Cari, Detransitioner – Podcast

The Good Creation Podcast – Cari, Detransitioner

Podcast Script

Two fairly short videos below by an articulate DeTransitioner.  From her own personal experience, Cari superbly frames the issue.

No matter what Gender Activists tell you.  It doesn’t matter if they are testifying under oath before Congress.  (See my post from yesterday.)  DeTransitioner numbers are growing rapidly.  Their stories complicate the sunny picture frequently presented in the media about our “gender-fluid future.” Plus Detransitioners are either ignored or heavily criticized by Trans-Activists. They need to be heard. They need our support and love.

Please note the following important terms & phrases in the videos below: a mental health condition called “dissociative disorder,” also the phrases “maladaptive coping mechanism,” “decoupling my sense of self from my body” “shifting dysphoria” & “gatekeeping.”  These are important terms and phrases we need to understand.  

So listen carefully.

Our young people are not getting the mental health care or the spiritual support they need. We need more “gatekeeping!”

Also, as I study this issue I constantly find homosexuals saying they are so glad they are not teens today. They might have tried to medicalize their identity, changing their bodies forever. Like Cari did. The Lesbian community in particular is being decimated. Less feminine “gender non-conforming” girls who might think about that possibility are being told instead, they just might be guys, not girls! 

As I’ve mentioned several times before, homosexuals typically don’t deny their biological sex. Which would make nonsense of same-sex attraction.  What we are seeing with today’s gender ideology is a different, confusing, contradictory mess. 

Unless your aim is to radically restructure society and its cultural norms. Which is the aim of Queer Theory and several other Critical Theories I could mention.

Unfortunately because of ideology and quite frankly a lot of ignorance, young people today are groomed to deny biological sex. So-called “Affirming” clinicians & counselors put them on a fast-track to Transition. 

After irreversible damage to her body, Cari wishes she had received better care from the professionals. They failed her. 

“I want to ask you, (says Cari) how many other medical conditions are there where you can walk into the doctor’s office, tell them you have a certain condition, which has no objective test, which can be caused by trauma or mental health issues or societal factors, and receive life-altering medications on your say-so?”


They failed her.  Please listen carefully to what she has to say.  

If you’ve just found my blog and are intrigued about this issue, and want to learn more, I highly recommend a book by Abigail Shrier.

Shrier is a graduate of Columbia College who went on to earn a bachelor of philosophy degree from the University of Oxford and a JD from Yale Law School.  Her book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters was named a “best book” by The Economist and The Times of London.

I’m a Classic Christian.   I regard Gender Ideology as anti-creational to the core. This blog is about “God’s Good Creation.” That’s why I’m writing and podcasting about this issue. Christians (and everybody else) let’s get informed. And speak up as I’m confident Jesus would.

"Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female.'" [Matt 19:4]

Love Refuses to Affirm Confusion

The Adoration of the Shepherds

Pupil of Rembrandt, The Adoration of the Shepherds, 1646

A burst of brilliant light shines on the newborn Christ, who is watched over by Mary, Joseph and a gathering of worshippers and onlookers. The source of the light is hidden, so it seems to radiate directly from the sleeping child, illuminating the faces of all around him.

The scene represents the episode in the Bible when shepherds arrived to pay homage to the Messiah. One kneels, raising his hands in wonder. Another is silhouetted against the light, while a third stands reverently to one side. Along with the animals in the background, this was the traditional cast of an Adoration of the Shepherds. But the artist added other figures, including the two women holding up a small child, to give the scene a more informal atmosphere.

A closely related version of the Adoration known to be by Rembrandt is in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich. Analysis suggests that it is likely that the London picture is a study inspired by the Munich one, made by a highly competent apprentice.

Luke 2:15-20
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

Detransitioning Is Real. It’s Happening!

Either this gender activist is lying under oath, or is ideologically blind. Or identifies as an Ostrich.

Conservatives ripped into LGBTQ activist and social worker Jessie Pocock for denying she has ever heard of any transgender person detransitioning from their sex change attempts.

Pocock, the CEO and executive director of LGBTQ non-profit Inside Out Youth Services Advocacy Organization provided testimony during  Wednesday's House Oversight Committee hearing on "LGBTQ extremism and violence."

During her testimony, Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, mentioned there are "a lot of people in the news coming out detransitioning." He asked, "Could you speak to that phenomenon, and what’s that person going through? Did they get it wrong? Were they going through a period?"

Pocock said she couldn’t "really speak to an individual’s personal experience," but ended up admitting she doesn’t think detransitioning is real.

She added, "I’ve been in this work for a long time. I know a lot of trans folks, close friends, family members, and I’ve just never heard a case of anyone destransitioning, so I honestly don’t think it’s a real thing."

Detransitioner Chloe Cole responds.

Detransitioner TullipR points out that the Reddit online community of Detransitioners now sits at 32.2k and growing rapidly. I suspect this is just the beginning. (Actual number to date is 40k!)

What are we doing to our young people?
