Physician: Transgenderism Is ‘Ideology,’ Not Science
Although the entire medical establishment seems to be in full support of transgenderism, there are some who see the movement for what it is. Let the whole of America know the truth, God!
From The Christian Post. When it comes to transgender ideology, Dr. AndrĆ© Van Mol says simply being a board-certified family physician in todayās political climate could be considered controversial.

Speaking at The Christian Post’sĀ Generation Indoctrination conferenceĀ last month, Van Mol, who is also the co-chair of the American College of Pediatrician’s Committee on Adolescent Sexuality, said if he was to give testimony in a court of law, attorneys for the other side would work to get his testimony thrown out, claiming he is not an expert. But if he worked for a gender clinic, he would be considered an “expert.”
āIf I were a family physician working for the gender clinic, now Iām an expert,ā he noted, pointing to what he described as the āideological capture of medical organizations, legislators, media as a whole, [and] the academic worldā by gender politics.
Van Mol called the trans movement āideology masquerading as science, reinforced with emotional blackmail ā āYou have to support them or theyāre going to kill themselves’ ā which is also not true.ā
That dynamic, he added, is perhaps best encapsulated by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which Van Mol calls an advocacy group.
āAll roads lead back to WPATH,ā he explained, using the acronym for the organizationĀ formerly knownĀ as the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association.
Under WPATH Standards of Care (SOC)Ā for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People, said Van Mol, all age restrictions for puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery have been removed.
The latest version of WPATHās SOC now includes āeunuchā as a gender identity, which it describes as āindividuals [who are] assigned male at birth and wish to eliminate masculine physical features, masculine genitals or genital functioning.ā
Van Molās response to the change was brief but to the point.
āThis cannot be science,ā he said.
āThere’s always a more honest answer to gender dysphoria or confusion in a minor than chemical sterilization and surgical mutilation in what is otherwise a very healthy young body,ā he said. āWhat they need is to address those underlying issues.ā
Oftentimes, said Van Mol, much of the controversy stems from a toxic mix of mainstream media headlines and low-quality scientific research.
He pointed to the familiar trend of media outlets chasing headlines rather than following the science.
āYouāll notice that whenever thereās a new study singing the praises of transition, magically, immediately, itās covered in the media from coast to coast, with pretty much the same talking points, and that canāt be coincidental,ā he said.
Van Mol also said studies that support sex-change procedures āuniformly show that those studies are of low to very low quality.ā
āBy definition that means they fail to show what they claim they are showing,ā he added.
He also pointed to theĀ closureĀ of the Tavistock Clinic, Britainās Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), the worldās largest pediatric gender clinic, set for later this year following six comprehensive literature reviews out of the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland and Florida.
āWhat we see now is ā¦ four nations that were leading the world in āgender-affirming transition medical interventionsā have done a complete turnaround, a complete 180, again, they were leading in it, and now theyāre like, āNo, this is not supported by good data,āā he said.
According to recent data, the number of minors in America receiving a diagnosis of gender dysphoria tripled from 2017 to 2021, with more than 42,000 receiving the diagnosis in 2021. On the social media platform TikTok, which is especially popular among younger people, the hashtag ātransā has logged 50.2 billion views, nearly doubling within the space of a year.
More European nations, he added, are turning away from this ājunk scienceā and instead telling minors who are experiencing gender dysphoria to undergo comprehensive psychological evaluation and therapy ā both for the patient and the family.
āThere’s decades of literature showing overwhelming probability in a gender dysphoric minor of underlying health problems of adverse childhood experiences, bad family dynamics and a way over-representation of autism spectrum dysphoria, and that these all predate the gender dysphoria,ā Van Mol explained.
This approach, said Van Mol, is a more holistic method of addressing what tends to be a deeply complex condition.
āAnd thereās absolutely no way that happens in a 40-minute visit to Planned Parenthood that gives you hormones,ā he added.

Father, we pray for protection for our children. Thank you for the detransitioners who are coming forward, bringing lawsuits against those who pushed them into transitioning with lies that the child would commit suicide if not transitioned. Thank you that the truth is coming out. In the name of Jesus, we pray that those who bowing to money, power, or the work of Satan would be exposed and overthrown. We pray for understanding and courage of parents to protect their children and not bow to lies. We declare truth over every gender clinic and doctor and the downfall of this ideology. Thank you Jesus.
Heavenly Father I pray you would work in our nation to open peoplesā eyes to the evil and grave harm this ātreatmentā does to individuals. I pray you would bring us leaders that would boldly speak against this, instead of supporting it as many leaders do. I pray also for your protection and care for those who are speaking against this ideology. Those who support transgenderism are emboldened by Satan to threaten and cause physical harm to people speaking the truth. Bring us hope Heavenly Father and push back this tidal wave of evil overtaking our country.
