Governments should exclude parents who oppose the hormonal and surgical transformation of their children, according to an article published in the establishment Journal of Medical Ethics.
When parents reject their childrens’ claim to be transgender, “parents should lose veto power over most transition-related paediatric care,” wrote author Maura Priest, a candidate professor at Arizona State University. Trained medical scientists should defer to the childrens’ wishes once they decide that the children are “informed and competent”

Gender dysphoria is mental illness! Any person promoting it immediately loses all credibility and should lose any and all licenses to practice. Pushing this crap on a child is abuse.

You cannot drive until you're 16 and even then, at least in Illinois, you're subject to curfew rules. You cannot vote until you're 18. You have to be of a certain age in order to be tried as an adult -- in other words, we don't try children the same way we try adults. You cannot drink until you're 21. Children cannot choose what school they attend or whether to attend school at all; parents and the authorities do that. Children are not legally allowed to choose to have sex with an adult.
All of these rules/laws exist in large part because children are not considered mature enough to make decisions only legally responsible adults are permitted to make. Children have to wait.
So why can't they wait until they are adults for sex change operations? I am not saying having one is wrong; I am not making that determination one way or the other. But why can't children wait until they are adults and decide as legally responsible adults? What is unethical about that?

I understand that doctors and med educators should be allowed their own political opinions. But formal childhood transitioning with drugs, social positioning, and surgeries are unproven therapies with unclear benefits and risks. Further such therapies are largely irreversible with great potential for serious harms both physical and psychiatric. When a journal publishes what passes for opinion under the banner of being a peer-reviewed article it is endorsing the opinion and ntaking a side in an ongoingg debate. I find this reprehensible,

Journal of Medical Ethics. Now that's an oxymoron! Base on this logic, if kids want to have sex with pedophiles, parents have no voice. Start Heroin at age 6? Sure is 'ethical' without parental approval. What can't a child do based on this logic? I wish adults had that much freedom.

Pay attention parents, they are coming for your children. I don't recognize the country I grew up in right now. I wonder what the democRATS and the leftoids, if left unchecked, will have the USA looking like in another twenty years. Better pay attention to who you let cheat in elections.

What does 'ethics' have to do with the current state of medicine in this country? Most doctors are nothing but pimps for Big Pharma.

When a child is shown competent to make the decision to mutilate themselves to be cool? That’s right in-line with I’m really a woman look at my P***s. The emperor is naked!

I'm tired of these freaks dictating to us. We need to hit back and hit back hard. Especially with these feminazi types that have become the mouthpiece of the Democrat party. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are doing a good job. However, we could use many more to support them and to protect our children.

Maura Priest is described as a "professor candidate" at a publicly funded university. Based on this alone her candidacy should be vetoed. We already have a surplus of leftist nutcase "professors". Let her pedal her trash OFF the public dime.

We have been programmed (mostly by TV) to think that the homosexual lobby is a nice, warm fuzzy and kind group or citizens.
In truth, all they want is sex -- with your children and with whomever they decide.
We need Sodomy laws again.

Trained medical professionals? Are you referring to "Shrinks"? If so, forget it. Most psychologists and Psychiatrists have mental issues of their own and studied the field to figure out what is wrong with themselves. To encourage a child/young adult under the age of 25 to go through gender transition is criminal. In addition, it is an incredible burden on our health care system for both physician and medical resources which can be better used to help treat real illness.
If someone over that age still wants to transition then they can pick up the tab and have it done. it should not be covered by insurance any more than cosmetic surgery is.

Too many 'experts' and 'authorities' are incapable of respecting proper boundaries with regard to our children. Parents have a sacred obligation to provide for AND DIRECT the rearing of their children. Others are welcome to buzz off.

Studies that have been done of transgendered people who have had sex reassignment surgery, people who have been followed for 20 or so years have found that after 10 years from the surgery, that their suicide mortality rate was actually 20 times higher than the non-transgendered population.
Gender dysphoria is, indeed, a mental illness.

Left wing-approved intervention is always allowed. Trans intervention and abortion are both the darlings of the liberals at the moment. You have to approve an aspirin for your high school senior but abortions and trans hormone therapy can be facilitated by teachers and social workers for much younger kids.
Funny how gay conversion therapy is a no-no but an actual surgical mutilation is acceptable.

Does this woman have children? Would she like it if WE decide what is right for her children? Children are not lab rats. There are more rules for lab animals than there are for our children Ditto on HANDS OFF OUR KIDS!

When you find yourself totally incredulous about the utter stupidity in academia and media and politics, just think for a sec about who is graduating out of today's institutions and what has been plugged into their unthinking brains.
New "woke" graduates fill editorial boards where objectivity is viewed as too hard or too mean whether in the news business or in choosing manuscripts for publishing companies; medical journals governed by people who have no grounding in medicine or ethics because it just isn't fair, or parenthood is obsolete. The hard sciences are beginning to succumb to what's fashionable rather than to the pursuit of the data, the facts, the truth.
That's just an iceberg tip. But we are on the precipice of nightmarish future imminently.

I wonder what will happen when the current fad of identifying as LGBTQ or Trans to be socially accepted ends and all of these underage trans kids decide "never mind", I'm not trans after all, switch me back. The damage will be done and lasting (physically an psychologically). These medical activists are causing a lot more damage than they are "helping" these kids.

The once sane institutions that were guardians of science & true ethics have been taken over by ACTIVISTS! Please educate yourselves about how & what these fools are up to! The Activism is all rooted in Marxism & Critical Theory. The aim is to destroy the nuclear family (especially white males, i.e. continuity of the patriarchy) which is the bedrock of a civilized society. Some of the doctors that do the so called research on this are Activists - Douglas Murray compared one of Trans health care conferences to a cult meeting. I have been following this Trans phenomenon since seeing (on You Tube) the Heritage Foundation conference from a few years back. That was very informative. Also look for Benjamin Boyce who has interviewed a number of people impacted by the Trans lunacy. A few days ago he had a young man who had been castrated because he had been convinced he was a female in a male body. It was terrible. The kid had been taught in high school all sorts of distortions about sex. He got to college and believed the lies being spread by the activists. Even in elementary school Activists are setting the curriculum, teaching that humans have no sexual dimorphism. To them there is no male & female, or they say that sex is a 'spectrum', or that people can be 'non-binary' or be 'gender' fluid. They demand that sex roles are only a 'social construct'. It is wrong scientifically & morally. It is lying to kids.
