Pediatricians Call on Major Medical Groups To Stop Pushing Gender Transition Craze on Children

A group of pediatricians called on major medical associations to stop promoting harmful gender ideology and medical procedures on children.

Dr. Jill Simmons, Executive Director of the American College of Pediatricians, delivered a powerful statement last week calling out by name numerous medical institutions for pushing gender transition procedures on vulnerable and confused children.

“It is time that these American medical institutions follow the science and the lead of our European professional colleagues and cease to promote protocols that harm children, including the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex,” she said at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

“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 ACPeds group released a Doctors Protecting Children Declaration affirming certain innate biological realities and exposing the harmful consequences of irreversible gender treatments like hormones and surgeries.
