Pediatrician Organization Seeks to Shut Down Transgender Conversation

I recently wrote about one of the biggest red flags of all:  Those who seek to shut down conversation on important topics.  Now this news regarding efforts by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to shut down conversation regarding the proper treatment for those seeking advice and treatment for transgender issues.

[US BREAKING NEWS: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is suppressing support for Resolution 27, a call by member pediatricians for "rigorous systematic review of evidence and policy update for management of pediatric gender dysphoria". Our response].  

Here is an excerpt from Genspect's open letter to AAP:

Having a combative teenager who urgently insists on something or makes risky choices is not a new development for any parent of an adolescent. What is new is that professionals to whom we have entrusted our kids, rather than safeguarding them from harm and helping heal parental-child rifts so common in teen years, are encouraging our kids to act on their risky, impulsive decisions with irreversible consequences.

About Surviving Cancer

Caitlin Flanagan has been a cancer survivor for 20 years. She wrote the following in "I’LL TELL YOU THE SECRET OF CANCER: It’s been almost 20 years since my diagnosis, and I’ve learned quite a bit:

When I began to understand that attitude doesn’t have anything to do with survival, I felt myself coming up out of deep water. I didn’t cause my cancer by having a bad attitude, and I wasn’t going to cure it by having a good one. And then Coscarelli told me the whole truth about cancer. If you’re ready, I will tell it to you. Cancer occurs when a group of cells divide in rapid and abnormal ways. Treatments are successful if they interfere with that process. That’s it, that’s the whole equation.

Krystal and Saagar Offer Non-Partisan Discussion of COVID

I often look forward to hearing the nonparisan analysis of the news offered by Saagar and Krystal. On this episode they talk about COVID in ways you will not hear on left-leaning or right-leaning legacy news outlets. You'll hear their views on the segments re the TV show, "The View," and on Saagar's own segment. They love the vaccines but are opposed to mandates. They believe that masks should be optional. They shoot down the hyperbole that we are hearing from the right and the left and they are highly critical of Fauci's arbitrary targets. They offer some statistics that I hadn't heard before, e.g., children are more like to die of the flu than COVID, which means they should be back in school. They urge that it's time for America to move on, as many Americans are now doing.

Krystal and Saagar also offer a worrisome segment about Joe Biden's physical and political performance (they have applauded Biden's decision re Afghanistan, and I agree). If you are trapped in the FOX bubble or the NPR/NYT/WP bubble, I recommend that you listen to an episode of Breaking Points.
