The American College of Pediatricians (ACP) has released a report stating that it is wrong to encourage children to believe that they were born in the wrong body as there is no scientific basis for such an assertion.<\/p>\n

The report, \u201cGender Dysphoria in Children,\u201d was written by Dr. Michelle Cretella and explains that the condition is more psychological than biological.<\/p>\n

\u201c[A]lthough many men with GD express the belief that they are a \u2018feminine essence\u2019 trapped in a male body, this belief has no scientific basis,\u201d it states.<\/p>\n

Cretella outlines that children are not born with the brains of the opposite sex. . . . The organization is therefore calling for an end to hormonal treatments and sex change operations, as well as educational curriculum that teaches children that some persons are trapped in the wrong body.
