Serious business

Let people dress as they please, express themselves, that's their business. Nobody cares. I don't care. It becomes a problem when people get the wrong idea, and, for example:

1) they believe that because they really wish they were the opposite sex and conform to opposite sex stereotypes for appearance and mannerisms, it actually makes them the opposite sex; or

2) children who in their childish whimsies (or reactions to trauma) begin to say they are really the opposite sex, and adults put them aboard a one-way medicalized train to trans-town.

ALL purported scientific evidence for the existence of some "innate gender identity" is grossly exaggerated, over-hyped, spun, misinterpreted and lied about. There is no evidence that any such thing exists.

Similarly, there is NO rigorous scientific evidence for benefit of an illusory medicalized "transition" in people who claim to be (or wish they were) the opposite sex. Existing evidence amounts merely to elaborate exercises in confirmation bias, selection bias, missing data and pretending that investigators' sloppy research methods were adequate. Current investigators count on most people having little knowledge about the relative evidentiary value of scientific research.

It's not enough that trans-hands are quickly raised, "I'm doing fine." Sure, I would have said that too, for the 13 years that I, a male, medically-masqueraded as a female. I awoke from that trance rather suddenly in 2013, and ceased trying to create the impression I was a "woman." A review of follow-up reports from early clinicians does suggest that a few patients found relief from the chaos and instability that had previously marked their lives; but this was not always the case (Meyer & Reter, 1979). Patients who had been denied medical "transition" were observed to have fared just as well as those who had gone under the trans-knife (Meyer & Reter, 1979). Then, as now, losses to follow-up were high; suicides were high; investigators seldom mention that such patients may have experienced regret. Meanwhile, if "regret" is even assessed, it is defined very narrowly. This is why we often hear the transprop about a "low regret rate." I'll tell you what, wait a few years and the regret rate is likely pretty darn high.

In short, evidence for benefit in the few, highly-selected, gate-kept patients of bygone days is sparse and unconvincing, and is matched by similar objective improvement in the lives of patients who had just carried on. Nowadays, however, the barn doors are wide open and "gender clinics" for all age groups are popping up everywhere. Thousands of children and young people are currently being "transed." Few if any clinicians even bother adhering to the WPATH "guidelines" -- "trans" services in the United States are essentially "on demand." This will not end well.

It's hard to imagine, but girls as young as age 13 are now having their breasts cut off so that they can pretend to be men for the rest of their (probably shortened) lives (Olson-Kennedy et al, "Chest Reconstruction and Chest Dysphoria in Transmasculine Minors," JAMA Pediatrics 2018). Plastic surgeons are flaying & inverting the genitalia of boys as young as age 15, creating a pseudo-"vagina" that will require intense lifelong maintenance. These surgeons admit that they prefer to do such procedures on boys who are still in high school, because their parents will be able to help them more (Milrod & Karasic, "Age is Just a Number," J Sex Med 2017). 

So many horrific things are in motion now with this socially-engineered mass confusion about sex and gender that I can't even begin to enumerate them here. I am all for people expressing themselves if it doesn't harm other people or society. They are entitled to their beliefs as well, but they are not entitled to gaslight, socially engineer or intimidate the rest of society into going along with their niche interpretation of reality.

Yet another wave of narcissistic rage sweeps through TransWorld

It is striking to see history repeat itself yet again, as a new batch of elite male transgenderists and their admirers lash out angrily to rebuke heresy and punish heretics. The heresy to which I refer is that which stands obstinate in its opposition to transgender ideology's "born this way" dogma, and rejects its ludicrous, flaky lucubrations. Among the masses of mincing men who insist against overwhelming evidence that they are actually "women," any scientific evidence that remotely hints at a psychosocial etiology for "gender dysphoria" must be killed immediately with fire and its bearer exterminated. This is the cultish sacrament of male transgenderists: the ancient transcycle of narcissistic rage.

This time around, it is rapid onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) that must face TransWorld's florid, torrid flames. A mob of petty tyrant transpals in petticoats gangs up to stifle academic freedom and tries to destroy the career of a highly regarded scientist, Dr. Lisa Littman of Brown University.

Given the irreversible nature of all current transgender intervention - drastic surgeries to remove healthy organs (breasts, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes in women; testicles in men); not to mention other serious surgeries to create a pseudo-penis or pseudo vagina); lifelong regimens of drugs that carry significant risk of cardiovascular events; and never mind that there has never been even one comparative study of cognitive-behavioral therapy or other highly applicable therapies to alleviate gender dysphoria without all the surgical & hormonal rigamarole - one might suppose that transgender activists would support Dr. Littman's research.

One would be wrong. Instead, they are doing their best to suppress it. Wouldn't it be better to weed out young people who didn't quite realize what they were getting into when they ruminated themselves into the trans industry's grotesque corridors?

It is an especially dangerous time for girls and young women who get the notion in their heads that they're "trans." Activist physician Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy of Children's Hospital Los Angeles has referred at least two 13 year old girls for radical mastectomies of their healthy breasts, and many other girls aged 14, 15, 16. Olson-Kennedy actually promotes the idea that such girls should have this massive surgery as quickly as possible after their self-diagnoses, even before taking testosterone. 

But this extreme risk of iatrogenic harm does not dismay today's dress-up boys, not at all. Despite "trans" industry research having chased its tail and gone nowhere for decades, it is crucial to their egos that the world believe it's "settled science," people are "born trans." Any intimation to the contrary triggers trans-tantrums.

Nearly 15 years ago, a different group of men who shared a common interest in intense mimicry of "feminine" stereotypes flipped their wigs and exploded in narcissistic rage when Dr. J. Michael Bailey of Northwestern University published "The Man Who Would Be Queen." This book describes autogynephilia, an "erotic target location error" and an important motivating force in most male transgenderism. Autogynephilia is a paraphilia in which men fixate on fantasies of themselves "as women," dressing themselves up in "feminine" habiliments and conducting predictable ancillary activities. It is a key characteristic of male transvestism. A large proportion of men who insist they are actually "women" were ordinary transvestites before they lost their grip on the frayed ends of sanity, and "transitioned."

Naturally, the men who were outraged that Bailey had let the cat out of the bag in a book written for lay audiences considered it right to send psychotic, obscene letters to his young children and try to get him fired from his job. They did not succeed in the latter goal, but they certainly brought plenty of distress and discomfort to his family.

All these years later, the anti-autogynephilia propaganda of these activists has become a kind of translore, bedtime stories for the latest lads in lingerie. And they do not rage only against Bailey - no indeed. Equally shrill, even more hateful ranting is reserved for Dr. Ray Blanchard, who first conceptualized and described the varied dimensions of autogynephilia in his work with hundreds of patients at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)  in Toronto during the 1980s and 1990s. And of course, for the high transcrime of suggesting that a sensible process of becoming more comfortable in one's own body was preferable to an immediate transing of small children, menacing masqueraders actually did pressure CAMH bureaucrats to fire Dr. Ken Zucker, even after the transprop was shown to be false. The lies they routinely propagate about all these men, as "received ideas" among transgenderists, are wildly untrue, and in many instances are libelous.

And now these frocked fools are pulling out the stops in attacking Dr. Littman, trying their hardest to humiliate her, destroy her credibility, destroy her career. They felt so threatened by the findings of this one little study that they mobilized their online mobs to disparage it and shove it down the memory hole. In reality, however, they brought this paper much more attention than it might otherwise have had, and likely helped raise the awareness of many.
