A Therapist's Take on the Transgender Influx
American Thinker ^ | 3 Aug, 2021 | Elizabeth Naham

Posted on 08/03/2021 5:52:20 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The left continues to capture more of the institutions with the manipulation of gender dysphoria.

LinkedIn has decided to join the Woke Movement. Recently, when I clicked on my profile, I was invited to identify my preferred pronouns. LinkedIn could not resist being excluded by the Big Tech family. For the most part, on the surface, they have maintained a presence without politics. Every so often, someone posts something political, but until the last year or so, people have stayed away from this arena, sticking to professional endeavors. Over the last few months, however, there has been an increase in pronoun use. Why? Who knows. The majority of people continue to use she/her/hers and he/him/his. Most of the time, you see this in the younger generation, but now a few of the Boomers have joined the ranks, especially the mental health professionals.

As a therapist, I have an inside look at the culture, and what it reveals is not promising. There does not seem to be any reversal in the ensuing devolution of sanity. This past week, even my liberal clients questioned some of the latest actions and behaviors on display. One very left-leaning individual wondered about the reason for changing the language of something because the word no longer appeals to the masses. Another client who is more centrist shared how a relative who married someone (that is, someone of the opposite sex) now identifies as someone of the same sex. This relative announced to her followers on social media that they would be "unfriended" if they supported a particular conservative organization.

A very liberal client talked about the activities occurring at the client's temporary place of employment. A few adolescent girls are taking hormones to "transition" in their desire to become male.

Linkedin has ALWAYS been political. The only people who complain about it being political are the ones who attack any pro-Trump posters.

But then these were the same posters that change their icons to rainbow colors, profess their superior intellect for being allies to BLM and, of course, were all about supporting Obama.

But profess your love of country or support of Trump and it’s “StOp BrInGiNg PoLiTiCs To LiNkEdIn.” - signed the Chief Diversity Officer who just posted 15 gazillion stories of white oppression and how she’s making her company more diverse by firing the white guys.

This isn't just absurd. This is "slipping into a parallel dimension" insane.

I can see why the Global Reset/Commie crowd used the BLM/Anifa movements for their revolution, but the he/she/it/they fluid pronoun movement seems to have a different purpose.

It's almost as though someone or something decided installing communism wasn't enough...they/it are now aiming at driving society stark raving mad.

If they can get you to say that a man is a woman, then you’ll believe anything they say and do anything they tell you to do.

Ironically, it was actually through LinkedIn where I found the value of "preferred pronouns" in a professional setting.

I had received a business inquiry from someone who works in a senior management role in my industry. It was a new client opportunity for me. It was a foreign name, and I wanted to address my response to "Mr. So-And-So" but I had no idea what gender this person was and didn't want to commit a professional faux pas by getting it wrong.

So I checked on LinkedIn and found that it was a woman -- and saved myself some potential trouble.

Men are becoming women and women are becoming men in this confused world.

The attributes of each are different for good reason. Both are equal, but different in that masculine and feminine consciousness attributes prepare one for bonding and attachment and one for non emotional goal oriented perspective of the bigger picture.

If a mother does not have feminine consciousness it is virtually impossible for a child to develop in her womb. Emotional bonding is necessary.

If a man cannot focus on a goal to the exclusion of the emotions distracting him off course, he will lead himself and others in circles. Detachment is often necessary to do the right thing.

It is easy to understand why our country is in a downward spiral with all the emotional decision making in our leadership.

They don’t understand the attributes of masculine and feminine consciousness and how they are different in the person’s soul. And how they differ in thought processing.

Emotional consciousness makes a decision based upon feeling, falls in love with the decision they made, and only sees the facts that support their decision. As love is blind, they can’t see facts not in support of their decision.

Masculine consciousness gathers all the facts and makes a decision based upon the facts. They continue to gather facts and revise their decision accordingly.

I’ve been researching and presenting at conferences on this subject for many years.

Good Lord who cares - if you’re that sensitive just bow to the virtue signaling gods and stop using gendered language altogether.

I don’t know what you do for a living, but I run my own business. If someone sends me a message with a “Ms.” as part of the salutation, they aren’t likely to get any business from me. I proceed as if everyone else acts the same way.

“There does not seem to be any reversal in the ensuing devolution of sanity.”

No question, we have become a truly sick country.

I keep asking myself, how did “we” let this happpen.

Definitely part of the answer is in my tag line. They’ve managed to guilt-trip a big chunk of the population.

Question is, who are “they” and what means did they use to accomplish this?

The other question is, how come we the sane ones never lifted a finger to fight this insanity?

You are correct, unfortunately!

While it is a very good article, does it strike anyone else as a little bit odd that a therapist refers to her subjects as “clients”? I would think that “patients” would be more appropriate. Maybe the term, “patient,” is reserved for licensed psychiatrists, which this therapist may or may not be. I just find the terminology curious.

Yes, *patients* implies a board-licensed professional clinician.

Those of us below that level have *clients*.

No. Not really. Each is becoming a poor imitation or even mockery of the other.

I am referring to the shifts in consciousness.

I do a lot of work in the gay & lesbian community. Not to judge, but to help people understand themselves.

Gender identity is totally a function of the dominant aspect of consciousness, regardless of actual gender.

These changes are all a part of these special times we are in. Souls are growing faster than ever, and to become whole they must embrace both within themselves.

This is why Paul mentioned that it is better to remain single. It is ok to marry, but if you do, husband and wife become one in the eyes of God.

It is better for a soul to be single and find wholeness within self than to use another soul as a crutch for that aspect of consciousness that you deny in yourself.

Souls growing at different rates is also the reason for the high divorce rate in the past 50 years.
