As with “sexual orientation,” the term “transgender” is problematic in itself, as it lacks scientific foundations or even consensus among LGBT* activists. However, there is no doubt that in Western societies, the level of transgender phenomena that deny biological reality has increased dramatically in recent years. If in 2009 in Tavistock Clinic 97 teenagers addressed gender dysphoria, then last year their number amounted to more than two thousand.
American scientists from Brown University investigated the reasons for the surge of “sudden gender dysphoria” among young people and came to the conclusion that the key factor in changing the teenager’s gender identity is his immersion in transgender content on the Internet.
Before declaring themselves transgender, teenagers watched videos about the so-called "transition", communicated with transgender people on social networks and read transgender resources. Many were also friends with one or more transgender people. A third of the respondents reported that if there was at least one transgender teenager in their circle of communication, then more than half of the teenagers in this group also began to identify themselves as transgender. A group in which 50% of its members become transgender represents a rate 70 times higher than expected prevalence among young people.
At the request of LGBTQ+ activist researchers, Littman's paper was subjected to a rare second round of peer review after publication. The main criticism was that the study relied on parental reports.
New research, which studied 1655 parent reports, further supports the rapid development of gender dysphoria (ROGD) hypothesis, first put forward by Dr. Lisa Littman in 2018. The ROGD hypothesis proposes that the recent surge in transgender-identifying adolescents is due to an increase in the number of previously gender-normative adolescents who have developed gender-related distress in response to various psychosocial factors (e.g., mental illness, trauma, etc.).
This study, co-authored with Suzanne Diaz and J. Michael Bailey and published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, still relies on parent reports. The authors come to the conclusion that "There is currently no reason to believe that the reports of parents who support gender reassignment are more accurate than those of those who oppose gender reassignment".
The scientists write: “The results were focused on 1655 young people whose gender dysphoria began between the ages of 11 and 21, inclusive. Disproportionately, 75% of the sample were biological women. Pre-existing mental health problems were common, and young people with these problems were more likely than those without them to make a social and medical transition. Parents reported that they often felt pressured by clinicians to confirm their child's new gender and support the transition. According to the parents, the mental health of these children deteriorated significantly after the social transition».
❗️Springer has announced that the article will be retracted.
The retraction was initiated after a group of LGBT activists and so-called “gender experts” (including current WPATH President Marcy Bowers) wrote a letter demanding the paper be retracted because the authors had not received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for the study. They also called for Archives of Sexual Behavior editor Dr. Ken Zucker to be fired (ironic, considering how many articles he has published in support of LGBT ideology).
The Russian Psychiatric Journal published the work of Rostov specialists "Clinical and dynamic characteristics of transsexual-like conditions in schizotypal disorder in adolescents".
More than 120 adolescents with schizotypal personality disorder who experienced transgender-like states (TSPS) were examined in a controlled experiment. None of them showed a true violation of gender identity, but only its imitation, due to pathological grouping reactions, overvalued hobbies and an overvalued dysmorphomanic idea.
A special role in the multiple increase in the number of teenagers positioning themselves as “transgender” was played by the strengthening of LGBT* propaganda in the media space that has occurred over the past decade, the popularization of gender ideology, the increase in public interest in gender role violations, as well as the unprecedented availability of virtual resources and their active use by teenagers.
The first encounter of adolescents with information about "transgender" in the virtual space happened by accident. In all cases, this information described the phenomenon from the point of view of "gender ideology" - as a normative, but unfairly stigmatized variant of self-perception in society.
The acquisition of knowledge about the possibility of a radical change in appearance and lifestyle through the "transgender transition" was accompanied by the emergence of a vivid and complex emotional reaction, which contributed to the temporary compensation of obsessive experiences of depressive, dysmorphophobic and auto-aggressive content. The improvement in mental state achieved in this way led patients to instantly fix their attention on a given topic.
