I don’t know why it took this long, but The American College of Pediatricians has issued a statement calling out major medical associations by name for pushing the trans-delusional sorcery on children.
The full statement from the ACP:
“Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 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. Instead, these 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. We also encourage the 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 ACP links to MANY studies here.
Doctors and healthcare leaders have signed the Doctors Protecting Children Declaration to urge ethical care for children with gender dysphoria. Watch the press conference + sign at: https://t.co/x7CPQxGsQG #DoctorsProtectingChildren pic.twitter.com/zypzS1TLkY
