Does leftist ideology create tangible psychiatric issues?

Study shows boys with gender dysphoria are more likely to have a mother with a personality disorder.

Even outspoken Democrat Bill Maher is asking questions of the delusional narrative propagated through transgender activism. In a comedic segment posted to Twitter, Maher touched on compelling evidence, suggesting the possibility that “California is creating” trans children. Well, California is notorious for their radical trans agenda like ‘drag queen story hour’ and schools promoting transgenderism unbeknownst to parents – so in light of additional scientific evidence, it seems like Maher could be right.

A study published on PubMed compared two sets of mothers. The first set was mothers of boys with gender identity disorder, and the second set – the control group – was mothers of normal boys. Researchers found:

….mothers of boys with GID had more symptoms of depression and more often met the criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder than the controls. Fifty-three percent of the mothers of boys with GID compared with only 6% of controls met the diagnosis for Borderline Personality Disorder….

The data showed that boys struggling with their biological sex are almost nine times more likely to have a mother who suffers from a severe personality disorder. So are they really born into the wrong body, as the transgender lobby and their activists would tell us? Or are they casualties of external factors, like a parent’s mental illness, perhaps caused by leftist ideology? The study mentioned above makes no connections between mental illness and “progessive” ideology, but other studies do.

A report from Pew Research Center found that the millennial generation is the most politically left generation alive. From the article, “Millennials remain the most liberal and Democratic of the adult generations. They continue to be the most likely to identify with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic.”

Leftism IS the denial of human nature IS insanity.

It must have been a couple of years ago already that I had commented here that I thought that liberals were trying to normalize the behaviors associated with BPD and also therefor NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) within society. I would imagine that this should be fairly obvious to anyone working closely with people with this diagnosis. Its good to see that someone has taken the time to actually do a study on this and I would imagine that we are likely to find a similar association with other issues championed by the left.

--- "...I would imagine that we are likely to find a similar association with other issues championed by the left."

An excellent observation. Between clinical narcissism and other issues, the solution cannot come from either mainstreaming them nor redefining them with politics.

As to the LGBT flag hugging mass murderer, that is testimony to the infection which is wrongheaded ideas gone viral. Social media is itself unsocial. And sin, such an out-of-fashion word, is real and eventually a killer.

Also a Gen X ‘survivor’ (ha)...
I wonder what the GID rate/transgenderism % is in societies/cultures around the world. Betcha it’s higher in very liberal areas. The question is whether that’s due to a causality or because ostensibly there’s less stigma and more freedom to be ‘genuine’.
Mind you, I do believe we see more due to the ‘cache’ of being, rather than the being...

[FreedomPoster]

Said another way, if you’ve ever encountered a vegan cat, the root of the problem wasn’t the cat. Same with “transgender” kids.

Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy is a thing.

[rlmorel]

Yes. Their putrid ideology requires them to hold in their conscious minds as true things that their subconscious knows to be untrue.

The resulting cognitive dissonance is as best unhealthy, and at worst, catastrophic.

Who are the most violent people in this country today, responsible for the most violent crimes, mass shootings, and murders? Leftists.

Who are the people most divorced from on-the-ground reality in this country today? Leftists.

Who are the people most in favor of murder by dismembering while alive innocent, helpless infants in this country today? Leftists.

Yeah, we can’t really say that “All older folks think that all younger folks are crazy and this exists in every generation” and that it is typical, age-old, common, and expected for middle-aged people to be conservative and youth to be liberal, etc, etc, anymore.

People under 20 now are subjected to INTENSE psychological and physical stressors that didn’t exist, or were of negligible impact, 50 years ago. They are not “adapting to the new,” they are being rendered incapable of having anything approaching a normal life. Like, EVER. Many of them will need lifelong care and supervision, if they even manage to survive into adulthood.

A huge majority of future adults will not be able to function at all, much less adapt to a changing world and circumstances.

