Scott Johnson at Powerline has written on this topic better than I can so I strongly encourage you to read his column here on this topic. Transgender kids don’t exist–they are indoctrinated and recruited by a sick, sick educational and health system, driven by ideology and political contributions from those who support the transgender cult. This is most despicable thing I have ever seen in my lifetime, what is being done to these poor children, who are so vulnerable and susceptible to suggestion, much less indoctrination. (SJ PL Post)
And many come to regret being pushed into this life-destroying nonsense. Wesman was one of those, a fact that will never be mentioned by the lunatic Dems and the mainstream media. He knew it had screwed his life up and it made him more mentally ill. The violence directed outward and the suicides that violence directed inward, result directly from the indoctrination with this fake transgender gibberish. It has to be stopped and real mental health resources that help children accept themselves as they are must be made available.
Quite a few survey’s ( conducted by the activists) show an extremely low regret rate. However, those surveys have serious flaws
a) The participation rates is low, usually running about 50%. These are individuals that need lifelong care. so how do the medical providers lose contact with someone that need constant mental health care. A response rate of 50% for a population that requires constant life long care is very low and dubious.
b) the survey periods are relatively short – often less than five years
C) The responding participants are the ones still under mental health care and are taking drugs to make them happy (anti depressents, etc), so they are naturally going to indicate greater happiness.
D) The low response rate indicates that there is large population that isnt happy which are not being picked up in the surveys.
In summary –
1 dont believe the low regret rate
I think the transgender cause support is more complicated than simply ascribing it to political ideology….
Here is the curious case of Jennifer Pritzker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Pritzker
The Pritzker family makes it entirely political. All that inherited wealth and they’re all nuts. But that money buys them plenty of lackeys.
Indeed. Start with confused adolescents; they are not hard to find. Plant the idea that they were born in the wrong body. If they take it seriously; encourage them in the delusion. Make sure the encouragement comes from “trusted professionals” like teachers,counselors, and doctors to give it much more authority than just some clown on the internet. Keep the parents out of the loop to minimize the chance of the victim getting help there. Then push them into dangerous drugs and destructive surgery to turn their transient problems into permanent ones. And so the more-or-less normal confusion turns into a serious mental illness. It is hardly surprising that the result is sometimes violence directed outward or inward or both.
On the part of the parents (almost always, the mother), I think it is a form of Munchausen’s by proxy. Also, the young patient likely is depressed and therefore responds positively to the on-going attention and concern heaped on them from all parties. I have known some adults who fabricate a reason to have surgery every few years or so because they love the attention of doctors and doting medical staff, as well as the sympathy of their famiy and friends.
