Please look at what is happening in medical schools too. They have been signing a charter to guarantee affirmation of gender, with all the potential harm that might follow from this.
I’m wondering how I can make the public aware of the Medical Schools Charter? As the media aren’t writing about it.
This charter is being pushed by self-proclaimed ‘queer medical activists’ and it says that doctors & future doctors will affirm patients’ ‘gender identity’.
