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.  -- The Bespoke Parenting Podcast is about and for parents who are tired of being told how to do it. There’s no one way to parent—there are as many ways as there are kids. Parenting styles, strategies, and philosophies should be bespoke—tailor-made to fit you, your family, and most importantly, your kids! Twice a month, Bespoke host Julie Gunlock is joined by a variety of guests who are parenting the way they see fit.  You can listen to the latest Bespoke episode(s) here or wherever you get your podcasts.
