[quote=Anonymous]There's been a lot of noise on my nextdoor lately from something called the Arlington Parents Coalition [url=https://arlingtonparentcoa.wixsite.com/arlingtonparentcoa](link)[/url] related to Arlington's draft J-2 PIP transgender policy.

Gotta love how they link to a statement by the [i]American College of Pediatricians[/i], which appears to be a political group formed mostly for the purpose of being confused with the [i]American Academy of Pediatrics[/i] which is the actual professional organization you've heard of. Wikipedia says American College of Pediatricians is listed as a hate group by the Southern Policy Law Center.

Approve of the policy or not, it's pretty sad that in Arlington people are using fake academic organizations and politicians passed of as actual research to make their point. The "research' section on that web site is a complete joke. Every single piece of "research" linked to is associated with the fake American College of Pediatricians or some other super right wing organization. The first five links:

"Unethical NIH Study Causes Irreversible Medical Harm to Children" - posted on youtube by "The Kelsey Coalition" - speech by Dr. Michael K. Laidlaw, who's a vocal anti-trans activist and writes frequently in church, pro-life journals and ultra-conservative journals. [url=http://www.slowlyboiledfrog.com/2018/04/dr-michael-k-laidlaws-anti-trans-tirade.html]Read about him..[/url]
"What’s Wrong with the New NIH Study on Transgender Kids?" by Jane Robbins/ Erin Tuttle = employees of the American Principles Project, an ultra-conservative think tank
"Dr. Michelle Cretella on Transgenderism: A Mental Illness is Not a Civil Right" Michelle Critella = vice president of fake American College of Pediatricians
"The Medical Harms of Hormonal and Surgical Interventions for Gender Dysphoric Children" - the actual heritage foundation, enough said
"The Terrible Fraud of 'Transgender Medicine" -  Quentin L. Van Meter = president of fake American College of Pediatricians

.. got tired of googling the authors after the first five turned out to be are all sourced from highly political organizations or are agenda-driven. None of these is actual research.
