Transgenderism Remains a Mental Illness, Part I

By Don Fisher, Jr. 

Accompanying the horrifying news today that a mass shooting took place at a Christian elementary school near Nashville, TN was the bizarre background information about the alleged assailant.  A troubled young woman has been blamed for the killing of three adults and three children, and she identified herself as a transgender person, according to online profiles she left behind.

Audrey Elizabeth Hale, age 28, had once been a student at Covenant Presbyterian Church's school, which she returned to yesterday to gun down others.  Her motives for slaughtering six innocent people aren't clear, but it's obvious to anyone that she suffered from one or more mental illnesses.  Whether or not we find out what inner demons drove her to her fatal actions today, we know that her foray into transgenderism should've prompted those who knew her to seek competent psychological counseling.

In a sane society, people do not pretend to magically transform into the other sex (and yes, there are only two categories of reproductive sex for humans), nor do we allow people to dictate their “preferred pronouns.”  Sexual identity is set at birth, and barring medical anomalies or a doctor's faulty vision, that is our actual sex until we die.  At least that was the case until recently when the justifiably mentally ill and the radical Left (and those categories often overlap) demanded that we play along with their twisted game of make-believe and agree that men and women can somehow scientifically “transition” to the other sex..........To Read More.....

My Take -  It appears some of these "trans" end up having successful lives, but it also appears that's not the norm, not to mention the serious long term health consequences.  While they have the right to live their lives as they see fit, and I'm more than happy to leave them alone, they don't accept that, as with all things "left"; nothing is ever enough.  

What they don't have the right to do is impact the lives of children with impressionable minds.  If this is a mental disorder, then what kind of mental framework do the parents of these children possess who are allowing this?  That's really the issue.  

I think you will find this multi-linked discussion more than interesting.  While I published this on April 6th, 2023, I've added more links.  I will continue to add them as they appear.  I'm also considering republishing this as the number of articles increase.  

This is turning into a national nightmare where every cultural and legal framework of American society is being turned upside down, and as in all things "left", violence or the threat of violence is a moving force. 

Here is my file, and this is 1984. 

 

Children

  • Children Watch Transgender Adults Strip Naked in ‘Body Positive’ TV Show - Kurt Zindulka -  Britain’s publicly owned Channel 4 network has debuted a “body positive” television programme in which full-grown adults, including post-operation transgender individuals, strip down naked in front of children to supposedly educate youngsters on different body types. This week, Channel 4, the left-leaning publicly owned, commercially funded network, began its six-part series Naked Education hosted by Anna Richardson, known for hosting a variety of other body-based programmes including a naked dating show on the same network................
  • Drag Queens to March on Easter to Protest Laws Protecting Children, David Ng Drag queens are set to march on Easter Sunday in West Hollywood, California, to protest the growing number of state laws designed to protect children from gender transitions and sexually explicit drag shows.  None of these laws applies to California. The rally, billed as “Drag March LA,” will take place in L.A.’s gayest neighborhood, with drag queens marching down Santa Monica Blvd. RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants including Kerri Colby and Honey Davenport are expected to participate.............Transgenderism was classified by the American Psychiatric Association as a mental disorder until 2012. But the behavior of transgenders mirrors the APA’s definition of delusions. According to the APA, delusions are “an often highly personal idea or belief system, not endorsed by one’s culture or subculture, that is maintained with conviction in spite of irrationality or evidence to the contrary.”  If a man maintains with conviction that he is a woman in spite of chromosomal, anatomical, endocrinological and other evidence to the contrary, it’s not unreasonable to conclude that man is delusional. This, according to a WebMD item reviewed by Dr. Smitha Bhandari, is “a type of serious mental illness called a psychotic disorder.”............But because young people confused about their gender are politically useful, Leftists exploit them and dissuade them from obtaining the medical treatment they need. They instead force them deeper into mental illness by promoting the lie that they can simply alter natural law on a whim.
  • The Left’s Disposable Transgender Children, Scott Hogenson Apr 09, 2023 - We used to treat mental illness with the goal of helping people. An apt example is how we responded to the epidemic of eating disorders that began in the 1970s and accelerated into the 1980s. According to the Mental Health Foundation of the United Kingdom, “bulimia nervosa (commonly known as bulimia) is an eating disorder and a serious mental health problem.” The risks of anorexia are similarly concerning. A 2007 study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Practice observed, “Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious mental illness, characterized in part by intense and irrational beliefs about shape and weight, including fear of gaining weight.”..........

