The 'Transgender' Endgame

While listening to the Rush Limbaugh show this past Monday, I heard guest host Todd Herman interview an Australian pediatrician and professor on the issue of gender dysphoria and children. Near the end of the enlightening interview, in which the good doctor detailed the "serious and irreversible damage" done to gender-dysphoric children given radical surgeries and hormones demanded by the perverse LGBT agenda, Mr. Herman asked the important question: "Why?"

I don't recall the exact wording of Mr. Herman's question, and RushLimbaugh.com does not provide a transcript for guest-hosted shows, but it was something along the lines of this: why have so many decided that the solution for children — children! — suffering from gender delusions is disfiguring surgeries and dangerous hormone treatments? The doctor didn't have a good answer ready, but I think I know who's really behind this evil and what the endgame is here.

First of all, let it be noted the lightning speed in which we've descended down this wicked slope. With nothing in science or morality to back the notion that "gender is a spectrum" or that one can actually "transition" from one sex to another, in less than a decade we've gone from the foolish and evil notion that marriage is whatever we define it to be to sex (gender) is whatever we define it to be. As is the case with same-sex "marriage," children are again victims.

Not only children, but parents of vulnerable and deceived children are victims as well. In early 2019, in Public Discourse, the journal of the Witherspoon Institute, five mothers anonymously published their concerns over their supposed "transgender" children. The first mother wrote:

“One mother details how the state of Oregon allowed her daughter:
... at the age of seventeen, without my knowledge or consent — to change her name and legal gender in court, and to undergo a double mastectomy and a radical hysterectomy.”

Parenting has been usurped by the state. If you try to be a parent & stop this evil stuff you’ll lose parental rights & maybe even go to jail for a hate crime.

Thus, to stand against the idea that male and female are immutable, irreversible facts is to strike another blow against the idea that there's such a thing as absolute truth to which we are all beholden.

This irrationality started with Kant who claimed that reality is unknowable by reason, and so, what we think is reality is just appearance. If we can't know reality then there is no objective universal truth, only truth for me, and truth for you, or truth for society. This is part of the disintegrated mode of thought of leftardism that has been infecting schools for decades.

Plus they get more political power the more people there are in their “T” group. Political power is the reason why gay, lesbian, trans and bisexual have all been placed in 1 artificial group, known as “LGBT”. The only thing they have in common is that they don’t do sex the normal way.

Exactly. The whole purpose of the modern Progressive left, is to cobble together enough people who are dissatisfied with their position in society, for whatever reason, to create a voting majority to promote "change".

That is how they get political power. The problem, of course, is the cobbled together groups don't have much in common.

In the U.S.A., the disaffected are pretty much a minority.

Our side's problem is it is hard to motivate people who are well fed, well adjusted, and happy.

You should actually read the article

[imardmd1]

You used "Endgame" in the Article title. So why did you not simply excerpt the author;s statement of what he defined it to be, as follows:

As was the case with same-sex "marriage," this is another opportunity for those who want to rule their own world to thumb their noses at the laws of the Lawgiver. The legalization of same-sex "marriage" was never really only about giving homosexuals the opportunity to "marry." It was also always about sticking it to Christians and Christianity. In other words, as was the case with same-sex "marriage," this is a war against the truth — especially when it comes to matters in the sexual realm.

thus saving the reader a lot of precious time?

Muslims are the biggest beneficiaries of this movement.....how can you say a clitorectomy is “wrong” if a parent can choose to remove a boy’s penis?

[Eagles6]

Why is the Left allied with islam?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

They both seek the destruction of Western Judeo Christian Civilization.

I don’t know who’s behind it but I know who benefits: pharmaceutical companies. A transgender person is a permanent customer who will need medical treatment for the rest of his or her life. Expensive treatment. Extensive treatment. Hormones and suppressors and who knows what else. This is a money maker and it takes people who were otherwise perfectly healthy physically and renders them sick and needy forever.

DNA trumps all. ALL people age according to their DNA birth.

So, men-turned-women: you will BALD like the male you were born. You will always have a 5 o'clock shadow. Your belly will extend JUST LIKE your grandpa's did.

So, women-turned men: Your boobs will sag to your waist. Your belly, butt and hips will mold into one massive bulge.

Ain't life great?

I’m wondering if some of these conflicts arise with surging hormones of both estrogen and testosterone during the teen years. That has opened the door for truly evil people to step in and exploit the usual teen anxieties.

Parents who do not support their child's gender identity risk being reported to Child Protective Services and losing custody of their children. In New Jersey, the Department of Education officially encourages schools to report such parents.

Just let 'em take the kids. At this point, he/she/it is a lost cause anyway.

Liberals love being able to bring in the Muslim rep and say, “See, we don’t hate religion! This monotheist agrees with us your Christmas decorations are offensive.” They ignore the fact that liberal secularists are first on their kill list once they have power.

I believe that it was Theodore Sturgeon who wrote in one of his “Speculative Fiction” short stories about how children were suing their parents.

I can see that this may possibly come true in this case, given the irreparable harm that these treatments may cause, all in the name of “inclusivity.”

IOW, simply pure evil.

On thing not discussed in the article which I heard the professor say in the interview was that these so-called puberty blockers not only block biological development but also stunt development of the brain, which I've heard isn't fully developed until age 25.

And so we're lowering the country's collective IQ......... .what could go wrong?

[LucienCA13]

In 1970, Marxist-feminist Shulamith Firestone wrote that“[t]he end goal of feminist revolution must be…not just the elimination of male privilege but of the sex distinction itself.” Then “the tyranny of the biological family would be broken,” “unobstructed pansexuality” would replace heterosexuality, and “all forms of sexuality would be allowed and indulged.” Firestone argued that “[u]nless revolution uproots the basic social organization, the biological family…the tapeworm of exploitation will never be annihilated.”

Is it 2020 yet? I promised myself to at least skim the articles in 2020. I will start tomorrow. Ha ha.

Theodore Sturgeon who wrote in one of his “Speculative Fiction” short stories about how children were suing their parents.

Sturgeon was prescient. One of his stories was titled, "If All Men Were Brothers, Would You Let One Marry Your Sister?"

That’s it. Where transgender ideology is taught there’s an immediate rise in transgender students. They’re deliberately confusing young minds. It is evil.

They can’t name a single sexual behavior that they’d call immoral. The whole “gay pride” movement has been to push limits of what must accepted behavior. It’s gone way too far. Now coming after the kids.
