The demon in dysphoria
American Thinker ^ | 18 Sep, 2025 | John Klar

Posted on 09/19/2025 5:15:47 AM PDT by MtnClimber

As the transgender debacle spirals into greater chaos in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, the time is ripe to openly discuss its absurdity before more children are inculcated into this dangerous delusion. Simple logic debunks the preposterous idea that a person can transmute his biological sex, that doctors and parents “assign” a sex in mysterious ignorance of what the infant truly is, or that men should be allowed to play dress-up in women’s sports.

The Mayo Clinic discredits itself by legitimizing gender dysphoria as “a feeling of distress that can happen when a person’s gender identity differs from the sex assigned at birth.” Queer theory is a cultural Marxist confabulation designed to confuse and deconstruct. The postmodern disconnect from reality evidenced by the Mayo Clinic’s ridiculous effort is exhibited by the ideologically condemned notion that a person can be born in the wrong race. Under trans dogma, chromosomes and genitalia do not determine gender; thoughts do. Why is race not “assigned”? It is, after all, less immutable than biological sex.

Meanwhile, species dysphoria consists of “being an animal or other creature ‘trapped in’ a human body.” This, we are told, is psychologically distinct from lycanthropy, “in which the patient believes they [sic] have actually been transformed into an animal or have the ability to physically shapeshift.” Few people indulge this obvious mental health issue as a reason to “affirm” a person’s species identity. How is it that a person’s genetic identity as Homo sapiens differs from his genetic gender identity?

This is not to say such mental health conditions do not exist — it is to say that people who genuinely experience them suffer from mental illness that must be treated to help them conform to reality, rather than compel society to alter reality.

At the end if the day it’s pretty simple to me.

This is what comes from not having God front and center in your life.

Abiding in THE WORD would mitigate this evil.

It’s very clear about “man and woman” and the evils of homosexuality.

Leviticus 20:13

13 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”

-

Romans 1:27

27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

I suffer from economic dysphoria and identify as a billionaire, but my bank discriminates against me by not indulging my version of reality.

Part of the appeal is that it gives people a second childhood. Your first is when you develop an identity and learn to live in your growing body, and find your place in the world. Going Trans allows you to start all over and do it again, but this run has the delicious component of allowing you to stop in mid-adolescence because “society won’t accept you” and you just can’t be happy until every person in the world is absolute gushing over how brave you are. (If that happened, dissatisfaction would soon set in and another issue would develop.) These people do not grow up.

I once requested of a dysphoric friend and former co-worker "If I ever decide that I identify as a fire hydrant, please don't let me sit out on the street corner and have dogs p!$$ on me... get me to a psych ward and get me some help."

He didn't get the metaphor. Purposely.

I just posted an article about how the AMA is purposely pushing the trans agenda and awarding doctors and health care professionals for specializing in it.

In several links to other articles written by the health organizations one sees ALL personnel cited with their preferred pronouns - showing how they all buy into that evil manufactured version of reality. People whom other people trust with their health and very lives.

Just because they wear an animal baby onesie, doesn’t make them the animal. It all goes back to craving aTtEnTiOn.

I think Mary Shelley left us a wonderful cautionary tale about this sort of God-playing in her book.

“The Mayo Clinic discredits itself...”

On many issues. This is a big one.

How about this as an analogy?

A thirteen year old girl stands five foot six inches and weighs 110 pounds, but believes with her whole mind and soul and every fiber of her being that she is morbidly obese (body dysmorphia). She wants baryatric surgery and appetite suppressants.
Should her parents allow it, or should they get her psychiatric help?

This is exactly the same thing, except there are no politics involved.

For the millionth time

Gender is

A grammatical term

NOT a biological one

A perfect example of WORD RAPE

word rape:

where a lefty forces themselves upon the definition of a word for instant gratification and political gain .

Plain simply common sense logic is that we cannot transform ourselves from one sex to one of several others. It’s simply absurd, even laughable to think of it. Yet places like Mayo are saying it’s OK.

The entire medical/pharma establishment is discrediting themselves big time. Actually, they already did it during the Covid scamdemic.

It seems like the trust in many of the institutions we once took for granted has been eroded to a zero by the left.

There was a loud Trans in town. Every time he posted his picture of cheap jewelry and long hair, several gushed how beautiful he was. Of course his broad shoulders and defined manly face gave up the ruse. But his local friends all gushed.
