A professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine who is involved in a LGBTQ+ “special interest group” claimed that parents must start including gender ideology in their families before a baby is born.
“This is my favorite topic,” =Lauren T. Roth, a professor of pediatrics at Einstein and a physician in the division of academic general pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, said. The doctor has specialized knowledge of transgender medical interventions on children diagnosed with dysphoria.
“Like, this is a normal thing. And we have to understand that gender is on a spectrum. There’s not just men and women,” she said. “Sometimes [a child’s gender identity] matches the chromosomes or the genitals that they were born with, but sometimes it doesn’t.”
Roth also said children can have a nonbinary identity, or be genderless.
“So it honestly starts at birth or even before,” she said. “I really think we need to try to stop making everything pink and blue [and also] avoid this huge gender reveal party.”
“You know, it’s okay to be excited when you find out that your baby’s a specific sex. You know, people have dreams about what they want their families to be, but it’s really important not to push all those expectations on your child.”
“If your child was assigned male at birth and one day they tell you, ‘I want to wear pink sparkly dress. Instead of saying what a lot of people say, ’Boys don’t wear dresses, girls do.’ How about you know, say something like, ‘Tell me more about why you want to wear a dress today.’”
“You know be open and curious and just start the conversation. I really think having open conversations like that and just asking questions allows your child to share a little bit about themselves. And it shows that you support them, and it gives them that space to explore who they are.”
Proponents of puberty blockers argue that stopping the natural biological process of children can lead to better outcomes for transgender kids since it provides families with time to consider their options, and for a child to further explore their identity before progressing to permanent drugs such as cross-sex hormones and surgeries.

A recent research publication by top Swedish doctors called the hormones for children with gender dysphoria “experimental.” They proceeded to sound the alarm of GnRHa’s potential to permanently damage a child’s full bone maturation.
Karolinska Institute’s research systemic analysis of existing medical literature led to a conclusion that GnRH analogues were found to delay bone maturation and mineral deposits, which may not be fully restored even with the introduction of sex hormones.
“Every single child who was or adolescent who was truly blocked at Tanner Stage 2 (at the first signs of sexual development) has never experienced orgasm. I mean, it’s really about zero,” she said.
