BREAKING: Johns Hopkins & American College of Pediatricians Formerly Denounce Sex-Change Procedures

[PaintMyHouse]

Nope. And I just killed the OP. Perfectly healthy junk but it's on the wrong X?, off it goes. XY is male right? XX, female? So, a female baby with a dick and balls, into the fire goes the junk. Better for ya now?

Sure it is, because in your child's world XX is always female, and XY male, only in the real world, that isn't true...

The OP is about normal XX XY kids with normal bodies that go along with the DNA. Your rare genetic exceptions belong in a "medical anomalies" thread.

You swab their cheek, take them in for a physical exam. If the junk matches the DNA, the next and last referral is to the psychiatrist's couch.

No, they completely defeat your argument. If you can't deal with the real world then fuck you. And take that other **** with you.

The real world consists of 1. Normal boys and girls with normal XY & XX presentation and morphology, and 2. Abnormal boys and girls with abnormal XY & XX etc. presentation and morphology. This thread is about #1.

No, it's about gender, which you cannot define.

PUBLIC LAW 93-247 - Jan. 31, 1974

[Page 5]
Sec. 3. For purposes of this Act the term "child abuse and neglect" means the physical or mental injury, sexual abuse, negligent treatment, or maltreatment of a child under the age of eighteen by a person who is responsible for the child's welfare under circumstances which indicate that the child's health or welfare is harmed or threatened thereby, as determined in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary.

[Page 6]

(b) (1) Of the sums appropriated under this Act for any fiscal year, not less than 5 per centum and not more than 20 per centum may be used by the Secretary for making grants to the States for the payment of reasonable and necessary expenses for the purpose of assisting the States in developing, strengthening, and carrying out child abuse and neglect prevention and treatment programs.

(2)In order for a State to qualify for assistance under this subsection, such State shall--
(A) have in effect a State child abuse and neglect law which shall include provisions for immunity for persons reporting instances of child abuse and neglect from prosecution, under any State or local law, arising out of such reporting;

(B) provide for the reporting of known and suspected instances of child abuse and neglect;

(C) provide that upon receipt of a report of known or suspected instances of child abuse or neglect an investigation shall be initiated promptly to substantiate the accuracy of the report, and, upon finding of abuse or neglect, immediate steps shall be taken to protect the health and welfare of the abused or neglected child, as well as that of any other child under the same care who may be in danger of abuse or neglect;

(D) demonstrate that there are in effect throughout the State, in connection with the enforcement of child abuse and neglect laws and with the reporting of suspected instances of child abuse and neglect, such administrative procedures, such personnel trained in child abuse and neglect prevention and treatment, such training procedures, such institutional and other facilities (public and private), and such related multidisciplinary programs and services as may be necessary or appropriate to assure that the State will deal effectively with child abuse and neglect cases in the State;

(E) provide for methods to preserve the confidentiality of all records in order to protect the rights of the child, his parents or guardians;

(F) provide for the cooperation of law enforcement officials, courts of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate State agencies providing human services;

(G) provide that in every case involving an abused or neglected child which results in a judicial proceeding a guardian ad litem shall be appointed to represent the child in such proceedings;

(H) provide that the aggregate of support for programs or projects related to child abuse and neglect assisted by State funds shall not be reduced below the level provided during fiscal year 1973, and set forth policies and procedures designed to assure that Federal funds made available under this Act for any fiscal year will be so used as to supplement and, to the extent practicable, increase the level of State funds which would, in the absence of Federal funds, be available for such programs and projects;

(I) provide for dissemination of information to the general public with respect to the problem of child abuse and neglect and the facilities and prevention and treatment methods available to combat instances of child abuse and neglect; and

(J) to the extent feasible; insure that parental organizations combating child abuse and neglect receive preferential treatment.

No one is worried about the views of your loons, Sil.

And ask them to explain XY females and XX males, then XXY XXXY, XYY, XYYY, XXYY, and X0. TY...

