Let me be absolutely clear: I am in no doubt there are people who feel they are one gender while having the body of the other.
Living with such constant, internal conflict is horrifying for many of those affected, and it should never be ignored.
No one should seek to suppress another person’s genuinely held sexual orientation or gender identity.
But the question we must ask ourselves today is this – how do we decide whose needs are genuine? And how, then, should we treat them?
I have been a psychotherapist for more than 30 years and, in that time, I have worked with a small but significant number of patients who wished to change gender.
For everyone’s sake, I believe that surgery – which is irreversible – should only ever be a last resort. We should always begin by working to help the mind fit better with the body before we start altering the body to fit the mind.
Yet in today’s NHS, professionals are enabling hundreds – possibly thousands – of teenagers to have major surgery to change their gender.
It is being done, almost unchallenged, in the name of transgender rights. But in 20 years’ time, I believe we will look back on this folly as one of the darkest periods in the history of modern medicine.

I see that too and it destroys all ability to reason. A good example is the global warming baloney. Even as our winters get longer, colder and snowier, the global warming crowd are doubling down and even trying to insinuate that the colder weather is a result of global warming!
I am convinced that I will never convince them otherwise. Even as most of New England is buried in snow a week before Thanksgiving where before, it typically did not snow in earnest until after Christmas.
At our local school their is a male who thinks he’s a female. He demands feminine products every morning and is just waiting for someone to comment on it so he can sue!
I was a man trapped in a woman’s body once. Luckily I got out after 9 months! Whew!!
Nope, the vaccine link to autism and the destruction of millions of children with the political coverup to keep the cash cow on its feet will win the oscar for the pharma prize.
White Christian men invented penises and vaginas? Or only white Christian men can recognize penises and vaginas? What a blessing for them!
Right up there with dropping homosexual behavior as a mental illness.
How, really, does this differ from eugenics? This is far, far worse. I discussing with a friend about his friend who was “transitioning” female to male, and just can’t get past its irreversibility. The transitionee was 22 years old. I was told s/he had suffered this situation her/his whole life and had thought it through. I am not comfortable with a 22 y/o making that kind of decision.
Already got 6 inches on us south of you in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania,
This is where things get interesting.
White men created a “Social Construct” in which gender has been defined by physical features, science, as opposed to the desires of all possible utility.
For the Left, opinions are Truth and are valid.
Vaginas are internal organs.....what you see is a vulva....
It’s something that has been notably at work since Billy boy got elected. When certain notable media types decided to simply circle the wagons around him in order to prevent Bush from being reelected they arguably thought they were avoiding torpedoing another Gary Hart ... but they soon discovered Bill and Hillary came with much more baggage than Hart ever did but by then the Clintons’ owned their sorry asses.
In the meantime the rest of the media realized from their example that they could be more than just nakedly biased, they could be nakedly partisan and get away with it.
All of these, so many who ever voted for Clinton and bought into Hillary being the smartest woman ever, and all of those that they mentored, are all invested in them never having been wrong in the first place. And so they weren’t and aren’t ... just ask them.
In the meantime it’s left them open to be pulled along by every far Left manipulation to come along. They pulled up their proverbial anchors because anchors in your character and credulity could result in having to admit mistakes were made, they were then often convinced to throw those anchors overboard.
Now many just float along thinking whatever they’re doing or supporting is progress and whatever else is trading to haul them back to the darkness ... but if the Leftist tides drew them to the real darkness, as it is doing, they’ll blissfully go hence.
Those who once would have been horrified by the likes of AntiFa or the Muslim Brotherhood are now the tall grass these comfortably hide in and “tomorrow” may be trying on black uniforms and taking tMotB, totally reassured that they’re the good people, the kind people, the tolerant people.
Sounds similar to this:
"The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him."--Rev. 16:8-9
Yes, definitely.
Consider that we are seeing people who really believe good is evil and evil is good ... so when judgment is being poured out on them what will they do? Will, for instance, apostate “Christians” cast aside the homosexuals whose perversions they’ve championed or will they redouble because they already think what they’re doing by being tolerant/nice is being repentant?
Those who never knew much of anything about the Lord are NOT in danger from a Romans 1:18-32 process, a proverbial Taoist monk in the middle of Asia is not at risk, but to be an American, Canadian, or Brit who has known about the Gospel but has turned away from it? Watch out!
We are seeing people give every evidence that this is going on in their lives now ... how will they repent even when every jot, every line, of Revelation is exploding in the world around them?
It’s child abuse.
Agreed. Demons cheer for this evil. It’s helpful to spot the demonic now.
It’s a dark time in our world. How must Lot had felt surrounded by all the wickedness.
“change child’s sex.” CAN. NOT. BE. DONE. Y chromosome can’t be changed. Don’t even bother to try. Period.
Above all else, liberals want admission into the “in crowd”, and the “in crowd” will support any idea as long as it is against “the church”. The absolute worst thing to them is to be agreement with “the church”. And “the church” is not limited to the Catholic Church or any organized church, but includes anything that is good and moral.
The Enemy of man, who is the Enemy of the Lord, is driving this perversion of the created order. Which was designed by the Creator and written clearly of in Genesis.
Just one example of the 'wickedness' you mentioned is demonstrated by Celine Dion who just started a 'gender neutral' line of baby clothes. If you look up the commercial online I challenge anyone to prove it isn't demonically inspired. She is deceived like so many others and needs a lot of prayer for the evil she is promoting (Ephesians 6:12). She is just a deceptive tool being used in the spiritual battle pressuring others to do what is right in their own eyes rather than following the protective commands of their Creator.
Re my post #57: Even the Pope desires inclusion into the “in crowd” above doing what is good and moral.
They are experimenting on developing children's body's and playing with their biological sex turning them into the human equivalent of a guinea pig.
“Gender affirming” Frankenstein type experimentation on minor children. It creates a whole new type of child abuse embraced and promoted by some twisted ‘adults’.
The immanent lawsuits will never pay for the loss of health and lives these cruel experimental treatments result in.
