I hope we have seen the high water mark on this particular form of insanity, which is so destructive to children and young adults. It seems to be receding, but I still see many instances of this indoctrination of children. Many parts of the medical community continue to push this garbage so they can make money throughout the patient’s life. An article describes how medical professionals hide their activities and lie to the public about the state of the research, which basically is that there is no evidence supporting either gender ideology in general or any benefits to the horrific treatments to which patients are subjected. The article illuminates a semi-secret meeting of the abominable medical professionals who mutilate kids. They admit to not having any real guidelines or basis for what they do. They admit to taking advantage of seriously mentally ill or distressed patients. Instead of focusing on the mental health issues, they plow ahead with mutilation that ruins the patient’s life, knowing that they, the provider, will reap financial benefits for many years.

Which leads to the second and more important article, a paper put out by the Centre for Social Justice in England. Now “social justice” is generally a bullshit term for redistribution of wealth and income from hard-working people to slackers, but this particular paper is a valuable contribution to the fight against child mutilation. In the identity group conflict between the letter community and the “disabled”, the group goes for protecting the latter. It points out that children with autism and ADHD diagnoses are highly disproportionately represented among those who have the fake diagnosis of gender dysphoria. Other evidence has suggested that psychologists, social workers and medical professionals are targeting this vulnerable population and taking advantage of that vulnerability to suggest that they are “in the wrong body”. As I said beyond disgraceful. What is happening is that any child with any kind of mental health or developmental issues is being told they have gender issues, so the system can start the process of making a massive, never-ending stream of income from them.

Kevin writes. – “It points out that children with autism and ADHD diagnoses are highly disproportionately represented among those who have the fake diagnosis of gender dysphoria. Other evidence has suggested that psychologists, social workers and medical professionals are targeting this vulnerable population and taking advantage of that vulnerability to suggest that they are “in the wrong body”. ”
That fact which Kevin states highlights why the fraudulent diagnosis has so many glaringly red flags which should be obvious problems which should be obvious to any one with basic objectivity. What is astonishing is the large population of democrats that fail to grasp the evil. One of the common behavior of the democrats supporting the barbaric treatment is to accuse those opposed to the barbaric treatment as being anti- trans or anti compassionate.
The pro – mutilation forces often refer to the surveys which show less than 2% regret rates as proof that transitioning is an effective treatment. Those surveys have huge methodology flaws. First the surveys have relatively short follow periods for a population that needs lifelong care, Second, the response rate is 50% or slightly less which for a subset of the population that requires lifelong care including mental health treatment – so how do the facilities doing the mutilation lose contact with 50% of the patients? finally, the surveys are only picking up the patients that are under continuing care and are likely taking large doses of anti depressants or other drugs. Of course with that methodology, the regret rate will be low.
Adding a second comment – The mental health profession has a long history of sordid mental health treatments or fad diagnosis which were considered the gold standard of their time. The trans movement fits right in with the long sordid history.
Shock therapy, frontal lobotomies to name a few.
One of the more recent fads was the ‘repressed memory syndrome” . Starting in the late 1970’s, Individuals with mental health problems were told by the mental health professionals that the abused as children (often sexually abused). They were further told that the abuse was so traumatic that they repressed the memory. All of which was simply the mental health professionals planting crap in the minds of the mentally ill.
The trans fad follows the same line – except its creating vastly worse permanent damage.