Later, they began communicating with individuals identifying themselves as "LGBT*". The features of "transgender" communities that were attractive to teenagers were demonstrative peacefulness and empathy as an integral element of the intra-group communicative culture, the proclaimed orientation toward the ideas of freedom and universal equality, opposition to the "repressive" social order, and the desire for consolidation with the goal of jointly resisting a hostile social environment. Having received positive emotional reinforcement in the process of these conversations in the form of words of support, expressions of solidarity in experiences, and demonstrations of the interlocutors' readiness to actively maintain communication, the patients began to group in this environment.
In the process of grouping, patients adopted cultural preferences, political views, external paraphernalia, specific jargon of community members. Prior to the acquisition of "transgender identity", most adolescents with schizotypal personality disorder began to identify themselves as bi- or homosexuals, and only later - as "transgender". The number of adolescents who declare their homosexuality in one of the groups increased 5 times!
These discoveries once again demonstrate the effectiveness of LGBT* propaganda, one of the areas of which, which has recently gained particular momentum, is the so-called “transgenderism” – a fictitious and destructive concept about non-pathological inconsistencies of a person’s identity with his biological gender. It's obvious that social infection (peer contagion), based on the mutual influence and imitation of peers, plays a significant role in the development of adolescent transgenderism.
In addition, it turned out that before the onset of gender dysphoria, 62% of respondents had one or more diagnoses of a mental disorder or impaired neurodevelopment. In 48% of cases, the child experienced a traumatic or stressful event before the onset of gender dysphoria, including bullying, sexual abuse, or parental divorce. “This suggests that the desire for sex change expressed by these adolescents can be harmful coping- a strategy than, for example, the use of drugs, alcohol or cutting ”- explains the author of the study, Lisa Littman.
But, as happens with any discrepancy with the theses of LGBT* propaganda, research Lisa Littman was met with raucous cries of "transphobia" and calls for censorship. The administration of the university readily caved in and quickly removed the article about the study from its own website. By statement dean, it “May discredit attempts to support trans-youth and nullify the prospects of representatives of the transgender community”.
The article that confirmed these facts was “retracted” by LGBT* activists.
Psychiatry Professor Richard Corradi compared the irrational and anti-scientific basis of the "trans-movement" with mass psychosis:
“Transgenderism rejects the natural laws of biology and transforms human nature. The philosophical foundation of the trans movement is one of the mass delusions that are characterized by false beliefs, not supported by any scientific or empirical evidence, and have an infectious property that takes over rational thinking and even common sense. This highly human tendency to drop one's own critical judgment and follow the crowd is greatly facilitated by social media and the approval of APA 'experts'. "
Tragically misled by LGBT* propaganda, “transgenders” who have destroyed their bodies by taking chemicals and undergoing expensive surgeries sooner or later realize that “gender reassignment” has not solved their problems and has not brought them any closer to happiness. Many, of course, initially try rationalize they convince themselves and others that their life is now beautiful, but in the end - through 8, 12 and even 15 years - comes remorse for the deed, which can no longer be corrected.
More than 40% of those who completed the operation try to settle accounts with life, but there are also those that recognizethat they made a mistake, accept their biological gender and try to warn others not to repeat their mistake. One such person is Walt Heyer, who for 8 years lived as Laura Jensen.
Mental disorders can act as both conditions and consequences of a violation of gender identity. If you first deal with the treatment of these disorders, the desire to change gender usually disappears.
Russian scientists сообщилиthat of the 201 people requesting a gender reassignment, only 21 showed no comorbid mental illness. In all other patients (87%), transsexualism was combined with schizophrenic spectrum disorders, personality disorders, and other mental disorders.
Similar picture have described and their American counterparts: the prevalence of diagnoses of mental disorders among transgender people is 77%, including anxiety, depression, and psychosis.
