As society continues to evolve – and some critics might argue 'devolve' – into a more progressive understanding of gender and sexuality, the stakes couldn't be higher. To the dismay of many parents, this societal tug-of-war over transgenderism is playing out on today's college campuses like never before – and is hitting young women particularly hard.
One mother, Katherine Cave, recently called attention to the issue, telling The College Fix, "I am writing to you on behalf of parents who have lost their kids at college to the transgender craze."
"Many liberal colleges have significant percentages of students suddenly identifying as transgender," Cave writes. "And as you may know, all it takes is a simple visit to an informed consent clinic where girls get testosterone injections to help them look like males."
One such case involved a 19-year-old girl named Pam who, according to her mother, "fits the typical description of a young woman affected by this craze – very bright, extreme social justice warrior, highly creative, socially awkward/ADHD/Asperger spectrum, OCD/obsessive interests."
"While she was not a super girly-girl, she had never any masculine interests (not one) and has all the stereotypical feminine interests and traits (cooking, knitting, babysitting little kids, etc)," Pam's mother explained. "She went from being a feminist/pro women's rights to hating white males to now wanting to become one and wanting to chemically and surgically mutilate her body."
In yet another example of 'transmania,' The Wall Street Journal's Abigail Shrier shares the story of an attorney whose daughter left for college a "girly-girl" only to return having undergone a shocking transformation.
"The young woman went off to college—which began, as it often does these days, with an invitation to state her name, sexual orientation and 'pronouns.' When her anxiety flared during her first semester, she and several of her friends decided their angst had a fashionable cause: 'gender dysphoria. "Within a year, the lawyer's daughter had begun a course of testosterone," Shrier recounts.
Shrier argues that the "real drug" that reeled in the young woman "was the promise of a new identity," noting that a "shaved head, boys' clothes and a new name formed the baptismal waters of a female-to-male rebirth."
Brown University public health researcher Lisa Littman labels this disturbing new phenomenon as "rapid onset gender dysphoria." Unlike gender dysphoria, a psychological disorder which takes hold in early childhood, Shirer describes ROGD as a "social contagion" that sets in during adolescence "afflicting teens who'd never exhibited any confusion about their sex."
The Fix reports that this "contagion" has blindsided an increasing number of mothers "who are shocked when their formerly feminine daughters suddenly come from home college with mustaches, acne, different demeanors — even their breasts removed."
Critics lay the blame on liberal ideology being peddled at college campuses across the country. According to The Wall Street Journal, 86 schools offer health plans that cover everything from cross-sex hormones to surgery.
Meanwhile, this new movement is also drawing some unlikely critics, ones who warn the implications of gender fluid ideology could carry far-reaching societal implications.
"I've always been fascinated, attracted to the subject of androgyny... but the more I explored it I realized that historically the movement towards androgyny occurs in late phases of culture as a civilization is starting to unravel," explained left-wing feminist Camille Paglia.
"And the people who live in such late phases of culture – whether it's the Hellenistic era, whether it's the Roman Empire – feel they're very sophisticated, very cosmopolitan. But from the perspective of historical distance, you can see it's a culture that no longer believes in itself."
In the larger cities this dynamic has become a very serious problem. All the left needs to do is get them all together in one place and touch them off into a riot. In sanctuary cities , this could get incredibly violent as they are simply hateful/angry at the world for their own psychic and physical self mutilation.
Of course, 12 years of indoctrinating your kids helps, too. I doubt homeschoolers won’t be getting indoctrinating that White males are bad...
Who?? I’m out of the loop...sorry.
They certainly act like his disciples. Every day of the week.
[ Prophecy before our very eyes. ]
Absolutely.
I never expected this kind of stuff in America before the Tribulation.
The rapid decline is beyond alarming.
Had Hillary von Felonious Pantsuit gotten in, it would have been much, much faster.
People who have seen what damage Obama did can not support any of these Democrats. They’re like scoffers on steroids. They are intent on bringing down anything that was once decent about America. And then exporting same around the world.
IMHO, at the very core is the Devil himself, whom they enable and promote.
This insanity of “transgenderism” would, at one time, been a ticket to the psychologist, if nothing else.
A man is not a woman and a woman is not a man. There might be a few freaks of nature but that was in a traveling circus, mostly (pity those poor few).
However, to attempt to make this “mainstream” is nothing short of telling Satan’s lies to masses in the gibsmedat corps. That so many adults would readily follow these false prophets is alarming and a sign of the times.
This transgender is more of the cult of the collective which the Left has mastered to perfection. It believes that with the collective will of the useful fools, man can control nature. If that is true, we would have had a cure for cancer and caused the sun to turn down the heat with a solar thermostat. By marketing the impossible, the elites have a permanent job and endless funding for the money pit (and their pockets).
Satan is the author of confusion.
Want to destroy the human race? Have them confused about which is male and which is female. The basic building block of society.
God created Adam and from Adam created Eve.
God did not add in Caitlyn Jenner to the Garden.
But by the days of Lot, the Obama method from Satan was running rampant.
tagline
Satin told Eve that man was equal to God because he had given them dominion over the natural world and by eating the forbidden fruit they would be like God with supernatural power. The first indication of their folly was the realization that they were cold and naked.
They were O.K. naked. It was the imagination of sin that came with the knowledge of good and evil.
A problem we all have after it was let loose in the world.
We like to choose evil. Good thing there was a Messiah planned before the foundation of the world.
yikes
Definitely NOT silly. Completely obvious!
beelzebub(sp?) couldn’t have hoped for a greater transition to decadence/corruption/perversion/EVIL than obarky’s tenure yielded.
Yes, and it was pretty much without real effort. Nearly as easy as could be.
This Kenyan Fraud (of some stripe) simply walked out there and fools declared how great he was. Other fools bought into the lie and it became a mass delusion.
I daresay we’ve not seen the likes of such since Adolph Hitler. Granted he didn’t bring the suicidal war machine that Hitler or Hirohito did but the fact that fools around the world were praising him, when they didn’t know him from anyone, was astonishing. And I promise you there are still many fools STILL praising him. See any thread on Yahoo about Barack, Michelle and often President Trump. They PRAISE Obama night and day. It’s sickening how deluded they are.
He showed just how easy it will be for the real Antichrist.
I’m mostly joking when I say I half-expect him to move to Europe.
Mostly joking.
I’m sure he stayed in D.C. because he plans to keep on destroying America. WHO stays in D.C. after an office? No one, or certainly most don’t.
My guess - fake news.
