Vast majority of gender dysphoric boys desist, long-term study finds.

The study was done at the University of Toronto by Singh, Bradley and Zucker and published by Frontiers in Psychiatry (March 29, 2021)

Researchers found that 17 (12.2%) of the participants persisted in their gender dysphoria, and the remaining 122 (87.8%) desisted. 82 (63.6%) of the participants were ascertained to be bisexual or gay and 43 (33.3%) were heterosexual. The remaining 4 (3.1%) reported no sexual fantasies.

One of the scientists, Kenneth J. Zucker, Ph.D., adolescent and child psychologist and chair of the DSM-5 Work Group on Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders was discussed in an early post last year.

This is why “watchful waiting” was always the preferred method until recently. But if you suggest that today you might be accused of trying to practice Conversion Therapy.

Today, clinicians advise social transition, then puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones at earlier ages. There will be no turning back, no desisting from that. The only options will be either to continue identifying as the opposite sex/gender OR become a Detransitioner after having done irreversible harm to your body.

As a Classic Christian I encourage everyone to “Embrace, Don’t Affirm.”

Individuals with a Gender Identity Disorder (Gender-Dysphoria) need Truth-filled Love. Please read this post for more details.

Bette Midler & Macy Gray Attacked For Stating Scientific Fact.

Here is the tweet from Bette Midler that got her in trouble with the Gender Activists.

As a classic Christian, I’m not on board with Midler about the “rights over our bodies” part. When there is a pregnancy there are two bodies involved. Not just one. It is much more complicated and morally nuanced than that. But she is certainly right about the other stuff. And the wholesale devaluing of female bodies that Gender Ideology represents.

Go Bette! (“Make alliances were we can!!”)

Also, here is artist Macy Gray’s comment that got her in trouble with the Gender Activists.

To which J.K. Rowling responded with a tweet (I love J.K.)

A “pittance” for J.K. But a nice gesture.

We need to return to sanity, folks. Love people who are confused, but don’t affirm confusion. I fear for a culture that does.

“Woman” Cancelled

CLK above is replying to Bette Midler, who recently got in trouble for stating the obvious: “I thought you stood up for LGBT+ people” CLK tweeted.

To which the obvious reply would be that, well of course we want confused people who think they are born in the wrong body to have civil rights etc…but it doesn’t mean we don’t believe they are greatly confused.

That’s something we should be allowed to say in public.

We can believe both that people are confused AND that the cancelling of “woman” for the sake of “inclusion” is devastatingly beyond the pale.

Why is this not happening to “men”? Hmmm? As the graph above indicates. If you are a woman you are a “vulva owner.” If you are a man? Still a man?

Or will that term eventually be cast into the “dustbin of history” too?