In 2016, two leading scientists from Johns Hopkins Research University through thorns managed to publish a politically incorrect work, summarizing all available biological, psychological and sociological studies in the field of sexual orientation and gender identity. Among the key findings of the report were the following:
“The hypothesis that gender identity is an innate, fixed trait of a person that does not depend on the biological gender (that a person can be“ a man stuck in a woman’s body ”or“ a woman stuck in a man’s body ”) has no scientific evidence.”
One of these scientists is Dr. Paul McHugh, who has been studying transgender patients for 40 years, said what:
“The idea that a person’s gender is a sensation, not a fact, has penetrated our culture and leaves the victims in their path. Gender dysphoria should be treated with psychotherapy, not surgery. ”
В interview for CNS News, he said:
“The Obama administration, Hollywood and the mainstream media that promote transgenderism as the norm do not help society or transgender people, seeing their delusions as a right to be protected, not a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.
First, the idea of gender mismatch is simply flawed - it doesn't fit with physical reality. Secondly, it can lead to serious psychological consequences. A person who imagines that he is different from his male or female, determined by nature, is like an emaciated person with anorexia who looks in the mirror and thinks that he is overweight.
Trans activists don't want to know that research shows that 70% to 80% of children who experience transgender feelings spontaneously lose those feelings over time. And while most of those who underwent gender reassignment surgery said they were “happy” with the surgery, their subsequent psychosocial adaptation was no better than those who did not.
At Hopkins University, we discontinued gender reassignment surgery because creating a “satisfied” but still unhealthy patient was not an adequate reason for surgical amputation of normal organs.
“Sex change” is biologically impossible. People who undergo gender reassignment surgery do not turn into men from women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women. Claiming it is a civil rights issue and encouraging surgery is actually condoning and promoting mental disorder. "
No one is born with gender, but everyone is born with a biological gender. Human sexuality is an objective, biological, binary characteristic, the obvious purpose of which is the reproduction and prosperity of our species. The norm is a man with the karyotype 46, XY and a woman with the karyotype 46, XX. Extremely rare sexual development disorders (DSD) are completely identifiable from a medical point of view, deviations from the sexual binary norm and are universally recognized pathology.
There is about 6 500 genetic differences between men and women who do not have the power to change hormones or surgery. These differences are expressed in the features of the anatomy, structure and function of the brain, the functioning of internal organs, metabolism, behavior, a tendency to various diseases and mortality.
The so-called “psychological sex” or “gender” (the subjective feeling of being a man, a woman, or somewhere in between) is not an objective fact, such as, for example, innate biological sex, but a fictitious sociological and psychological concept. Men and women do not perceive themselves as such from birth – this is achieved in the process of psychosexual development, which, like any other process, can be disrupted by adverse events and interpersonal relationships, on the basis of which the seeds of fatal delusions, planted by massive LGBT* propaganda, can sprout into wild weeds.
“Nothing characterizes the cultural decline of the West as our tolerance for open homosexuality and this transgender mania- comments Professor Camilla Paglia. Transgender propaganda makes wildly exaggerated claims of plurality of genders. Transgenderism has become a fashionable and convenient label that socially excluded youth is in a hurry to hang on themselves. If in the 50s the renegades became beatniks, and in the 60s - hippies, now the delusion that their problems are connected with the birth not in "their own body" is encouraged. [and that gender reassignment can solve them]. However, even today, with all scientific achievements, one cannot actually change one's gender. You can call yourself anything you like, but ultimately, every cell in the body and its DNA remains encoded in accordance with the innate biological gender. ”
Dr. John Mayer, who traced the follow-up history of the patients who performed the surgery, foundthat their psychological state has changed little. They still have the same problems with relationships, work and emotions as before. The hope that they would leave their emotional difficulties behind did not materialize. “Surgeons performing gender reassignment operations earn 1.2 million dollars a year. It’s just financially unprofitable to go out and admit that it’s inefficient - explains Walt Heyer.
A person’s belief that he is not who he really is is, at best, a sign of confused, disoriented thinking. When a physically healthy, biologically born boy believes that he is a girl, or a physically healthy, biologically born girl considers himself a boy, this indicates an objective psychological problem that should be treated appropriately. These children suffer from gender dysphoria, which is a recognized mental disorder, as recorded in the latest edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) and the WHO International Tenth Revision Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).
