Another day, another “news” story teaching us that playing with certain toys or liking certain foods means a toddler or an elementary school child is transgender.

This blogger always pushes back with verve.  (Excerpts below from linked righteous rant)


 …My parents kept trying to give me dolls and princess sparkly dresses, until eventually they gave up and let me have things I liked. I don’t think they minded that much really. Back in the day the idea I was trans would have never been a thought. They just said resignedly “OK, we have a bit of a tomboy”. 

 So so far we note that I preferred to play with boys and I didn’t like the toys “cisgender” girls are supposed to like. So I’m male on two counts. 

 Now food? Food is an issue? 

Women like different foods from men? As you’ve seen from my last post, I have issues with food. But my favourite food is gyoza (Japanese dumplings). I also like chicken a lot, especially fried ones (they do brilliant fried chicken in London) and omlet (which I can’t spell but can make). 

 Are those Boy Foods or Girl Foods? I need to know in case they take my vagina and uterus back when I’m not looking. 

 More fucking stupidity:

“Olson urged parents to support their children’s gender identity and pointed out that many of the parents in her study started out with negative reactions when their kids asserted that they were a different gender. This led to some serious mental health consequences for their kids, including becoming withdrawn and even self-harm.”

THEY WILL ALL KILL THEMSELVES YOU KNOW 

 I insisted for a few years I was a boy. Named Pete, in case you wondered. My parents reacted at first with mild amusement and then with frustration. Because it wasn’t true, you see. It was as true as when I was 3 and said “I cat, Mummy” while my mum was trying to wash the dishes. 

 What happened to me, as Totes Male as I am? I grew up into a fucking lesbian. With, granted, some dodgy fetishes. But a lesbian nonetheless and a woman. 

 I shudder to think of the courses of treatment I would be put on nowadays and what I would be told I was. To which “gender identity clinic” my worried parents would take me and which puberty blockers I’d be put on until I realised my true identity as a trans man.

“ This process allows the young person to continue to explore and make sense of their identity before committing to a full transition and life as a transgender adult.”

 Because that is the obvious end point. Fuck, how sinister is that?

It really is a brave new world. And now, the new frontier is parents and other family members harvesting their own eggs and sperm to be used by the kids they proactively chose to sterilize. The comments on GenderTrender are well worth the read too. Munchausen-by-proxy gone rogue. This is what passes for good parenting of elementary aged children now: 

 "I have a transgender 7 year old daughter. She has become a beautiful, happy, vibrant person since she started transitioning a year ago. I have no reason to think her identity will change and neither does her therapist. 

Because she is so young, she will most likely go on puberty blockers before she ever creates sperm. If she then goes onto hormone treatments directly from the blockers, she will be sterile. She will never create sperm. She’s too young to tell me whether she might someday want biological children, and I strongly suspect, knowing her personality as I do, that she will not want to give up hormone treatments for the length of time it would take to create sperm, because the effects on HER would be, well, significant.


“She’s too young to tell me whether she might someday want biological children.”

…but not too young for you and her “therapist” to make that decision for your child. Orwell lives. Long live doublethink.

GenderTrender is a must-read site for anyone interested in the negative impact of trans activism.

*****

The “Transgender Chicken Circuit”, for the uninformed, is a patchwork of media appearances, news and feature articles, talk shows, documentaries, convention and seminar appearances that savvy parents can weave together into a modest cottage industry of transgender child celebrity. Think of it as a Munchausen-marinated transgender version of “Toddlers and Tiaras.” …

…None of the children who have been subjected to these treatments have been followed into adulthood, nor the results of such treatments tracked, even though they have been going on for nearly two decades. No follow-up data of any kind, physiological or psychological, has ever been collected…

The problem with medical data collection and oversight is that it tends to introduce accountability: the dreaded paper trail. Which is what inconvenienced our twelve-year-old friend Leo last week when her mother approached her family doctor to administer the experimental pre-pubertal chemical castration injections. Her physician performed due diligence and researched the medication. What she found is that the long-term effects of puberty blockers have never been studied. The manufacturers of the medication warn that the long-term effect on children is unknown…

Trans men are assigned female at birth, they are not "biologically female" (lmao, the whole concept of biological sex is flawed). Gender is something that is imposed on you throughout your life, it is not something you were born with. It develops, for some people.

shamelesslyunladylike answered:

Look, you’re 15. I know you mean well. I know you want to be inclusive and accomodating to everybody, and that everybody deserves to be what they want. I believe in your good intentions.

But you are just plain wrong.

