The Sinister Fiction of the ‘Transgender Child.’

From the children’s book ‘It Feels Good to Be Yourself’
A Book About Gender Identity.

There has always been a small number of children distressed by their developing sexual characteristics, though when counseled appropriately (i.e., not lied to that they can change sex) most grow out of these feelings by the end of puberty. The reasons for this distress can be complex and multifaceted. In recent years, the huge and unprecedented surge in teenage girls with no prior history of gender confusion suggests social contagion as a likely factor.

What the evidence does not point to is the sinister fiction of the “transgender child”: the pseudoscientific idea that children are “born in the wrong body.” Or are capable of consenting to life-altering medical interventions to try to “fix” their appearance, all while impairing and irreparably damaging their healthy sexual development and functioning.

As for how trans activists captured the NHS to begin with, the Times of London notes that as far back as 2015, staff from the NHS gender youth clinic “told a select committee hearing that its treatment protocols were safe, regulated and based on guidelines from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health [WPATH].”

Recently leaked internal messages from WPATH destroy whatever credibility the organization had left.

Britain is backing up. When will we?

Lost in Transnation

The discussion between Jordan Peterson and Miriam Grossman MD, titled “Gender Insanity and Parental Trauma,” focuses on the complexities and controversies surrounding the transgender movement, particularly its impact on individuals transitioning, their parents, and families. They delve into the grief and trauma experienced not only by those undergoing gender transition but also by their families, especially when societal pressures demand unconditional affirmation of gender identity changes.

The conversation highlights the historical roots of gender ideology, criticizing the work of Dr. John Money and his controversial experiments, which laid the foundation for current gender identity theories. Theories which have no basis in reality.

Miriam Grossman, a physician, author, and public speaker, shares her early concerns about gender ideology and its inclusion in sex education, predating widespread public awareness. She discusses her observations of the harmful effects of teaching children that gender is a psychological concept separate from biological sex, emphasizing the confusion and destabilization this can cause.

Grossman and Peterson critique the notion that increasing choices in gender identity leads to freedom, arguing instead that it can result in anxiety and psychological distress, particularly among young people. They express concern over the rapid increase in depression and anxiety rates, especially among young women, attributing part of this trend to the pressures and confusions associated with gender identity exploration.

Watching this discussion will take some time, but it will be worth. You’ll be more informed about this issue. And that’s a very good thing.
