OPINION (CBN) – YouTube has dubbed a video by a leading pediatrician discussing the treatment of transgender children as “hate speech,” and has banned it from its internet platform. Dr. Michelle Cretella, a long-time pediatrician, and executive director of the American College of Pediatricians is seen in The Daily Signal video giving her rationale against current consensus treatment for children who believe they are not their biological gender.
“See, if you want to cut off a leg or an arm, you’re mentally ill—but if you want to cut off healthy breasts or a penis, you’re transgender,” she said in the 2017 video.
