This article is not meant to attack young people struggling with deep-seated gender confusion. To the contrary, it is meant to expose the attack on these young people.
To be totally candid, it’s as if a spirit of madness has descended on our society targeting the youth in particular. It’s as if reality has been turned upside down and truth no longer matters – or even exists. And it is downright heartbreaking to witness.
I have been warning against the trajectory of LGBTQ activism since 2004, and over these years, I have talked with countless parents and spouses and siblings, many of them weeping as they shared their stories. But recently, after speaking to several thousand Christians in Franklin, TN, the accumulation of stories I heard was overwhelming.
A father came to me in tears, asking what to do for his 17-year-old daughter. Just two years ago, she was a committed Christian, telling her pastor that she stood with him in the fight for biblical sexuality.
One year later, she was identifying as male and threatening suicide if her father refused to authorize her treatments. Not only so, but her older sister had cut off communication with him because he had not capitulated.
A grandmother asked for advice for her grandson, who lived with her and her husband. His best friend, another little boy in the same building, was now wearing a dress. Should they still play together?
A mother broke down crying as she asked how she should relate to her daughter, now in her 20s. A few years ago, she came out as lesbian, then got “married” to her partner, but now has announced she is male and is in the process of transitioning. The daughter also professes to be a devoted Christian who never misses a church service and who opposes LGBTQ activism.
An older man told me about one of his good friends. Recently, at the same time, the man’s son and grandson came out as female, also threatening suicide unless they could have sex-change surgery. Distraught and wanting to be supportive, he paid for the surgeries.
And on and on it went, with one gut wrenching story after another.
During one of the presentations in Franklin, I shared the story of Keira Bell, a young woman in England who, after declaring herself as male to a medical clinic, was put on puberty blockers at age 16. One year later, she was receiving testosterone shots. Then, at 20 and sporting a beard, she had a double mastectomy, living her life as Quincy.
Not long after that, she realized that she was neither Quincy nor a male at all. Instead, she had other emotional and psychological issues. But in these days of transanity, she was completely misdiagnosed. And where did all this leave her?
“The consequences of what happened to me,” she explains, “have been profound: possible infertility, loss of my breasts and inability to breastfeed, atrophied genitals, a permanently changed voice, facial hair. When I was seen at the Tavistock clinic, I had so many issues that it was comforting to think I really had only one that needed solving: I was a male in a female body. But it was the job of the professionals to consider all my co-morbidities, not just to affirm my naïve hope that everything could be solved with hormones and surgery.”
Yet everywhere you turn, this is the new normal, even something to be celebrated, from our children’s schools to Hollywood and from the Olympics (with biological males competing against females) to the Equality Act.
I recently spoke with a father in Canada who was imprisoned for three months, most of that time spent in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. His crime? He defied a court order forbidding him from referring to his teenage daughter as a girl or discussing the court ruling supporting her gender transition.
How on earth did this happen? How have so many people, especially young people, suddenly become so convinced that they are not what their biology and chromosomes say they are? (Again, I do not write this to criticize but to understand, not to hurt but to help.)
And how is it that, according to President Biden and others, “transgender equality” is the civil rights issue of our time? (See here and here.)
And that important, well-researched, compassionately-written books like Ryan Anderson’s When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment have been banned by Amazon? And that Amazon will not allow Abigail Shrier’s watershed book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughers to be advertised on their site, even though it is still sold there?
And that men’s bathrooms on college campuses now carry tampons, since “men can menstruate” too?
And that a man who identifies as a woman and is married to a woman who identifies as a man has now impregnated his “husband,” so that “he” is now carrying “her” baby?
And that universities across the country will begin the fall semester asking students for their preferred gender pronouns, ranging from tey/tem/ter/temself to fae/faer/faers/faerself and from zhe/zhir/zhirs/zhirself to bun/bun/buns/bunself?
