On Gender Identity: The New Religion

The idea of the "spectrum" is appealing.  It allows us to envision things on a continuum rather than in stark black-and-white, this or that extremes.  In many cases, the spectrum is an accurate method of description: sexual orientation, disorders like autism & schizophrenia & the color spectrum (ROY G. BIV) can all be best summed up in this way.  Biological sex, however, is not among those things.  Humans are binary in this regard--female and male.  Genetic disorders like Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia & Klinefelter Syndrome notwithstanding, there are 2 human sexes just as there are with all other sexually dimorphic creatures.  

So what then is gender?  

Gender is nothing.  A man-made construct like "race" meant to segregate humans into neat little categories in the social hierarchy.  Other species do not have genders, do not "identify" as male or female and certainly not as unidentifiable in-between or outlying genders.  Humans have personalities that are developed by intricate interplays between genetics & environment.  Personality includes things like intelligence, temperament, sociability, life philosophy & mental stability.  

The mislabeling of personality as "gender" is a recent and regressive phenomenon.  Rather than challenging sex stereotypes by being androgynous or gender non-conforming in other ways, men are instead labeling themselves "women" and vice versa, totally denying reality & demanding we all play along.  The idea that souls have genders separate from their biological sex is equivalent to a religious belief and is based in nothing but feelings.  When asked "what does it mean to FEEL like the opposite sex?" the transgender person says you just have to trust them because they know, even if they can't quite articulate it.  Sounds a lot like "walk by faith, not by sight," doesn't it?

But a woman does not feel like anything different from a man when she wakes up--there's no innate drive within me to wear makeup, flirt with men, watch shitty RomComs or do other stereotypically "feminine" things.  I didn't play with dolls as a kid & I hate wearing dresses.  I'm not nurturing & I don't want children.  Does this mean I'm trans, or does it mean those stereotypes are wrong & should be challenged?  And what even IS trans?  If dysphoria is not required & non-binary people also fit under the trans umbrella, what meaning does the term even have?  It's like saying I have an exclusive contract to work for CBS but the contract is not required & anyone can work for them (thus there's nothing "exclusive" about the contract).  

Digging Deeper

MK-ULTRA child victim, aged 8-10

So what causes one to be so certain that they're transgender?  There are a number of reasons a person might feel uncomfortable in their own body:  autism, being conflicted about one's sexual orientation, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, a personality disorder like Borderline Personality that affects sense of identity, a history of severe unresolved trauma or abuse.  These are but a few examples.  None of these is addressed by transitioning and will often be made worse by adding more problems in the form of medication side effects, surgical complications, infertility, difficulties finding a romantic partner & more.  And that's assuming said person is an adult with a fully formed brain when they make the decision.  A child ruminating on whether to socially transition, take puberty blockers or have her breasts removed is operating at a disadvantage, making a decision with lifelong implications during the most chaotic period of her life, neurochemically speaking.  

Just as in the days of covert human experiments (MK-ULTRA, MKOFTEN), the current transgender craze appears to be a project with a two pronged objective:  to make massive profit for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic surgery industries while collecting data on human behavior by the government.  Since it's illegal to do experiments like this covertly now, they're doing it in the open by convincing the public that minors can consent & by simply treating prison inmates like they always have:  as property of the state to be abused as they see fit.  "Puberty blockers are harmless" is the new "OxyContin is not addictive."  Transferring male inmates into women's prisons allows them to run this experiment on the prison population just as they did in the MK-ULTRA days, and when women inevitably get raped, impregnated against their will & murdered the government's response will be "woopsie".  Again.  But nobody will be held accountable at a high level in a meaningful way because they never are.  

Pres. Clinton's Remarks on Human Radiation Experiments (1995)

And all the while, Roe vs. Wade protections are being chipped away at which raises the stakes even higher for "people with uteruses" who can get raped in prison and other women's-only spaces.  There is no reason they can't continue housing transgender inmates in protective custody & separate wings like they've always done.  And with all the money we pour into the American prison system, they could afford to build new gay and trans housing units separate from the general population if they truly cared about protecting this population.  But pushing male inmates, many of whom are violent sex offenders, off on women is the worst possible solution to housing problems for those who "identify as women".  Whatever that means.  

