[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The American Academy of Pediatrics is very clear that it is normal for children to develop a sense of their sexual orientation during puberty, and that some kids may have a sense of that at an even earlier age. I'll stick with the medical professionals and their peer reviewed science, thanks.

Oh sure. Nothing political at all there. No siree. Not at all. [/quote]

It's the AAP. They establish the standards for medical care for kids in the US. If you take your kids to doctors, I presume you accept that they have some medical knowhow. You don't get to say, " I believe what they say about broken arms and vaccines, but not about sexual orientation, because the latter research contradicts my narrow world view."[/quote]

Of course I "get" to say that. Anyone who knows anything about these organizations (clearly not you) knows that they are bought and paid for, and that certain lines of thinking are the party line. [/quote]

"Bought and paid for"? By whom? It's a non profit. The doctor members don't get money from a professional organization. Who pays them? Parents of bisexual teens? [/

Well for one , the drug companies. You don't seem yo know much about how medical research works and is funded and I don't have time to explain it all to you. But there is no real science on this subject. It's all subjective psychology which is very easy to manipulate with political whims. [/quote]