See #1 in the OP. They already explained. Genetic testing can be conducted easily to determine if there is an ACTUAL abnormality or an imagined one.

What in the fuck are you talking about?

Is this more of that famous Sil logic?

Oh irony.

Here's the quote from the OP since you seem incapable of reading on your own:

****

1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of health – not genetic markers of a disorder. The norm for human design is to be conceived either male or female. Human sexuality is binary by design with the obvious purpose being the reproduction and flourishing of our species. This principle is self-evident. The exceedingly rare disorders of sex development (DSDs), including but not limited to testicular feminization and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, are all medically identifiable deviations from the sexual binary norm, and are rightly recognized as disorders of human design. Individuals with DSDs do not constitute a third sex.1

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. No one is born with an awareness of themselves as male or female; this awareness develops over time and, like all developmental processes, may be derailed by a child’s subjective perceptions, relationships, and adverse experiences from infancy forward. People who identify as “feeling like the opposite sex” or “somewhere in between” do not comprise a third sex. They remain biological men or biological women.2,3,4

What gender is an XY who looks like a normal girl, male or female...

 

[koshergrl]

See #1 in the OP Paint. It says that there are extremely rare exceptions to xx and xy presentations. Chromosomal disorders are not in the same abuse class a xx or xy normal kids coerced into physical and mental damage by the LGBT cult and their friends in high places.

No, the only damage being caused is by the bigotry and hate common to the social right, along with their fear of diversity and expressions of individual liberty.

It's their fear of science and rational thought in this case. God, and nature, unlike people like Sil, are not simpletons...

"Gender cannot be at real risk because it is anchored in an immutable reality. What is on the cards is oppression, socially engineered dysfunction and the loss of individual freedom."

"From divorce and lone parenthood to gay marriage, what was once regarded as a source of disadvantage or category error has been transformed into a human right. In the process, compassion has turned into oppression."

It’s dangerous and wrong to tell all children they’re ‘gender fluid’

The topic is normal kids with normal bodies that match normal XX or XY DNA. Take your strawman to another thread.

 

[Silhouette]

It’s dangerous and wrong to tell all children they’re ‘gender fluid’

I thought it would be helpful to post a snippet here from your link:


It’s dangerous and wrong to tell all children they’re ‘gender fluid’
What started as a baffling skirmish on the wilder shores of victim culture has now turned into something more menacing

Thus Miller and her colleagues do two things: display callous denial of the tragic condition of such unfortunates, and set up the basis for state-mandated coercion.

Their prime target, of course, will be children, whose young minds can be so easily manipulated. Trans and gender issues, says the committee, should be taught in schools as part of personal, social and health education.

We can all predict what will happen. Gender fluidity will be actively promoted as just another lifestyle choice. Under the commendable guise of stopping the minute number of transgender children being bullied, the rest of the class will be bullied into accepting the prescribed orthodoxy — that gender is mutable, and any differentiation in value between behaviour or attitudes is bigoted and prohibited.

The intention is to break down children’s sense of what sex they are and also wipe from their minds any notion of gender norms. In American schools, last November’s Transgender Awareness Month was a festival of such indoctrination. Children were handed out ‘pronoun buttons’, badges which identified their own preferred personal pronouns as specific to any gender they chose or none....

...
prepubescent children who begin imitating the opposite sex are being treated by misguided doctors with puberty-delaying hormones to render later sex-change surgery less onerous — even though such drugs stunt children’s growth and risk causing sterility. These are the very drugs that the Miller committee wants the specialist Tavistock gender clinic to prescribe to children with less delay.

These MPs are turning gender confusion from a health issue into a political statement to be enforced. So of course they also want to turn denying or questioning gender fluidity into a hate crime. Certainly, anyone who attacks or threatens people on account of their gender should be prosecuted. But the committee wants ‘stirring up hatred’ against trans people to become a crime — which would include insulting them by saying they belong to the sex they deny.

 

[Conservative65]

What sex is this person, J?

Male.

