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.
This is exactly what it is a virus.
Amen.

Therapy needed, to find the source and to help people adjust to their own body and society.

Yes. Absolutely. Totally.
This should make its way to every school, pediatric office, counseling services, clinic etc...

All we need is inoculation against it.
Like, the schools could stop working against children and families and working for the virus.
And we need cult deprogramming if you catch it.
Wow, Thank you for writing this piece.
