Willow – The Affirmation Fallacy

Willow is a DeTransitioner whose ROGD (Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria) started at the age of 16 after she spent a lot of time on the social media site Tumblr and self-diagnosed herself as Transgender.

Here’s an interview of Willow by Erin Brewer from her YouTube channel. Willow grew up in a family where women were disrespected by her father which facilitated internalized misogyny.

Also of interest is her discussion about the hormonal difference between Testosterone and Estrogen. Breaking News! Men and women are wonderfully different.

Around the 32 minute mark she brings up her Gay Porn obsession. Because of her dysfunctional upbringing she began to think male/male relationships were superior relationships. [Please see my post “The Gender Dysphoria – Porn Connection” for additional details about this very real problem.]

ROGD = Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (details below)

Gender Dysphoria – a definition and some history:

“Gender dysphoria—formerly known as “gender identity disorder”—is characterized by a severe and persistent discomfort in one’s biological sex.¹Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, text revision (DSM-IV-TR) (Washington, D.C.: American Psychiatric Association, 2000), 579.

“It typically begins in early childhood—ages two to four—though it may grow more severe in adolescence. But in most cases—nearly 70 percent—childhood gender dysphoria resolves.²Kenneth J. Zucker, “The Myth of Persistence: Response to ‘A Critical Commentary on Follow-Up Studies and ‘Desistance’ Theories about Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Children’ by Temple Newhook et al. (2018),” International Journal of Transgenderism (May 2018); See also J. Ristori and T. D. Steensma, “Gender Dysphoria in Childhood,” International Review of Social Psychiatry 28, no. 1 (2016): 13–20. 

“Historically, it afflicted a tiny sliver of the population (roughly .01 percent) and almost exclusively boys. Before 2012, in fact, there was no scientific literature on girls ages eleven to twenty-one ever having developed gender dysphoria at all. In the last decade that has changed, and dramatically. 

“The Western world has seen a sudden surge of adolescents claiming to have gender dysphoria and self-identifying as “transgender.” For the first time in medical history, natal girls are not only present among those so identifying—they constitute the majority.”

The sudden spike is characterized as ROGD (Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria).

Here are some other disturbing statistics. In 2018, the UK reported a 4,400 percent rise over the previous decade in teenage girls seeking gender treatments (Testosterone & Puberty Blockers). Between 2016 and 2017 the number of gender surgeries for natal females in the U.S. quadrupled. Unlike in the past, now it was biological women suddenly accounting for 70 percent of all gender surgeries.

What is going on? I think I know….

The Gender Dysphoria – Porn Connection

I’ve suspected for years now that millions of smart-phone toting young people with easy access to porn will cause incalculable harm to them and society.

Please read this expose’ written by a parent of a trans-identifying teenage girl trapped by online porn.

Podcast Persuasion

Here’s an excellent podcast hosted by Bari Weiss. She interviews Abigail Shrier. Many important questions and answers. Shrier covers the thesis of her book, her recent article that I blogged about yesterday, how schools are keeping student secrets from parents. She talks about online porn (our boys are hurting!). Institutional Capture. And encourages us to speak up about our medicalized identity crisis.

We are experimenting on our kids, especially our girls.

So many bases are covered. Highly recommended! Passionate and persuasive. Listen on your way to work. Or while you are out walking the dog, running, riding etc…share with your friends.

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. [2020, 2021]

[Full disclosure. I recently became an Amazon Affiliate. So I will receive a very small percentage of the sale of any books I recommend on my blog. Just so you know.]
