Transing The Gay - The Transgender Eradication Of The Gay Community
“At the rate we’re transing kids, soon there will be no gay people left”. That’s the dark joke that made the rounds at the now disgraced and closed Tavistock Centre in the UK. Does anyone find that funny? I don’t. But the eradication of the gay community is exactly what is happening right now, today, thanks to gender ideology.
I grew up in a conservative midwestern town. The older sister of one of my friends was a classic tomboy. She wasn’t interested in anything particularly girly and loved the rough and tumble activities of all the boys on the block. After high school everyone went their separate ways and later, I learned that she was gay. She lived and continues to live a happy life with a committed partner. I’ve thought about her a lot lately. I have no doubt that if she had grown up in the last 20 years, she would now have a beard, no breasts, and would be going by a male name. She would have been trans-ed. Concerned doctors and therapists would have counseled her and convinced her that she was actually a man in a woman’s body, and that she would be at risk of suicide if she didn’t “transition”. Of course, not every tomboy is gay, but does anyone see any tomboys anymore? Nope.
I am not gay, but if you ask gays and lesbians when they first knew they were same-sex attracted, you hear a variety of answers. Some say they always knew. Many say they figured it out at puberty. Some say they figured it out sometime after puberty. But in this era of gender ideology, young kids who do not follow rigid gender stereotypes are being targeted and counseled that they are born in the wrong body. Kids who would likely grow up to be gay are not allowed to - they are being transitioned.
What’s really creepy about this assault on the gay community, and gay kids in particular, is that if someone tried to strategize ways to eliminate a specific community or religion or social group, without the group’s knowledge, transitioning that population via gender ideology is precisely how it could be done. Infiltrate the target group, pretend to be their ally, and eliminate the younger members of the group. Eventually, the group will shrink and disappear.
How is that strategy being applied to the gay community? All the organizations that have represented the gay community now also represent trans-identified individuals. You rarely see LGB organizations or references to LGB-specific issues; all the organizations are now LGBTQ (though some groups are starting to kick TQ off the flag). There is never news about LGB issues - TQ always comes along for the ride. Other organizations that have been friendly to gays and lesbians in the past, like the ACLU, now include and even prioritize trans issues. Gays and lesbians are forced to accept trans-identified individuals in all situations, even though around 50% of those individuals are quite probably gay and have been transitioned (based on statistics of detransitioners). This is a wicked, sneaky assault - trans the gay kids and in a generation there will be no more gays.
How is the gay community reacting to this assault? There are a few organizations that seem to realize what is happening, most notably Gays Against Groomers, Courage Coalition and LGB Alliance, but larger gay organizations and leaders are mostly quiet. It’s worthwhile for every gay and lesbian adult to remember the moment they realized they were truly attracted to the same sex. What if authority figures, teachers, counselors, doctors, all told them when they were children that the real issue was that they were born the “wrong” sex, and that they needed to take immediate steps to convert to their “true” sex or risk suicide? As a 10-year-old, or 13-year-old, or 16-year old, would they have followed the advice of these all-knowing adults? That is what is happening today. Gay kids are being “cured” of their gayness by being transed to the opposite sex.
Why is this happening? Is it really possible that in some circles hatred of gays is so intense that society would prefer that gays be transed? Transing gays is an openly suggested “treatment” in Iran. What about the United States, Europe and other societies that are presumed to be more open and tolerant? Doctors and pharmaceutical companies have a very strong monetary incentive to trans every kid they can find. Kids who don’t fit gender stereotypes and will quite likely grow up to be gay are ideal targets. Civil rights organizations need new causes to adopt to keep the donations flowing. And in many areas homophobia hasn’t disappeared, it has simply gone underground - not mentioned in polite circles, but still present. Transing gay kids is not given a second thought.
Parents are often asked a rather sinister question by doctors and therapists: “Do you support gender affirming care for your child?”. It’s a loaded question along the lines of, “Have you stopped beating your wife?”. You can’t answer “No” without looking like an unsupportive, uncaring parent. It’s more than fair for parents to respond with: “Why are you homophobic? I’m making no assumptions about my child’s sexual orientation”. Homophobia is present in every provider who prescribes “gender affirming care”.
In the past, gays and lesbians have not been welcome in society. The history of conversion therapy as practiced on the gay community is quite nasty. Being attracted to the same sex was considered a mental illness, one that could be cured with the right treatment. The treatments didn’t work. Patients were much worse off, suffering from depression, anxiety, and self-destructive behavior. And the patients’ sexual orientation didn’t change. Gender ideology is the new conversion therapy, and it’s working.
Starting in the 1990’s, the rallying cry of “Born This Way” allowed gays and lesbians to gain acceptance and understanding in society and allowed them to live their lives in peace. But now gender ideology threatens all the progress that has been made. I know that many gays and lesbians don’t want to consider this, but as things are going now, in a generation, the Tavistock joke will become reality: “...there will be no gay people left”. I’m patiently waiting for leaders of the gay community to start fighting this assault on their very existence.
“Infiltrate the target group, pretend to be their ally…” This applies to autism as well. I’ve spoken with parents of autistic children who have shared how trans activists are aggressively pushing their agenda and propaganda in these groups. I think it was autism specialist Tony Attwood who said a few years back, “This is beginning to look worryingly like backdoor eugenics.”
If I were growing up now, I'd almost certainly have been convinced I was "born in the wrong body," would have undergone transition procedures, and then come to regret it.
I have always loathed the term tomboy. I would say to people who called me that, "My name isn't Tom, and I'm not a boy." I was simply a girl who was interested in mechanical devices such as heavy equipment, and I liked to run and climb trees. Let hobbies be hobbies, let toys be toys, and let kids be kids without placing rigid stereotypes on them.
I never thought I was a boy. I never really wanted to be a boy, but I hated the way girls were ignored and belittled. I was also a "weird kid" who was bullied by my peers. Although I was branded a lesbian for my interests in "boy stuff," I was actually straight. Even in those unenlightened times (I was born in 1965), I wondered what was so wrong with being a homosexual. Since the boys at my school were mostly idiots that I had no interest in, and I had a rebellious streak, I never bothered refuting the lesbian label, although it meant I was in for even more bullying.
When I was in my fifties, I discovered that I have ADHD and am on the autism spectrum. I would say that many girls in this category have complex PTSD because of bullying. When I was fifteen, I was sexually assaulted by a nineteen-year-old guy, and I really started acting out. If I'd been offered the opportunity to become part of a special, protected class of people (trans kids), I almost certainly would have taken it. I was tired of fighting. I would have done just about anything to become someone else rather than myself, whom I had learned to despise.
The thing is, though, no matter where you go, there you are.
Some people do have severe, persistent dysphoria about their biological sex. The majority of adolescents presenting with rapid-onset gender dysphoria will desist. These young people need counseling to explore the reasons for their dysphoria, not cross-sex hormones and surgeries.
Transing away the LGB, the autistic, and the gender-nonconforming is not a joke. It's ironic that TRAs are always shrieking about "trans genocide" when they are the most celebrated oppressed class ever.
