Cari, Detransitioner – Podcast
Podcast Script
Two fairly short videos below by an articulate DeTransitioner. From her own personal experience, Cari superbly frames the issue.
No matter what Gender Activists tell you. It doesn’t matter if they are testifying under oath before Congress. (See my post from yesterday.) DeTransitioner numbers are growing rapidly. Their stories complicate the sunny picture frequently presented in the media about our “gender-fluid future.” Plus Detransitioners 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 in the videos below: a mental health condition called “dissociative disorder,” also the phrases “maladaptive coping mechanism,” “decoupling my sense of self from my body” “shifting dysphoria” & “gatekeeping.” These are important terms and phrases we need to understand.
So 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 think about that possibility are being told instead, they just might be guys, not girls!
As I’ve mentioned several times before, homosexuals typically don’t deny their biological sex. Which would make nonsense of same-sex attraction. What we are seeing with today’s gender ideology is a different, confusing, contradictory mess.
Unless your aim is to radically restructure society and its cultural norms. Which is the aim of Queer Theory and several other Critical Theories I could mention.
Unfortunately because of ideology and quite frankly a lot of ignorance, young people today are groomed to deny biological sex. So-called “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, (says Cari) 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?”
They failed her. Please listen carefully to what she has to say.
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]

I’m 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 and podcasting about this issue. Christians (and everybody else) let’s get informed. And speak up as I’m confident Jesus would.

Mama Has A Mustache
In a previous podcast…
….the Pharmaceutical company, AbbVie was mentioned:
A Dec. 17, 2020, adverse event report to the FDA describes a 15-year-old patient taking Lupron for gender therapy. The patient had a history of “major depressive disorder” and a family history of depression. The patient experienced “mental health deterioration” while on Lupron and attempted suicide twice. AbbVie (a pharmaceutical co.) wrote in the report to the FDA that “there is no reasonable possibility” that the adverse events were related to Lupron. The company did not elaborate. Dr Brad Miller, division director of pediatric endocrinology at the University of Minnesota Medical School and M Health Masonic Children’s Hospital, expressed surprise at the number of adverse event reports Reuters found. He said he was particularly concerned because doctors prescribe puberty blockers for transgender children, who are already at higher risk of mental health problems. Miller and several other doctors told Reuters they had repeatedly asked AbbVie, Endo and other makers of puberty blockers to seek FDA approval for the drugs in treating gender dysphoria in children and to conduct clinical trials to establish the drugs’ safety for such use. They said the companies always declined. “They would say it would cost a lot of money to get approval,” Miller said. “And they were not interested in going there because (transgender treatment) was a political hot potato.” Source: Reuters.com
Lots of money to be made in a gender-confused world.
