How did we get to the point of thinking that child mutilation is ok when most of us know it is wrong and counter to science? A man cannot be a woman, ever. It is impossible, but people can be any gender they want in the spectrum of LGBTQ+++++. Adults can mutilate their bodies any way they desire and live with the consequences as they are today. But, when it comes to our kids, it is hands off, and by that I mean no pampering in K-12, trying to aid a child’s desires while they go through puberty and have undeveloped brains. And then hiding the facts from the parents.
People generally accept some of the genders which has taken decades to accomplish, and then the radicals in these groups try to take fantasy to the next level by eliminating and adding parts to the human body. This will never change one’s sex, but that is an adult’s choice. Once again, the red line is our kids, who need to be protected, not brainwashed or led down a path of no return. All IMO.
“To complicate matters further, a video The Free Press reviewed from a February 10 AMA town hall showed the organization’s CEO, Dr. John Whyte, insisting that the board had, in fact, signed off on the published statement about youth gender surgeries.
At the gathering, which was limited to AMA employees, Whyte said that the AMA had publicly sided with the ASPS on youth gender surgery because this “was a position that the board of trustees voted on.” He continued: “Consistent with what the board felt was existing policy is that it generally should be delayed until adulthood.” He deferred responsibility, saying, “I’m not a member of the board.” The AMA did not reply to multiple requests for comment.
Once it appeared clear that The New York Times had, indeed, not misquoted the AMA spokesperson, members of the LGBTQ+ group trained their ire on the AMA’s leadership.
On March 29, Aizuss wrote on the group’s message board that he had addressed the matter “with senior management” and would be discussing it further at the April board meeting. He said that “there continues to be a discrepancy between what the New York Times states they were told and what our communications people say they said.” He added: “If our spokesperson said that the AMA agrees with the ASPS, that was a clear error and was not authorized by the board. He unfortunately does not recall if he used those words.”
For now, as politicians and medical professionals from both sides of the political spectrum are pushing the AMA to take a declarative stand on gender care for minors, the medical society remains in limbo on the matter.
“This was the opportunity,” Dr. Frank Dowling wrote on the message board, “to make our policies clear. [T]his omission profusely saddens me.”