It’s as if a horde of demons has been unleashed and our society has fallen into deep deception and delusion. And the ultimate victims, targeted for indoctrination from their earliest years, are the children. (If you think I’m exaggerating, take a minute to watch this “queer, non-binary” pre-school teacher celebrating her accomplishments or this toddler reading through a gay ABC book.)
Whatever the cause of this societal madness, the question that remains is simple: what are we going to do about it?
Its the mental illness of our time. And not enough people are prepared to state the obvious out loud in public.
Its the "emperor's new clothes" updated to the 2000's.
The spirit of madness is those who seek control we all know who they are
a mental illness that is fostered and celebrated in the name of destroying civilization
I. Believe theschos are indoctrinating our hildren.
Mykid came home and told me how life was gonna be after a school meeting
There does seem to be a mass insanity - as if every fifth person was a little Caligula.
“This article is not meant to attack young people struggling with deep-seated gender confusion.”
Stop with the pandering to the left. The confusion is being created and exploited by people who want to tear down civilization.
I worked in “mental health” off and on from the late 1980s until the late 1990s and continued to work as an independent contractor for a psychiatrist until about 2004 or so. I didn’t work in a professional capacity, but as a transcriptionist and secretary. I came away from that with a very bad opinion of mental health, as I began to see that many people’s head problems were being dealt with lightly by the psych professionals and instead there seemed to be this gigantic push for everyone to declare him/herself as a sexual being, and whatever sociologic problems you might be having were due to the fact that people weren’t accepting of your sexuality. (Not that that can’t actually be a problem, but it’s certainly not EVERYONE’S problem, and I am not certain that it’s even that big of a part of society’s problem, in fact.)
I’m an obnoxious chick with a loud voice and so people want to think that I’m a lesbian. When I started working in mental health, those people REALLY wanted for me to be a lesbian. I was living with a guy at the time. (Some guys like chicks who have loud voices and ride motorcycles, what can I say?) It started to seem to me that everybody really, really wanted for me to “come out,” not because they perceived this would make me happy, but because it was what THEY wanted to see.
Therefore, whatever mental health problems I did actually have multiplied as a result of working around mental health professionals.
NOTE: When I was little I used to want to be a boy because boys got to ride motorcycles. I didn’t want to “be a dad” or squeeze girls or anything like that; in fact, lesbians give me the fantods and I always just want to get away from them wherever I find them; trannies even more so! As a kid, I saw males as having more freedom and that’s what I wanted - freedom, not a penis.
If I had been born 20 years later, however...you know how when you’re a kid and you break a bone you’re like the center of attention for having a cast on your arm? People getting jealous of you because you hurt yourself? Yeah. That times a thousand, I imagine.
I saw plenty of trannies and people who were gender-confused working in mental health. I never felt anything but sorry for them. They are, all of them, pitiable human beings.
Is anyone starting to wonder why doctors get so much respect? I’ve been wondering for some time now. I mean, if you need one, you need one, but....
Here comes Nursey with a needle in her hand! You were born a girl, but she’s gonna turn you into a man!
Its called: Child Abuse, Educational Malpractice, Medical Malpractice, Satanism...EVIL
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
It is evil. They are all grooming children. They prove time and time again by what they tell young children and by their actions that they are not born that way. They are predators that put seeds of doubt and confusion into the minds of the innocent to create more degenerates like themselves.
Until this elephant is removed from the room; I don't wanna hear about any other source with percentages down at the noise level.
C’mon, do better than that.
Give us a brief of said words in that meeting.
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— Mark 9:43 14 And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to[a] one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16 And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. 17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ Sometimes you just have to let sin run its course.One year later, she was identifying as male and threatening suicide if her father refused to authorize her treatments. Not only so, but her older sister had cut off communication with him because he had not capitulated.
When you've done all you can do - stand. Ephesians 6:13
Luke 15:14-19
If a few of these Change Agents experienced a life ‘altering’ event; perhaps the message would change back to Normality.
They’ve got to be taught,
before it’s too late.
Before they are six,
or seven or eight...
Whoa! Medical insider.
Pleasure in unrighteousness - sounds like now.
