“Humanae Vitae” and the Catholic Church’s continued solid stance on the matter solidified my decision to be confirmed Catholic.

Then again, denying your femininity, delaying childbirth for a time, or even altogether, resulting in a life that is increasingly lonely and self centered ....could also affect one’s psychological state.

Not to mention allowing yourself to be used by anyone who breathes.

After a while, it all becomes really empty. But that’s not supposed to happen — according to the feminists.

Wonder what the hara-kiri rate for transgenders will be in a few years? Probably double the homosexual suicide or homicide rates? An unhappier/unsatisfied lot you’ll never find.

With some of these studies, there are other things going on in someone’s life. Sometimes those other things contribute to a state of depression and suicidal tendencies.

I’m sure they must try to “control” for that, but I’m not convinced they always get it right.

I take these sorts of revelations with a grain of salt.

If my significant other were using these types of contraceptives, I’d sure be on top of it to see if she couldn’t use something else.

I was detailed on competing medications for nearly 30 years. One company would come in with their information. A second and sometimes a third would come in with theirs.

There were always conflicting findings. After a while you realized you couldn’t always take these studies as the ‘absolute truth’, you would like to.

I would caution folks not to accept this report without listening to rebuttal arguments.

I suspect there is a real likelihood the impact of these finding will become less significant over time, as other information becomes available.

Ironically, one of the big mood-changes caused by hormonal birth control is the suppression of the libido. In plain words, the chronic hormonal imbalance makes you feel bloated and depressed, with the I-wanna-meter edging towards zero.

So just when she's supposed to be carefree and certifiably sterile, she's cranky, affectively dulled and really hard to jolly into it.

So if she does it, she feels used, and if she doesn't he feels cheated for no good reason, since she's supposed to be really into it now that she can't get pregnant.

With all the risks of copying the current politicized language, I daresay it's part of the long-running War on Women: that is, women as women really are: women who ovulate, conceive, gestate, lactate: fully functioning and complete in every detail.

That's because we --- men and women --- have somehow become convinced that men don't want real whole natural women. They want boys with boobs.

Hormones control almost everything in your body, and your body keeps them all in a very narrow range. Messing with these ranges is going to have major consequences for a person’s body.

Expanding on that, straights, gays, and transgenders are probable the three tiered groups.

The baseline would be the straights.

The increased suicide rates might be expected among homosexuals.

The highest suicide rates of the three groups, might be expected to be among the transgenders.

I don’t gain pleasure from this assumption. I just suspect it’s the reality.

IMO, God knew from the beginning what the best lifestyle would be, and He laid that lifestyle out as the model to be adopted.

As we veer off God’s plans in life, we generally run into varying degrees of trouble. Some folks then blame God.

I’d like to suggest folks re-connect to God, try to follow His game plan, and see if that doesn’t resolve a big portion of the depression they experience.

Striving to live a good life, has it’s rewards.

I will say that I am a great big sinner. I certainly do not think all straights live on some high moral plane above Homosexual and Transgenders.

We all have our work cut out for us.

Please identify the differences between the two respective characterizations.

While correlation does not show cause and effect - this is interesting..

It is strange that I had just looked at some older studies - and have wondered if BC is at the center of our societal decay.. I think it likely could do Permanent harm.

This shouldn’t be new - I remember talking to a lady back in the ‘70s that said the BC made her feel bad and cry all the time. I think the FDA has been looking the other way due to PC politics..

It is not a good idea to try to fool mother nature.. the endocrine system is much too complex for humans to truly understand.

1962 - when BC was introduce really changed the world - I don’t think for the better.

I’d be glad to attempt an answer, but I’m not quite sure what you mean.

It’s true, I HAVE been feeling rather thud-headed today.

Could you rephrase your question?

Hormonal birth control is like spaying in dogs ... it’s such a handy thing that nobody really wants to know about the downside. And I think it’s the same with vaccination.

The veterinary profession is starting to find this out.

You referenced, in the last sentence of your previous post, one characterization of women that you alleged men don’t want and one characterization of women that you alleged men do want.

My request is for an in-real-life differentiation between women you feel match the first characterization and women you feel match the second characterization.

“Then again, denying your femininity, delaying childbirth for a time, or even altogether, resulting in a life that is increasingly lonely and self centered ....could also affect one’s psychological state.”

This could be the root cause of the depression, not necessarily the chemical makeup of the pill.

Messing with Mother Nature will have its consequences.

Hey!
As long as they have a true, scientific control group of women who’ve never taken hormonal birth control....

PERHAPS THEY COULD INVESTIGATE THEIR RATE OF BREAST CANCER?

Extensive birth control and abortion put together fueled depopulation. Depopulation is not a good thing. The short film “Demographic Winter”. Gave some explanation about that.

It kinda makes sense.Mess with a person’s basic chemistry and you never know what unintended,unpleasant,consequences might ensue.

For purely shallow reasons, I didn’t want to go on the pill when I got married. I didn’t want to gain weight. Predictably, we had our first baby almost ten months to the day of our wedding.

It was later that that I learned about all the negatives of hormonal birth control and I am so grateful that I never took it. And even more thankful that we have the three unplanned blessings who would never be here if we were “careful”.