There has to be a deeper motive to this giant social experiment being run at our expense.  Who's going to pay for all the unwanted pregnancies that come about in these mixed sex prisons?  The transmission of HIV and other STDs which are more readily spread from males to females?  It doesn't even make practical financial sense for governments to do this, so there must be a bigger incentive that's not being disclosed (see:  unethical human experiments throughout our nation's history).  

I Want a New Religion

This book kicked off the Satanic Panic with the help of psychiatrists

We have to ask ourselves why sex/gender is the only trait one can identify into or out of.  Why not race, age, height, species, disability or social class?  Anyone attempting to identify into a different race, for instance, is labeled either crazy or offensive/racist--and rightfully so.  Why don't I as a woman have a right to feel just as outraged when a man of any race puts on womanface & identifies as a woman?  

This is where the "cult" element comes in:  The entire trans house of cards is based on abstract beliefs & desires just like religious beliefs are; if there was any scientific proof that one could "feel" their way into a new reality, it would exist for conditions outside of sex/gender.  Psychiatry would also encourage anorectics to diet & schizophrenics to listen to the voices in their heads instead of correcting the delusion to the best of their ability.  Self-harmers would be encouraged to continue cutting to release their pain/frustration and the clinically depressed would be reassured that "life really IS hopeless".  

This obviously isn't the case, yet clinicians are practically forced by the APA to affirm the gender identity of adolescents irrespective of any other underlying conditions that may be present.  Cutter?  No problem.  Let's lob off those breasts for the ultimate endorphin rush.  Borderline Personality Disorder?  Psssh.  Your gender identity is still valid despite an ever-shifting identity being part of the diagnostic criteria for your BPD.  Gay child from a conservative family who is having "unwanted same sex attraction"?  Right this way aboard the conversion therapy--err, transition--train.  

So why the exception for this ONE delusion?  

The only answer is that this is a case of the experts getting it wrong.  Just as they did with Satanic Ritual Abuse in the '80s, Refrigerator Mothers in the '50s and lobotomies throughout the 20th Century, the trans "science" is another case of psychiatry fucking up royally.  Psychiatry is a soft science after all, one in which the very existence of various mental conditions is voted on by a panel every few years (and the panel itself is staffed by members of pharmaceutical companies--up to 70% as in the case of the DSM-V panel).  That's not to question the legitimacy of psychiatry as a whole--there's no question that well-established conditions like depression, bipolar disorder & schizophrenia are real & pervasive.  But just because the field is currently riding this wave of child abuse & homophobic misogyny masquerading as transgenderism doesn't make it right.  The explosion in cases of trans-identifying youth in the last 15 years is proof it's a social contagion, as is the steady trickle of permanently mutilated detransitioners who feel abandoned by both the medical industrial complex & trans rights activists who treat them like heretics.  

Unlike other forms of misdiagnosis, the trans trend is creating lifelong patients who will require millions of dollars' worth of surgery, hormone therapy & "revision" procedures to fix the cosmetic & functional issues (NSFL) caused by these still-experimental surgeries.  They're stripping adolescents of their developing sex drives with puberty blockers & rendering young adults infertile with cross-sex hormones all based on a "feeling" that's often created & reinforced by a mass hysteria on social media.  This is malpractice.  For the adult professionals in the room to encourage delusions & irreversible mutilation of the body while a person's brain is still developing is nothing short of medical negligence, and the bill will come due sooner or later.  

Until then, expect anyone who speaks up to be met with a chorus of backlash from the True Believers.  This cult has backers in major political parties including the Democratic and Green Parties, the American Psychiatric Association, Hollywood, the pharmaceutical industry & big tech to name a few.  If you've read this far & still aren't convinced, I urge you to watch this short documentary entitled "The Call is Coming from Inside the House".  You'll see the points I've made above illustrated quite vividly (and at times, graphically).  Please share this article & documentary anywhere this insidious ideology is being pushed.  

The Call is Coming From Inside the House

For anyone tempted to dismiss this piece as "transphobic," please be my guest.  But I'd urge you to dig deeper & search for a critique that goes beyond the equivalent of "Suppressive Person!" or "apostate!" if you want to avoid the pitfalls of the very cult you're being accused of belonging to.
