Stay In Your Lane
Are school districts practicing medicine without a medical license when they socially gender transition children behind their parents’ back?
I believe educators are practicing outside the scope of their professional license when they covertly socially transition a child. Before social transitioning begins, there are some questions that need to be asked and some evaluations that need to be done. First off, what is the child’s medical history? Does the child have an intersex condition and if so, what has been the medical course of action? Does the child have a metabolic condition such as diabetes? Sugars outside the physiologic norm can result in a child saying all kinds of stuff they are not even aware they are saying. What’s going on in the child’s life at home – a separation, a divorce, a new sibling, death of a close relative, loss of employment, loss of a living situation, new step parent, new step siblings? What is going on with the child psychologically – is the child depressed, is the child anxious, is the child being abused – physically, emotionally, sexually? Has the school district given any thought to the actual harm they may be causing? With a covert social gender transition, the child will be playing one person at school and another person at home – talk about provoking confusion, anxiety and parent/child conflict. Schools and parents need to work collaboratively to ensure student well-being. At the end of the day, when the child gets in BIG trouble – arrest, physical or psychological emergency – the parent is the one left holding the bag because the school district is only available during school operating hours and is NOT fully vested in raising the child 24/7 from birth to adulthood. Before a child is socially transitioned, at a minimum, a complete and comprehensive physical evaluation should be documented, a complete and comprehensive psychological evaluation should be charted and a home visit should occur to ascertain what is going on in the home. School districts and educators need to stay in their lane and stop pushing the Marxist political agenda.

Political mission creep
PoopD brought something to my attention this past weekend going on in the medical profession and asked my opinion. I am a retired medical doctor no longer working the front lines. Medical providers are now being encouraged to be civic minded and to bring up voter registration in their clinical practice and are being given tools to increase voter registration including use of an electronic medical charting system used throughout the Columbus, Ohio area – Mychart. I spent 4 years in medical school and 5 years in residency training and voter registration and getting out the vote were NEVER part of the practical skills teaching agenda. I was busy learning how to make the correct diagnosis in a timely manner and to come up with the most efficacious, least side-effect producing, treatment plan. I have included a link below to the organization behind this initiative – Vot-ER. What I found most disturbing was the push for “emergency ballots” for hospitalized patients. I don’t know about you, but if I were sick enough to be admitted to the hospital in the week or two leading up to the 2024 election, I would hope that the ONLY thing the hospital staff was working on was my complete and rapid recovery with well thought out planning for an expeditious boot out the door. I would not want a social worker or other health care team members devoting time working on my absentee ballot status. I would need my health care team working on my medical and discharge plan and setting up any health care services or devices inclusive of any in-house training I would need for a successful discharge (i.e. no bounce back to the hospital within 30 days). I would suggest my medical peers stay focused and stick to the original patient care mission statement. Ballot harvesting was not originally part of the plan and this political creep into medical practice, under the guise of being a non-partisan equity equalizer, is shameful.

The transgender conundrum
Genesis 1:27 – So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Today I am going to discuss the transgender issue. I graduated from medical school in 1990 and at that time the words sex and gender were used interchangeably. In 2024, according to the Institute of Medicine:
1. the term sex should be used as a classification, generally as male or female, according to the reproductive organs and functions that derive from the chromosomal complement (generally XX for female and XY for male).
2. the term gender should be used to refer to a person’s self representation as male or female, or how that person is responded to by social institutions on the basis of the individual’s gender presentation.
3. the term intersex describes a person whose biological sex is ambiguous. There are genetic, hormonal or anatomical variations that can make a person’s sex ambiguous (Klinefelter Syndrome, Adrenal Hyperplasia).
I am now going to limit the discussion to children (< 18 years of age) which is where the current cultural uproar is based. In my humble opinion, the underlying aim of the parties pushing the transgender agenda in children is to aid in the social breakdown of the family and loss of parental control. This is part of the Marxist plan to be the driver of all aspects of our society. Two areas where the Marxists have gained an upper hand is the medical profession and the educational system. Fortunately, the medical system was dealt a blow by the release of the Cass Review in Great Britain this year. I have included a link to the Cass Review below. Many European countries have now pulled back on the medical and surgical transitioning of minors. In short, what the Cass Review revealed is that there is scant scientific, rigorous based evidence to justify transitioning minors. Additionally, the review found that many minors showing up for care at gender clinics had other underlying conditions that were not being addressed – anxiety, depression, broken families. The National Health Service (NHS) in Great Britain has put a hold on transitioning pending good quality research. A court in Great Britain recently upheld this approach. The bottom line is this – often irreversible strategies were recommended to parents for their children with nothing more than ideology to back it up.
Unfortunately, in the United States and Canada, the medical and educational establishments are pushing full steam ahead. On a positive note here in Ohio, the legislature has stepped up to protect families and minors. H.B. 68 (Save Adolescents from Experimentation/Save Women’s Sports Acts) was recently taken off hold and is now in effect. Make no mistake, the Marxists (ACLU) are still fighting this one tooth and nail. Below is a link to a listing of current legislative issues winding through the halls of Ohio’s legislature which are family friendly.
