Where once women and kids were encouraged to be aware of (and avoid like the plague) people then labelled perverts, they, and the industries that benefit from Queer ideology, have now taken over all major social institutions, creating an unimpeachable, state-mandated quasi-religion out of their fetishism and dissociative, nihilistic approach to sexuality, biological sex, and body parts. From this pseudo-religion, we have no protections; nothing equivalent to the principle of separation of church and state that applies to standard religions.
Woe betide anyone who dares suggest that women and children have human rights that might transcend their perceived needs, including their need to medicalise kids to justify their own delusions as discussed above.
Equally anyone who seeks to defend science, truth and sanity may be pilloried and persecuted. It’s a case of “We’re all equal but some are more equal than others” and a stealthy descent into a new “progressive” Dark Age.
Trans is the single psychiatric condition requiring surgical removal or chemical extirpation of healthy tissue for “treatment” of a mental condition, and the only psychiatric condition requiring the rest of world to conform to a patient’s delusion as follow-on. It’s not science, it’s atrocity resemble trepanning for demonic possession.
All adolescents have puberty anxiety, since all humans have anxiety as their body changes. It’s an instinct of self preservation.
Sudden clumps of hair and lumps growing on the body are problems in any other context. This instinct and anxiety is ‘cared for’ with surgical mutilation and psychological torture instead of helping adapt and cope with reality, the proper role of psychiatry.
Puberty anxiety is common in medical literature and all human experience yet, the most disabling form somehow is never connected to trans, which has a single goal of keeping a child in a childhood state, in other words, pre-pubertal, pre-anxiety.
Girls are arriving at puberty earlier and earlier the last few _decades_, therefore activating early anxiety and depression, yet somehow nobody bothers to correlate the desire to suppress puberty, “ROGD”, and more girls starting puberty earlier.
Gays forcing psychiatry to alter classification was to halt “treatment” for a natural condition. The gay political strategy was to be open, be interviewed, to meet all challenges with debate. Gays wanted to eliminate “conversion”, while trans want to eliminate barriers to “conversion”. Psychiatry up even until the late 2000’s still claimed that conversion of gays by tortures was impossible not completely settled.
I don’t expect psychiatry to miraculously find that their view of trans for a century was wrong. It certainly took quite some some time to understand the atrocity prefrontal lobotomy, or modern trepanning was wrong. Demonic body “dispossession” just needs to go away - “wrong body syndrome”
I refer to a relevant paper from ‘Lancet’ of May 16th 2024 titled:
‘A comparison of gender diversity in transgender young people with and without autistic traits from the Trans 20 cohort study’
Summary:
Baseline data from a cohort study of trans children and adolescents who first attended the Melbourne Royal Children's Hospital Gender Service between Feb 2017 and Jan 2020 were analysed cross-sectionally. 522 participants were included, of whom 239 (45.8%) exhibited autistic traits
Discussion:
In our study, almost half of the trans children and adolescents seeking clinical care exhibited autistic traits. Notably these young people reported high rates of mental health difficulties and substantial suicide risk, which may be driven in part as sequelae of autism.
Some thoughts:
. . . So how do we best manage this seriously challenged cohort ‘who have high rates of mental health difficulties and substantial suicide risk’ to ‘transition’ to another gender?
Seriously?
….We implement the ‘affirmative’ model of gender care:
Off to the gender clinic >Block puberty > Cross sex hormones> Surgical Genital Switch and Mastectomy.
One wonders how these children will fare over the next 30 years?
A review a large cohort who transitioned 30 years ago suggests badly:
“Sex-reassigned persons had a higher risk of inpatient care for a psychiatric disorder other than gender identity disorder than controls matched on birth year and birth sex. This held after adjustment for prior psychiatric morbidity, and was true regardless of whether sex reassignment occurred before or after 1989. In line with the increased mortality from suicide, sex-reassigned individuals were also at a higher risk for suicide attempts, though this was not statistically significant for the time period 1989–2003. The risks of being hospitalised for substance misuse or accidents were not significantly increased after adjusting for covariates and finally Transsexual individuals were at increased risk of being convicted for any crime or violent crime after sex reassignment”.
