For the author, have you submitted this elsewhere for publication?

I just bought ”Trans … et alors?”, a book with 12 interviews of transgenders, interviewed by Piet Hoebeke, an urologist at the gender clinic in Ghent, dean of the urology faculty at Ghent University, also famous as ”top doctor” on Belgian TV. In one of the interviews a trans person said: ”I didn’t know that a man could become a woman! And I didn’t know that a man can be born with a female brain. You taught me that, dr Hoebeke, in your educational sessions. This knowledge should be taught schools.” I couldn’t continue reading the book, too much xxxx.

This ist like a comeback of middle age.

The last finnish study proves scientifically reliable the negative effects of gender affirming care. I dort know how can it be, that this fact doesnt change anything.

There's some information that I've been looking for, but can't seem to find. Maybe somebody here can help me answer this important question. HOW does so-called "trans" happen? HOW does a man come to be in a woman's body? HOW does a woman come to be in a man's body? What is the biological, or physiological mechanism by which this occurs? Because honestly, I don't think it does happen. I think "trans" is just as "real" as Santa's elves making toys at Santa's North Pole Toy Shop.....BUT NOT MORE REAL....what do YOU think?....

It is a cult belief, like with Heaven's Gate.

In the past there were some weird men in their 50s who wanted to pursue their fetishes and railed against "gatekeeping". The whole "born into body trans" narrative was invented to get it all ungate kept and paid for by insurance and to justify the medical industry surrounding synthetic sex.

After that, loads of vulnerable young people latched onto the cult belief system which is promoted in schools, business, government, online... It is likely, that they'd have just pursued some other less permanent weirdness and then maybe grown up someday without GI leading to medicalization.

Transsexualty was seen as mental illness. Body dysmorphia as well. Only with uprise of transgenderism came the idea of identity instead of illness. Now many are caught in the situation that mental illness become thier identity.

Yep. And she is married to a "trans man", who works as a therapist (https://www.aoklcsw.com/). Lovely couple.

Thanks, Mom! Just visited the website. Under "About Me", we find this gem of a nugget of word salad: "Catching me by surprise, at the age of thirty, I realized I was transgender and embarked on my social, legal, and medical transition." I'd be very interested to hear, EXACTLY HOW their so-called "trans-ness" "surprised" them.... Get what I mean?....

I was just there myself:

Licensed Clinical Social Worker Dr. Aydin Olson-Kennedy https://www.aoklcsw.com/about

https://www.camft.org/Education/Events/2023-Annual-Conference/Ayden-Olson-Kennedy

I was trying to find the splashy articles about their courtship and wedding which were in the Pink News or something years ago - prior to PITT when I was reading 4thwavenow.com. JOK wrote about meeting Ayden at a conference. It was all cutesy. She also wrote about seeing how "he suffers every day to be his authentic self" and respects that so much. Dreamy. It has occurred to me that there could be a Munchausen thing going on here. They are obviously a lesbian couple. But, JOK's highly lucrative and status oriented career could also be a justification for her personal life?

By the way, I am having trouble finding the articles about their courtship and marriage. Maybe they were scrubbed?

You can also ask, why it isnt popular with other mental helath conditions, that one of the affected is chosen to be the therapist for all the others.

I think she should be rotting in a jail cell for serial child abuse on a mass scale.

I wish just ONE of mainstream media would publish this article. But they won't. Because if they did that would essentially be admitting that they, like JOK, are complicit in intentionally harming children & fragile young people. I'm praying for the day this atrocity gets exposed for the crime that it is.

What is more unbearable than committing crimes against children? Probably covering them up, yet that is exactly the strategy of the gender activists of various shapes and sizes. Couching one’s crimes in obfuscating language will not age well, and can never pass the smell test that obvious truth offers.

To realize how deep a doctor can fall you should take a look at Mengele. He tourched childreen and disabled claiming his dids as reseach. His twins "studies" were rather modern for his time. Not only he survived unpunished, but found enough people to cover him til the high age.

Declaring the truth is the lie can only last so long. Ask Goebbels.

Thank you for summarizing the profound lack of high quality evidence supporting so called "gender affirming care" capped off by the dumbfoundingly non-scientific “I think that living with uncertainty is okay. I think we need to drop our pursuit of certainty and work on our pursuit of compassion”. This statement reveals that the researcher JOK is just as delusional in thinking as children and young adults are in there assessment of this ghoulish practice. Unfortunately since they base the practice and belief on cult like mystical thinking, pointing out scientific fact to both her and the children will fall on ears, both deaf and belligerent at the same time. "Your non-belief/support is abuse/violence to me" is the result.

I think some of JOK's motivation is related to her marriage, see comment above.

Meanwhile, reputable doctors like Dr. Peter McCullough and Sabine Hazan and others have tried to publish peer reviewed studies on COVID and covid vaccine related harms with strenuous opposition and even retractions by the medical industrial complex. Unfortunately, I have learned my entire profession is corrupt. Follow the money.

Yep - Jennifer Bilek writes of the Medical Industrial Complex in https://www.the11thhourblog.com/

It is basically what President Eisenhower warned about, not that he imagined Synthetic Sex/people exactly.

"Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."
