What is it with liberals and their fascination with death? Killing babies in utero isn’t good enough. Letting babies die after they are mistakenly born during a botched abortion (whatever that is) is still not good enough. Euthanasia for the sick and elderly isn’t enough for them. Doctor assisted suicide isn’t enough either. Even opening the southern border and flooding the country with opioids and fentanyl, killing over 100,000 Americans last year alone isn’t good enough. What’s next, another endless foreign war, this time in Ukraine killing and disfiguring thousands of young Americans? Yes, but there’s something else as well. The latest fad is transgenderism. With it comes not only the death of cultural norms, traditions, biological science and even common sense, but also untimely deaths of mostly youth who are allured by this new phenomenon.
Young people, particularly pubescent and pre-pubescent teens can’t think straight much of the time due to surging hormone levels. Their known immaturity in making important decisions is understood by sane adults. Thus, laws banning minors from smoking, drinking, buying guns, obtaining credit cards and driver’s licenses are in place and have been common for generations. Young ones can’t be trusted to make rational decisions regarding these and many other important, potentially life-changing issues because of their youth and inexperience, their cavalier exuberance and unacceptable risk taking. But not so when it comes to transgenderism.
In the face of all the knowledge we’ve acquired over centuries of ordered society, we are now expected, no, required, demanded, forced to believe that in one area over all others, we are to now trust youth to make existential decisions regarding their own biological sex, as never before. Those daring to stray from this newfound ideology are deemed phobic. The average parent understands that our children may tell us they want to be a T-Rex when they grow up and we laugh knowing that this childish notion will pass over time. I can recall my mom telling us the story of my older brother admiring the garbage men and telling her he wanted to be a trash truck when he grew up. I can safely inform you that he never became a truck and doesn’t claim to be one now.
One of the dire consequences of this new sexual fad is suicide. Listed in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Library of Medicine is this study (emphasis mine):
“Data indicate that 82% of transgender individuals have considered killing themselves and 40% have attempted suicide, with suicidality highest among transgender youth.”
Those numbers are epidemic proportions and should be unacceptable in any decent society that truly cares for its young people and future generations of young people. A 2016 study by the Mental Health Commission of Canada found that 1 in 3 transgender youth attempted suicide in the past year (2015). The most extensive long-term study conducted in Sweden over 30 years from 1973-2003 concluded,
“Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.”
That study found that 10 to 15 years after surgical reassignment, the suicide rate of those who had undergone sex-reassignment surgery rose to 20 times that of comparable peers.
What other result would one expect after mutilating your own body? Dr. Paul McHugh, the university distinguished service professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, explains:
“Transgendered men do not become women, nor do transgendered women become men. All (including Bruce Jenner) become feminized men or masculinized women, counterfeits or impersonators of the sex with which they ‘identify’. In that lies their problematic future.”
Of course, walking around through life as a “counterfeit” of your true self would be very disturbing to anyone, thus the high suicide rate. The obvious problem with transgenders is not what’s between their legs. It’s what’s between their ears. This is a mental health issue, not a medical issue. We may have very fine plastic surgeons, perhaps the best in the world, but they cannot perform plastic surgery on your brain, DNA or chromosomes.
The increase in those identifying as transgender is astronomical. I am not a believer in the Theory of Evolution, but if I were, I would have to conclude that evolution cannot be causing such a swift progression in mankind in this one area only, biological sex. Something else has to account for this explosive trend. In Amsterdam, the number of people assessed annually at a gender identity clinic from 1980 to 2015 increased by a factor of 20, from 34 in 1980 to 686 in 2015. Can Darwin’s theory explain that drastic trend as human evolution? Not likely. I’m sorry to have to inform liberals, but the human body is not fundamentally transforming mentally, emotionally and physically in this rapid manner naturally. This trend is artificially manufactured.
What can explain this burgeoning trend is several factors among others: increased tolerance for non-traditional thinking, peer pressure, and constant propagandizing by adults in positions of authority. Performance artists like Dylan Mulvaney and drag queens like Ru Paul are making it fashionable and in-vogue to stretch the bounds of sexual biology. They lure young minds into believing that this is all glitz and glamour, when just the opposite is true. Teachers and school administrators are crossing all appropriate boundaries of education by indoctrinating their young, captive audiences into this trans world. Such groomers should be fired not glorified as they are on TikTok. Take a gander at Libs of TikTok and see exactly what I’m referring to. Even my alma mater, West Point, is now mandating preferred pronoun training for cadets! I kid you not. No, that’s not thunder you’re hearing. It’s Chinese laughter.
Adults who should know better are jumping on the trans bandwagon. Hospital administrators, their boards and surgeons are performing hysterectomies, mastectomies and gonadectomies and reconstructive surgeries on minors for no medical reason. Follow the money. State legislatures in California and New Jersey are incarcerating male prisoners in female prisons, if the male prisoner just claims to be female. Last year in New Jersey a trans woman, i.e. male, prisoner was transferred back to the men’s prison after (s)he impregnated two female prisoners. Yes, the left wants us to believe that females can impregnate females and men can become pregnant. Can you believe we even have to have these conversations?!