Really? Wonderful, I always wanted to shower with girls as well as boys and in your world, I'd get to. Tighty whities and pretty panties together? The boys are going to be loving this, I'm not so sure about her? Also, when you're standing at the urinal and she's waiting for a stall (she XY but has always had a vagina), don't wet yourself.

I do appreciate the answer...

If "she's" XY, it's a male.

I can take some spices and all sort of condiments and make chicken shit look and smell like chicken salad. Would you eat it?

Just out of curiosity, how long did the above project take you to accomplish? And what compelled you to do it in the first place?

I didn't say I did. I said I can but only if you'll prove that how someone, or in this case something, looks is what matters. If I can make chicken shit look like chicken salad, will you eat it?

 

[Silhouette]

I didn't say I did. I said I can but only if you'll prove that how someone, or in this case something, looks is what matters. If I can make chicken shit look like chicken salad, will you eat it?

Conservative has a good point here. Often you hear about Trannys wanting to look like the most grotesque stereotype of the extreme of the opposite gender. Just that alone is a large red flag. "Female" isn't always wearing pink, 6 inch stilettos, and talking in schoolgirl falsetto lingo. "Male" isn't always wearing Ben Davis shirts and steel toe boots with a foot long beard with a deep baritone.

In fact, I've made this argument before and the author of the article at the top, and the OP also makes the same: The idea of transsexualism is perverse in that it suggests to children watching (their spongy brains are always watching what we do folks) that "if you exhibit even the slightest deviation from the clownish stereotypical extreme, it's a possibility you could be a boy (or girl) trapped in the wrong body"!

That sets up an insane culture and is crazy making to children who otherwise learn "girls have a womb and boys have stronger, bigger muscles to bring home the bacon while child raising is going on". Our bodies and temperaments are different for a reason within our sex's spectrum. You can be a number of things and still be quite female. You can be a number of things and still be quite male. In fact I hear young men lament sometimes that "Oh, I can't go into design, everyone will think I'm gay...even though they show quite a talent for it" or "I was thinking of being a barber but not anymore; they're all gay now".. It's absurd. And it has to stop. This extreme stereotyping is the opposite of the LGBTs claiming their religion is "the new freedom". It is anything but..

The politics and push for laws to normalize the abnormal just got turned on their head:

Leading medical authorities call coercion of children to use hormones or have 'sex change' surgery "child abuse". Finally the experts grow a pair.

From the official statement: Gender Ideology Harms Children
*****
Gender Ideology Harms Children
March 21, 2016 – a temporary statement with references. A full statement will be published in summer 2016.

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.

1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of health – not genetic markers of a disorder. The norm for human design is to be conceived either male or female. Human sexuality is binary by design with the obvious purpose being the reproduction and flourishing of our species. This principle is self-evident. The exceedingly rare disorders of sex development (DSDs), including but not limited to testicular feminization and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, are all medically identifiable deviations from the sexual binary norm, and are rightly recognized as disorders of human design. Individuals with DSDs do not constitute a third sex.1

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. No one is born with an awareness of themselves as male or female; this awareness develops over time and, like all developmental processes, may be derailed by a child’s subjective perceptions, relationships, and adverse experiences from infancy forward. People who identify as “feeling like the opposite sex” or “somewhere in between” do not comprise a third sex. They remain biological men or biological women.2,3,4

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. These children suffer from gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria (GD), formerly listed as Gender Identity Disorder (GID), is a recognized mental disorder in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-V).5 The psychodynamic and social learning theories of GD/GID have never been disproved.2,4,5

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.6

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.5

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.7,8,9,10

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.11 What compassionate and reasonable person would condemn young children to this fate knowing that after puberty as many as 88% of girls and 98% of boys will eventually accept reality and achieve a state of mental and physical health?

8. Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse. Endorsing gender discordance as normal via public education and legal policies will confuse children and parents, leading more children to present to “gender clinics” where they will be given puberty-blocking drugs. This, in turn, virtually ensures that they will “choose” a lifetime of carcinogenic and otherwise toxic cross-sex hormones, and likely consider unnecessary surgical mutilation of their healthy body parts as young adults.

