Leftist Propagandists Have Gone Over the Edge—Including Members of the Once-Revered American Medical Association

WASHINGTON, DC, Aug 17 — Next to the words, “I do,” when a man and woman get married, the words, “It’s a girl” or “It’s a boy,” are arguably the most precious declarations a husband and wife can make.

But the AMA is now saying that we’ve got it wrong. They say that it’s not up to the parents to declare their child’s gender; that it is up to the kid to decide whether he’s a, she or she’s a he. Or, for that matter, it’s up to the children to identify themselves as something else entirely.

Here’s the American Medical Association’s conclusion in a new, controversial, and decidedly wrong-headed report, as some are describing it: “Existing AMA policy recognizes that every individual has the right to determine their gender identity and sex designation on government documents … To protect individual privacy and to prevent discrimination, U.S. jurisdictions should remove sex designation on the birth certificate.” The AMA was kind enough in its declaration that its decision would only apply to birth certificates; and that parents would still be able to report the baby’s sex to the government “for scientific and statistical reasons.”

The folks at Federalist.com took issue with the AMA’s take on the subject, pointing out that the issue of birth certificates is not a medical concern. In fact, in her article on the association’s report, author Kylee Zempel suggests that keeping one’s sex a secret can have deadly unintended medical consequences. She cites a case in which a 32-year-old man was hospitalized due to complaints of “intermittent abdominal pain.” He was somewhat obese, according to an attending nurse. It turned out that he was not obese he was a transgender woman, and she was pregnant. Those intermittent pains were labor pains. This was not discovered in time, and the patient died.

Ms. Zempel goes on to point out that the AMA declaration unwittingly and/or unknowingly revealed its misrepresentations regarding the gender-sex issue by “flip-flopping” between sex and gender in its report.

She cited this paragraph in particular: “Sex designation, as collected through the standard form and included on the birth certificate, refers to the biological difference between males and females. Today, the majority of states (48) and the District of Columbia allow people to amend their sex designation on their birth certificate to reflect their individual gender identities, but only 10 states allow for a gender-neutral designation, typically ‘X,’ on the birth certificate. Existing AMA policy recognizes that every individual has the right to determine their gender identity and sex designation on government documents.”

Political commentator Ben Shapiro wrote an opinion article on the AMA’s report. As he put it, “The implication that parents are doing violence against their own children if they connect sex and gender is utterly anti-evidentiary. Sex and gender are interconnected. For nearly every human being born, biological sex will correspond with genital development in the womb. And gender, contrary to the idiotic, pseudoscientific paganism of the gender theory set, is not some free-floating set of biases we bring to the table.”

Shapiro, who is noted for his ability to cut to the crux of an issue, went on to say that “Males and females have different qualities in a variety of functions, attitudes, desires and capabilities. In every human culture — indeed, in every mammalian species — meaningful distinctions between male and female remain. To reduce children to genderless unicorns simply awaiting hormonal guidance from within piles absurdity upon absurdity.”

Many other high-profile individuals expressed their scorn, as did ordinary folk. Nikki Haley, the former Ambassador to the United Nations, in her tweet, said it was “the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Stop the madness.”

Author and scholar Christina Sommers stated that “Another once-trusted institution has lost its mind.”

Men and women from all walks of life lashed out at the AMA as well. One tweeter was concerned that it could have an impact on how doctors might or might not “properly treat” a patient if they don’t know his or her sex. [Remember the guy who was really a gal and died because the hospital staff didn’t know that he/she was pregnant?]

Finally, one individual turned to social media to warn that the AMA report “is literally a propaganda takeover of truth. If there were more than 2 genders at human birth, nature would also have multiple genders in all animals. That’s literally never happened. All of nature is male or female gender. Truth: It’s a (rare) human psychology issue.”

FOOTNOTE: In June, the Wall Street Journal published an editorial board Opinion article entitled Doctors for Progressive Conformity. It evoked a lot of responses from physicians throughout America.

The AMA, as expected, took umbrage at the newspaper’s observations in a letters to the editor column.

Two physicians revealed the organization’s dirty little secret– that it has become a progressive socialist organization and, as a result, its membership has been decimated. One of them had this to say: “the AMA has morphed into a leftist advocacy group. I therefore have decided to join the majority of U.S. physicians. I will not be renewing my membership.” To put his message into context, he went on to point out that in its glory days, during the 1950s, 75% of American physicians were members of the AMA compared to just 25% today.

John Grimaldi served on the first non-partisan communications department in the New York State Assembly and is a founding member of the Board of Directors of Priva Technologies, Inc. He has served for more than thirty years as a Trustee of Daytop Village Foundation, which oversees a worldwide drug rehabilitation network.

Bull! God created male and female to reproduce. Two sexes and two only to procreate. It’s people trying to play God that are the ones who are confused!

