Thank you for summing up what we've been shouting about, observing, suffering and living through in your pithy, poignant and powerful article. You have a gift for finding memorable "sound bites" about a complex situation. I hope someone hires you soon to help us with this problem!
This is excellent and it needs to be on the internet for our adult children find it and read it.
Where can you post it on their social media so they read what you wrote. What trans page do they check into that can’t be taken down and the truth starts spreading like this cult virus.
We parents can’t just email this to our kids cuz they have cut us out of their life. This information needs to get into their virus space internet so the truth is public and they can’t blame it on PITT or ROGD sites that they ignore.
We need it on tv news, Dateline every where on social media so the world sees the truth and it gets to our kids without them ignoring the truth.
Every medical facility needs to stop giving out hormones to try and change them.
Can you get this to President Trump so he can maybe post it or mandate the craziness to stop and our kids hear the truth and come back to their parents for help.
Oh this is what I pray for daily.
I’m so tried of not helping our kids because the virus is stronger than the truth.
This is what should be discussed on the X-Twitter June 14th talk. Your ideas are excellent. It's called Publicity. We need to launch a coordinated media campaign using various social media and news and more --to share our perspective, our grass-roots "health campaign" . Message me on my Substack handle if you agree.
Spot on. “Injuries that do not occur in nature, only in gender clinics.” It’s abuse. A global social child abuse scandal. Abuse of the minds and the bodies of the vulnerable. What happened to protecting the vulnerable? Now the world manipulates them, ruins them and people get rich doing so. Alas, there is a deeper alterior motive. So the kids are the tool.
Brilliant post and all so TRUE. I wholeheartedly agree with the author ,and I pray that the deluded victims of it will wake up soon and get REAL help. As for the " doctors " involved in this ,I wish we could jail them ,or at a minimum ,strike them off the register . Thanks
Love it. Positive thinking! We made it happen so we can stop it. The problem are the propagandists but we deal with them saying the truth and facing them.
Oh my gosh - your story is very cleverly written and so good! Yes! "Trans ideology is not your fault. It is a 21st century virus of the mind and you have been infected." Perfect analysis! I agree with you that teachers, coachers, counselors, neighbors, family members, therapists, doctors - they ALL need to STOP infecting our children! Be the cure not the cause, right? We can only hope that there will indeed be a "cure for the trans-virus" because clearly common sense is NOT working. Claiming to be born in the wrong body - it infuriates me!!!! Thank you! Your insight is spot-on!
In the old days, there was a word for an idea that spread across the population whether or not it was helpful or true: "meme". If that word had not been despoiled, it would be a great way to describe transgender ideology.
Brilliant essay! "There is no such thing as trans." Correct.
It absolutely is "a 21st century virus of the mind"! All manner of vulnerable, especially vulnerable young people, catch it. Probably because it is a virus of the mind, socially behind gifted young people are a major at risk group - whether gay or straight. They're the biggest group in the Littman study.
Once the mind virus is caught there are all those profiteers and enablers. The Federal Government is beginning to have an impact regarding medicalizing children, however, this does not cure the mind. We need cult deprogrammers, IMO, when what we have is an Education-Plex spreading the virus of the mind.
"UPenn Medicine won’t provide ‘gender-affirming care’ to kids anymore
But the doctors at Penn are still bad guys who make it clear they are just forced to follow new federal law:. So, in addition Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy the bad guy list includes:
Penn Medicine’s Senior Vice President Patrick Brennan and
Penn graduate State Rep. Rick Krajewski
"Brennan made clear he does support surgical and chemical procedures on kids but is trying to follow the law. He stated:
"We remain deeply committed to ensuring a respectful and welcoming environment for all members of the communities we serve and providing comprehensive medical and behavioral health care and psychosocial support for LGBTQ+ individuals while complying with federal government requirements.
State Rep. Rick Krajewski, a Penn graduate, called the decision “disappointing, unnecessary and wrong.”
“Gender-affirming care is healthcare. It saves lives,” Krajewski wrote on X. “The University must stop giving into bigoted federal demands without a fight.”"
Well said. I think another aspect of this is that you can put your life "on hold" while you are "transitioning" to what is guaranteed to finally make you truly happy, thereby forestalling adulthood and the accompanying responsibilities, and everyone will think it's fine because you are saving up. It seems like so many of these kids are stuck on Medicaid, disability, working part-time in coffee shops, or whatever, in order to save up enough money for the lauded "SURGERY." Nothing you do in your life is going to make you happy until you can "transition", so why try? Why change your diet, or exercise more, or go backpacking through Europe to find yourself, or give up marijuana, or working on healing your family relationships if nothing is going to really help except "The Surgery"? Why throw yourself into a career or grad school when you're just going to have to take six months off to heal from "Surgery"? Why examine your life with the help of a holistic doctor or non-western practitioner to look at WHY you are so unhappy, when they can't provide THE SURGERY that will make all your problems disappear? Satan has come up with some amazingly comprehensive ways to destroy human flourishing, but I gotta give him credit with trans ideology. He really hit it out of the park with this one. It destroys everything it touches
You got it exactly right. There is no such thing as being "trans." There is nobody who must be referred to and treated as if they are the opposite sex and who must undergo chemical and/or surgical alterations to their body to appear the opposite sex (or some other made-up sex, the appearance of which is also made-up) in order to have any semblance of happiness or avoid torment and/or suicidality.
