Pediatricians and transgenderism

Should pediatricians, as a group, express a stand on transgenderism? 
I think not.
But that is not what the American Academy of Pediatrics thinks:

"AAP leaders are urging federal officials to rescind proposed restrictions on care for transgender youths that are unprecedented and not grounded in science."

Oh really?
The AAP is so eager to wade into this debate?

What is unprecedented?
The explosion of medical interventions being performed on young people, in the name of transgenderism.
But the AAP is too utterly corrupt to acknowledge that.

Is this enhancing the image of physicians?
I think not.

Could they not have just stood back, working in their acknowledged medical specialties, and let the political process play out?
Evidently not.

In other words, 
acknowledging that this 
(transgender interventions on young people) 
is an issue which is ultimately political, and not medical.
But oh no, the AAP says this is an issue which is strictly a medical decision.
I think not.
