Being a Kid is hard enough as it is, Thank You; American College of Pediatricians 'Gender Ideology Harms Children'

Being a Kid is hard enough as it is, I know I'll get comments about how I don't understand and all of that, no I guess I don't understand I've never wanted to be anything but the way I came into this world as.  Just because little Noah or Emma (just names I picked) want to play dress up as a king/princess, cowboy/cowgirl, nurse/doctor, football player/cheerleader  doesn't determine that they want to be a different sex from that moment on then what they where born as.

What Is The Difference Between Transsexual And Transgender? Facebook’s New Version Of ‘It’s Complicated’

  

While growing up and still even today I have more friends of the opposite sex, not because I want to be that sex but because I've always gotten along with them well and not as much drama and other things as many others feel the same way, and I know for a fact we have no desire to be the other sex.

Gender identity disorder in children: will Jack be happier if we all pretend he’s Jill? 

 The Precursor to Transgender Conflicts

Most youth who identify as a person of the opposite sex had a gender identity disorder (GID) when they were children. This is a childhood psychiatric disorder in which there is a strong and persistent cross-gender identification with at least four of the following preferences: 

(a) repeated stated desire to be of the opposite sex
(b) in boys, a preference for cross-dressing or simulating female attire and, in girls, wearing stereotypical masculine clothing and a rejection of feminine clothing such as skirts
(c) a strong and persistent preferences for cross-sex role in play 
(d) a strong preference for playmates of the opposite sex, and 
(e) an intense desire to participate in games and pastimes of the opposite sex

What Transsexuals Can Teach Heteros

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.



 . Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of health – not genetic markers of a disorder. 

 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. 

  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. 

 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.
