All your points are spot on! I appreciate your rational thought process & the evidence you provided that points to the truth of what’s going on. ‘State sponsored sexual harassment’ is a perfect way to describe men in women’s ‘safe’ spaces. Just because a man claims to be a woman does not make it so!! Thank you for your article!!
You are right in all what you wrote. And as a woman I am pretty offended that a man wants to replace me or any other woman. Women should be in arms. I never met a men in a bathroom or in any specifically female situation but if I do i will ask that man to "to get the hell out of here" and if the man tell me that is a she I will say 'Not, you are not". This is going too far!!!!
The uptick in LGBTQ kids in younger generations is largely heterosexual young people wanting to gain status by identifying as 'non binary' or 'bisexual'. I have two female cousins who each identify as non binary and bisexual, and they both are in heterosexual relationships with a man. One seems almost ashamed to say she is partnered with a man. This is a movement with Too Much Power. The pendulum is starting to swing back I believe. Unfortunately I live in Canada and it's taking a long time to see the backlash here.
I am quite active on and off social media in spreading the word about the harms to children, and I am armed with the facts, just like the author here. Just lastnight, a friend of 30 years, called me "hateful" and accused me of "spreading hate" before blocking me of all communication. All I've done is share factual information. I simply cannot explain the mindset of people who refuse to have compassion for victims, especially child victims, and parents.
While your pain is yours, and I am so sorry for it, you aren't alone with your feelings of loneliness. If you don't have at least one or two people who understand and support you, you might need to go looking for them. Please take care of yourself. 💗
Re: diagnostic codes? Just try biology. The people who decide the ICDM categories fail to consider the male and female binary, which has been a biological fact for at least 500 million years. The people who think they can change their sex do great harm to the delusional people who choose this path.
I’m afraid I couldn’t read all of the article after the following:
“What is transgenderism? A transgender person is a person who has a great discomfort with their body. “
In a word, No.
This definition would include people who are disabled and frustrated with their body, people who obsessively diet or exercise, people who are disfigured from disease or accident, women frustrated because they are “too tall” or have breasts who are “too small”, or men who are frustrated because they are “too short” or their penis is “too small”.
A person who claims transgender has a delusion that their mind is a sex which is different from their actual sex.
This delusion shares facets of other delusions - delusions of reference, persecution, erotomania, control, nihilism, somatic, and other areas. For instance:
- that all statements made about sex from anyone are specifically about them, from “misgendering” to use of the word “women” - delusion of reference
- that they are uniquely targeted by everyone, government, and institutions for “erasure” or to strip their “rights” - delusions of persecution and nihilism
- that their thoughts and feelings are controlled by a “gender” which differs from their sex - control delusion
- that they are very attractive when they assume trivial appearances of a different sex and it is a failure of others to recognize this because they have a “genital fixation” - erotomanic delusion
- that their body parts are not “them” and must be removed to “be whole”, that they have “menstrual cycles”, they can have “menopause”, that they can lactate and feed a child - somatic delusions
This trans delusion may or may not cause discomfort, and it may be combined with varying degrees of other delusions - most trans do not have surgery to remove or augment genital organs because they somatic delusion is not present in a sufficient degree.
Robert Stoller created “gender identity” out of thin air as a theory to describe what is more accurately termed “sex characteristics”. Identity is a permanent fact like 1 = 1, which is always true. These are things like eye color, birthdate, or sex. Since “gender” is a fiction it can never be an identity because it is never true; people claim any one of a number of fictional “genders” which can vary from moment to moment. This is not an identity.
John Money applied the “theory of gender identity” to genitally mutilate children to satisfy parents that their child had genitals which they had wished for. Riemer was one of many, many children.
Fifteen or so years ago, when I’d been speaking about vax injured children for about five years, I often had people say to me “But you’re not a health official or physician, how can you be so sure of yourself?” It pretty much never mattered how much evidence I presented for my claims. I can’t tell you how many times I had people demand evidence only to say, after seeing either the evidence or the source or both, “No, not THAT evidence!”
I used to get so frustrated that one day I decided that if they weren’t going to consider ANY of the reams of documents, videos, testaments (many from quite well know government health officials and scientists) that I brought to their attention, I would try a different tack. I recalled when, as a US census worker a few decades ago, I was instructed that when doing in person interviews I had to ask whether a person was male or female. I couldn’t just presume even if it was obvious. Some people were offended at the question and so I was instructed to inform them that I was required to ask it. If my memory serves me well, I don’t recall there being any other options than the two.
I decided the next time somebody said to me “How can you be so sure of yourself!”, with the obvious implication being that I’m full of myself, that I would ask them if they’re male or female. I’d ask them if they were quite sure, and if they’d never wondered. I only ever did it twice. First time was when talking to a man. He was offended and cut off the conversation. I don’t think he got the point I was getting at. Second time it was a woman who just looked confused before walking away.
