Episode 192 -"Kids and Transgender What the Medical Data Shows, Part 2" Guest: Irene Ericksen and Mary Anne Mosack
In this episode, Dr. Meeker continues her discussion about transgender and kids with Irene Ericksen and Mary Anne Mosack.\nSome Topics Covered:\n\nKids who deal with gender confusion also are dealing with other issues, such as, autism, OCD, anxiety and depression.\n\nMost start the transgender process without treating the actual cause of why these kids are feeling this way.\n\nWe need to treat the whole person and not just the problems.\n\nBiology plays a factor in procreation because we need both males and females to do so.\n\nKids are being influenced in school and on the internet that they can be any gender orientation that they want to be in order to fit into today\u2019s culture.\n\nParent\u2019s can stand up and fight this based on the information that is not backed up by facts.\n\nThe curriculum schools use is not sanctioned by the government.\n\nHaving respect for your child\u2019s feelings and emotions can build the trust between you in order to address these hard topics.\n\nPraise your child/children for coming to you with any of their feelings, emotions, or discomfort.\n\nFive Major Points That Parent\u2019s and Policy Makers should know:\n\n\nResearch evidence does not support medical intervention for transgender confused minors or children.\n\nMedical transition procedures have not been shown to reduce teen suicide.\n\nChildhood gender dysphoria usually dissipates on it\u2019s own by adulthood.\n\nThe dramatic increase in gender dysphoria in the past decade is likely being driven by social influence.\n\nSex education for early elementary children, including content about transgender ideology has not been shown by scientific research to be beneficial.\n\nMary Anne Mosack:\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AscendSRA\nWebsite: https://weascend.org/\nwww.institute-research.com\n\xa0\nFROM THE PRODUCER\nThanks for listening to Episode #192, Kids and Transgender \u2013 What the Medical Data Shows, Part 2 and for helping Dr. Meg\u2019s parenting revolution reach more than SEVEN MILLION downloads!
