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.”

DemocRATs seem pretty crazy to me. I don’t need a study to see this.

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

It’s going to snowball.

The current Leftist ideology, the blatant lying by politicians and the media, the corrupting influence of social media, and the stupid restrictions put in place for COVID ... these affect all ages, but most starkly people who are forming their view of the world.

Young people today are very crazy and they will grow up and have children and in many cases they will damage those children. The next generation will be crazier than this generation.

The answer to the subject question is clearly yes.

I grew up in the 70's and 80's, graduated high school in 1986. There was never such a thing as "gender dysphoria" then, there might have been a few guys who grew up gay but nobody thought they were anything other than the sex they were. Children aren't born thinking they're the opposite sex, if they come up with an idea like that it's because they were brainwashed into it by an adult. Nobody had ever heard of something like this until ten years or so ago. That tells me it's not inherent in human nature, it's a creation of modern society.

I think it’s a no brainer.. pun intended. There was an article about a test posted on here a few days ago where men with testosterone were more likely liberal.. duh!

I’m not familiar with the study but my experience with a few transgenders has been they suffered significant abuse. Sometimes even in adult relationships. I’ve wondered if they’re trying to destroy the self that was the weak and targeted abuse victim. That population is even more vulnerable than typical members of the gay community.

There’s no will left to treat these people. Since it’s crossed over to “civil rights“ and politics, the scientific and medical communities will be loathe to treat GID as anything other than a normal, healthy variant.

I’d rather keep politics out of science and especially medicine. The Left won’t do it.

I often say the only way to stop the crazy train is to crash it.

We all suffer greatly, but it is the only way to put a reality check into these people.

Sadly, this train wreck just might destroy the entire nation.

Looks like the studies show that 1/3 to 1/2 of all lunatics from the left-wing fringe really do have a mental illness. (The rest are just stupid, I guess.)

Even the Washington [Com] Post is saying that Salvador Rolando Ramos was bullied as a child for wearing eyeliner.

Washington [Com] Post:

Garcia, a senior in high school, grew up in Uvalde, Tex. Salvador Ramos was a classmate of his, but they didn’t become best friends until about eighth grade.

“He was the nicest kid, the most shyest kid. He just needed to break out of his shell. He was a person like all of us — he was like a good friend of mind that has never made me any happier,” Garcia said. ... “He would get bullied hard, like bullied by a lot of people,” Garcia said. “Over social media, over gaming, over everything.”

He had a strong lisp that Garcia said made him a target. One time, he posted a photo of himself wearing black eyeliner, which brought on a slew of comments using a derogatory term for a gay person.

The hypothesis is being observed as we speak.

Leftist ideology is basically government-imposed communism or collectivism...as opposed to individual freedom (i.e., individualism/meritocracy/freedom).

Without government-imposed collectivism, groups are still free to form as collectivists, families, and/or co-operatives.

The reason government imposes collectivism/communism is that collectivist groups have a hard time competing with individualist markets (i.e., free markets).

As an aside, keep in mind that any time power is given to the government, there are opportunities for otherwise worthless autocrats to gain power by circumventing meritocratic systems.

Now, in general, the issue of gender dysphoria is not, per se, part of the Leftist ideology. The reason it is currently is that it is one (of many) groups that Leftists/communists have identified as potential "victim" groups. As we all know, the way communism is spread in a society is by identifying "victim" groups and then turning those groups against the purported "oppressors"...thereby creating the chaos necessary for revolution.

Currently, victim groups being used by Leftists are the gender-confused, the sexually-confused, racial/ethnic minorities, etc., etc. Previously popular groups like "workers" have become too successful in the free market system to be convinced of their victimhood.

Psychology and psychiatry are subjective pseudo-sciences that do not rely on the scientific method and as such have been utilized since their genesis as political tools to marginalize, stigmatize and isolate political enemies. They were also used to collectively define undesirable/unacceptable moral behaviors which was useful (e.g. homosexuality, pedophilia, various personality disorders) to maintain societal norms, but with the left’s ability to dominate the narrative the right should not acknowledge their legitimacy.
