    Hadley Heath Manning on Medical Malpractice: The AAP Demonizes Non-Affirming Parents

    Hadley Heath Manning on Medical Malpractice: The AAP Demonizes Non-Affirming Parents

    On this episode of The Bespoke Parenting Podcast, host Julie Gunlock talks to IWF's Hadley Heath Manning about a recent article published by the American Academy of Pediatrics that declared "withholding [gender-affirming care] is harmful to children and amounts to state-sanctioned medical neglect & emotional abuse." Why is the AAP pushing radical surgical and pharmaceutical interventions for minors? What does this AAP position mean for parent rights? Are doctors going to start reporting parents to authorities? Julie and Hadley discuss some of these troubling questions.

cnarsi ,

We’re the sane ones!!!!

This really is one of the best podcasts out there if you are looking to feel “not crazy” in the midst of crazy ideologies trying to steal your kids. I am convinced there are more of us then there are of them who seek sanity through conservative values. This podcast will connect you to incredible parents who are taking a stand and give you courage to parent by your own God-given convictions without fear!!!!

The PTA Episode is Eye Opening

Common sense, important questions, and a touch of politics, for reasonable moms and dads.
