Thirteen state attorneys general have cautioned United States Attorney General Merrick Garland not to prosecute critics of child gender change procedures.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Children’s Hospital Association, and the American Medical Association, together with other left-wing medical organizations, wrote to Garland requesting that he look into and punish anybody who disagrees with their methods for treating gender dysphoria in children.
The attorneys general, led by Tennessee’s Jonathan Skrmetti, wrote: “You cannot and should not conduct such investigations or prosecutions.”
The attorneys general argue that the medical establishment is worried about how their medical treatment regime is being portrayed by its opponents and is attempting to silence them.
The letter adds that “the president of the CHA targets’ misleading and inflammatory remarks that result in threats. No doubt, medical groups object to the labeling of minors’ double mastectomies as ‘mutilation’ or ‘cutting healthy breasts off juvenile girls,’ or hormone therapies as ‘chemical castration.'”
“These descriptions have the potential to incite and provoke,” they stated. “The First Amendment protects them completely.”
There is a rising number of conservatives who are prepared to discuss the matter bluntly, and who are criticizing physicians for infant genital mutilation and chemical castration.
Skrmetti stated in a news statement, “Now is the moment for greater discourse, not less. Each side must have the chance to assemble facts, present its case, and seek to persuade the American people that its viewpoint is correct. Silencing criticism of present treatment techniques for minors would not make children healthier or safer.”
Doctors that support mutilation and castration argue, as did the AMA, AAP, and CHA in their letter, that they are just “offering evidence-based gender-affirming care.”
While the Florida Medicaid Unit uncovered “insufficient evidence” that hormone therapies, puberty blockers, and mutilation operations are “safe and effective treatments for gender dysphoria,” the medical establishment “endorses a monolithic consensus they portray as impervious to questioning.”
The attorneys general also cited limits imposed in France, Sweden, and the United Kingdom in the aftermath of investigations into the use of such medications and treatments.
“Medical organizations should follow the science, not try to limit public discussion – especially when they’re peddling controversial dogma that might really harm children’s lives,” said Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, chair of the medical watchdog Do No Harm, in a news statement. “The AMA expects us to blindly follow their example, yet these are the same forces who wrongly equate psychiatric treatment for children with ‘conversion therapy’ in order to railroad them down a preset route of medicines and surgery.”
“The wiser course of action is to listen to these state attorneys general and allow this dialogue to continue on a national scale,” he said.
In the process of them exercising their freedom of speech they want to silence and punish anyone that wants to exercise their freedom of speech and doesn’t agree them. Sounds like communism to me.
Yes communism is alive and well
The reason why that communism is alive, it keeps on wanting to Repeat, Repeat, Repeating,…….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you whole heatedly, it’s all about Free Speech for all Legal Citizens People And Legal Immigrants Of The USA! The Whole Left Side Of The US Political Equation LOVES TO CENSOR The Whole Right Side of US Political Equation because The Right Side Does NOT Agree with the Left Side, because the Left Side Wants to Illegally Subjugate The Whole Right Side of the US POLITICAL EQUATION, Which Is Anti-US CONSTITUTIONAL=’s Depriving The Whole Right Side of the US Political Equation Of Their Constitutional Rights, Freedom’s And LIBERTIES, Which Is Spelled Out In The US Constitution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Garland is a communist POS and should go to jail for his treasonous acts.
HEAR! HEAR! I 2nd your motion!!!
IF The ONES REQUEST IS FROM ANYONE UNDER 18 PARENTS HAVE TO APPROVED EVERYTHING DONE IS APPROVED BY PARNETS PERIOD ITS THE LAW
I am confused. I thought only Congress could legislate.
This “Scientific Control” is just another way for taking away Parent’s Rights over their children. Last I checked, Parents have the duty of moral responsibility to protect, care for and teach their children…NOT the Medical Establishment or School Boards, Teachers or the Government! America is a Democratic Republic, NOT a Communist country. Stand for the rights of Parents over this take over of our children & grandchildren!
Here is something I have not heard anyone mention. What is the medical establishment going to do when these prepubescent children whom they have mutilated get older and decide that gender reassignment was a bad idea and turns out to be , from a more mature perspective, something they don’t want, after all. Then society is going to have a whole new set of problems, with lawsuits against doctors and parents. Frankly, any parent who would allow their minor child to be subjected to this should go to prison for a very long time.
The rath of GOD will descend upon these cognitively challenged, dysfunctional democrats and their minions. When the Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt abused the Hebrews, GOD announced what HE would do in Isaiah. Here is a “revised up-to-date version, applicable to the idiot in the White House;
Isaiah 1 – 4, 14 – 15, God Will Punish Egypt
1 The Lord is coming to the USA, riding swiftly on a cloud. The American leaders and their queers tremble before him, and their fellow Democrats will lose their courage. 2 The Lord says, “I will stir up civil war in America and turn brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor. Rival cities will fight each other, and rival Democrats will struggle for power. 3 I am going to frustrate the plans of the Democrats and destroy their morale. They will ask their minion idols to help them, and they will go and consult the Democratic House of Representatives and Senators, and ask the Hollywood elitists and Tweeters for advice.
14 The Lord has made them give confusing advice. As a result, Biden does everything wrong and staggers like a drunk slipping on his own vomit. 15 No one in America, rich or poor, important or unknown, liberal or socialist can offer help. And they all will succumb to AIDS, Monkey pocks, and the Ebola virus!
Biden and his band of fools are the biggest lying, most corrupt aholes ever, and they want a information board to tell us they are right and we are wrong. I can not understand why the few dems that have brains can not see what’s going on.. this corrupt, lying bunch of aholes do not belong in any office, ythey belong in jail.