That a prophecy is being fulfilled is exciting, but, haha, of course most of that prophecy bodes ill for “life as we know it.”

“Notice how everyone in the television news media, even Fox, is afraid to say that the Texas school shooter was a transgender.”

I didn’t know this, but, then again, I’ve avoided the articles on the subject due to hypertension issues. Recall the DC sniper was “identified” by FBI profilers as a white conservative. In all the subsequent news about terrorist attacks whites are the go-to initial suspect. Everything is adapted to suit the agenda. Frankly, I’ve stopped even looking at “news.” I wonder what the average consumer on the street (or living room) thinks of the media. The Soviets knew that anything they read was simply propaganda. That didn’t stop it from having an effect...which was to alert the reader that likely the opposite was true.

As an additional comment...keep a pen and paper handy when viewing YouTube videos. Keep track of the number of commercials and the count of LGBT, or “people of color” as the subject of the commercial. There’s a commercial featuring chicken nuggets. The off screen voices are two lesbians expressing their love of each other and the nuggets. If a white male is in the commercial he has a non speaking (lower paid) role as a “fool” or the husband of a person of color.

It leads me to wonder where we are going.

Or else, do ‘ tangible psychiatric issues’ predispose one to Leftist ideology?? 😄

[ClearCase_guy]

Yes. I think suicide rates are already high, but in 10 or 20 years I expect them to skyrocket as more and more people realize that they have no hope of ever having anything approaching a normal life.

[SMARTY]

Here legally??

I remember that Desmond kid (apparently has a website— desmondisamazing.com) one of the things he said and it stays with me: ‘people write and tell me how lucky I am to have supportive parents like mine’. He was answering a question about what people were writing to him (of course the parents must have told the host people were writing him)—that was his answer, at age 8, I believe. I’m sure the parents got the questions ahead and ‘helped’ him rehearse answers.

You’re right, much of this mess is crazy parents with many wanting to be cool on social media. Some are kids wanting to do the trendy trans or homosexual thing, again I think social media plays a huge role. Yes, I do believe there are some people who are truly mixed up—they are more rare. Just like cutting and anorexia have a cultish following—there are some truly ill and some will make themselves ill by joining the hives formed on social media. I see much of this behavior like the Africanized Bees.

Just wait until we have another couple of “pandemics.”

Also: This morning there was about a half-inch of snow on the front porch and Mr K (not the one on this forum) was getting ready to go to work. He came in the house after a minute (it was right around 0530) and said, "Uh, did you go outside last night or this morning?" and I was like, "No." So he said, "There's some weird tracks on the porch." I could tell he was a little scared (we have some really crazy crackhead neighbs.)

I went to look - looked like a barefoot person had walked around in the snow on the porch! It was freaky. I identified them as bear tracks. (He's lived here for 30 years but has never seen bear tracks - I did see a bear on the front porch at night several years ago.)

Here's what they look like (this is just a picture from the internet but they looked EXACTLY like this).

Interestingly, Mr or Ms Bear did not set off the security camera - it seemed s/he knew where to step to keep the monitor from beeping. I hope the bear isn't taking up residence here - I have noted over the last week or so that the deer who usually hang around here have been really scarce.

The word on twatter is that the trannie is just someone who looks kinda like Ramos, and not actually him. ABC DID “whitey-fy” his pic to make him appear more anglo.

[ChuckHam]

Leftism is a cult.

[EVO X]

I am about 10 years older than you and that is my recollection as well. I agree with your observation that the wide scale push of gender benderism is a relatively new phenomenon.

[Antoninus]

Yes. Next question?

I’ve been going through the links FReepers have posted. What we know is this kid may or may not have killed his grandmother immediately before going to the school, he may or may not have need a transsexual, he may or may not have been a transvestite, he may or may not have been bullied at school, he may or may not have attended this school.

It would be nice to have some facts, perhaps the media could ask some decent questions at the press conferences.
