-abuse-american-college-of-pediatrics-rules/

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.


Now, if they could apply the same common sense to homos, civilization may be on the mend.

I had "the talk" with my 9 year old son tonight and while looking for some child friendly diagrams to explain a few things I noticed that every site has LGBT as one of the first things you should discuss. Needless to say, that didn't end up as part of our discussion about how a male transfers DNA to a female..

The funniest part was his response of "you did that to mom!!!".

On a similar note, there are some people who are actually borne with the wrong chromosomes. Now I'm picturing PC principal from South Park correcting me for saying 'wrong'.




X – Roughly 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 5,000 people (Turner’s )
XX – Most common form of female
XXY – Roughly 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 people (Klinefelter)
XY – Most common form of male
XYY – Roughly 1 out of 1,000 people
XXXY – Roughly 1 in 18,000 to 1 in 50,000 births

This is published on the American college of pediatricians website, they must have gotten a terrible bunch of pushback because there is a note that it is being rewritten.

I'm surprised there haven't been more replies on this.

I feel kinda sorry for people who feel they are trans-whatever. What a shitty way to go through life. Pretender assholes looking for attention can fuck off. I'm talking the miniscule number of people who truly believe they are whatever they think they are, but really aren't. I think they have serious psychological problems (be it genetic or not) but I'm no doctor. Parents who encourage little kids to explore acting like the other sex, blah blah blah....shame on them. Encourage a boy to be a boy and a girl to be a girl for crying out loud.

And dudes that get sex changes? How screwed up in the head do have to be to get to the point that you say, "Ok doc, I'm ready...go ahead and lop it off"?

The statement speaks for itself.

Biology makes me male and my wife female. What does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a woman? Spend your life being who you want to be and being the best you can be at it. I believe we are blessed with life for a purpose. Make the most of the gifts you have been given.

Be safe.

I agree with your general sentiment, but your last line made me laugh out loud. Sorry, but some people just can't "handle" the responsibility that comes with boy parts. [ROFL1]

Maybe there are few comments because it's common sense?

[GilpinGuy]

Common sense hasn't prevented many a thread from going bat-shit crazy before.

I agree with the article. I think it is also tragic when LBGT's adopt or "have" a kid and - oh, of course, they would never push LBGT on them - but the kid is of course "transgendered" by age of like, 4 or 5. Trying to get reassignment before they are 12. When they do that, it probably f**ks up that kid worse for life than a victim of a pedophile. (Not saying all gay couples with kids do that, but there are definitely a few).

So by that thought no one should be able to adopt kids because even though not all adopters abuse kids physically or psychologically, there are definitely a few that do.

I know a (former) guy who is trans female, post op. He was sexually abused as a young kid by his grandparents. So, yes, definitely screwed up in the head. It's anecdotal but I'm sure her case is hardly unique.

Oddly, she is a Republican...

There is special red hot fire poker in hell for people that do this shit.

This is what happens when you let your male kids play with rainbow bright...

I think the whole transgender thing is nothing more than the next level in peoples never ending quest of being "special". Once the sexual preference fad of being gay/lesbian wore off something more "Special" needed to top it. Thus Transgender is now the new thing to be when you are screwed in the head and need more attention than what you are currently getting. The few transgender people I know of are SERIOUSLY screwed in the head or will do anything to avoid their adult responsibilities. With these type of people if being labeled as a prancing pony was the next level of special attention they would hop on that bandwagon as well.

For the parents that allow their young children to pretend they want to be something they are not, they need punched in the face repeatedly until they stop being idiots. Young kids have zero understanding of what they want for every day life, much less what gender they think they want to be. What is guaranteed is that young kids will leverage whatever they feel is necessary to manipulate the situation to their favor. You can let a young child run the show, or you can run the show as the parent. One method is effective and the other is not, choose wisely.

After reading the ACP article, the first paragraph states the whole premise.


The American College of Pediatricians urges 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.

This sounds like an extension of the whole "drug the kids" mentality. At least the ACP is saying no to the idiocy.

Kids are being hit with too much shit these days. Let them be kids and figure it out for themselves. They don't need adults to fawk it up for them. Straight or otherwise.

Weed. Put it down. Your apparently reading a ton of words that aren't there.
Haven't touched it since I was 16.

You were pointing out events that probably have happened, but are not very common, just like I was. A heterosexual couple is just as likely to abuse an adopted child either physically or psychologically as a homosexual couple.

I do not believe that is statistically correct.
