“The Social Transition Trap: A Pediatrician Exposes the Hidden Risks to Kids with Sexual Identity Disorder” with Dr. Michelle Cretella-- Sexual Identity Disorder Series Part 2 | Ep. 7

05 Nov 2025

Description

We’re told that changing a child’s name, pronouns, and identity is an act of love, but what if that so-called "affirmation" is actually the start of a dangerous medical experiment?Pediatrician, researcher, former Executive Director of the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds), and the current Chair of the ACPeds Adolescent Sexuality Committee, Dr. Michelle Cretella says social transition isn’t harmless—it can confuse children when they are not being told the truth about their identity as male or female, disrupt their normal development, and lead them down the path of chemical and surgical interventions.On this episode of the Bioethics Babe podcast, we’re identifying the hidden risks of social transition in children—and asking the hard questions no one else will. Are we trading science for ideology and having children pay the price?From pronoun changes to school policies that exclude parents, Dr. Cretella argues that today’s “affirmation” model is not compassionate care—it’s ideological coercion.Drawing on years of pediatric experience, she breaks down how social transition impacts child development, why medical organizations have gone silent, and what parents can do to push back against the growing influence of gender ideology in medicine and education.We discuss:What social transition really means—and why it’s harmfulThe psychological and developmental fallout of early affirmationHow schools are bypassing parents when it comes to children with sexual identity disorderWhy social transition is a dangerous experiment on kidsThe medical and ethical crisis inside pediatric medicineDr. Cretella is known for challenging the medical establishment on issues of sexual identity disorder, and she will share with us why she believes this growing trend deserves urgent ethical, medical, and parental scrutiny.This episode is part of the Sexual Identity Disorder Series.
