[quote]In a statement issued last month, the American College of Pediatricians (ACP) urged educators and legislators to reject policies favoring transgenderism, saying unequivocally, "Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse."
Although the statement was issued February 2 according to CNS News, the full peer-reviewed statement is expected to be released in the summer of 2016. It has so far elicited unanimous support from most health organizations and news sites; however, far-left critics dismissed the group of medical doctors as a “Christian lobby group”because it does not agree with the trans political agenda.

If I chop off my arm because "it's not suppose to be there" then I am mentally ill. If I pour bleach in my eyes because "I am suppose to be blind" then I am mentally ill. If I chop off my genitalia, I am brave?

1 commentaireI'm so glad there's still groups out there not buying in to this bullshit. It doesn't take a professional to know that telling a kid they can be whatever gender they want from an extremely earlier age will -blam!- up their sense of belonging to their gender as well as their social development

Do I even have to point out how flawed that is?

1 commentaireI know of a Pakistani man in my area, who beat his eight year old son to within an inch of his life, because he told him that his friend said that he was his boyfriend. The friend is from a household where his sister is now (trans) a boy with a penis, his brother is homosexual and his parents are both bisexual. The parents of the friend say that they're proud of their sons for being "proud gays", may I just add that the child is seven years old. Two clear cases of child abuse, firstly a child being encouraged to be gay purely for copying what he sees at home, and secondly a child nearly beaten to death based on bronze age traditions.

16 commentairesAlso, let's not confuse the American College of Pediatricians with the American Academy of Pediatrics. The ACP is just another right-wing religious group. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/warrenthrockmorton/2011/10/06/the-american-college-of-pediatricians-versus-the-american-academy-of-pediatrics-who-leads-and-who-follows/

Modifié par car15 : 4/13/2016 6:31:30 PMI'm actually pro-trans. I think people should be allowed to do whatever they want to their own bodies. If that means you want to blind yourself, then go for it. Hell, if that means you want to kill yourself, then step right up. It's your life. It's your body. Who am I to dictate what you can and can't do to your own body? (There's a whole separate debate about whether society should be forced to accommodate transgendered people, but I'm not going to get into that here.) Having established my pro-trans stance, I actually agree with this. Children should not be allowed to make decisions of this nature. Once they turn 18, it's up to them to determine what happens to their own bodies, but until that point, they simply do not have the mental capacity to consider the issue properly and make an informed decision. I'm not just pulling this out of my ass. It has been scientifically proven that children's brains are not fully developed and that their capacity for rational decision-making does not mature until much later in life. That is why they require the presence of parents and guardians to guide them through adolescence. And if the parents are the ones making these decisions on their children's behalf, that should not be allowed either because it's not something that another person can decide for you. It has to come from [i]you[/i], and you have to be mature enough to understand what you're doing. tl;dr: I'm pro-trans, but it should not be legal for children to undergo gender transitioning (whether by their "choice" or their parents) because they aren't mature enough to consider the issue fully.

14 commentairesModifié par Lynx7386 : 4/12/2016 1:37:06 PMA hundred years ago, there was no such thing as transgender. This is a modern concept based solely on a fetish. You are male, or you are female. That is the only natural perogative. Everything else is psychologically induced by society. So yes, raising children under the misconception that they could be something they aren't is child abuse. Sure, there were a few times as a younger man where i fantasized about what it would be like to have been a female. Does that mean I actually think I'm stuck in the wrong body? Hell no.

4 commentairesPeople do realize that fascism is a direct response to the far left, right? The more polarized the left becomes with this bullshit narrative that all white men are rich bastards and all minorities are an oppressed group the more the right will polarize to combat it. In the end the libtards will have brought about their own demise as a new Hitler rises from the fray and takes control of the Western hemisphere. By the time liberals figure this out it will be too late. So go ahead, keep pressing the narrative that being transgendered is normal and coming out should be encouraged. Sooner or later somebody even more radical than you is going to make a stand, and life for you is going to be worse than if Trump gets elected in your eyes.

8 commentairesI don't like this. I don't like this one bit. Children don't make decisions like that. At their age, children think about toys, television, and playing. It's not the children making the choices. It's the parents melting it into their mind that they're trans.

Modifié par superassassin364 : 4/12/2016 11:05:26 PMWe shouldn't see it like it's normal, but we sure as hell shouldn't be treating them like absolute garbage physically and mentally and then make the law do so too.

I think I'd agree so far as to say that children should not be left to make the decision of which gender they are simply because they don't know shit about it at that age. I'm not saying force kids to be one or the other. If you have a boy who wants Barbie dolls, by all means buy them for him. I just mean kids are incredibly easily influenced and impulsive. Your biologically male child may say "I wanna be a girl!", but kids also want to eat nothing but candy and sweets and never want to go to bed/clean up after themselves. Children simply don't always know what's best for themselves at younger ages which is why you, as the parent, are raising them and not sending them out to get a job/have all the sex they want. If, when they are older, they maintain that mindset, sure, abide by it. That said, while one doesn't have to beat birth genders into their kids, I would say letting your four year old pick his/her gender is jumping the gun a bit... But, hey, what do I know? I don't have, nor want, children.
