Ned, I am still considering your thoughts. I reviewed the APA document and I am not sure that I agree that the studies were mishandled to the degree that you propose. Still reflecting….

Here’s what OneNewsNow said about this site:

Physicians help parents, schools combat propaganda

The American College of Pediatricians (ACP) is cautioning educators and expressing concerns on dealing with sexual orientation and gender confusion by sending a letter to every U.S. school superintendent.

ACP president Dr. Thomas Benton sent the letter to the school districts. In that letter he refers recipients to FactsAboutYouth.com, a website that has been established to provide educators, parents, and youngsters factual information about sexual development. He encourages parents to go to the site, check out the facts, and start a dialogue with their school superintendent.

How many are going to know the facts about this unholy alliance? How many are going to uncritically accept what they say, and go on to quote it in comments and letters to the editor as strong evidence in support of their actions?

The AFTAH executive director adds that the false information obtained from activists is designed to promote their gender-identity disorder, but the new website takes on more importance because parents generally have no clue how active the homosexual agenda is in schools.

It’s all a conspiracy you see. All of the things wrong with our schools. A vast, anti-American conspiracy by the Jews Communists Gays.

Christian Post – “Conservative Pediatricians Caution Schools on Gay-Affirming Policies”

At least the Christian Post correctly identified the pediatricians as ‘conservative.’

…

Assuming the membership rates and total above, if their non-physician membership is twice that of their physician membership, they would have 313 members.

I think we can say “about 300 dues paying members” and assume we are accurate.

Anyway, if the membership consisted of physicians, there would be about 200, and with the likelihood that the membership is mostly non physicians, they could have perhaps twice that in total members.

A press release sent out in 2003 claimed that they started with about 100 members. This seems to have been purged from the ACP website (which avoids all mention of membership rolls) but is still available on the wonderful internet.

They may have more (or less), but that’s probably a good reference number for membership until further info is provided.

Meanwhile, FactsAboutYouth.com because of its appareny neutrality and professional authorship has garnered much favour:

Mercatornet – “FactsAboutYouth.com looks like a very useful website, providing some balance in an issue which can be very divisive in school communities.”

Citizenlink – “Doctors Say Schools May Be Spreading Misinformation About Homosexuality”

WorldNetDaily – “Pediatricians warn educators not to promote being ‘gay'”

Christian Post – “Conservative Pediatricians Caution Schools on Gay-Affirming Policies”

http://www.americancollegeofpediatricians.org/Charter-Members.html

They don’t provide any other membership figures that I can find. However, if there were many other members, it wouldn’t make sense to ignore them on the website, while listing 50 charter members by name. Accordingly, I conclude that the group consists largely or entirely of its charter members as listed, and its board.
