Hi, Dr. Sears (pediatrician) from the Doctors show on TV recently made these remarks about a young transgender child, and I’m so upset about this that I urge everyone with half a conscience to contact them and complain, I am not going to watch them anymore! There are two ways to do this, I sent the link to ask the Doctors and did it via email, or you can send a letter to address below.
I just want to let Dr. Sears know that he should keep his insensitive ignorant remarks to himself and i will never watch this show again and will publicize his insensitive bigoted remarks so that others will boycott too. During the February 27 edition of CNN Newsroom, host Brooke Baldwin led a panel discussion about Coy Mathis, a 6-year-old Colorado transgender girl who is suing her school district for the right to use female restrooms at her elementary school. Everyone on the panel expressed support for Mathis’ position except for Dr. James Sears, co-host of the CBS show The Doctors. Sears, who is a pediatrician and television personality, warned that Mathis might walk around the girls’ bathroom with her penis exposed, like “most boys” allegedly do at that age. He is putting preconceived sexual notions in children that don’t have that in their heads. They have normal curiosity about each others parts but only that! what is wrong with this doctor! I don’t even have a transgender child but can put myself in those parents shoes! Does Dr. sears think that being LGBT is contagious too? maybe LGBT doctors should not practice on straight people?
Dr. Sears OFF THE AIR!! Get a better pediatrician!

I too watched that episode in complete disbelief of his ignorance. I was offended and disappointed at how a so-called professional could be so bigoted on a national platform. We need our health care professionals to help and protect children (especially pediatricians!) and Dr. Sears is the type of individual who would make that little girls life a living hell. Repeatingy calling her “him, her, he, whatever” was deeply saddening. We wonder why our youth self harm and end up taking their own lives… they feel hopeless with people like Dr. Sears surrounding them. I found this page after creating a twitter account to leave Dr. Sears a message. I’m relieved others share my outrage. This sweet little girl has a chance, but only if we take a stand.
Which was both of those appealing at the same time as insightful!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
I agree with Dr. Sears, this is a six year old baby
Children may express themselves very intelligently, they may even sound
mature but at the end of the day they are innocent and impressionable
It’s up to the parents to shape and mold them correctly.
Kids are not like you say, the adults in their lives make them that way. Parents that I know have explained their children’s transgender issues very simply (example: your cousin was born a girl, but she is really a boy. Period! that was all they said and the 6 year old cousin just said oh, how could you make that mistake? he looks like a boy! and went on to play) And this kind of experience is not unique it is the norm, especially if we as adults do not make such a big deal about it. If you were the parent of a transgender child you would not be making judgement calls on this.
You will see in due time that he was right in everything he said. He was just brave enuff to say it. The Truth will come out soon. Thank you Dr. Sears for being so brave!
