This, among other reasons, is why I left the AAP. They are not there to protect children, and are supporting something that is blatantly causing harm, while claiming they have evidence that it does not, and worse, telling parents if they don’t support a confused child in transitioning, the parents are harming the child. The rapidity that this change in medical care happened to being not even a blip on the radar when my kids were teens to an apparent social contagion could only have happened by some sort of agenda. Thank you for what you are doing.
Thank you for giving your insight as a former AAP member. Why do you think so many others in that organization have not thought critically about the rapid change?
Why did the American Academy of Pediatrics remove a group of mothers and detransitioners from the exhibit hall at their most recent convention? Possible answers:
A) They know the scientific basis for their position on gender dysphoria is unsound.
B) They are catering to the Ruling Class, by having a high-ranking member of the Biden Administration, who is their poster child for an aggressive policy of sterilizing minor children, (ie. Richard Levine, who calls himself "Rachel," as their keynote speaker.
C) They are craven cowards who can't face even the slightest bit of criticism of their policies.
Amen!! That “man” (Biden’s appointee who will carry on as Kamala’s) is a joke. What serious person in any field can take such a person seriously. It’s like some demented parody.
What’s up is down, etc.
The worst of the Roman Empire can’t top what we’re enduring today.
I just read (via Notes here & Substack) a piece “explaining” pedophilia & condoning it. Of course the writer had settings that disallowed comments. But someone posted a link so I had my say there.
I still am in shock about what I just read. I’d read some of the author’s sick justifications before in materials about the topic; but I’m not the context of how “misguided” & really manipulative such arguments are.
I almost feel so dirty I need a shower.
These types are among by us & it’s a horrible thought.
Doctors need to start building trust again with their patients and the public. Perhaps it is time for those professionals who are questioning the decisions of the AAP to form collectives in their specific disciplines to challenge the highly politicized associations and medical boards that govern their practices and form new alliances like the Frontline Doctors did during covid for the vaccine injured. Pam, do you know of the Radically Genuine Podcast hosted by Dr. Roger McFillin? He has a substack and is forming a new collective of mental health professionals. Check him out.
I just recently discovered Dr. McFillin, and I hope that he and others like him will grow in influence and open people's eyes to the dangers of psychiatric medications and the alternatives to medicating those who are affected by depression and anxiety. It's too bad that seemingly few have heeded the warnings that Dr. Peter Breggin has been sounding since the early 90s.
So grateful you gave your voice & let’s hope those that listened spread the concerns. Sounds promising but also somewhat devastating how clueless they are
If only they were aware of the acute pain & rifts in families that this causes, perhaps they would pursue less invasive interventions
WOW. Just wow. It's amazing to me that doctors will just prescribe and surgerize patientswith a 15 min assessment visit and virtually no knowledge base. When did we start THAT?
Interestingly, my adult daughter developed issues from what we believe is Lyme disease( not sure because we'll doctors won't test for it) and she was labeled as having psychosis despite physical symptoms. THAT group of doctors refused to treat her based on her mental health. Ironic.
I'm glad when I was little no one wanted to cut off my leg and cut out my eye because I felt I was a pirate
This reinforces the idea which we know to be true: for the most part, people who oppose laws and systems that encourage the gender transitioning of minors do so out of concern for those children, not out of hatred for them.
‘So many of you, those that are truly independent thinkers, if you allowed yourself to realize how truly moronic every doctor you’ve ever met is, you not only would never speak to them again, you would put a leash on them.
One that could be seen and held.
In contrast to the intellectual choke collars the medical schools put on each of them.
It is so obvious that the gender ideology is authoritarian as it gets. They do not want any information to get out that in any way is critical to their views , so they kick out anyone with a different view. Stalinism is alive and well in this cult!

E) All of the above.

All of the above.
The AAP is promoting medical malpractice on the order of frontal and prefrontal lobotomies.
The academy ought to be sued into bankruptcy.
Richard Levine is likely a pedophile.
This is another reason why it is mandatory to elect DJT POTUS & throw these bastards out.

Well put, ! The pirate thing is spot on!!
Well done. Glad you were able to open at least a few people’s eyes.
Bravo, Pamela! I will restack this, for sure!
Thank you!
My pleasure. Keep up the good work.
Stay strong, keep going, reality will eventually re-assert itself, unfortunately this will take more time.