Culture

  • When leftists oppose transgenderism, conservatives should listen  April 6, 2023 By Robert Arvay - When radical leftists oppose transgenderism, conservatives should listen — and learn.Jennifer Bilek is by no means a conservative.  Quite the opposite — she is a feminist leftist with whom I agree on as close to nothing as I think one can get — except for the contents of her video titled "Who is Behind the Trans Agenda?"  (For example, she refers to Rachel Levine as a "he.") Make no mistake: despite what we are encouraged to believe, there is an organized, systematic agenda that, if one does not do the research, is easily dismissed as yet another right-wing conspiracy theory. Bilek has clearly done the research, and her video is a comprehensive summary of the facts.  Bilek is not the first leftist to recognize this.  Camille Paglia and J.K. Rowling are two of the better known so-called "Trans-Exclusive Radical Feminists — TERFs, which has become a pejorative among "trans-activists" who promote such things as irreversible surgical mutilation of young children who, however temporarily,;express gender confusion........ 
  •  The increasingly dangerous transgender movement sweeping America April 8, 2023 By Andrea Widburg - On his Friday night show, Tucker Carlson called “transgender” activists the most dangerous domestic terrorists in America. He’s correct. They are the equivalent of religious fanatics because they have a manic faith that is belied by observable reality, which means they that constantly have to pitch themselves to a high emotional amplitude to override the real world impinging on their faith. The Democrats, from Biden on down, rather than working to tamp down this madness, are doing their best to amplify this insane frequency, by assuring these already maddened people that they are the victims of a planned Republican “genocide.” The escalating number of violent attacks by this mentally-ill multitude is increasing and will continue to do so............

  • Desire and Delusion Didn't Do Diddly to Dylan Mulvaney's DNA, April 6, 2023 By Patrick Luscri - Dylan Mulvaney is attempting the impossible.  Scientifically and biologically speaking, no matter how many hormone treatments and surgeries he goes through, the chances of him becoming a woman are equal to becoming Audrey Hepburn.  Zero and zero. The man is hardwired to be a man.  His maleness is as deep as it gets.  It's in his DNA.  It's molecular.  In truth, no amount of want to can make him a woman.  The same goes for Ellen Page, now calling herself Elliot, regarding her desire to be a man.  In truth, Dylan and Ellen are talented, charismatic, beautifully created people who've been hoodwinked by desire and delusion.  Neither can do diddly to change who they are, who they're made to be..............
  • REVEALED: The Real Reason Why Fake Woman Dylan Mulvaney Is Suddenly Everywhere, By Robert Spencer April 08, 2023- At last we know why the corporate world has fallen in love with pretend woman Dylan Mulvaney. As I noted Thursday, he seems to be everywhere all at once, and it seems unlikely that corporate giants are suddenly so taken with Dylan’s charm and wit that they are spontaneously all at once falling over themselves to make him their pitchman. But now we know why there is this sudden imperative to make this man America’s sweetheart: corporations are being strong-armed into featuring him, or else.........  
"A culture cannot survive if it makes public policy out of  people’s sad delusions. One day, when the dust finally settles, people  will look back in wonder at the notion of entrusting a major nation’s health policies to a person with a track record of bad and selfish decisions, solely because that person has body dysmorphia." Andrea Widburg on Rachel Levine