According to DSM-5, up to 98% of gender-dysphoric boys and 88% of girls will eventually adopt their biological gender after the natural termination of puberty. However, this can only happen if their confusion and error are not encouraged. However, the court in Canada decidedthat the father of a depressed 14-year-old girl cannot interfere with her decision to “change gender”. If the father continues to contact her daughter by her female name or tries to dissuade her from changing sex, this will be regarded as domestic violence.
One of the first transgender people, Richard Ruskind, better known as "tennis player" Renee Richards, recalls about unhealthy psychological conditions in the house: “Relations between parents consisted of daily scandals, none of which father came out victorious.” His older sister acted like a boy, and he was assigned the role of a little girl in their games. She pressed his penis into his crotch and said: “Well, now you are a girl.” His mother periodically dressed him in women's underwear, believing that it suits the boy. Richard later called his family "a misunderstanding in which not a single normal person would survive."
Recently стало известноthat the transgender Tavistock Clinic conducted dangerous experiments with hormones to influence the puberty of children, resulting in a dramatic increase in already large numbers of children trying to commit suicide or harm themselves. The clinic has hidden this data. The head of the clinic told about them, who resigned in protest over the inadequate position of the leadership. According to him, parents reported a sharp jump in children's behavioral and emotional problems, as well as a significant deterioration in their physical well-being. Moreover, no positive effect on the experience of gender dysphoria as a result of the “treatment” was observed. The researchers themselves expressed concern about irreversible consequences for the development of the skeleton of children, their growth, the formation of genitals and figures.
Among adults taking cross-sex hormones and having undergone “gender reassignment” surgery, the suicide rate is almost 20 times higher than the general population. What kind of compassionate person in their right mind would condemn children to such a fate, knowing that gender rejection is a temporary protective mechanism, and that after puberty before 88% of girls and 98% of boys will eventually accept reality and achieve a state of mental and physical balance?
The only group where observed similar percentage suicide attempts are schizophrenics.
Encouraging mental illness in children, pushing them on the path of lifelong intake of toxic cross-sex hormones and committing unnecessary surgical injuries only so that they can pretend to be a person of the opposite sex is at least an abuse of children. Cross-sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen) are associated with severe health risks, including heart disease, high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke, diabetes, cancer, etc. Those who start hormone “therapy” in their teens will never be able to conceive their children even using artificial reproductive technology. That is, in addition to other misfortunes, it is also genetic suicide, a break in the genealogical line, a delicious spit in the face of a long string of ancestors who have stored and passed on from generation to generation a priceless burden of DNA.
“Three years after the operation, I quit taking hormones, — says a woman who changed her gender to male in documents. - Depend on chemistry and be a human remake - abnormal and unnatural. Every month your consciousness changes, you even begin to think like a man. Moreover - I started having problems with my kidneys and liver, swelling in my hands, my body began to grow stout, my blood became thick. Once my face turned yellow for three weeks, it was a terrible sight. And I decided - that's enough! It was no longer a question of self-expression, but of elementary health and even life as such. ”
Neurobiology has unequivocally established that the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for prudence and risk assessment, does not complete its development until the mid-twenties. It has never been more scientifically substantiated than now that children and adolescents cannot make informed decisions regarding permanent, irreversible and life-changing medical interventions. For this reason, the abuse of “gender ideology” is destructive in the first place for the gender-dysphoric children themselves, as well as for all their peers, many of whom will subsequently begin to question their own gender identity and even take the irreversible path of hormonal manipulation and self-harm.
