I earnestly hope and pray that every child and adult struggling with gender identity issues will find wholeness, peace, and happiness from the inside out. I earnestly hope and pray that we will live to see the day when every person who feels trapped inside the wrong body will find internal resolution without hormones and radical surgery. At the same time, I wholeheartedly oppose the transgender revolution and predict that, ultimately, it will fail. Here’s why.
1) The transgender revolution is oppressive. As reported on July 16 on Lifesite News, “Failing to refer to a gender-confused student, professor, or staffer by his or her ‘preferred’ pronouns could become a fireable or expulsion-worthy offense at the University of Minnesota, according to proposed guidelines currently under consideration.”
It is not enough to allow a biological male to identify as a female. Hardly. Society must conform, or else. If “he” now identifies as “she” (or “xe” or “ze”) and you fail to use the right pronoun, you will be punished.
This is already the law in New York City. And Canada has taken steps to make this kind of enforced speech the law across the country.
2) The transgender revolution is irrational. As a result of trans activism, tampons are now available in some college campus bathrooms. After all, we are told, men menstruate as well!
Yes, a woman who identifies as a man but still gets her monthly period is actually a menstruating man.
And we are supposed to believe this nonsense? We are supposed to shake our heads and say, “How quaint”? I don’t think so.
Recently, however, trans activists have taken things to a new depth of irrationality. Men who identify as women have declared that they get their periods too – just differently! So, other biological realities must now be redefined as well, and a monthly cycle is no longer a physical event.
To quote a “trans girl” directly: “Nobody teaches trans girls about our periods. We just get these weird times where we're moody and crampy and sad and we don't know why and just chalk it up to another reason we're not good enough in life.
“So, just so you all know: Trans. Girls. Get. Periods.”
Enough said. This is beyond irrational.
3) The transgender revolution is unhealthy. Trans advocates tell us that failure to diagnose and treat gender dysphoria will result in depression, suicide, or other forms of self-harm. And I’m sure that, in some cases, post-hormone and post-surgery, many individuals are more satisfied with their quality of life.
Others would point to the high percentage of suicides after surgery, along with the substantial number of people who experience sex-change regret.
But there’s more to be concerned about. A recent headline on a gay website announced, “Hormone therapy linked to dangerous health issues in trans women.” Yes, “Researchers set out to examine heart and circulatory health in transgender people, and found that transgender women face a greater chance of strokes, heart attacks, and blood clots compared to their non-transgender counterparts.”
And what about kids who are put on hormone blockers before puberty, then put on a life-long regimen of hormonal therapy? What will the ill effects be?
4) The transgender revolution is extreme. Scarlett Johansson, one of the biggest female names on the big screen, recently felt the wrath of transgender activists, withdrawing from her starring role as a trans man after protests. How dare a female actor play the role of a trans man when there are plenty of trans men who can play the role.
But isn’t this what actors do? It’s one thing for a white man to paint his face in order to play the role of a black man.
But actors act. They play all kinds of roles that are unrelated to their private lives. They play villains and thieves. They play athletes and politicians. They play liars and saints, good guys and bad guys. They play super heroes and super criminals. They play aliens and vampires. And all that is acceptable – unless they play a trans person.
Enough said.
5) The transgender revolution is dangerous. When you insist that a biological male who identifies as a female has the “right” to use a women’s bathroom, locker room, and dressing room, you are asking for trouble.
A headline from England stated, “Transgender prisoner who was put in a female jail despite not having sex-change surgery ‘sexually assaulted four women inmates before being moved to a male prison’.”
So, a biological male with male organs intact (and obviously, still attracted to women) was put in a women’s prison. Should we be surprised by what happened?
In the States, Planet Fitness sided against a female, former sexual assault victim who protested against the presence of a man (identified here as “Mr. Rice”) in the locker room. As explained in the case being brought by Liberty Counsel, “This is not the only incident with Mr. Rice known to Planet Fitness. Another woman reported that he exposed his naked body to her in the women's locker room at this location. In another instance, he was involved in an argument with another woman over use of the tanning room. Misogynist, anti-woman harassment should have no place in Planet Fitness locations, and violates Florida law.”
6) The transgender revolution is unnatural. There are fundamental, undeniable differences between men and women, which is why there is an increasing pushback against biological males competing against biological females.
Even among some feminists and lesbians, there is resistance to trans women being accepted as females. And it is for good reason. A biological male will never be a female.
7) The transgender revolution is an attack on children. Trans advocates would tell us that they are helping children, that they are saving them many years of grief and pain and confusion. In reality, for every child they might help (and even at that, in a temporary, non-holistic way) they are confusing many more children -- innocent, tender kids.
As the Daily Mail asked, “Are children as young as 11 really capable of making life-changing decisions about their gender?”
We are playing with fire here, and there will likely be many, many casualties before we wake up.
There is much more that could be said, but here’s a final reflection. For decades now, billions of dollars have been invested to discover a cure for cancer. Chemotherapy is not sufficient. Radiation treatment only goes so far. Other “cures” fall short of the mark.
In the same spirit, let us continue to pursue better treatments for those diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Surely there is a better way than hormone blockers for children, double mastectomies and sex-change surgery for older teens, and hormones for life.
