Trans is NOT Kind
This sub stack is full of stories of the pain “trans” causes parents. Stories of the pain of watching children make choices that will hurt them, descriptions of the pain of losing a child who goes “no contact.” This article is about the pain trans ideology causes to people beyond the families, people they may not even know.
People are beginning to see that the “trans” phenomenon is not kind. We saw that when the male boxers in the Olympics were punching women. Sometimes women and girls see it when a creepy man comes into the women’s restroom. We can’t see the women incarcerated with men. Those women suffer while shut away from the world with no escape.
Medical transition is not just doctors and drug companies being unkind to patients. Removing healthy breasts because of a “feeling” is unkind to cancer patients who have lost breasts. What does elective genital removal surgery say to a man who lost his penis when he stepped on a landmine or to a woman who was subjected to genital mutilation against her will? What does the elective removal of a healthy, functioning body part say to any person who had to have a limb amputated?
Thankfully most people do not know about a condition called interstitial cystitis. It inflames the lining of the bladder and causes the sufferer to feel like they have a painful UTI all the time. My mother suffered from it for over a year. At the time there was no cure. The suicide rate for these people was higher than the suicide rate among cancer patients. We know that vaginoplasty results in numerous UTI’s. The rate of UTIs is as high as 67%. Women have a 50% rate of urinary problems after genital surgery. Many of these patients have numerous UTI’s. The constant use of antibiotics to treat these UTI’s breeds antibiotic resistant bacteria. This increases the risk of having a long lasting or even incurable UTI for everyone. That is very unkind.
Whether it is puberty blockers, hormones, or antibiotics, all these drugs end up in our water supplies.
Think also of the people who suffer from MS or do not have healthy hearts and bones. Is it kind to voluntarily increase your chances of suffering these conditions because of a feeling?
Trans surgeries tie up operating rooms causing other people’s surgeries to be delayed. When the government pays for these procedures, it increases the national debt, and when insurance pays everyone’s rates increase.
I feel the greatest unkindness comes from those who promote the idea that attempting to change one’s sex is the only possible course of action for their suffering. Activists, therapist and doctors who will not first consider treating underlying mental health issues are being unkind, as is anyone who does not abide by “do no harm” and who fails to encourage using non-medical therapies for a person’s discomfort over drugs and surgeries.
Sometimes the kindest thing is to say “no” to a person who wants something that is not good for them.
100% correct, spot on.
Say "No" to lies and self harming ideas.
END AFFIRMATION CARE!
I feel like we should start a new hashtag. #BeHonest. There is no kindness or tolerance being shown by trans activists in my view. Only complete narcissism and a complete lack of concern for divergent viewpoints and others.
Every day I wait for more people to speak out and to rise up and denounce the harm that has been caused.
A message to any homos reading this: either we start to speak out and denounce this and show courage or this shit is coming back at all of us. We did not ask for rights that infringed on the rights of others. We did not demand acceptance from everyone, only legislation to protect us from persecution. We accepted that some would never accept us. Acceptance is not a given, it is an earned - our fight was won by talking to people and showing ourselves to be worthy citizens deserving of equal rights. We promised not to try to indoctrinate or harm children. We did not seek to destroy families; change language critical to law and medicine; we did not default to calling everyone who disagreed with us haters and ostracizing them. Make no mistake - real harm has been caused in our name and the very least we can do is acknowledge it and stop the madness of pretending that anyone can change biological sex. It is beyond homophobic to tell children that little girls and boys must be trapped in the wrong body if they don’t feel like they fit gender stereotypes. We, above anyone, should understand this. Beyond cruel to tell any child that they are less than perfect just the way they were born. Most of all, we have a responsibility to protect and fight for detransitioners, desistors and their families who have been harmed in our name. With our rights came a responsibility to others - that is what equal rights mean.