You see, sex exists. It does not depend on human concepts or even on human society. Sex is just a way organism reproduction evolved because it was an advantage. It ensured a more varied gene pool, which is good for the survival of the species. Even plants have sexes, though their sexed reproduction works different than human does.

Humans are mammals, sexually dimorphic, divided into males and females. We were like this way before we formed societies, before we developed languages, before we could even be considered human. So no, the concept of biological sex is not “flawed”. It’s reality, and all you have to do is observe nature to see it’s true.

The part you’re absolutely right about is that gender is something imposed on you throughout your life. This is the social construct, the idea that males should behave a certain way and females should behave another way. What is assigned to you when you’re born, sometimes before you’re even born, is a gender. You will still have a sex if you’re abandoned in the woods and raised by wolves, even though you will not have a word for it. But gender depends on society. It’s the expectations and constrictions that are laid upon you because of your sex.

Gender is not without purpose. It doesn’t happen naturally or randomly. It’s a system that ensures males will be raised to be dominating, aggressive and entitled, and females will be raised to be subservient, meek and non-confrontational. Gender is Patriarchy’s form of self-replicating, in a way, as it ensures each generation will be indocrinating into upholding the system. This is why gender needs to be done away with.

You might thing I’m “mean” or “exclusionary” when I say trans men are female, but this is a reality no one can escape. If a regular, gender conforming male finds out that his mate is trans, he will change the way he treats his friend. Not because of “identity”, but because he knows that this person is female, and he’s been indocrinated from birth to treat females with contempt. This is why trans men suffer misogynistic violence, including rape and forced pregnancy. This is why they’re ignored in the trans community itself, as males are socialized to take the spotlight and shove female issues aside. This is why trans men have to worry about testosterone atrophying their cervixes and causing life-threatening uterine infections.

You can’t escape from your biology. You can have all the surgery and HRT in the world, but in the end your sex is coded in your DNA, in each one of your cells. But you can do away with gender. You can refuse to play into the roles that are forced upon you. You can refuse to be feminine and not take on masculinity instead. You can just be.

Once you look at it the right way, you’ll see that gender is bullshit.

T also increases a transman’s chances of ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, osteoporosis. It also messes with the vagina and other self regulating parts of the body increasing frequency of yeast infections and UTIs. In addition it can have a long term effect on your heart and blood pressure and there have been many studies showing an increase in depression once on T.

All things most transmen don’t know before going on T which is fucking horrifying.

Is the ignorance of the harms of testosterone related to the “biological sex is a social construct” fallacy or is it just plain old unethical doctors?  A little bit of both?

I have no idea about anything on the Dr end of things except that there’s a lot of ignorance on the subject and there’s money involved. But T isn’t that expensive, like easily $20 for 3 months I’ve heard. But HRT for transwomen is VERY profitable and it’s all the same industry and the same culture. The culture is really the problem. We’re told “you feel like a man? Take this!” And it’s not that hard to get either, once you get to the drs and therapists. I”nformed consent” is becoming more of a big thing now, all you need to know is what to say and they’ll give you a prescription. Ppl are so quick to “match their body to their mind” or whatever. There are quiet a few detransitioned transmen but not many ppl talk about them. Ppl generally don’t talk about the problems with T bc no one cares about females, we’re outnumbered and transwoman dominate all convos in the trans community. In addition to this, transition is a generally new field and there’s very little research or long term studies. Even within that, most of them aren’t done on transmen. Even outside of the medical friend, this is true. It’s impossible to find a study about domestic violence against transmen, rape statistics etc. There are statics about ppl’s satisfaction with medical transition, rates of suicide before and after and no one pays attention to that.

It really just comes down to the whole mentality and culture. Sorry to ramble on so much lol

Why are trans activists so eager to push new gender id bills but never bother to demand research about the longterm health effects of the hormones they take. One would think that someone who “cares” so much about the safety of trans people would want to make sure that the hormones they take their entire lives are safe for them.

Take children for example: they want minors to transition and yet there is not a single research about how the puberty blockers and hormones affect the childrens health.

The only thing we have a personal experiences from people who had to take puberty blockers as children because of precocious puberty. And oh boy that really fucked their health up.

But what do trans activists say instead? The blockers are safe and reversible. How can someone believe this? It takes just a quick google search to learn more about the devastating effects these “blockers” have on peoples health.

Why even bother to call them puberty blockers? They are chemotherapy for cancer patients. And that alone should make people with common sense suspicious.

It often seems to me that, in order to fiercely defend gender politics, transactivists deactivate the rational, deductive parts of their brains, because their arguments can be blown over with a feather. Ideology over actual thinking.
