Sex-change therapies on children ‘beyond the pale’

OneNewsNow | Pete Chagnon | Apr. 23, 2008

Children’s Hospital Boston, a world-renowned center for pediatric healthcare, is being criticized by a Massachusetts-based pro-family group for offering sex-change therapy to patients as young as ten years old.

The Boston Globe recently published an article on Dr. Norman Spack, who last year started a new clinic at Children’s Hospital that, among other treatments, performs sex-change therapy on “transgendered” children. The Gender Management Service Clinic, as it is called, defines that group as “patients with no known anatomic or biochemical disorder who feel like a member of the opposite sex.”

In the Globe article, Spack details how he prescribes hormone therapy to halt puberty in children as young as ten years old, and then uses further hormone therapy to change children to the sex of their desire. Spack also lauds how he changed one transgendered child who was “destined to be a 6-foot-4 male” into a 5-foot-10 girl.

Brian Camenker heads MassResistance, a pro-family organization based in Massachusetts. He laments what the future may hold.

“Just the idea that they would do this to innocent, confused, and vulnerable children — it’s beyond the pale. But I don’t think that we’ve seen the end,” says Camenker. “This isn’t the end of the line; this is going to get worse unless people are willing to step up to the plate and stop it. And it’s going to get to a point where it’ll start happening a lot. This is just the beginning, I think.”

  1. Andrew, are you surprised? The surgical community has for years been pushing for the right to essentially do human experimentation with cross species organ transplants, organ harvesting, gender change and other surgical engineering. Those participating feel they have the RIGHT to surgically remake the human species. It is nothing new at all and they are fueled by outrage from us ignorant, reactionary plebs and peons. They will not stop unless they are forced to stop.

    Once again it is a case of a faulty understanding of the human being.

  2. There’s an old joke that Woody Allen used in one of his movies, when they were funny, about a boy who thought he was a chicken. When told he could be cured, his mother said, “But we need the eggs!”

    Is chicken therapy that far off?
