Say NO to Kenneth Zucker Speaking Engagement on Trans Youth!

The following petition is protesting Dr. Kenneth Zucker's invite to Speak at Royal Society of Medicine Conference.

"Please sign the petition below to protest the horrific decision to invite trans-reparatist quack Dr. Kenneth Zucker to address attendees at a conference on gender-variant youth in the UK. First he was invited to sit on the committee to oversee revisions to the GID diagnosis in the DSM, now this? When will this universally reviled doctor in the trans community stop being rewarded by the mainstream for his dangerous and egregious actions? Enough is enough!"

Here is the text of the petition and a link to it:

"We the undersigned wish to protest in the strongest possible terms against the inclusion of Dr. Kenneth Zucker in the Royal Society of Medicine's conference on "Gender Identity Disorder in Adolescents". We believe that his methods are harmful to young people and that his theories on transgenderism are both outdated and rejected by most of the psychological community as they are based on personal bias and flawed methodology.

We respectfully ask that you replace him with a contributor to the conference who does not give such offence to the transgendered community."