Nobody inevitably has to pretend they are the opposite sex and nobody has to alter their body to appear as such. This is pure fiction, and an evil lie.
There are no "true trans." Anyone who thinks they are being reasonable by saying things like, "Yeah, I get it. This may not apply to your daughter (who was gender-typical until she had her internet epiphany at age 12.5), and maybe there have been a bunch of people like her subjected to social contagion, but there are still a small group of people who are 'really trans' and must transition socially and medically" is just plain wrong!
Autogynephiles (and maybe autoandrophiles, if that exists) have a sexual fetish whereby they are turned on by the idea of being the opposite sex. There are many ways to deal with a fetish without forcing the world to pretend you are the opposite sex and medically altering your body. People with body dysmorphia that is focused on the sexual aspects of their bodies should be helped in the same way we would help someone with body dysmorphia directed at any other body part or characteristic, which ultimately leads to acceptance of their body as it is. Lastly, for those who feel uncomfortable with their role in society as a male or female and who are very atypical for their sex, they should be made to understand that boys and girls, men and women, can act in all sorts of ways, take on all sorts of social roles, dress how they want, and express themselves however they want. They may face some disrespect on occasion, but that's true for anyone who is atypical. They need encouragement toward resiliency, and toward self-acceptance. End of story.
". . . People suffering from internalized homophobia. . . anyone who isn’t completely comfortable with themselves .. . "
But there are things which one should not be comfortable with, and one is homosexuality. Human beings were not made or intended to go down that route. The health risks are as real, and as much of a serious warning, as the health risks of trans.
Homosexuality in fact was the innocuous-seeming thin end of the wedge which has reached its monstrous full size in trans.
If indeed we can hope that there isn't something more monstrous yet still to come.
Welcome to the Ten-Foot-Pole Department. Jennifer G's comment is such a benighted, dead-in-the-water point of view that I have no expectation of convincing the author of anything. So, I won't try. Instead, here's my two-cents on behalf of the millions of normal, sane, happy, gay and lesbian humans on this planet, myself included. I'm not here to convert anyone - that's not possible - or to convince anyone that there are more genders than there are flavors of ice cream.
Lesbians and gays are not the cause of the transgender pandemic. We are, in fact, used by trans activists to gain sympathy and get their foot in the door of the schools in order to indoctrinate children with "wrong body” pseudoscience.
Gays and lesbians are a very small but permanent percentage of the human race. It's "very small" because homosexuality is not an evolutionary strategy for the survival of our species. Nevertheless, gays and lesbians are born, not made. You discover it. Either you're attracted to somebody, or you're not. You can’t fake it.
Many of us start out in childhood feeling like we have more in common with the opposite sex, but that doesn't mean we think we were born in the wrong body. We just want to play the games, have the friends, and wear the clothes we like. Then puberty hits, and everything falls into place: I'm a girl who has a crush on my female gym teacher; I'm a boy who has a crush on the guy I sit next to in shop class.
Being gay is not a club you join by dyeing your hair pink, piercing your nose, or cutting off parts of your body. It's something you discover about yourself. It's how you love.
Trans, on the other hand, is mostly a cultural phenomenon, an ideological corruption foisted on children, invented by fetishists, pedophiles and millionaires.
Still, the libertarian side of me feels strongly that if law-abiding adults want to transition for whatever reason — an intersex condition for instance -- they should be free to do so, but with no legal carve-outs that would erase women's sex-based rights or endanger children.
I don't need or want a parade to be proud of myself. I need to be free to live and love, and marry if I choose, as long as I'm not stepping on the rights of women and girls, or indoctrinating and mutilating children.
" . . I have no expectation of convincing the author of anything. So, I won't try.. . "
I feel exactly the same :-)
On the other hand I would never say, and in fact didn't say, that Ls and Gs are responsible for trans. It was the acceptance of the one that opened the way to the other, - concepts, not people.
'Born not made', hmm. It's often said, but even if it were so, so what. The same would have to be said of a lot of very undesirable characters/characteristics.
"Human beings were not made or intended to go down that route. The health risks are as real, and as much of a serious warning, as the health risks of trans." Interesting! At the age of 73 I've never experienced such health risks and never had a venereal disease. I never needed a surgery to fix the configuration of my naturally occurring vagina; never took a wrong-sex hormone to look more whatever...well, you get the point.
