Medical professor claims gender identity starts as young as 18 months

Parents must start embracing the ideals and values of radical gender ideology, according to a practicing physician and medical professor. And refusing to do so could harm children in the long run. These are the “medical” recommendations from Dr. Lauren Roth, and it’s just the latest in a long line of attempts to normalize gender ideology as a legitimate part of human development. It’s not, and anyone arguing otherwise is an agenda-driven propagandist.
Roth claimed that children start to identify their gender identity as young as 18 months old. She advocated parents adopting gender ideology “before birth or even before” and lambasted using the colors of pink and blue by parents as “putting expectations on a baby.” Her statements read like the plot of a deranged science fiction movie instead of sophisticated insight from an accomplished medical professional.

“Toddlers start to notice physical differences and develop gender identity as early as 18 months to 2 years. They might begin talking about gender, playing dress up, having these established gender roles as early as age 3 or 4,” Roth said. “If your child was assigned male at birth and one day they tell you, ‘I want to wear a pink sparkly dress,’ instead of saying what a lot of people say — ‘Boys don’t wear dresses. Girls do’ — how about, you know, say something like, ‘Tell me more about why you want to wear a dress today.'”
“I really think we need to try to stop making everything pink and blue [and also] avoid this huge gender reveal party. You know, it’s OK to be excited when you find out that your baby’s a specific sex,” Roth said. “You know, people have dreams about what they want their families to be, but it’s really important not to push all those expectations on your child.”
But this is utterly ridiculous, horrible advice, and indicative of how science has become corrupted to advance left-wing sociopolitical and cultural agendas. And, not to mention, if boys wanted to wear “pink sparkly dresses” at a young age, it would contradict what Roth claimed about children realizing their gender identity. Parents should rightfully correct their children about boys not wearing dresses and not listen to anything this “doctor” advised.
Roth is an assistant professor of pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and an attending physician in the Division of Academic General Pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, according to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine website. Unsurprisingly, she’s also a staunch advocate of LGBT issues, conducted research in gender-transition care and LGBT health, and co-chair of the LGBTQ Health and Well-Being Special Interest Group of the Academic Pediatric Association, Fox News reported.
Roth’s job functions include bringing “standardized training to future pediatricians” — essentially brainwashing future doctors to agree with her radical beliefs. It’s why she makes such absurd statements and tries to regularize her radical ideas regarding young children and gender identity.
“Like, this is a normal thing. And we have to understand that gender is on a spectrum. There’s not just men and women,” Roth said when discussing gender ideology. “Sometimes [gender identity] matches the chromosomes or the genitals that they were born with, but sometimes it doesn’t.”

But this is not a normal thing. It’s a mental irregularity. Her comments demonstrate how radical gender ideology has gained prominence in the medical and scientific communities. Her remarks and “medical” recommendations are predicated on ideology, not legitimate research and science. There’s no legitimate evidence or basis for Roth’s claims. Trying to legitimize such things as “science” facilitates acceptance in mainstream society — her ultimate objective.
Gender-transition care and normalizing transgenderism in young children is modern-day Lysenkoism. Roth is weaponizing her credentials to advance her personal views as actual settled medical science in order to legitimize these things. Her comments embody everything wrong with society today and the dangers associated with the radical fanaticism of gender ideology. Children don’t choose their gender. They are born a gender. Claiming otherwise is enabling abnormal mental behavior.