Only Democrats like Clinton, Franken, Weiner, Spitzer, Weinstein…don’t understand the question of sex when male, or female are listed. They all seem to not grasp the basic determination, line it out and put: Yes .

These people are just beyond the pale. When a child is born there still is only two genders male and female. These people want to get into a child head to confuse and obfuscate societies norms. The left has put forth a totally bogus plan to ruin our well established set of norms for over 250 years. It’s all part of the 45 goals set by communists to take over America. Watch out folks they have been very successful in taking over our federal government and many cities with communist mayors and city council members, Just look around and you ask yourself how in the hell are these people getting away with such outlandish policies especially killing of babies right up to birth.

Make and female. Two sexes, two genders. That is how it was at creation and that is how it will be at the end. Man in his twisted fallen nature wants to play God or be like God. Guess what, Lucifer was there before and fell like lightning to earth. Didn’t go well with him. Won’t go well with the morons who proclaim multiple genders or non genders. There are still two sexes and two genders. Female and male. Accept it.

I always knew some doctors didn’t know their butt from a hole in the ground. Now the organization representing them says it’s true. I just wonder how the socialists bought them off like everything else. Satan’s having a field day folks.

The AMA is not following science, just pop psychology. This is truly a sad and horrifying statement by them. What else will the scientific community say is just a personal decision.

This is all a part of the dehumanization of humanity! Since there is no room for God in leftist ideology, humans are no longer sacred beings created in the image of God. Therefore, by dehumanizing them, they are looked on as utility (how productive are you in a leftist world view) and if you don’t conform to the leftist ideology, ideology being leftist religion, you will be eliminated! 1984 becoming a reality along with Animal Farm. Every leftist regime has eliminated millions of innocent humans thru famine and genocide since its easier to control a small number of immature, uneducated, indoctrinated people! Welcome to the future of Amerika if this leftist crap keeps coming!

Any doctor who promotes this garbage should be immediately stripped of his or her medical license and sent to Siberia. Perhaps re-education in the gulag would help them understand their utter confusion on the topic. There are males and there are females, and children cannot decide what they want to be. Period.

I will never take, at face value, anything that the AMA publishes again.

Omg Even the AMA should be able to understand what goes on a birth certificate: if you have a penis-you’re a boy, if you have a vulva/vagina congratulations-you’re a girlChange it later if you feel the need ????????

Is it the entire word that’s gone stark raving mad or is it just the USA? So, you have a baby and their birth certificate has no gender on it so what are the parents supposed to call ‘it’ when someone asks? Are they supposed to just tell everyone that they won’t know that until ‘it’ grows up and decides what it ‘wants’ to be? And what about clothing them? Do they rotate boys clothes and girls clothes until ‘it’ decides which they feel more ‘comfortable’ in? Oh, yeah, let’s not forget toys. Do they buy both ‘boy’ and ‘girl’ toys until ‘it’ can decide which they like best? Talk about confusion! God help us all!

They push the bizarre, freakish, immoral, communistic fantasy vision of a dystopian world. Prepare for it to get worse. The Dimms are focused- the Repubs are feckless.

Did these “doctors” ever study Biology in either High School or College? If they did, perhaps either re-education or revocation of their MD credentials. If they’re this ignorant about Biology, I certainly don’t want them treating me.

I think the AMA has completely lost its mind!!!!!!!!!! Except for thoseintersex individuals where evidence of the genitalia is unclear, it is obvious at birth, in fact, it’s obvious on sonograms whether a child is born male or female. To want to change 2000 yrs of evident life to some non-sensical wokeness is unbelievable. FIRST: do no harm!

The declining membership of the AMA says it all. Most physicians will not go along with this socialist, marxist nonsense. God made male and female, if either one thinks they want to be something else, it is their decision. The sex at birth can be identified as either Male or Female.

First, I am no Doctor, but from a very young age I knew that there was two types of babies,
1; It’s either a boy or it’s a girl, and in 30 seconds or less I can teach every Doctor in the country how to tell the difference, its hard to explain but most if not all medical text books has some pretty graphic pictures and if you can’t tell the difference you should not be in the medical profession. 2; I don’t care what you do you can not change a person’s birth gender, God did not make us with inter-changeable parts, you can cut a part off (OUCH!) or sow one on and it will not change one’s physical makeup you can’t make a man give birth or a women
can not fertilize an egg. Its a fair tail (pun intended) to think you can, call yourself what you want and live you life like you won’t but you will not convince me you are a girl if you were born a boy, and don’t play in sports that were designed for a sex other than the one you were born into.
THAT THE MEDICAL LESSON FOR THE DAY !

There they go again, The American Moron Association disguised as “doctors” have drunk the wine of madness. God created Male and Females in humans as well as in animals, but when your drunk with madness, this is what you act and look like.
Time to cancel the AMA.

