Pushing Transgender Ideology on Kids Is ‘Child Abuse’

A top American Pediatrician says transgender ideology has “infiltrated” her field, and is responsible for “large scale child abuse” for what it’s teaching children and parents.

 

“Just a few short years ago, not many could have imagined a high-profile showdown over transgender men and women’s access to single-sex bathrooms in North Carolina,” Michelle Cretella, M.D., president of the American College of Pediatricians, wrote in a commentary for The Daily Signal on Monday.

 

“But transgender ideology is not just infecting our laws. It is intruding into the lives of the most innocent among us — children — and with the apparent growing support of the professional medical community,” she added.

 

Cretella referred to her 2016 peer reviewed article, “Gender Dysphoria in Children and Suppression of Debate,” which warned that professionals who speak out against gender transition therapy for children find themselves “maligned and out of a job.”

 

The American College of Pediatricians president said that doctors once treated gender identity issues as a mental illness, but now many in the medical community promote transgenderism as “normal.”
