Pediatrician group speaks out against National Geographic’s 9-year old ‘trans’ cover

“Affirming so called transgender children means sterilizing them as young as 11-years-old,” Dr Cretella told Lifesite News. “Puberty blockers plus cross-sex hormones causes permanent sterility. And biological girls who ‘transition’ to male by taking testosterone may have a double mastectomy at age 16. The life time use of cross-sex hormones also puts these children at risk for stroke, heart disease, diabetes, cancers and more.”

Cretella says that enabling a young child to become a transgender is harmful and based on illogical reasoning. “When a child under the age of 12 thinks they are the opposite sex and is allowed to naturally pass through puberty, 75%-95% of the time that child will accept his or her biological sex by the late teen years.”

She also added that the American College of Pediatrician’s position is that medical facilities supporting a child’s “transgenderism” is basically child abuse.

“When academic, medical and other public institutions propagate the lifetime use of toxic hormones and the surgical removal of healthy body parts as healthcare for children, they are engaged in institutionalized child abuse,” Cretella said.

Agreed. It is child abuse.

It's just so stupid. My friend's daughter wanted to be called "Steve" when she was little. She is now in college and wrestles - and rocks a dress. She's a girl through and through but not a frilly fluffy girl but a girl who gets down and dirty digging ditches on missions trips but will sit and cry with you when you are sad. And that's totally fine! She was never a "boy" - but a girl who is just a little off the norm. I love that kid!

Thank you for that, Annsni. Cedarville alum Dr. Warren Throckmorton explains that this tiny "American College of Pediatrician's" is something quite different than a professional organization such as the American Academy of Pediatrics:

Yep - they are a small group of very conservative pediatricians. I agree with some of what they say and I believe that there was something I didn't agree with but I don't remember what it was. LOL
