Gender Identity and child abuse..

   Occasionally sanity peeks out of the trenches sufficiently to be noted by the inmates who have taken over the asylum so long ago that even they are beginning to think they are sane!  Some brave souls have put down their politically correct shields and exposed themselves to the screaming, increasingly dangerous loonies, who in the name of freedom believe that anyone who does not agree with their looney ideas should at least be silenced, but preferably locked up or even executed.  
   The American College of Pediatricians thought the situation sufficiently serious to issue a temporary statement immediately, while they work on the permanent version.  It's introduction reads as follows:

 The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts — not ideology — determine reality.

   Gender, is not a state of mind.  It is a hard biological fact determined by an individual's chromosomes, (XXor XY) a scientific fact, that only the scientifically very ignorant can dispute. A life on hormones that supress normal sexual (and in my opinion psychological) development is not a recipe for physical or mental normalcy.  I find it easy to understand how the ignorant idealogues can disregard obvious science in favour of their baseless beliefs, but how did they convince a substantial number of apparently normal people to buy into this?  I can only come to the sad conclusion that there are a lot more stupid people around than I believed.
   It is worth reading the American College of Pediatricians report, which is easily available, to see how these children are being abused - and that is what it is, child abuse. 
   A pity the American Psychiatric Association lacks the balls to come out with a similar sane statement, or would that be too much to ask?
