Around 1 percent of female adolescents have anorexia. Think about that… one out of every one hundred young women are starving themselves, sometimes to death!
Should we celebrate these poor young women and help further their mental issues by agreeing they are fat and need to lose weight? Should we assist them in their various methods of self-destruction? Should we have our public schools celebrate, embrace, and reinforce their mental disorder? Perhaps install fun-house type mirrors which add weight to their reflections to help them connect with their perceived body condition? I think most would agree these would be ghoulish to even consider.

Johns Hopkins was the first US hospital to do reassignment surgeries. They were also the first to stop because the science doesn’t support it
Enough said
That is a profound analogy. Thanks for posting it! :-)
Very well written.
The only thing missing is a discussion of people who do not have gender dysmorphia ... but think they do or have convinced themselves that they do because it is currently a fad and a way to get attention.
Sexual deviancy is the new god in the West, soon to be displaced by the anti-god of islam. The more the left chases after the latest sexual “orientation” or “identity” fad and succeeds in forcing cowardly politicians and business people to “celebrate diversity”, the more they rail against “islamophobia” and call for increased immigration of the very people who will never accept or tolerate this deviancy. These people are paving the way to their own destruction.
“Should we celebrate these poor young women and help further their mental issues by agreeing they are fat and need to lose weight?”
Exactly! We’ve taken mental illnesses and delusions exalted them into virtues and celebrated them in pride parades, which really shows how sick our whole society has become. AND if you’re normal you’re now the sick one.
Great article. Let’s put him on the SCOTUS!!!
Those of us who read and study God’s Word “see” what Satan is doing to God’s world. We know we win, but we still must fight the good fight and try and change sin wherever it is in our lives and others. Otherwise we all fall into the abyss of taking our country into the swamps.
SO praying for a revival! Remember the ‘Jesus freaks’ of the 70’s?? Come back!!
Excellent analogy
bkmk
These people are paving the way to their own destruction.
...and in so doing, are facilitating ours as well. There should be absolutely no tolerance for such activity. Treason is the reason, and it must stop or we will all pay the piper.
Islam will collapse.
That event will probably bring about the restoration of temple sacrifice in Jerusalem.
Excellent! Why is mental illness being celebrated...
I agree with this to the bottom of my soul. You have the situation exactly right. I have argued this on FR many times and it is my opinion when the subject comes up in discussion.
Liberals, the most gullible people on the planet, can’t make their minds change from what their Lord Media has Told.
But the truth is, if you know toddlers and preschoolers with gender dysphoria, is that gender dysphoria is as real as diabetes. It’s a biological condition.
What can be done to truly help them? Since only 50% of people who go through the only current treatment, the ridiculous binary “switch to the other gender - you WERE ALWAYS the other gender,” have any sort of contentment in life, it’s a poor treatment.
My idea for treatment is to help children understand that some boys feel and act like girls, and vice versa. To counsel adults to make them comfortable with the same. Some men feel like women. Live how you wish, dress how you wish, but you are a man. Try not to mutilate your body, but it is legal to do so. Public education should focus on truth and kindness. These are people with special needs and we need to take extra care of them like we do with those with Down Syndrome. They are vulnerable to abuse.
Thanks for what you wrote. If only we could have some effect. The trans paradigm is so wrong and it hurts the patients (thus breaking the hippocratic oath) and it hurts the entire society.

41 percent. That is how many transgenders commit suicide.
Yes that too.
A sick fad.
Some people will do anything for attention.
As the old (?) joke goes, if a man claims to be Napoleon, they’ll haul him away in a straitjacket. If he claims to be Josephine, they’ll fit him for a dress and a wig.
If anyone, especially a child, claims to be a dog, a dinosaur, an eagle or an elephant, they are patted on the head with a small chuckle and a knowing admonishment to either let their imagination run even more wild or that they will forget about it tomorrow.
One possible deleterious effect of Judeo-Christian values, especially in a land where Puritanism once dominated, is that sexual topics are generally treated with grave seriousness and seem to draw the most - and the most sustained - attention.
What do maladjusted people and/or children want above all else? Attention - again. Maladjusted people and/or children are constantly seen and heard saying ‘Look at me!’
Tattoos, wild clothing, piercings, wild hairstyles, tacky car accessories, etc. etc. These ‘self expressions’ are simply sirens and lights in another form.
As for kids, ‘Hey Mom! Look!’ is the eternal refrain of a child begging for approbation. Kids’ antennae are highly sensitive to adult attention thus they are always probing for a reaction especially to potentially dangerous acts.
‘Transgenderism’ is an almost ideal attention-getter. It shocks, it stuns, it confuses. It provokes a visceral reaction because it contradicts both nature and experience. All of the foregoing are catnip to the neurotic and psychotic.
Unfortunately, cognitive dissonance in parents often compels them to endorse, support, and campaign for their so-called transgendered child, because the thought of one’s own child being so far mentally gone, especially through poor and/or indulgent parenting, is too horrible for them to contemplate. And so we end up with a double whammy of Munchausen Syndrome and Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy. Jack becomes Jill and Jill’s desperate mother suddenly demands that schools, businesses and the world in general be retrofitted and made accessible to Jill, who is in reality still Jack.
We are told that transgenderism, dysphoria, etc. is a natural, normal phenomenon that is ages old. If this were true where is the widespread discussion of it from 10, 20, or 200 years ago? Homosexuality, for example, is as old as time and has been discussed, even in religious texts, throughout history. I’m not talking about androgynous dress or behavior, especially in infrequent cultural rituals. I’m talking about the attempt to pass oneself off as the opposite sex.
We are also told transgenderism is a worldwide, empirical phenomenon. If this is true why are transgenderism and its proponents almost exclusively concentrated in First World Western democracies where a high standard of living has created a leisure class with enough time for such madness? And why isn’t there a relatively equal distribution of transgenderism across the nations and continents?
The final undermining contradiction of transgenderism comes from transgendered people themselves. To wit: a man who is comprehensively successful at passing himself off as a woman will often become upset that nobody has noticed (read: praised) his deception.
As an author at The Federalist once pointed out, it doesn’t seem that transgenders are happy unless people notice that something is amiss. As usual, political correctness is a War On Noticing.
When the Tranny Toilet Wars began, one of the pro-transgender side’s favorite smug but nonsensical arguments was: ‘These people have been using the wrong restroom all along, you just didn’t notice it!’
If that’s the case then why are they seeking legal redress? Why must their delusions be enshrined into law?
The other contradiction is this: gender identity is a social construct. And if that’s the case, what criteria can possibly be used especially if a member of the protected class changes his mind every hour? Are school principals meant to muster every student who walks down off a bus every morning to inquire about his gender identity and the restroom he will be using that day? What if Jack decides at 2 PM that he is now Jill and will be switching over to the girls’ room?
In sum, the transgender movement can’t even explain the origins, criteria, ‘rules’ or anything else pertinent to their cause. They merely want to disrupt and soak up attention in an era when selfies and worldwide instantaneous communication have the potential to make any individual known to millions around the world. Being normal doesn’t draw enough eyeballs, including from family members.
Mental illness gets a pass by democrats if it’s sexual.
It's not doing a very good job of collapsing. In fact, it's growing by leaps and bounds.
