Trans activism is sexist and delusional
Telegraph ^ | March 27th, 2023 | Jordan Peterson

Posted on 03/28/2023 6:23:05 AM PDT by shadowlands1960

By denying science, the medical profession is committing some of the worst moral crimes in modern times. It must end.

What is a woman?

A defining question of our times, and the title of a now infamous documentary indicating the breadth of the political chasm dividing us here in the West.

Here is an answer, summarising current scientific understanding and coming from a research psychologist and clinician.

Let's start with the basics. Sexual differentiation, on the biological front – where the whole woman/man dichotomy originates, after all – happened two billion years in the past, long before nervous systems developed a mere 600 million years ago. The brute fact of sexual dichotomy was already a constant before even the basics of our perceptual, motivational, emotional and cognitive systems made their appearance on the cosmic stage. Thus, it could be argued that sexual differentiation is more ‘real’ than even ‘up’ or ‘down’, ‘forward’ or ‘back’– more so than pain or pleasure – and, as well, that its perception (given the necessity of that perception to successful reproduction) is key to the successful propagation of life itself.

The fact that such perception and sex-linked action was possible even before nervous systems themselves evolved should provide proof to anyone willing to think that the sexual binary is both fundamental objective fact and primary psychological axiom. There’s more: sexual differentiation is observable at every level of biological function. Sperm and egg are sexually differentiated; the 40 trillion cells that make up the human body each have a nucleus containing 23 paired chromosomes. Every single cell (with some minor exceptions) in a woman is female, and every single cell in a man male.

Think of the cognitive dissonance to argue drinking coffee by whites is racist and an appropriation of culture . . .

Compared to appropriation of a gender.

“Trans-genderism” is a severe & violent mental disorder unable to grasp reality

Great point. We ought to argue the ‘appropriation of gender’ point more since simple biology seems over their heads?

How much money has the transgendering industry generated year by year?

And who is paying for it?

There are delusional people involved, but this is being promoted by ruling class interests who are not delusional. Not about this, anyway.

It is part of their war on the working class and middle class.

“Doctors” making money hand over fist, because these procedures are never a one-and-done operation. Most require follow up surgeries to fix what didn’t “take” the first time, or to ameliorate some other damage.

It’s not just denying science. They deny God. They deny morality. This is not about mental illness. This is spiritual illness.

Solving the wrong problems doesn’t help.

Yes. The trans gendering industry is really post birth abortion. There’s big buck to be made neutering kids. I pity the kids fed as fodder to these evil people.

No one should comply with any of that nonsense. Period.

I believe anybody who embarks on body-altering surgery should undergo a thorough psychological and competence evaluation before the first cut us made.
I base this on the assumption that you can't fix mental problems with a knife.
This rule would prevent a lot of unnecessary costs, risks and post surgery pain and anguish.
This still leaves room for the few legitimate cases when people are born with malformed or ambiguous genitals.

This is all straight from the heart of Satan. It is, at its core, anti-God. The perverted leftists used to make the claim that you can’t deny gay rights because GOD MADE THEM THAT WAY. Now they’re going further than that...GOD GOT IT WRONG. What you were born with isn’t what you really are and in our own wisdom, knowledge, and arrogance we can ‘change your gender’ to your preference.

It has to be the most evil thing I’ve ever considered, all it will accomplish is leaving confused souls in misery and increase their suicide rate, the opposite of their claims. This is the deception of evil.

They will never have kids and will deprive themselves of any intimate sexuality. This does nothing but destroy lives, leading them into an irreversible lie. Those engaged in the system that pushes this are evil and need to be in prison, they are the demons enabling this evil.

Like Lucifer, when humans discovered their minds can invent (even in error), anything they want, they very arrogantly came to think they could re-invent their biological selves, to anything they “desire”, even contrary to their own personal biology. Maybe Lucifer has had a hand in human’s coming to that belief, he surely thought he could betray his own creation by his creator, and by that betrayal lost G-d’s approval forever.

Back when these "gender reassignment" surgeries got started they required the "patient" to live as the opposite gender for five years and undergo psychological therapy. I believe that was at Johns Hopkins Univ., which was one of the only institutions even engaged in this sort of thing at the time. The candidates did undergo hormonal therapy... they were also all adults. I don't know when and how that was all changed but it seems someone sacrificed caution on the altar of wokeness.

Psychosexual.
You’re not gay, you’re acting out.
Just like AIDS turns a body’s immune system against itself,
identity crisis turns the mind against itself.
What is the cause of your stress?
Identify and confront it, if you’re ready.
If not, then suffer.
Maybe we should consider a quarantine for you.

I’d love to read the rest of this but it’s behind a paywall.
