Ivy league professors are your culprits. All this nonsense starts in the Academy and filters down into society as the indoctrinated students go out into the world.
I understand and agree with the critique of the for profit pharmaceutical industry having a perverse incentive of marketing trans acceptance to line their pockets - but I don't agree with the blanket conclusion that all gender and sex identities are a "synthetic" pathologisations of vaccine induced autism (or anything else for that matter) - trans identities have existed long before big pharma came into the picture.
And on the whole 'love the body god gave you" argument - would you say the same for people wearing glasses? There's a very obvious incentive for lens manufactures to push glasses onto people but I don't see you argue that people should just learn to love their reduced sight because that's how god made them.
My take was that big pharma wanted life long patients. Once you start messing with the natural hormones you’re screwed for life. I kind of thought they might be the money behind it. I have a few gay/lesbian friends that are horrified by the movement.
Very well written! I grew up in the 70s-80s with the notion and encouragement that I could do whatever I wanted outside of gender norms. As such I had a very successful career that was primarily carried out by the opposite sex. I saw those walls dissolve, along with many other gender stereotypes. Suddenly the stereotype defines women and men? It did happen so quickly.
I think you make one absolutely incontestable point: "Being trans is difficult"
Everything else we think we "know" is hypothesis, theory and conjecture.
One of my own theories is that reaching deeper understanding is made nearly impossible by the trend of self-conception aligned with copulative preference and technique.
Then again, friends think me hopelessly old-fashioned for considering "sexual identity" a meaningless and counterproductive designation. It's terribly passe to consider a brilliant woodcarver and talented pianist a craftsman and musician, rather than "gay."
I also find the designation "dysphoria"unconvincing when applied to most, when dysmorphia is readily verifiable and elided in favor of the unwholesome emphasis on secondary sexual characteristics.
Being raised in a (mostly) Liberal milieu, There appears to me, to be a (possibly spurious) correlation with the "we gotta do something" mentality that leads to counterproductive activism.
It leaves me interested in ways to help people manage their pain without indulging in self-harm. Life is indeed "solitary, nasty, brutish and short." We're not here for very long, and it's worthwhile to make an effort to alleviate such misery as we can.
The death, forty years ago, of the craftsman-musician I referred to above, has affected my thinking with regard to these matters. His romantic proclivities were entirely irrelevant to the wide circle of friends he had, but not to their wives and girlfriends that castigated them for befriending a man with AIDS. It was instructive to observe.
It seems to me that redefining terms such as "gender" has led to something akin to the biblical Tower Of Babel; no one understands what anyone else is trying to say to them.
As far as the pharma theory goes, it has merit, but in business, it's rather difficult to separate opportunism from structured outcomes.
It's due to inflammation in the brain I think. It is inflammation during pregnancy (see Kathryn Lenz experiments where allergic reactions caused LGBT offspring), inflammation after adrenarche (6 years old) in the hypothalamus-adrenal-thyroid-gonads axis (PCOS, thyroiditis, adrenal hyperplasia disrupt sexual hormones and stress response), inflammation in the brain (in depression, OCD, encephalitis). The inflammation is from pesticides, heavy metals, electromagnetic fields, artificial light (less melatonin), noises (less sleep), antibiotics (damaged mitochondria, less microbes), hygiene (less helminths, biting insects, microbes), vaccines; high sugar, high fat, low nutrient, high allergen diets. The interactions with other individuals suffering from mental health issues due to the same factors (families, schools, cultures) compounds the effect.
Toby, you can be rest assured that Pharma and chemical industrial complex companies have access to all the studies on every side effect of their products. Why do you think all the marketing efforts put forth by such groups go to such great extremes to ensure the truth is never found. The reality is if they wanted their products to truly be safe and effective, they would make them as such but the cost of doing so might require that they pull their products from the market, and that is not going to please shareholders, ever. We live in interesting times where corporatism, seemingly rules right along with the billionaires. How might things change??
Once we hit rates similar to autism, families will rise up and get angry, organize and put pressure on government to address the issues as the costs to society will become overwhelming, like they are starting to with the autism epidemic.
What a fascinating article. Thank you!
" Gender is socially constructed, performative, theater. Sex is biological, given, and refers to chromosomes, hormones, and anatomical features "
Even that is biased and not entirely true.
But you sound so earnest in all your battle(s) that I'd never want to "lock horns" with you about *anything*.
If the question is "who?" then the answer is "Jews".

Creating lifelong customers. Once you mess with the hormones you’re screwed. You’ll need medical intervention for the rest of your life.

Hi Toby, one of my kind subscribers directed me to this post.
I am looking at a number of chemical insults to the foetus that affect adult sexual orientation.
Started with Fluoride, latest is Endotoxin.

This is off: "1 part per billion = one drop of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool." A ppt (trillion) is a drop in 20 Olympic pools.