God has determined there will be men and women born to this world not the government or AMA. Once you’re grown you can pretend you’re what ever gender you’d like but to remove this from your birth certificate is insanity at best.

To all those lefties that DEMAND we follow the science as it relates to the scam-demic, here is some actual science for you to follow. And yes, biology is a science just in case your teachers (political officers) were unaware.

If you are born with a prostate, you are a MALE
If you are born with a uterus, you are a FEMALE.

Any questions? Oh wait, the libtards only follow the science when it suits their purpose / agenda.

Satan has since the beginning of creation has been confusing people of who they are, as Satan tempted Eve to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil to be like God, even though God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost stated that they would make man in their image and like, so man was like God. Now Satan has deceived man again as to what gender they were born as, male or female to create confusion once again. These people God has turned over to a strong delusion to believe a lie and be damned because they received not the knowledge of the truth. When God turns them over to a strong delusion there is no help or hope for them. They are in the category of the people you should not pray for because God will not hear your prayer.

The AMA has been on board with the so-called “Progressive Agenda” for decades. So it is NOT surprising that they back the latest talking points the left is shouting. All this is nothing more than an intentional distraction to draw the public’s attention away from the really serious things the left is doing to re-make this country in a socialist image. Don’t be distracted America.

Why doesn’t anyone remind the AMA….which is DOCTORS…that there’s A difference between gender and sex?
Gender is what an individual sees and feels he or she is. Sex is assigned in the womb by numbers and types of chromosomes…where did I GRT this important set of truths? FROM THE AMA JUST THIS PAST YEAR!
If this isn’t a glaring example of America being crushed under the thumb of encroaching thereby disguised as “caring governing”… tell me…what is? When will it end? I reckon when enough Americans grow back enough backbone to holler NO MORE! and takecaway their power.

This is a terribly sad statement to make about America. You sex is determined by God at the moment of conception. Even though gender is the sex you think or feel you are it doesn’t matter. You are born male or female and you shall remain male or female no matter what you “feel” you are. I lost a great deal of respect for the AMA. These are doctors after all. Now they have jumped on the bandwagon of lunacy spreading through America. I’m waiting for some nut to “feel” like a geranium and demand to be watered twice a day. You can bet if there were more than two who felt like that there would have to be a small square to be checked on government forms labeled:
Plant: (house or garden)
Species: (leafy or blooming)

Come Lord Jesus. Help our nations’ lunacy.

I have 6 grandchildren who attend public school (at least they used to). Because of the large amount of time wasted in the classroom discussing “gender identity”, we have felt the need to clarify things. They were told, when you take a shower look down. If you see boy stuff, you’re a boy, if you see girl stuff, you’re a girl. It’s that simple. I can’t imagine in my wildest nightmare, my parents having to clarify that for me. Oh Lord God of the universe help us!!????????

At some point we have to wake up and take back America. The reason the Democrats get away with destroying our culture is because WE let them. Our founding fathers and the people of their time gathered a bunch of farmers and in a long war defeated the most powerful Army in the world. They had guts. We need to find guts our self. We need to tell the AMA that they no longer are the authority over any medical certifications. They are no longer relevant in America. As for Democrats and the left media we need to tell them that they are wrong. We will not just give in. We will get to a point where we finally discover that Democrats are destroying America and therefore should not have the same rights as Christian, hard working, tax paying, American citizens. People who are trying to destroy our country, close our churches, destroy our families, etc are the enemy and therefore are only guaranteed the rights of prisoners of war. When we realize that we are in a fight for our country we will do what we have to do to save it.

The “organized” medical profession (i.e. AMA, CDC, TV commentators etc.) had already revealed itself as a collection of prostitutes with the COVID pandemic. All this BS about staying home and cutting all trips out of the house yet we have no guidelines for in-house air purification machines or whole-house HVAC air filter elements. Hyperbolic, conflicting advice on masking vs unmasking and these geniuses have yet to come up with an effective specification for the mask in the first place. All the BS about hand-washing yet those virtue-signalers who claim to be in charge have yet to mandate as simple a sanitation aid as mandatory paper towels in all bathrooms, as opposed to the notorious germ-spreading hot air dryers. When I developed my own case of COVID a year into the pandemic, I was told to “go home, lie in bed, drink plenty of fluids and if your health deteriorates far enough (to be unrecoverable), go to the Emergency Room. REALLY?? That’s the same medical advice they handed out during the Spanish Flu pandemic 100 years ago.
I’d been taking my Zinc & Tonic prophylactically and my Ivermectin to knock out the infection once it manifested, and was symptom-free in a week. Not bad for a 70-year-old diabetic male with a history of A-fib, obesity and a previous stroke. According to the docs, I should have been worm food.
