I thought my kid's doctor must be a leftist because she asked me to step out of the room so she could talk privately with my daughter, and then she asked my daughter if she's comfortable with her gender.

I was angry with the doctor about it at first, but then I googled it and apparently the "American Academy of Pediatrics" recommends this practice.

But what authority does the AAOP even have? Do all doctors have to do what this "academy" says?

I thought at first that this is just happening here because my state is a Democrat dictatorship, but keep an eye on your kids because I think this may
very well be happening in all states.

None.

The "academy" provides recommendations to doctors. And doctors use those recommendations to hide behind when something happens. "I was just following the recommenations of the 'experts'."

If I was in the same boat, I would have simply refused and demanded to know what could not be said in front of me. The doctor may push it, but in the end, he will lose and his practice done.

You can be sure it is.

That's what I thought. I just don't understand how a medical doctor can be such a wimp and let a website turn their work into something so stupid. (There's probably some peer pressure.)

I am going to refuse next time. But should I be prepared for a scuffle with security? LOL

How old is your daughter? Unless she is in the care of a psychologist or
the like for possible gender disphoria, that seems like an awful, awful odd question to ask.

Leftists are supposed to now be for population growth so you'd think they'd want girls to stay girls.

No idea. You would have to ask a doctor.

Sounds like something more likely to happen in your state, California, and
a few others but your advice is not bad advice.

She's 14 and she's a very feminine, girly girl. I think the doctor is insane. I was warned about that doctor being unprofessional before, but I ignored it.

I think that's just a slogan that they use to make illegal immigrants feel more welcome. In reality, the leftists just need more people who can fit into minority groups. (accounts exploitable)