Of course, corporations like United Airlines are getting in on the act too. Corporate woke virtue signaling is rampant. Their latest victim is Kayleigh (Kyle) Scott, a star, 25-year-old “trans-woman” flight attendant for United Airlines, that featured him in a recent ad for trans rights. He was found dead in his apartment from apparent suicide. His suicide note on Instagram read:
“As I take my final breaths and exit this living earth, I would like to apologize to everyone I let down. I am so sorry I could not be better,” Kayleigh Scott wrote in the Instagram post. “To those that I love, I am sorry I could not be stronger. To those that gave me their everything, I am sorry my effort was not reciprocated.”
The good news is that some legislators, state and federal, are starting to finally wake up to this menace. States are enacting laws forbidding genital mutilation surgeries, hormone treatments, and puberty blockers for minors. They are also enacting more laws outlawing men from participating in women’s sports. If you can’t hack it on the men’s team, too bad.
The bad news is that as we all know, many politicians are just plain stupid. One of those is Peggy Flanagan, Lt. Gov. (D-MN) who recently scolded parents who don’t want their child’s genitals to be surgically mutilated by doctors who have discarded their Hippocratic Oath, for something much more important, monetary gain. She thinks our job as “grownups” is to listen to and obey the fantasies of our children. According to her, if your child says he wants to grow up to be a knight in shining armor, you are to buy him armor (and polish), chainmail, a horse, and sword. Listen to a political buffoon tell you how to be a good parent:
Do you lousy parents understand that you MUST affirm your minor child’s fantasies? Parents, teachers, school administrators and pols who encourage sexual confusion in our youth should be ashamed of themselves. But they have no shame. However, we can hope, pray and help levelheaded adults make a real difference in this area by supporting school board members, politicians, doctors and the few remaining good teachers and others trying to combat this scourge. The lunatic fringe pushing this fad should be feeling the pushback and feeling it hard. Gender confusion shouldn’t be affirmed, it should be dissuaded with facts, logic and mental health care. We must defeat this death cult.

It’s actually pretty simple: in the woke world, anything and everything that even remotely relates to sex requires the left to take the most extremely far-left position possible, or they’re nothing but evil reich-wing conservatives and Trumpelstiltskins in disguise.
But there’s some comic-book and fantasy level stupidity as well. In some of the fantasies, the women can be just as bad-ass fighters as the men, kicking bad guys asses all the time. Some of us are smart enough to realize that fiction really is fiction, but some on the left have swallowed that stuff, not just hook, line, and sinker, but deep-throated the fishing rod and reel as well. They just can’t distinguish between fantasy and reality!
Eactly, and their fantasies are becoming everyone else’ nightmares. Teachers and school administrators are the worst and should be prosecuted for changing students names and genders without parents knowing. These people are sick, and, yes, evil.
Lets all follow Florida Governor DeSantis in stopping the Liberal Democrats from spreading their WOKE agenda and eliminating teaching our youth about sexual orientation and transgenderism.
Passing a bill to stop physical gender changes. No more pronouns No more gender changes you are what your biology is when you were born.
Thank you Governor
His is a good example to follow, except it should apply from K-12.
“Transgenderism” is a psychiatry and plastic surgery racket. Anyone undergoing “transition” procedures are being sold a bill of goods. They are not giving informed consent, as they are being lied to that it is possible to change their sex. It is not possible, they will be left with the same chromosomes, and internal organs they were born with. The current huge wave of increasing trans surgeries and therapies will be followed by the next wave of law suits. They are being lied to. They are being promised what is beyond anyone’s ability to deliver.
Exactly!
Absolutely outstanding & summative 30,000ft view of the travesties occurring in some states, and being outlawed in others.
This is evil vs good, God vs the evil one, great news: God wins🙏
It seems the world has gone mad. Can’t let evil win.
Sadly the folks who do this are already mentally in trouble. It is unsurprising they have high suicide rates.
True and “affirming” their fantasies harms them further.
the demons driving the transgender agenda know full well that all they are doing is killing the misfits, and these demons are laughing. Satan hates happy men and women, and he invented all the leftist bullshit to destroy what God makes. All of LGBTQ is of Satan. It’s time to realize that. The same crowd that loves abortion and euthanasia, promotes perversion.
Uganda will become Wakanda, while western nations collapse into idiocracies.
Demons they are.
What did Hitler do to the Jews? Where did all this attitude about death arise from? From John Malthus to that witch who founded Planned Parenthood, to Adolph Hitler, a trifecta was “born” to purify a race of people. Transgenderism is another form of abortion, only delayed, but equally as deadly. Hitler tried to extinguish a race of people, actually more than one, and the left was trying to figure out what Hitler accomplished and spread it around the world. Planned Parenthood is a worldwide organization. Cutting off parts of anatomy has the same effect as aborting a child.
You’re on target. 🎯🎯🎯