And thread 61 in Sil's continuing obsession.

The American College of Pediatrics has like 60 to 200 members, depending on the time of the year. All hard right wing conservatives. With one of its own founding members describing the organization as follows:

"...with Judeo-Christian, traditional values that is open to pediatric medical professionals of all religions who hold true to the group's core beliefs: that life begins at conception; and that the traditional family unit, headed by a different-sex couple, poses far fewer risk factors in the adoption and raising of children."

The American College of Pediatrics is a handful of fringe right pediatricians pushing a religious agenda.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, with 62,000 members from all political persuasions......contradicts the hard right fringe American College of Pediatrics.

The American Psychological Association with 137.000 members contradicts the hard right fringe American College of Pediatrics.

The American Psychiatric Association with its 32,000 members contradicts the hard right fringe American College of Pediatrics.

The National Association of Social Workers with its 132,000 members contradicts the hard right fringe American College of Pediatrics.

The Diagnostics and Statistics Manual of Mental Disorders, the gold standard for what is and isn't a mental disorders contradicts the hard right fringe American College of Pediatrics.

As well as the authors of many of the studies its cites contradicts the hard right fringe American College of Pediatrics.

So your fringe right 'American College of Pediatrics' is contradicted by relevant professionals by a rate from to 6000 to 1 to 1800 to 1.

But where are the links to their specific refuting of what the OP's article says? Remember oh temporally-challenged one..those are past assessments. The OP's proclamation came out two days ago..

Here's the very researcher cited in your list, Dr. Steensma, finding in a follow up study looked at the intensity of dysphoria felt as a factor in persistence, it turned out that it was actually a very good predictor of which children would transition.

Factors associated with desistence and persistence of childhood gender dysphoria: a quantitative follow-up study. - PubMed - NCBI

With Dr. Steensma's follow up findings reaffirmed by other studies that found 'children who meet the clinical guidelines for gender dysphoria are as consistent in their gender identity as the general population."

Gender Cognition in Transgender Children

Here's contradiction by the DSM.

Another study debunking the 'desistance' claims of the fringe right ACP:

http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-01-transgender-kids-gender-identity.html

A study refuting the claims of the fringe right ACP regarding homone blocking, finding instead a positive effect on the psychological health of said children, with no significant permanent consequences or side effects:

Young Adult Psychological Outcome After Puberty Suppression and Gender Reassignment | Articles | Pediatrics

With the Endrocrine Society in a research study of the effects of hormones on chilren with gender dysphoria found that depression and anxiety improve greatly with recognition and treatment of gender dysphoria.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150308091402.htm?

With the very researcher cited above regarding 'regret rates', even the author of the study was frustrated with the way it was misrepresented. As the conclusions that are drawn by the fringe right ACP are explicitly contradicted by the study:

For the purpose of evaluating whether sex reassignment is an effective treatment for gender dysphoria, it is reasonable to compare reported gender dysphoria pre and post treatment. Such studies have been conducted either prospectively or retrospectively, and suggest that sex reassignment of transsexual persons improves quality of life and gender dysphoria.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Transsexual Persons Undergoing Sex Reassignment Surgery: Cohort Study in Sweden

Here's the interview where Dr. Dhejne herself personally shreds the misrepresentations of her study by people like the fringe right ACP:

Fact check: study shows transition makes trans people suicidal

And her follow up study that found that regret rates for those who had gender reassignment surgery between 1970 and 2001.....were only 2.2%. Again, this is your own source.

An Analysis of All Applications for Sex Reassignment Surgery in Sweden, 1960-2010: Prevalence, Incidence, and Regrets

With the 'regret rate' for those who had surgery between 2001-2010 only 0.3%. This too from your own source.

With regret rates of about 1% affirmed here:

With studies showing NONE of the participants regretted their transition (that's a 0.0% regret rate)
