The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) launched a new “biological integrity” initiative this week with the aim of exposing the dangers of transgender procedures on children.
The move has put together online resources for teens, physicians, schools, policymakers, and parents whose children struggle with gender dysphoria.
“We have been receiving increasing demands to provide clarity and support on the gender dysphoria issue and it is our hope that the Biological Integrity Initiative will be a valuable, practical resource for everyone involved. The term biological integrity denotes living in consistency with one’s natural, biological self — the integrated whole of body and mind. Children and adolescents should be loved, and taught to love themselves, as wholly male or female. Children are always born in the right body,” ACPeds Executive Director Dr. Jill Simons said in a statement.
Also apart of the initiative includes physicians from ACPeds looking to testify across the country on the topic of gender dysphoria and working to publish more research and position statements on the topic.
“The massive push we are seeing for children to become the targets of experimental, life-altering drugs and surgeries is ideological in nature, directly opposed to biological reality, antithetical to good medical practice, and deeply disturbing to doctors who have devoted their lives to ethical, compassionate care for their most vulnerable patients — children,” ACPeds President Dr. Michael Artigues said.
From The Daily Wire:
In the last year, about 20 states have passed laws shielding kids from being given puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries like double mastectomies on girls who identify as boys.
