Medical school professor says parents must implement gender ideology for babies: 'It... starts at birth'

[Put Queers Down!]

A professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine who is
involved in a LGBTQ+ "special interest group" claimed that
parents must start including gender ideology in their families
before a baby is born.

"This is my favorite topic," =Lauren T. Roth, a professor of
pediatrics at Einstein and a physician in the division of
academic general pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital at
Montefiore, said. The doctor has specialized knowledge of
transgender medical interventions on children diagnosed with
dysphoria.

"Like, this is a normal thing. And we have to understand that
gender is on a spectrum. There's not just men and women," she
said. "Sometimes [a child's gender identity] matches the
chromosomes or the genitals that they were born with, but
sometimes it doesn't."

Roth also said children can have a nonbinary identity, or be
genderless.

"There's also a term non-binary, which means you're someone who
doesn't necessarily identify with the categories of woman or
man. You may identify as both as neither or somewhere in between
on a gender spectrum," she said. "And when we talk about younger
children, we often use the term gender expansive. These children
may not necessarily follow the social norms of gender."

In June 2021, Dr. Roth said gender ideology must be adopted by
parents "at birth or even before," and proceeded to criticize
the colors pink and blue for putting "expectations" on a baby.

"So it honestly starts at birth or even before," she said. "I
really think we need to try to stop making everything pink and
blue [and also] avoid this huge gender reveal party."

"You know, it's okay to be excited when you find out that your
baby's a specific sex. You know, people have dreams about what
they want their families to be, but it's really important not to
push all those expectations on your child."

Dr. Roth went on to claim that babies can develop their gender
identity as young as 18 months old.

"Toddlers starts to notice physical differences and develop
gender identity as early as 18 months to two years. They might
begin talking about gender, playing dress up, having these
established gender roles as early as age three or four."

She also suggested parents can initiate gender-related
conversations early in childhood in order to "give them space to
explore" what gender they are.

"If your child was assigned male at birth and one day they tell
you, ‘I want to wear pink sparkly dress. Instead of saying what
a lot of people say, ’Boys don't wear dresses, girls do.' How
about you know, say something like, ‘Tell me more about why you
want to wear a dress today.’"

"You know be open and curious and just start the conversation. I
really think having open conversations like that and just asking
questions allows your child to share a little bit about
themselves. And it shows that you support them, and it gives
them that space to explore who they are."

IN CAPACITY FOR GENDER SURGERIES FOR MINORS

On the national level, Dr. Roth serves as co-chair of the LGBTQ
Health and Well-Being Special Interest Group of the Academic
Pediatric Association, where she is working to bring
standardized training to future pediatricians.

Dr. Roth, whose research includes a pediatrician's role in
transgender medical interventions on children, has lectured at
and hosted workshops for Einstein medical students and helped
develop a "culturally humble" care curriculum for Montefiore
residents relating to LGBTQ+ health.

Montefiore provides transgender medical interventions on
children such as cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, also
called gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa), a class
of drugs which suppresses sex hormones by continually
stimulating the pituitary gland.

Proponents of puberty blockers argue that stopping the natural
biological process of children can lead to better outcomes for
transgender kids since it provides families with time to
consider their options, and for a child to further explore their
identity before progressing to permanent drugs such as cross-sex
hormones and surgeries.

A recent research publication by top Swedish doctors called the
hormones for children with gender dysphoria "experimental." They
proceeded to sound the alarm of GnRHa's potential to permanently
damage a child's full bone maturation.

Karolinska Institute's research systemic analysis of existing
medical literature led to a conclusion that GnRH analogues were
found to delay bone maturation and mineral deposits, which may
not be fully restored even with the introduction of sex hormones.

There are also unknown effects on how GnRH will affect the brain
of a child with gender dysphoria in the long term. Last year,
the FDA identified six cases of children taking GnRH agonists,
which presented "a plausible association" to causing increased
pressure around the brain which can eventually lead the organ to
swell.

Regarding a child's sexual function, Dr. Marci Bowers, who is
the president of World Professional Association for Transgender
Health, said that GnRH introduced at a critical puberty stage
can cause a child to become inorgasmic.

"Every single child who was or adolescent who was truly blocked
at Tanner Stage 2 (at the first signs of sexual development) has
never experienced orgasm. I mean, it's really about zero," she
said.

I'm a pediatrician in practice for 39 years (and in 2 months
will retire) and also a professor at one of those ivy places and
I can tell you her view is not mainstream. She has an agenda. If
your physician is promoting anything other than medicine run
away as fast as you can and find another physician. Personally I
will no longer receive medical treatment from anyone trained in
the US who is under 45yo. They don't have the training, skills
or knowledge I want in a physician.

What should really frighten people is this. This person's views
are dangerous because she teaches medical students, interns and
residents. They need to adopt her ideology (even if pretending),
in order for them to pass a pediatric rotation or an elective.
And if they wanna go into pediatrics they'll probably need her
well wishes to secure a residency. That's what scares me because
they are not in a position to go against her agenda or but-
heads. I on the other hand would have no issue putting her in
her place. If only....

I retired 4 years ago from a teaching Level 1 Pediatric trauma
center. 45 years. Not a physician, Immuno hematologist, but I
saw this slowing creeping in. The level of competency in the new
interns had been slowly deteriorating for years before I
retired. Not all. Some were excellent, but the number of scary
individuals had in creased substantially from when I started in
1974.