Clearly, I was "made or intended" to come out as a lesbian. I know this because that's what happened. Nobody coerced me, bribed or threatened me. I'm a good person, and a good citizen too. I've lived a happy life without once getting arrested, spreading a disease, poisoning my neighbor's fish or playing the TV too loud at 3 o'clock in the morning. I know how to live among human beings, because gosh, darn it, I am one.
Because I was born that way, every day I experience the congruence of being myself. Like most people of my generation who discovered they were gay, I went through a process of self-acceptance in order to shake off the fearful attitudes ("homophobia") of people like you. Nobody recruited me into the gay club. I flowered, despite the culture's desire to trample me to death.
But please, continue to NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE around gay people, even though there's a 100% chance that you have unwittingly intermingled with gays and lesbians on public transportation, in restaurants, at the beach, in ladies' rooms, at work, in the supermarket, in theaters...and you were no worse off, and none the wiser. But, better safe than sorry.
By the way, "health risks" exist wherever people engage in sexual intercourse of whatever type. Speaking just for myself and my friends, I've never known a lesbian to get a venereal disease or AIDS from a sexual encounter with another woman. That doesn't mean it's impossible or never happens, but it's spurious to raise it as a signal feature of gay people's relationships.
At the risk of being redundant...oh, what the hell...yes, I was born that way. It's beautiful. I think it's what I want to be.
One of the truly tragic downstream effects of all this is the impact on civilian gays and lesbians. “The Groups” that are responsible for the fallout - GLAAD, SPLC, ACLU, HRC and the Trevor Project are the ones I can think of right now. They have done so much damage to this once uniting civil rights cause.
You are correct. I was once a supporter of all the orgs you mention except the Trevor Project. The ACLU and Planned Parenthood were my most long-standing charities…all corrupted, all useless, all ideologically captured Frankenstein monsters. The biggest disappointment was Human Rights Campaign; one day I opened up a mailing from them and discovered it was entirely focused on trans. Now if I’m feeling generous my donations go to Guiding Eyes for the Blind and the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.
Addendum: I should mention that I make a monthly donation to Women's Declaration International, which fights for women's rights around the world.
You might consider donating to Colorado Principled Physicians. We are on the front lines in this state and need funding to fight. This will end when the medical establishment is called to answer for being in violation of their oaths to Do No Harm.
What are the health risks for lesbians? I don't see any health risks that are particular to lesbians. Men who have sex with men definitely run higher health risks, mostly due to anal sex and promiscuity, but I don't think lesbians do.
I understand what you're saying about homosexuality. It is a deviation from the norm, and I think we should be able to say that without being called homophobic or hateful. But I also believe every society, in every time period, has had a certain prevalence of homosexuality, making it a quasi-normal deviation (or at least, a commonly occurring one). It may even be somewhat adaptive. At least before the (VERY recent) push for gay people to get married, it left a small percentage of the population free NOT to marry and NOT to reproduce, and perhaps therefore to do other important things.
Trans is a completely different animal. It was absolutely unknown until just a few decades ago and does not exist at all in many cultures. It demands expensive medical treatment, forced changes to language, and universal acceptance of hardcore delusion as truth.
I agree that changes to the law to accommodate homosexuals, particularly same sex marriage, were used as a wedge issue to open up a big can o' worms. Gay people should have been allowed civil unions and human rights, but marriage was a bridge too far. And once that was obtained, many activists felt bereft of their purpose in life, and the trans movement was right there to give them something else to occupy their time.
But " . . every society, in every time period, has had a certain prevalence of homosexuality, making it a quasi-normal deviation (or at least, a commonly occurring one. . "
The same can probably be said of every sexual proclivity known to fallen humanity, but it really doesn't make them ok. I needn't give examples, but you know you wouldn't use endemic prevalence as justification for all of them.
Those aren't sexual proclivities. Since you do need examples, what about autogynophilia, paedophilia, sado-masochism, and all the other darker paraphilias?
Would you class them all likewise as inborn, and if they are, does that make them ok?
Amen.

"....continue to NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE around gay people...."
You seem to have difficulty telling people and abstract concepts apart.
That’s nice. Have a good day.
People have lived as opposite sex always, it's only since trans has become for-profit industry that it has been corrupted.
One of the truly tragic downstream effects of all this is the impact on civilian gays and lesbians. “The Groups” that are responsible for the fallout - GLAAD, SPLC, ACLU, HRC and the Trevor Project are the ones I can think of right now.

As Rowling tweeted, follow the $.
You are correct. I was once a supporter of all the orgs you mention except the Trevor Project.

Believe Rowling has criticized Amnesty International & she used to work for them.
You might consider donating to Colorado Principled Physicians. We are on the front lines in this state and need funding to fight. This will end when the medical establishment is called to answer for being in violation of their oaths to Do No Harm.