Please tell me that God isn’t a tranny who’s decided to play this nasty trick on me to teach me a lesson.
Great summary of the logical strong points. I appreciate the quick rundown of statistics on male and female differences related to strength and speed in sports.
Thank you for this excellent article! I am a Lesbian and hate that we were included against our will with "GBTQIA" etc. Many Lesbians have politically allied with gay men and bisexual women, but "T" is not even a real category, and is het men who invade our community and erase us (including our Dyke March, organization, etc.), also self-hating women.
I've been fighting this mess for over 50 years and am still being stalked by the man who didn't even know what a Lesbian was until he became obsessed with me in 1968 and started appropriating my identity. I have never yet met a man who identifies as a "woman" who can explain what that means. It's all fetish and fantasy, plus female-hatred. I don't believe any of them have "dysphoria" at all.
For girls and women, it's more complicated since we are so objectified in patriarchy, pornified to where it's acceptable to have toxins injected into our bodies to supposedly look "beautiful," when fake breasts and the rest of the plastic surgery pushed on females is hideous, so in a sad way it makes sense for girls to rebel against this horror. Plus, we have nothing close to equality, so of course many girls and women want to have what males automatically get in patriarchy. But if we did have equality, and grew up with it, would any of those claiming to be men still want to? The pushback against Feminism means increasing female-hatred throughout the media. Who on earth would want to wear shoes that cripple their feet with excruciating pain, but most women in the media are wearing high heels? Plus the women are often half naked while men are clothes and dignified. There is a series of famous actors talking to other actors, paired female with male, and the differences in how they look is glaring and horrifying. Almost no women, even the richest and most famous say no to this. How does this affect girls except to join in to look grotesque, or to want to get as far enough away from it as possible?
One thing I wanted to pick up on from the essay, is the certainty with which you refer to transition as a mental health problem. But is that universally agreed? Is it listed in the DSM I can’t keep up, it’s in then out…
I thought, & I may be wrong that trans people themselves don’t want it in the mental category as a mental health disorder. I’m so unclear about its category. It’s different in different countries…states? And its relevance for insurance purposes
Excellent article, thankyou. I'm also aware that few refer to the actual cause behind the men who identify as women. These men are steeped in pornography. Their addiction knows no bounds. They are masturbating almost 24/7 to for instance... cissy hypno porn involving being degraded as a second class citizen which is a woman. Their deep self hatred and their hatred of women is acted out by literally penetrating our spaces because in their addiction they have no more boundaries. This is evil. And those in power know full well what they are doing, all disguised as progressive and human rights. One of the reasons that children have to be trans and to be transed is to validate these men when they claim they were like this from young. The mutilation of children is being used to validate men's pornography fetishes.
Thank you for a well written and thoughtful article on this subject. I consider this ideology to be as dangerous as the Nazi ideology. Unfortunately, it has taken over more governments than the Nazi ideology ever did.
And if you notice most of the parents that write articles for PITT say "my daughter said she feels like a boy" or "my son says he FEELS like a girl. If they have never been that how do they know what that feels like? If they FEEL like they want to dress a certain way or cut their hair a certain way then have at it!
I know what it feels like to be 30 because I have been there. I don't know what it feels like to be 80, yet!
Once again I see people bringing their political views into this group. Yes there is an issue for Moderates about supporting this. However extremists on the other side are just as radical about other issues. As parents who do have children captured by this, we are more than informed and aware of the propaganda as we've done our own deep dives into this. If the focus and support doesn't return to parents of children involved in this, I'm out.
Are you serious? Is this comment meant for the writer of this essay? If so, you are completely out of line. The only way for this madness to end is for the majority of people in the Western world to understand the reality and harms of this ideology. Not all allies will have children who have ventured down this terrible rabbit-hole.
Yes, I'm serious. I come here to get and give support concerning our kids, not listen to rhetoric from either side of the aisle. There's quite enough of that everywhere else. Leave it there.
Absolutely right! I read PITT for years after knowing a few distant relatives and friends that started down this terrible road. But then I unexpectedly became a parent affected by it. Thank goodness I was welcomed for the years before I was an affected mom.
Exactly right. While I'm retired from salaried work (I'm a farmer but the professions I used to work in included teaching, Developmental Specialist/Trainer, and school-based Clinician), I still care very much about what happens to kids and their families. I care what these parents are going through. I want to help support parents by speaking out in my community, to the school board, etc.

Why did the author refer to Hubbard as "she"?
Did I? Sorry, I thought I said "he" everywhere! My mistake!

Brilliant article. Well done to the author👍👋
Thank you for a well written and thoughtful article on this subject. I consider this ideology to be as dangerous as the Nazi ideology. Unfortunately, it has taken over more governments than the Nazi ideology ever did.
Good to get such a considered male perspective on this. We need all sized hands on deck to expose the corruption and harms of this vile cult.
thank you. Robert

So important! We have to keep trying to nudge people of all sorts including bystanders to be aware of the harms of gender medicine
