The Torment & Tragedy of Teenage Girls

This blog has introduced you many times to the splendid reporting of Abigail Shrier. Now I want to introduce my readers to Heather Heying. From her website you’ll find the following credentials:

I am an evolutionary biologist, which means I’m interested in everything from brains to bugs, culture to consciousness. Just about everything most humans think about is evolutionary, except for rocks and quarks and the like. Other descriptions for what kind of scientist I am include animal behaviorist, zoologist, herpetologist, tropical biologist, and evolutionary ecologist. I have conducted research on the evolution of social systems and sexual selection, from frogs to humans. I received my PhD in Biology from the University of Michigan, where I earned the university’s top honor for my dissertation, and have a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of California at Santa Cruz. From 2019 – 2021 I was a Visiting Fellow at Princeton University.

Impressive.

If you want a relatively brief synopsis of a complicated subject, what Abigail calls the “Transgender Craze,” you need to read their LetterWiki exchange from 2020.

The Torment & Tragedy of Teenage Girls.

During the exchange Heather says:

“Why do we chastise teenage girls when they cut themselves, but celebrate them when they find a doctor to do it for them? When a teenage girl cuts herself, or starves herself, we try to help the human being. We do not sanctify the behavior.”

I’m a Classic Christian and think Gender Ideology is anti-creational to the core. This blog is about “God’s Good Creation.” That’s why I’m writing about Gender Ideology. And “speaking 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]

If you would like more detail on how my Christian worldview informs my understanding of Sex and today’s Gender Ideology please read the following posts.

Dr. Michelle Forcier, Expert

This is a follow up to my “Experts” post.

Dr. Michelle Forcier, associate professor of pediatrics at Brown University and staunch advocate of puberty blockers for kids with gender-dysphoria, sits down with NBC News and explains her viewpoint.

You’ll remember Dr. Forcier in the “unaware” outtake below.

Here she is in an NBC News Interview explaining the journey for kids who are transitioning.

Notable Quotables.

(MF)  Think about pregnant women who walk into a room.  One of the first questions people ask:  Is it a boy or a girl?  Even before we come out and enter the world, we've been 'genderized.'   The big place for gender is our brain, our heart, and our soul.  Identity.  Who we are.  Which isn't parts.  It's in here (she gestures to her head).

(I). What's the risk of waiting?  

(MF). Parents ask me that all the time.  And the risk of waiting is suicide.  The risk of waiting is running away.  The risk of waiting is substance abuse.  The risk of waiting is bullying and violence.  The risk of waiting is oppression and anxiety.  Kids have to live their whole childhood denying who they are as a boy or girl.  Kids have to go through the wrong physical and emotional and social puberty.  Breast development.  Getting hairy and big.  Getting hips and butt and thighs.  That's very distressing if you are growing in the wrong gender body for your brain.

Maybe the secret is to fix the brain. Not the body.

As a Christian who believes in the doctrine of Creation, Incarnation, Bodily Resurrection, Bodily Ascension, and future bodily resurrection for believers, I could never agree with this “expert.”

I can love confused people without affirming their confusion.

For more information on Dr. Forcier’s claims please read the following posts. There are plenty of non-religious reasons to say, NO, as well.

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.
