Hope link works.

The policy statement, authored by Johns Hopkins Medical School Psychology Professor Paul McHugh, listed eight arguments on why gender reclassification is harmful.

1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of health – not genetic markers of a disorder.
2. No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender (an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female) is a sociological and psychological concept; not an objective biological one.
3. A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking. When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such.
4. Puberty is not a disease and puberty-blocking hormones can be dangerous. Reversible or not, puberty-blocking hormones induce a state of disease – the absence of puberty – and inhibit growth and fertility in a previously biologically healthy child.
5. According to the DSM-V, as many as 98% of gender confused boys and 88% of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty.
6. Children who use puberty blockers to impersonate the opposite sex will require cross-sex hormones in late adolescence. Cross-sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen) are associated with dangerous health risks including but not limited to high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke and cancer.
7. Rates of suicide are twenty times greater among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery, even in Sweden which is among the most LGBQT – affirming countries.

Not sure of the source of that mind you

Ah it's possible that the "college" is not the official "academy" - apologies. I've no idea where this group sit.

Unfortunately that's not one of the big/influential organisations in the field.

The ACP are not a reliable source, they obfuscate the number of members, have 1 full time employee as far as anyone can tell and mostly campaign against the rights of gay couples to adopt. Oh and they believe in gay conversion therapy.

Ok completely unreliable and homophobic source. Apologies.

They have been classified as a hate group

Date Founded 2002
Location Gainesville, Florida
Ideology Anti-LGBT
ACPeds opposes adoption by LGBT couples, links homosexuality to pedophilia, endorses so-called reparative or sexual orientation conversion therapy for homosexual youth, believes transgender people have a mental illness and has called transgender health care for youth child abuse.

Easy done OP, I'd have mistaken it for the AAP at a glance too- they clearly want to mislead.

Perhaps worth asking for a takedown of the thread?

Paul McHugh has been working in this area since the 70s. He shares the concerns many of us do about turning healthy individuals into lifelong medical patients.

I don't know in what way he is associated with this group. He doesn't appear on their 'about us' page.

They have been classified as a hate group - by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

There was some controversy over the SPLC in the past couple of years, I can't recall quite why, but I suspect that they are another organisation like Stonewall; with a strong reputation of anti-discrimination, pissed away by their recent heads chasing the funding.

It's the problem with US organisations, we're not totally familiar with them or their reputation. It's often hard to know who are to be trusted.

SPLC controversy:

As far as I know, ACPeds are also anti-choice, anti-contraception, anti-sex outside marriage, anti-divorce ... funny how those things are not mentioned on their SPLC hate group listing.

The fact that this is from a site called "The Daily Clown" perhaps should have been a clue that the story wasn't what it purported to be.
