Members of the American College of Pediatricians, also known as ACPeds, and other medical professionals will announce their signing of the "Doctors Protecting Children Declaration" on Thursday during a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, The Daily Signal has learned.

"As physicians, nurses, other health professionals, psychotherapists, and behavioral health clinicians, scientists, researchers, and public health and policy professionals, we have serious concerns about the physical and mental health effects of the current protocols promoted for the care of children and adolescents in the United States who express discomfort with their biological sex," the declaration states.

It is co-signed by medical and health organizations including the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, Genspect, the American College of Family Medicine, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, the Catholic Medical Association, and many individual doctors, pediatricians, and nurses.

The document emphasizes that most children and adults whose "thoughts and feelings do not align with their biological sex will resolve those mental incongruencies after experiencing the normal developmental process of puberty."

It also notes that the young children who are going through attempted "gender-transition" procedures cannot really give "responsible informed consent" due to the "extremely limited long-term follow-up studies of interventions, and the immature, often impulsive, nature of the adolescent brain."

Notably, the declaration points out that the many "gender clinics" in the US are basing their transgender protocols on the "Standards of Care" developed by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, or WPATH, which was recently exposed for hiding the dangerous and experimental nature of these procedures. The declaration points out that the very foundation of WPATH's guidelines is "demonstrably flawed, and pediatric patients can be harmed when subjected to those protocols"...
