Study Shows Mothers of Boys With Gender Issues Are Mental
PJ Media ^ | 04/23/2023 | Athena Thorne

The abstract of a scientific study undertaken in 1994 has been making the rounds on social media, and it is shocking on two levels. The first wave of shock (although not surprise) comes at you from what the study discovered: the mothers of gender dysphoric boys tend to suffer from a host of mental illnesses of their own.

The study (full text can be found here), “Mothers of boys with gender identity disorder: a comparison of matched controls,” was performed by researchers Sonia Marantz and Susan Coates, both of whom are Ph.D.s. The abstract details their predictable but sad nonetheless findings:

This pilot study compared mothers of boys with gender identity disorder (GID) with mothers of normal boys to determine whether differences in psychopathology and child-rearing attitudes and practices could be identified. Results of the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines and the Beck Depression Inventory revealed that mothers of boys with GID had more symptoms of depression and more often met the criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder than the controls. Fifty-three percent of the mothers of boys with GID compared with only 6% of controls met the diagnosis for Borderline Personality Disorder on the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines or had symptoms of depression on the Beck Depression Inventory. Results of the Summers and Walsh Symbiosis Scale suggested that mothers of probands had child-rearing attitudes and practices that encouraged symbiosis and discouraged the development of autonomy.

While depression is no picnic, I wouldn’t wish Borderline Personality Disorder on anyone. The National Institute of Mental Health tells us the symptoms can include:

There’s a shocker. It’s pretty obvious that Munchausen-by-proxy is a big driver of the child trans insanity sweeping the US.

(And may there be a special place in hell for men who abandon their sons to depraved women who act out by feminizing and castrating their captive boys. It’s one thing to stick it in crazy and then choose not to spend your life with her — no one can blame you — but it’s another thing to abandon your own flesh and blood to such a fate. Be a man and fight for your children.)

Most homosexual men loathe their (angry) father too. If they had one. And they are mother enmeshed, with crazy mothers.

I know a young woman who was raised by her father. He was a functioning mentally ill person and she will be little better as she ages. My comment is to point out that if the main care-giving person involved in a child’s life is mentally ill, it will impact the child. This is true if the main caregiver is man, woman or teddy bear.

While only anecdotal it seems to me 40% of women are on psychotropic drugs, and I wonder how many are going untreated.

As we've seen, many of these evil witches start "transitioning" their sons at a very young age.

The boys are, obviously, too young to know what is going on or to fight against it.

I have a second cousin with gender issues. Mother was an alcoholic and lost custody. Dad was self centered and dumped his daughter on her grandmother.

Poor kid suffered weight issues and then gender issues.

It’s been known since ancient times that insanity is not only hereditary but is also contagious.