“For the benefit of all, I insist that a surgical operation whose results are irreversible should be the last resort - says psychotherapist Bob Whiters who worked with children. We must always start working with the patient so that change the perception in accordance with the characteristics of the body, and not change the body in accordance with the characteristics of perception. Meanwhile, within the framework of the modern healthcare system, professionals are pushing hundreds, if not thousands of teenagers, to undergo a serious “sex change” operation. In 20 years, we will look back and realize that this stupidity has become one of the most terrible chapters in the history of modern medicine. ”
Given the above, it is no exaggeration to say that the “gender” and other “queer” theories promoted to the population by LGBT* propaganda are nothing more than deadly information viruses that spread through social infection. It is LGBT* propaganda that is the root of this problem, since it itself creates it, turning initially healthy children with fleeting problems into “transgenders,” “homosexuals,” and a whole legion of other fictitious identities that cripple their psyche and body.
How all this works is clearly illustrated, including by example Articles BBC publications that are difficult to suspect of “homophobia” or “transphobia”. Against a general tolerant and justifying background, very interesting and very revealing facts slip in it:
• that the Internet is to blame for the growing number of “transgender” children;
• that the majority of “transgender” children who, for whatever reason, were not fed by the so-called “Inhibitors of puberty”, by adulthood they thought over and refused to “change” gender;
• that clinics in the US are suffocating from the growing influx of “patients”;
• that a Hollywood propaganda machine is participating in the promotion of transgenderism as something mundane and even comical, creating propaganda films that encourage life-threatening psychiatric disorder under the guise of funny comedies about transgender grandfathers.
It is necessary to pay attention to the glaring contradictions and inconsistencies in the LGBT* ideology. Despite the fact that the sex of an individual determined by chromosomes is an innate fact, LGBT* agitators claim that a woman can be born in a man's body or vice versa, and that the decisive factor here is not the objective biological sex, but the subjective psychological one - "gender", which, on the one hand, has "fluidity", but on the other hand, cannot be changed. That is, innateness is not destiny. At the same time, when it comes to homosexuality, the same people, splashing poisonous saliva, will prove that innateness is destiny, and it is what determines the homosexual orientation of sexual desire and the "impossibility" of changing it. Thus, LGBT* propagandists see innateness and immutability where they do not exist, while ignoring the real – truly immutable – innateness of biological sex.
Another contradiction is that LGBT* activists argue that a man's masculinity and a woman's femininity are "Socially constructed stereotypes imposed by the patriarchal system that need to be eliminated"but at the same time, transgender people reinforce these "stereotypes", invariably referring to the hypertrophied and caricatured patterns of the opposite sex: men - to feathers, sequins, vulgar dresses and clown makeup; women - to abundant facial and body hair, tattoos in the style of Latin gangs, steroid muscles, cigars, etc. In addition, activists argue that there is nothing wrong with transgenderism from a medical point of view, but at the same time require access to medical care. drugs and operations at the expense of taxpayers, thus making transgenderism the first non-medical condition requiring medical intervention.
A person’s desire to amputate healthy limbs perceived by him as alien is known as xenomelia and is included in the "syndrome of violation of the integrity of the perception of the body" (BIID) recognized as a mental disorder. But when a person wants to cut off not a hand, but a penis, we are told that this is no longer a disorder, but a “self-expression" that needs to be maintained and protected ...
LGBT* activists readily cite Ray Blanchard's hypothesis of intrauterine feminization of the male brain to support the innateness of homosexuality and transsexuality, but they completely ignore the fact that he considers both phenomena to be pathological deviations. According to Blanchard, "Normal sexuality is anything to do with reproduction" and "The True Nature of Transsexualism is a Mental Disorder».
In light of the above, we can make an unambiguous conclusion about the real danger emanating from the ideology of this well-organized and Western-financed antisocial group known as LGBT*, whose propagandists easily circumvent the existing Russian law on the protection of children from information, propaganda and agitation that is harmful to their health, moral and spiritual development. In reality, minors are not protected in any way from the aggressive attacks of LGBT* propagandists who impose destructive attitudes on them that do not correspond to reality and actual psychiatric disorder, which entails irreparable consequences.
