The Poor Fucking Jesus Freaks...

lol, all you have to do is click on the following link to find out what they really are:

Just another one of those Christian institutions under the guise of a professional-sounding name.

By the way, they are wrong. Not every transgendered person has gender dysphoria. The issue, as per the DSM, is with the dysphoria part NOT with identity.

Do they have conservative views? No doubt... Do people that push the lgbt agenda have liberal veiws? no doubt. Whats your point?

No, they don't "have conservative views"... they explicitly state, quote:

Core Values of the College

The American College of Pediatricians:

A. Recognizes that there are absolutes and scientific truths that transcend relative social considerations of the day.
B. Recognizes that good medical science cannot exist in a moral vacuum and pledges to promote such science.
C. Recognizes the fundamental mother-father family unit, within the context of marriage, to be the optimal setting for the development and nurturing of children and pledges to promote this unit.
D. Recognizes the unique value of every human life from the time of conception to natural death and pledges to promote research and clinical practice that provides for the healthiest outcome of the child from conception to adulthood.
E. Recognizes the essential role parents play in encouraging and correcting the child and pledges to protect and promote this role.
F. Recognizes the physical and emotional benefits of sexual abstinence until marriage and pledges to promote this behavior as the ideal for adolescence.
G. Recognizes that health professionals caring for children must maintain high ethical and scientific standards and pledges to promote such practice.
H. Recognizes the vital role the College has in promoting quality education for parents, physicians, and other health professionals.

They are an overtly fundamentalist Christian organization which aims to promote the pre-set goals of that particular agenda. Quoting their take on the issue of transgender issues is a bit like quoting a White Supremacist-affiliated group on racial issues.

Why don't you see what a non-affiliated group, founded before 2002, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, has to say on the issue:

The study, "Mental Health of Transgender Children Who are Supported in Their Identities," in the March 2016 issue of Pediatrics (published online on Feb. 26) presents new research on the positive mental health outcomes of prepubescent transgender children who socially transition, or begin to live expressing their gender identities. 

Researchers found that children allowed to exhibit their gender, by changing their names, clothing, pronoun use, and hairstyles, had normal levels of depression, and anxiety levels only slightly above their peers. The study compares a national sample of 73 transgender prepubescent children, ages 3 to 12, with 49 of their siblings and a control group of 73 "typically developing" children of the same ages. 

While previous research has shown that gender nonconforming youth often have elevated rates of depression and anxiety, this study suggests that familial support can be associated with good mental health outcomes among transgender children. The study authors suggest that further research will be important to evaluate the mental health of transgender children as they move into adolescence.

Where do you get "christian" out of that list?

Just because their list of values falls in line with Christian values doesn't necessarily make them religious.

I know of at least one Atheist that would agree with all but 2 from that list.

The point is, disagreeing with gay marriage or abortion, doesn't make one a christian.

No, you're right. It doesn't.

What does is the use of specific "code-wording", in other words using shibboleths  from Christian culture to be able to run under the radar, yet be detectable by people in the know. It's similar to the reason the ichthus fish was used by early Christians, supposedly, to identify one another secretly-- one drawing one arc, the other drawing the second part.

Several of the phrases in that list are right out of something Focus on the Family would write. Most people can easily be fooled by such rhetoric, but you forget that many of us belonged to fundamentalist Christian faiths before rejecting it as mythology, and we know the memes of that social group.
