The American College of Paediatricians (ACP) has called for an end to the normalising of transgenderism (gender dysphoria), arguing that it is leading to the “criminal” harming of children. In a statement, the College points to the risks posed by intrusive medical intervention, criticising the prevalence of these treatments despite lack of scientific and medical evidence, while research shows that the majority of dysphoria cases resolve themselves.The ACPs Dr Michelle Cretella says: “We live at a time in which social agendas often bias the results of research and lead to the development of false medical standards. Those who honourably speak out against this are chastised. Young children are being permanently sterilised and surgically maimed under the guise of treating a condition that would otherwise resolve in over 80% of them. This is criminal.”
