Gender Ideology Harms Children

[Texashiker]

What do you bleeding heart liberals think about this?

http://www.acpeds.org/the-college-speaks/position-statements/gender-ideology-harms-children

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.

About time someone stood up and spoke the truth. Transgender issues are a sign of a mental illness and should be treated as such.

Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse.

The article also says 98% of boys will accept that they are boys after going through puberty. 88% of girls will accept they are girls.

Why should society accept a mental illness as normal?

The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a socially conservative association of pediatricians and other healthcare professionals in the United States.

Do you have an authority site that disputes the article?

Ooo let me try.

What do you human beings think about this?

http://www.acpeds.org/the-college-sp...harms-children

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.

About time someone stood up and spoke the truth. Children, believe it or not can be fickle, so it's probably best not to take everything they say seriously, that is not to say you shouldn't pay attention to them.


Selective quoting is fun!

It isn't an "article." It is a position statement from a group that believes:

"Of particular importance to the founders were (as it is today) the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death and the importance of the fundamental mother-father family (female-male) unit in the rearing of children. The first official meeting of the newly formed college was held in Boston in October 2002. Since its inception, it has grown to have membership representation across the U.S. and in several other countries. "

You posting this is no different than going to any Super-PAC or other political entity and posting their thoughts on a subject.

Good job Riprorin on another troll thread.

The article was written by three doctors.

Do you have something that disputes the article?

Do we need an authority to refute the Flat Earth theory?
I am beginning to think all your railling is from stuck in the closet envy.

Are you a medical doctor?

Do not attempt to discredit the source because you disagree with the statement.

 

[alien42]

serious question for you TH.

what about all the intersexed Americans where the line isn't so black and white?

http://www.isna.org/faq/frequency

why do these doctors completely ignore them?

 

[Texashiker]

serious question for you TH.

what about all the intersexed Americans where the line isn't so black and white?

Lets not derail the thread.

The article in the opening post, written by medical doctors states transgenderism in children is child abuse.

Do you have anything to dispute it?

i wasn't derailing the thread, now do you care to answer the question?

the entire problem here is that you see the world as black and white, on and off, and there is no grey area for you, despite reality.

The article in the op is about binary gender as being man or female.

How does your question have anything to do with the op?

 

[JSt0rm]

lol TH threads will go on forever with retardation. Just stop now.

 

[abj13]

The article was written by three doctors.

Do you have something that disputes the article?

Yeah. I do have something written by the American Academy of Pediatrics, an organization that the MAJORITY of pediatricians are a part of.

"Thus, rather than force your child into the mold of current or traditional gender behavior, help him or her fulfill his or her own unique potential. Don't become excessively concerned with whether your child's interests and strengths coincide with the socially defined gender roles of the moment"

https://www.healthychildren.org/Eng...dentity-and-Gender-Confusion-In-Children.aspx

And the AAP's policy statement on Office-Based Care for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Youth
http://pediatrics.aappublications.o...html?sid=6c97d38a-0558-4491-9447-0e4b4aa04cc4

I will gladly accept an organization that represents the vast majority of pediatricians across the country over "three doctors" from an obviously politically motivated policy statement.

Another dumb post Riprorin.

Another dumb post Riprorin.

From the link you posted,

Homophobia perceived by LGBTQ youth may lead to self-destructive behaviors.

How does that explain higher than normal suicide rates in nations who accept lgbt youths, such as sweden?

Suicide is linked to mental illness.

The article you linked to says lgbt adults can lead happy lives, which is not true. Even as adults they have suicide rates much higher than hetrosexuals

Suicide is linked to mental illness.

Next time Riprorin, if you are going to quote something, why don't you quote the words that come right after it?

"Societal homophobia is reflected in the higher rates of bullying and violence suffered by sexual minority youth. With proper support and guidance, the majority of LGBTQ youth emerge as adults with sexual identities that are associated with little or no significant increase in risk behaviors compared with other youth. These resilient young adults lead happy, productive lives."

And your assumption that certain nations accept Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Youth is nothing but conjecture. If you want to quote Sweden PLOS study, they even reject your stupid assumption. And please, since you claim to have read the Swedish PLOS study, explain to all of us, why do all these other do not find an increase in overall mortality in people who undergo sex reassignment?

[Texashiker]

The article you linked to is VERY misleading.

Suicide risk: 12-19% of LGB adults vs. 4.6% of all U.S. adults.

http://www.ccsme.org/userfiles/files/1Haas - jh web.pdf

Productive lives when they are 3 - 4 times more likely to commit suicide as adults than the general population?

Gays in a same sex relationship are much more likely to commit suicide than heterosexuals.

It's weird how the increasingly-rare TH thread can now be considered refreshing among the current detritus that piles up around here.

 

[sm625]

Why should society accept a mental illness as normal?

Because there is money in it for someone. In this case the money comes from the fact that simply introducing this garbage into a social group dumbs down that entire group, in much the same way introducing children of single mothers on welfare into a school dumbs down the test scores of the entire school. Dumbed down kids grow up to be dumbed down adults who do not pay attention to all the crooked dealings between legislators and wall street. This = big profits.
