Misunderstanding a New Kind of Gender Dysphoria
Quillette ^ | 10/06/2017 | Lisa Marchiano

Posted on 09/14/2020 3:28:47 PM PDT by tbw2

Each week, several new families made contact with me, and their stories are remarkably similar to one another. Most have 14 or 15-year-old daughters who are smart, quirky, and struggling socially. Many of these kids are on the autism spectrum. And they are often asking for medical interventions – hormones and surgery – that may render them sterile, affect their liver, or lead to high blood pressure, among other possible side effects.

The parents are bewildered and terrified, careful to let me know that they love their child and would support any interventions that were truly necessary. They speak to me of dealing with their fear for their child in terrible isolation, as friends and family blithely celebrate their child’s “bravery.”

Any medical professional that advocates “...medical interventions – hormones and surgery …” should not only have their license suspended but should be jailed !

Right now, in multiple states, if your child is even labeled trans or gender non-normal, the doctor faces professional consequences if they don’t railroad them into the transgender pathway.

“Professionals who question the unscientific party line of supporting gender transition therapy could find themselves out of a job.”

Life is hard for ugly girls.

Ever harder for transsexuals.

Many of these kids are on the autism spectrum.

...

Like many of the young people I hear about, Claire’s daughter Molly had had a series of complex medical and psychological challenges as an adolescent. Though profoundly gifted, the teenager struggled with autism, dyspraxia, and anxiety, all of which made school challenging. At 13, Molly developed anorexia, for which she was hospitalized twice. “There were years in there where I felt like my job was just to keep her alive,” Claire explained. Thanks in part to intensive psychotherapy, Molly had mostly recovered from the eating disorder by age 16, only to face new medical problems – she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Managing this condition required doctor visits and medications, some of which came with worrying side effects. It also added to Molly’s isolation and social struggles.

It sounds like the hormone therapy was only the latest in a long series of unnecessary psycho-medical "interventions."

Gender Dysphoria is mental illness. Enabling mental illness should be illegal. Profiting off Mental illness should be felonious.

When Obama was an Illinois Senator he and Bill (step on the American flag) Ayers had gained total control of the distribution of funds from the Annenberg foundation which they passed its millions on to lefty fronts offering courses to Illinois and Chicago schools pushing the what soon would be the BLM agenda. Author and investigative reporter Stanley Kurtz should be asked about this when interviewed about socialist plans for the suburbs. For at that time when Obama was doing this he tried to expose those radical left study programs over a program held by WGN radio but was threatened by protesters who prevented a coherent presentation.

Our Education System Fosters American Self-Loathing
Spectator ^ | 11-12-19 | Ziva Dahl Posted on Tuesday, November 12, 2019 5:36:27 PM by DeweyCA
The American Federation of Teachers, in its most recent journal, illustrates how postmodern ideology also dominates K-12 education. The issue paints America as under siege by the white supremacist power structure and urges its 1.6 million members to counter the pervasive “hostility and discrimination of people because of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation/identity, immigrant … or disability status” by being activists in the classroom. Teachers should defy our “racist country” by promoting victimized racial and ethnic groups and focus on the social inequities pervasive in America http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3793469/posts

Remember when liberals were big on keeping things all natural? Seeking natural, non surgical holistic approaches to.health issues. What can be more UNNATURAL than altering the "stuff" one was born with down there? Whats more deleterious to this balance in nature than pumping someone up with more testosterone and/or estrogen than their bodies are NATURALLY designed to handle, not to mention the meds used in these procedures which may have nasty side effects.
There's a reason Johns Hopkins no longer does these procedures. Medical ethics? Or do they see the writing on the wall? It won't come as.a surprise to me if one day class actions are.filed against the Drs, hospitals quack therapists, etc involved in trans therapies. Some of them who.went through these procedures as minors may even go after their own parents.
I can just envision ambulance chasers like Morgan and Morgan running ads such as "are you or a loved one suffering serious psychological or life threatening health conditions as a result.of transgendered therapies? Have you lost a loved one who died as a result of these procedures? If so you may be entitled to significant compensation. Call us for a free consultation ". And the same lawyers making tons of $$$ fighting for trans rights will.be making even MO MONEY filing these suits. Follow the money. ALWAYS follow the money.

In this article, it is discussing the deliberate targeting of autistic girls for “conversion”. Telling them that their relative lack in gossip, clothing and classic feminine issues means they’re really guys. Lying to them that becoming “transmen” will solve all their problems, because they can continue to socialize with the guys and be more accepted.

I’ve argued that “gender dysphoria” is the ONLY politically endorsed mental illness, barring homosexuality.

A boy gets molested by a dude and is left with homosexual preferences? Illegal to get counseling except to not be so upset about now being homosexual.

A girl decides she’s a guy after being molested by men, or an autistic girl thinks that becoming a boy will make her more normal than being a tomboy? The state in many cases says you MUST push them into identifying as and “becoming” the opposite sex.

True. “trans” become permanent patients, while homosexuals are only at increased odds of needing treatment for STDs.

The kid is a wreck.

I can’t help but think the parenting is playing a role.

Personally, I’m getting down right Cultural Revolution Method in my opinions on how the degenerate sub-human filth infesting so many aspects of our society should be dealt with.

Maybe Spanish Inquisitional too.

Everyone in the “medical industry” that plays into this destruction of bodies and lives should be...

And every gov bureaucrat...

And every professional politician...

And a whole slew of the teaching industry...

And on and on and on.

The herd needs culling.

“Life is hard for ugly girls.”

Was ugly a factor? She had dates in high school. Then got a buzz cut. That would make her unattractive.

An actuary friend was telling me that he observed many male actuaries he knew had wives that were tomboys. Rather than let nature take its course I wonder if social media and media in general are creating unrealistic expectations of what life should be. Extraordinary actions are being encouraged to impose a “fix” for these different individuals.

Forget it. Those kids are already doomeed. I doubt they have fathers in the house and don’t go to church. And the parent/s have bought in to all the transtrending garbage and looking to be the next “big thing” to gain international fame and attention for their and the girls know exactly how to manipulate the system.