Drescher himself has been pushing "Underscoring the difficult, if not impossible task of changing a sexual orientation/gender identity, even through psychotherapeutic means;" very hard and has thus pushed at the APA that therapy is not an appropriate intervention for GD (and in his papers). He is doing a lot of harm and is wrong, although the evidence is low quality, it certainly helps some! Cass expected most!
Dr. Jack Drescher's plan for normalizing gender identity ideology and trans people included the following action item:
“Adopting normalising etiological theories, such as the belief that one is born gay/trans."
I submit that it would be virtually impossible today to prove that one is born trans. That's because trans activists such as Drescher have been so successful in making schools and other institutions agents of indoctrination into gender identity ideology that it would be extremely difficult to find children, adolescents and young adults today who were not in effect taught how to be trans by their teachers and other trans allies in their social world. Even the parochial school student who dodged the bullet in the classroom will almost certainly be read in on the trans thing by social media and peers when he or she is old enough. The gender identity seed, once planted in a child's mind, sprouts tendrils that grip and are very hard to pry loose.
Dr. Drescher might as well try to convince us that one is born Queer!
About 25 years ago I participated in a successful online campaign to promote
clean air in indoor public places, i.e. ban smoking, in the US. It involved mass
emails to selected key decision makers. It involved sending a standard pre-written message or modifying an existing template using suggested talking points. It was similar to what the ACL is doing now, though it was done before relevant meetings.
For example, participants were told a smoking ban in restaurants was about to be discussed in Maryland. Later an email would arrive stating the ban was voted in and a thank you for helping ban smoking in restaurants in Maryland. The campaign was quite successful.
Who are key decision makers re gender medicalisation of young people?
Obviously politicians, but what organisations?
RANZCP
RACP
AMA
APS
I am guessing, any suggestions?
A statement from any of these, say, supporting the Cass report, might be persuasive to some politicians.
It took chatgpt less than a minute to write this (the bot is 2 years behind and doesnt know the Cass report):
I am writing to you today to express my deep concern regarding the use of puberty blockers for children and to urge you to consider supporting a ban on their use. While the intention behind prescribing these medications is to alleviate gender dysphoria in young patients, the potential risks and long-term side effects far outweigh any purported benefits.
One of the most alarming side effects associated with puberty blockers is the increased risk of osteoporosis. These medications inhibit the natural development of bone density during a critical period of growth, leading to weakened bones and a heightened risk of fractures. Additionally, there is substantial evidence suggesting that puberty blockers can cause stunted growth. By halting the natural progression of puberty, these drugs interfere with the physical development that is essential for reaching full adult height.
Equally concerning are the potential impacts on brain development. Adolescence is a crucial time for brain maturation, and interrupting this process can have long-lasting effects on cognitive function and emotional health. Moreover, there is a growing body of research indicating a correlation between the use of puberty blockers and an increased risk of cardiovascular issues, including heart disease.
It is also important to address the claim that puberty blockers are reversible. While it is often stated that these medications can simply be stopped without lasting consequences, emerging evidence suggests otherwise. Many children who undergo treatment with puberty blockers do not resume natural pubertal development as expected, and the long-term effects of these drugs are not yet fully understood.
Furthermore, the evidence supporting the efficacy of puberty blockers in alleviating gender dysphoria is limited and inconclusive. The existing studies are often small, methodologically flawed, and lack long-term follow-up. This raises serious questions about the reliability of the data and the wisdom of using such interventions in a pediatric population.
Given these significant concerns, I strongly urge you to take action to protect our children from the potentially irreversible harm caused by puberty blockers. By advocating for a ban on their use in minors, we can ensure that young people receive care that is based on solid evidence and prioritizes their long-term health and well-being.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I hope you will consider the points raised in this letter and work towards a safer, more scientifically grounded approach to treating gender dysphoria in children.
There are many health professionals who are challenging gender affirming care, and slowly making some inroads. The APS has almost finalised a review. I am strongly opposed to puberty blockers but as a retired clinical psychologist I prefer to stay within the field of psychology, there is much to challenge there.
Brilliant essay!

The conflation of psychotherapy & "conversion therapy" is widespread.

It is easy to describe the problem. It is more challenging to design effective strategies for undoing it.
