"Sexual Identity Disorder and the Medical Scandal Harming Kids, a Pediatrician Explains" with Dr. Jill Simons -- Sexual Identity Disorder Series Part 1 | Ep. 4

What happens when the medical establishment stops protecting children—and starts encouraging medicalizing sexual identity confusion instead?

In this episode of Bioethics Babe, Dr. Jill Simons, a board-certified pediatrician and Executive Director of the American College of Pediatricians, exposes how ideology has overtaken science and good medicine in the treatment of children with sexual identity disorder and how this puts vulnerable kids at risk.

Dr. Simons shares how her decades of experience in pediatrics led her to speak out against sex-rejecting interventions on children with sexual identity disorder—interventions which are not compassionate and leave life-long physical and mental consequences.

We discuss:

• The hidden dangers of so-called “social affirmation” and early transition and why it locks kids into confusion
• The real risks of puberty blockers, tucking and binding practices, and sex-rejecting surgeries and how they endanger children’s physical and mental health
• Why informed consent and ethical medicine are being compromised in the name of ideology
• The claim that denying sex-rejecting interventions causes suicide
• What the UK Cass Review revealed about the evidence for these interventions
• What parents, teachers, and policymakers can do to protect kids.
• Why children’s brains—and bodies—are not ready for life-altering interventions

Listen now as we dive into the evidence, the ethics, and the hope for restoring integrity and compassion in pediatric medicine.

This is not just a medical issue—it’s a moral one.

This is a conversation every parent, teen, doctor, and policymaker—needs to hear.

This episode is part of the Sexual Identity Disorder Series. Part 2 is Episode 7.
