WA university refuses to ban realistic endocrinologist
A US pediatric professor, who says the transgender movement is based on ideology rather than science, will speak at the University of Western Australia despite pressure to ban him.
A student petition with more than 6000 signatures is protesting the appearance on Friday of pediatric endocrinologist Quentin Van Meter, who is on a national tour sponsored by The Australian Family Association.
Dr Van Meter has said that using puberty blockers for children with gender dysphoria was akin to child abuse.
"Transgender is actually a delusional disorder," he said. "It's a state of mind with no biologic basis for it that can be found."
Dr Van Meter is president of the American College of Paediatricians, which is known for its opposition to marriage equality, gender reassignment and abortion.
A UWA spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday that while the university did not endorse the opinions of its speakers, cancelling the event would "create an undesirable precedent for the exclusion of objectionable views" from the university.

Wow! A university that doesn't completely shield it's snowflakes from uncomfortable realities. Wish more AMERICAN Universities would operate like that!
Then why dont the 600 useful idiots who signed the petition all stay home and play a game of catch with their snowflake dolls
I always wonder how many of these delusional kids are a product of their parents desire for a child of the other gender.
Stan B , while the university is going ahead with the talk, their statement ‘cancelling the event would "create an undesirable precedent for the exclusion of objectionable views" sounds like they are condemning the speaker’s views before he has a chance to speak
Speaking the truth is viewed as a "hate crime" by some on the left because it shatters their fantasy world. And yet they claim the right is "anti-science."
Hooray for my Alma Mater - standing up for something.
Boo to the pathetic guild - unrepresentative swill.