Let’s work toward this while firmly resisting the transgender revolution. We owe it to our kids and grandkids.
They’ll never find the right shoes ?
They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.
The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.
A female friend managed a group of employees, two who were transitioning to ‘female’. They were taking female hormones. Every few days they would become emotional and start crying for no reason. They told my friend that they did not know why they would start crying. Reply was welcome to being a ‘Woman’.
I remember Christopher Hitchens describing North Korea as the most religious place he’d ever been. People invested insane levels of religious devotion to the Great Leader and observance of ritual because the punishment could be death or the death camps for 3 generations of your family.
Liberals have learned to harness religious devotion and call for their “believers” to treat their political dogma as sacred, hate the unbelievers, hunt out infidels and disbelievers even in their ranks.
They’re even bringing back shaming, shunning and public humiliations more akin to 1700s Puritanism than modern Christianity.
Thou shalt not question transgender dogma or whatever else the high priests proclaim today, and we’ll send a lynch mob to kill the blasphemer if you dissent. They’re harnessing powerful human emotions, but they’re undermining the ability to have rational debates in public because they don’t WANT those debates to occur and undermine their side.
Hate speech laws are the new blasphemy laws, since one side says they’re love, so anyone else must be silenced at haters. They’ve even appropriated Islam’s logic that criticism of the faith is equal to a physical attack on all the believers. That’s how Islam justifies executing atheists and those who question Islam or any aspect of the society.
You hear it on a more basic level when someone responds to criticism with “You’re attacking me, you’re invalidating me, you’re erasing my existence.” Their sacred selves are too good to ever be told they’re wrong, hate facts that contradict their narrative are attacking them, if you persist in disagreeing with them, you don’t disagree - you want them dead and gone.
The liberal merger of political ideology and faith is understandable when you realize they elevated the State to the level of God two generations ago. And as they embedded their world view via “education” at all levels and silenced all contrary views from the public sphere, the next generations became more religiously invested in the political ideology because that IS their supposed source of purpose, moral direction and all that is good in the world.
Because it is a literal matter of faith for them, it isn’t something that’s going to be corrected in a few years of Trump. We’re in a culture war that has taken generations to get here and will take generations to solve.
“7 Reasons Why the Transgender Revolution Will Fail’
8. Will be out-bred by regular people ...
The “transgender revolution “ is externally funded, and wasn’t constructed in such a way as to bring about a society wide change. The money people knew that was possible.
This is partially a feint in the communist long term plan, and partially an opportunity to get medical research done that would normally be blocked due to ethics considerations.
I’ve worked with a few. Beyond the hormonal shifts, they are also incredibly unstable. You can’t plug female hormones into a man and expect it to end well.
I don’t care if a man wants to chop his dicque (excuse my French) off and parade around with lipstick, or if a woman wants what the man chopped off so she can stand up to pee. I object to these insane people forcing normal people to bow down in submission saying “I accept.” I object to these unbalanced individuals forcing children to listen to their rot propaganda. And I will not use some silly-a$$ made up pronoun. If a creature looks like a boy, I’ll say he; if like a girl, she.
I resent my money being taken to pay for their operations. And I will not be forced to think in a way that contradicts truth.
Periodically, society becomes hysterically irrational. The tulip bulb mania comes to mind. The transgender and LGBT insanity along with the required political correctness will pass. I feel sorry for people who “ transitioned” when it becomes a mark of shame. Most will lead unhappy dead end lives. However, society will heal and survive.
As a fellow Freeper once said, "Their delusions don't dictate my reality."
Exactly how I feel. If you want to do this stuff, then you pay for it youself. There should be a law preventing young children from even learning of such stuff, it is child abuse. To do such things to young children is evil, period, it is evil.
Finally, I will NOT use these idiot "pronouns". How are they even pronounced??? And there are so many of them, how are we to keep up with it all? He, She, It -- have been enough for generations. I will not allow insanity of some of my fellow citizens complicate what is actually quite simple. He, She, It.
Transgenderism is a gaslighting step on the way to pedonormalization.
It’s designed to get people to question basic truths about biology and sex and to muddy the waters enough for the pedo wedge to get successfully lodged into the body politic.
And as we see, now that the trans thing has spread nationwide, pedo-acceptance is back on their agenda.
I predict massive class action lawsuits when children who were put on hormones develop cancers and other health issues later in life. This is horrible child abuse. Any doctor who participates in this, ought to have his license revoked.
The author is fully correct, but career-wise, I hope he has his affairs in order. Someone from that group will want to shut him up.
They know that, but their strategy is to brainwash children in government schools to accept their perversions as normal. This is why people should not let their children attend public schools.
I’ll be willing to bet at least one person with authority in the HR department where you work is a lesbian. From there, they can administer thought correction at peril of your job. Corporate America is terrified of being labeled racist or homophobic, so they acquiesce to the freaks and faggies without a second thought. It is insidious. There is no hope for them. It will be up to retirees and the self employed to stand up for normal folks and put down this trans nonsense.
The biggest thing driving the expansion of gender identity confusion...is Liberals telling children there is more than one gender. You are what you are. Deal with it.
