Yes I do hope medical associations in the USA succumb to political pressure. That would be great! It's not like there is a MASSIVE movement in the US this exact second who want to eliminate vaccinations altogether, and it's not like they're likely going to win a branch of government this upcoming election.

Succumbing to political pressure is how we found ourselves in this mess! Trans activist’s have been pushing treatments on gender nonconforming and gender dysphoric children that aren’t backed by science because they feel like those are the treatments they would have wanted when all data indicates people who present with gender dysphoria during or after puberty are a different group! Finland, Sweden, and Denmark have been doing these treatments longer than the U.S. has and have found watchful waiting has better outcomes. Some gender dysphoric children will persist into adulthood, but most desist during puberty if they go through it naturally and aren’t affirmed. The treatment that trans activists are pushing does real harm to children, many of whom would grow up to be LGB, and I’m proud to stand with women, feminists, and LGB people in opposing it. I just hope that we return to sanity sooner rather than later so fewer kids are harmed. It’s heartbreaking. :(

    There's no such thing as "trans kids." There are kids with a variety of mental health and social adjustment problems who have been and are being labelled "trans" by the adults in their lives.

    Just, completely, factually incorrect. I transitioned behind my parent's back, I did so growing up in an extremely conservative part of the country at a time where even in the media trans people just weren't a thing (so I had no trans icons to follow in the footsteps of). I was, quite literally, a kid who was trans. Trans kid. You live in your own little bubble but the real world EXISTS around you, please, I am begging you, stop.

      They are banned, the rules still apply to the rest of you. No personal attacks.