  • Chinese Communist Party bans 'sissy men' from appearing in media - – In a bid to shore up its perceived strength as an ascendant global leader, the ruling Chinese Communist Party has banned effeminate men, which it refers to by a phrase in Chinese that translates roughly to “sissy men,” from the media. The ban affects a spectrum of Chinese males, ranging from full-on transgenders to pop music stars with silky smooth skin and boyish charm.........
  • Canadian gov't 'sponsoring' Drag Summer Camp for children 7-11 years old - Residents of Vancouver now have a Justin Trudeau-approved, taxpayer-funded summer alternative for their little kiddies: a drag queen summer camp at the Carousel Theatre for Young People. Children age 7 to 11 and teens age 12 to 17 will get a free drag makeup starter kit for their folks’ $460 and $900 “tuitions,” respectively.  “Led by some of Vancouver’s established and emerging drag artists, you’ll learn how to access your inner confidence, show your true colours, and maybe even let out that inner diva!” the website states. “Join some of Vancouver’s most amazing drag artists and learn how drag can brighten up your life!”...........

Religion

  •  A ‘transgender’ minister analogizes the Nashville shooter to Christ April 5, 2023 - Religion and narcissism are inherently at odds. The former says there is a God. The latter says, “I am a god.” Few things illustrate this better than Micah Louwagie, an ordained Lutheran minister in North Dakota, who claims to be “transgender” and who had some pretty interesting (and repulsive) thoughts about the shooting last week at The Covenant School in Nashville.............According to Louwagie, our compassion for those murdered at The Covenant School is misplaced. The real martyrs are transgender people, especially the shooter (whom I will not name, other than to note that she was a biological female with delusions of so-called “transgenderism”). For Louwagie, an inanimate object is the real criminal, which means that an ideology that is obsessed with and practices violence and a mentally ill woman in thrall to that ideology cannot be at fault for what happened. They are, instead, the real victims:..............
The fact of the matter is the numbers don't lie in the transgender sports debate. Even after years of hormone treatments the fact remains the bone structure and musculature of these "trans" athletes has masculine advantages over the bone structure and muscle mass of women.

    Swimmer Riley Gaines Ambushed, Assaulted, and Held Hostage By Trans Mob After Speech at San Francisco State University- , By April 7, 2023 - Swimmer Riley Gaines was ambushed, physically assaulted and held hostage for three hours late Thursday by a violent trans-rights mob who disrupted her speech at San Francisco State University about protecting women’s sports.“I was physically assaulted by one person. I was struck twice, both times hitting my shoulder with the second strike grazing my face,”.......... “The rest of the protestors just ambushed and cornered me before I was able to move out with the help of campus police.” Gaines is a 12-time All-American champ, and a former competitor of trans swimmer Lia Thomas, a biological male who has taken the sport by storm since he started identifying as a female......... 
  • Transvestite MMA Fighter Almost Killed Two Women in the Ring Than Goes on an Anti-Women Rant Which Speaks Volumes About His Character - Fallon Fox is a retired transgender MMA fighter. He was born a man, but now lives as a woman and is still in the process of transitioning from male to female with hormone therapy. In addition to hormone therapy, Fox had gender reassignment surgery back in 2006. Fallon Fox’s story has been very controversial because up until 2011 it was not known that she came from a life of being male. She fought several times before her gender history surfaced and became public. Since then there has been heavy debate about whether or not she should be able to fight women and many believe that it is an unfair advantage for Fallon who spent her physical prime as a man, whose bones and muscles were developed on testosterone...............
  • Biden Education Department to Change Title IX to Protect ‘Trans’ Athletes, By Eric Lendrum April 7, 2023- On Thursday, the Biden Administration’s Department of Education (ED) announced its proposed changes to Title IX, the civil rights law originally intended to prevent gender-based discrimination in public education, so that the law would forbid “categorical bans” on so-called “transgender” athletes competing in the wrong gender’s sports. As the Daily Caller reports, the proposed guideline changes would be prohibited from implementing “one-size-fits-all” policies that limits males to male sports and females to female sports. “One-size-fits-all policies that categorically ban transgender students from participating in athletics consistent with their gender identity across all sports, age groups, and levels of competition would not satisfy the proposed regulation,” the fact sheet released by the ED declares. “Such bans fail to account for differences among students across grade and education levels. They also fail to account for different levels of competition — including no-cut teams that let all students participate — and different types of sports.” The policy proposal further adds that public schools must consider “fairness in competition” and preventing “sports-related injury” when crafting policies that focus on creating sports teams.............
