“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.” – Ephesians 6:10
On Thursday, an American coalition of pediatricians, health policy groups, and a multitude of physicians officially joined together to take a stand for truth and real medical science. The allied coalition goes by the name “Doctors Protecting Children” and just days ago released the Doctors Protecting Children Declaration (DPCD).
The declaration is signed by all members of the allied coalition and is a strong rebuttal of the faulty transgender ideology that has infiltrated the medical profession. Dr. Jill Simons, who is the executive director of the American College of Pediatricians and a member of the allied group stated, “It is time that these American medical institutions follow the science and the lead of our European professional colleagues and cease to promote protocols that harm children, including the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.”
This major pushback against “gender-affirming medicine” from physicians in the United States follows the U.K. report, known as the Cass Review, that was published in April. In the Cass Review, British medical professionals noted the extremely “weak evidence” surrounding “gender-affirming medicine.”
Furthermore, the review stated, “The reality is that we have no good evidence on the long-term outcomes of interventions to manage gender-related distress.” All around the globe and now here in the U.S., we are witnessing a massive wave of momentum for truth and reality. It seems that the transgender worldview is running out of steam as it is crumbling under the weight of its own inconsistencies.
LET US PRAY…
Father, please bless those who have joined together in the Doctors Protecting Children coalition to protect vulnerable and confused children. Lord, empower all in the medical community to only promote real medicine that heals and helps and not false ideologies. Father, may the truth and beauty of your created order shine brightly here in the United States. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
