Cari, DeTransitioner

Two fairly short videos below by an articulate DeTransitioner.1Detransition is the cessation or reversal of a transgender identification or gender transition, whether by social, legal, or medical means. From her own personal experience, Cari superbly frames the issue.

DeTransitioner numbers are growing rapidly. Their stories complicate the sunny picture frequently presented in the media about our “gender-fluid future.” And they are either ignored or heavily criticized by Trans-Activists. They need to be heard. They need our support and love.

Please note the following important terms & phrases: a mental health condition called “dissociative disorder,” also “maladaptive coping mechanism,” “decoupling my sense of self from my body” “shifting dysphoria” & “gatekeeping.”

Listen carefully.

Our young people are not getting the mental health care or the spiritual support they need. We need more “gatekeeping!”

Also, as I study this issue I constantly find homosexuals saying they are so glad they are not teens today. They might have tried to medicalize their identity, changing their bodies forever. Like Cari did. The Lesbian community in particular is being decimated. Less feminine “gender non-conforming” girls who might explore that possibility are being told they just might be guys. As I’ve written several times before, homosexuals typically don’t deny their biological sex. What we are seeing with today’s gender ideology is a different, confusing, contradictory mess. (Unless your aim is to radically restructure society.)

Unfortunately because of ideology and quite frankly a lot of ignorance young people are groomed to deny biological sex. “Affirming” clinicians & counselors put them on a fast-track to Transition. After irreversible damage to her body, Cari wishes she had received better care from the professionals. They failed her. 

“I want to ask you, how many other medical conditions are there where you can walk into the doctor’s office, tell them you have a certain condition, which has no objective test, which can be caused by trauma or mental health issues or societal factors, and receive life-altering medications on your say-so?”

Listen carefully.

If you’ve just found my blog and are intrigued about this issue, and want to learn more, I highly recommend a book by Abigail Shrier.

Shrier is a graduate of Columbia College who went on to earn a bachelor of philosophy degree from the University of Oxford and a JD from Yale Law School.  Her book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters was named a “best book” by The Economist and The Times of London.

Being a Classic Christian I regard Gender Ideology as anti-creational to the core. This blog is about “God’s Good Creation.” That’s why I’m writing about this issue. Christians (and everybody else) let’s get informed. And speak up as I’m confident Jesus would.

"Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female.'" [Matt 19:4]

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.

J.K. Rowling Letter

Since the famed author of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, came up in my last post, I thought you might like to read her public letter from June of last year, 2020. In it she documents her “fall from grace” in the eyes of Gender Ideologues. And many of her fans. But she has gained new fans for publicly stating that “biology is not bigotry.”

Of course, unlike Canadian Nurse Amy Hamm who publicly defended Rowling and jeopardized her career for doing so, Ms. Rowling is a multi-billionaire and can “take the heat” as they say. Still, no one, no matter how rich, enjoys having their reputation unjustifiably sullied. I’m glad a popular public figure bravely spoke out on this issue.

I was particularly agitated by the news from Rowling that a brave young feminist and lesbian Magdalen Berns, who Rowling followed on Twitter, was castigated by the Trans-Activist “Twitter mob” for saying she “didn’t believe lesbians should be called bigots for not dating trans women with penises.”

I’ve heard about similar attacks of other lesbians for refusing to accept Trans-women (with penises) as suitable partners. This is the warped logic some Trans-activists embrace and expect you to embrace as well. Or you will be publicly shamed. They must be accepted as who they say they are irrespective of biology.

Is this the world we want to live in? We better come up with some answers quick. Things are moving swiftly.

Rowling mentions a hopeful sign, though. She knew she was going to be attacked for publicly supporting someone fired from her job “for what were deemed ‘transphobic’ tweets.” But she gratefully received an avalanche of support as well from the silent majority who also worry about today’s “climate of fear” generated by Gender Ideologues.

Following the link below you will learn another acronym coined by Trans-Activitists, TERF which stands for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist. I’ve already highlighted one Radical Feminist in a previous post. And will continue to do so in future posts. Many self-described Radical Feminists are convinced Gender Ideology is hurting women.

Read what Rowling had to say about our uncivil “toxic” age. Adults need to cease “cowering before the tactics of the playground.” She posted a very informed letter on her blog, succinctly covering most of the bases I’ve blogged about in the last few months. And has earned my respect. See if she can earn yours.

Punishing Our Gender Critical Nurses.

I finished an earlier post with the following:

Of course, for my Christian Brothers and Sisters, we must fight the way Jesus fought. Silencing, deplatforming, cancelling, shouting down our ideological opponents is not Christian. We must listen to what they have to say. And then speak the Truth as we understand it. Unfortunately, the more I study this issue and the forces in play, I’m led to the conclusion that the Gender Ideologues are not terribly interested in dialogue or viewpoint diversity. For them, this is a massive Power Play.

Canadian Nurse Amy Hamm is a case in point. Nurse Hamm is being investigated and charged with professional misconduct for disagreeing with Gender Ideology. Her lawyers rightly claim:

….professional misconduct must not be permitted to be redefined to include speaking unpopular truths, and that to do so is to undermine the very foundations of a free and democratic society. 

Read the whole thing…and ask yourself: is this the world we want to live in?
