My letter below attempts to inject a type of thoughtful discussion into this issue I have not heard. However, I think it is really a pathetic effort in light of the Breitbart article linked to below which discusses the intent of discussions. I believe we have been here before.

In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association decided to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). Removal followed a two year campaign Newsweek described as ongoing disruptive, chaotic attacks on psychiatrists and physiologists. Yet throughout these disruptive attacks, no academic papers arose at conferences refuting any research previously done. Eventually onslaughts forced sufficient abstentions, under-votes, and apprehensive responses for a third of APA’s 17,000 plus membership to approve removal. Now states have laws against employing the highly successful therapies dealing with this mental disorder.

Women and Transgenderism

Representations about men entering women’s bathrooms and lockers rooms are asymmetrical. Points questioning the inclusivity of transgenderism are considered abhorrent. This approach results in a random walk through reflective life. When comforting lights from popular expressions drives decisions, no opportunity remains to consider insights such that as from John Hopkins.

Their Sexual Behaviors Consultation Unit conducted candidates through a lengthy preparation process resulting in gender reassignment surgery. Study caused them to question benefits and they eliminated the practice in 1979. Dr. Paul R. McHugh says, “that transgenderism is a mental disorder that merits treatment….and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder….These policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.”

Women are terribly uncomfortable with a mercurial revelation that they believe violates their inherent natural right to feel safe and private in their persons. Considering John Hopkins’ experience with reassignment surgery, why shouldn’t their concerns be superior when weighed against an initiative unproven to benefit and possibly enabling a mental hardship?

US elites have entered a post Christian, neo pagan era of epicurean decadence and hedonism. Over the past fifty years much of the population not only celebrates and accommodates homosexuality but drug use,widespread abortion, pornography, licentious sexual behavior, vapid celebrity and earth worship have become the norm. The popular and political culture reflects this reality. Obama was not elected in a social or political vacuum. Nor would a moral country seriously consider the vile, inherently dishonest Hillary Clinton as a potential President. Unfortunately this seems to be the common fate of almost all advanced civilizations after reaching their apex. It is understandable how the concept of the “faithful remnant” became such a repetitive theme in history.
