My son recently saw a horrible therapist, who refused to address his underlying issues (such as the sissy porn my son was watching, instead fixating on the idea that “just because you watch gay porn doesn’t mean you’re gay” but this has nothing to do with gender identity therefore a nonsensical statement in lieu of the subject matter), focusing instead only on his trans identity… It is essential that therapists who aim to treat gender dysphoria understand the influences on our boys, including sissy porn, that commonly lead to gender confusion and development of trans identities. After I dropped the biased and uninformed therapist, I drafted the email because I wanted to be able to say that I did my best to inform him, especially because he works at a university. It’s important to call out these therapists and provide them with information, so they cannot claim that they just did not know. They know.
One day, gender affirming care will be discredited as another failed medical theory - just another instance of mad scientists acting crazier than their patients.
Some of us are still doing our best to save our kids and feel it is risky to speak out too much, lest our kids get help from all those affirmers out there ready and willing to take care of my kid and get him away from his transphobic parents.
because this cult has taken over most of the major power centers of our society (media, academia, foundations and nonprofits, the Democratic party etc), and because like all cults it is extremely intolerant of dissent and seeks to punish any dissenters or apostates.
just look at what they did to alice dreger and michael bailey (amongst many others):
I love this letter. I feel like I could write a similar one to my daughter's teachers and principal, who were pushing her towards a sick, perverted "psychologist" (who is a ftm trans person) whose goal seems to be to groom and mutilate all the kids she can.
I am so angry about all this that I am not even afraid anymore of being called a transphobe. Because they truly DO scare me.
Bravo!!!! Excellent and much-needed perspective. I am a (soon to be retired) mental health therapist. I am both shocked by and ashamed of the “professionals” who are driving this madness.
Are your colleagues going along with the "gender" stuff? Do you know any who are skeptical? If you are retiring soon, this is a time of opportunity for you. Find out if others in your organization are skeptical too. Do it on the "down-low" - have coffee off-campus. Pick older colleagues, as many of the young are completely bought into this shit. I am working in a group with MANY therapists and researchers who DO NOT buy the trans garbage.
You might contact Dr. Peter Breggin, MD. He knows a thing or two about the disasters and betrayals of "modern" psychiatry, though I have not heard him speak on this topic. He's a good, heroic man who has stood up to the lobotomists and pharmaceutical companies for decades, and at age 85-ish, is still practicing and fighting for what's right. Listen to his podcast if you want to know what he's about.
Hi-great questions. I am currently in a solo private practice but a lot of therapists here in deep red, Bible belt TN are affirming based on APA “ethics” (what irony). I am moving toward a church-based ministry model and away from traditional mental health care. I stopped taking insurance 2 years ago.
Have you read "To Thine Own Self Be True"? Written by Lewis M. Andrews, Ph.D., in 1989. Sounds like you might enjoy his perspective, which I found very thought-provoking. He talks about the connections between our moral values, our behaviors in relation to those moral values, and how both of those affect our psychological health.
You’re absolutely right! Thanks for writing this and sharing it. I’m also glad that you brought up misandry, which is a very much overlooked influence in our culture today and for a few decades already. When I think of the horrifically negative outcomes that you mentioned, it sounds more like something devised by an alt-right mentality than far left. This should not be a political issue, but it is now. It should be a science based issue, and it is not now.
Paul could you elaborate on what you mean, about the alt-right versus alt-left mentality? I truly am curious as to your thoughts on that distinction. Also I agree that this should not even be a political issue.
Glad to. I probably shouldn’t have interjected that political observation, really, but- the hard right ideology often wants strict adherence to traditional values and norms, and the left/progressive ideology tends to be inclusive and support diversity. The stereotypes being presented in current “gender identity” theory is supporting the old traditional model by categorizing everything that doesn’t adhere to the stereotypes as “queer” or “non-binary” or “trans”. Then it’s followed by encouragement to alter the body to conform with the adopted stereotype, if the body and identity are not in conformance work each other. (Hence, “queer” people may escape the trans-medicalization somewhat, in that the the non-alignment may be accepted.) So, to me,
the people who encourage transitioning are less accepting and more like the hard right. Also, I wouldn’t put it past far right activists to influence progressive causes to make them as extreme as their views often are, if only to distract people from their own extremism. Sorry, there’s so much craziness in the world today.
Thanks for the explanation. I get what you mean now.
I too am sorry about all the craziness. For a long time I thought I was alone in swimming against the current of mainstream craziness. I am very glad to have found this group of people who still have our heads on straight.
Write a letter to his supervisor. Write a letter to the Ethics Committee of his hospital. Find out if there are any SEGM members in the area. NOT ALL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS BUY THIS SHIT.
Very well written. I hope the the therapist reads this. Unfortunately, people don't speak out until it happens to them.

Psychiatrists are not proper scientists: their experiments have no measurable baseline(s) or measurable outcomes - I mean outcomes with numerical answers. For a really damning indictment see: https://thefederalist.com/2016/11/17/psychiatry-professor-transgenderism-mass-hysteria-similar-1980s-era-junk-science/
All the resources presented here are disturbing beyond words. I really have no idea why people are afraid to speak up against this cult.

Also-I would love to have a network of like-minded therapists to connect with.
