Over the last 6.5 years, we have really seen a rise in those who are identifying as transgender. It is suggested that, according to Samuel Paul Veissière Ph.D., “all the culturally recognized incidences of pre-modern transgender individuals mentioned above involve natal males who transition to female. In the DSM-5, prevalence rates of gender dysphoria are estimated at 0.005 percent to 0.014 percent of the population for natal males, and 0.002 percent to 0.003 percent for natal females,” (Psychology Today - Why Is Transgender Identity on the Rise Among Teens?). As someone who has researched this topic, these numbers certainly fall in line with what I have found.
Rise in Gender Clinic Referrals
Transgender individuals are defined as, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), someone “whose gender identity or expression (masculine, feminine, other) is different from their sex (male, female) at birth. “Gender identity” refers to one’s internal understanding of one’s own gender, or the gender with which a person identifies. Gender expression is a term used to describe people’s “outward presentation of their gender.”
Social media is a contributing factor. Children who were once labeled as latch-key kids are now the ones who have children of their own. While social media does have its place in our world, it has created a disconnect.
"The internet is a vast space filled with information, misinformation, and disinformation, along with all the negative, positive, and neutral information that is out there. What has happened is that the internet has created a crevasse and divide, not just between parents and children, but within society as a whole, causing this disconnect. Children are disconnected from reality, playing video games, disconnected from reality, and disconnected from their parents, peers, and social connections due to the pandemic. Children are disconnected from school and other social connections that used to be part of everyday life that I had as a child and young adult growing up, suddenly ripped away, especially in the last couple of years.
Rise in trans-identification [[Tang, Annie]]
What this divide has caused for children is that they have lost their place in society, within their peer groups, and within their own communities. They are forced to connect online, where that is the only place they feel they fit in, where they no longer fit into society and feel they are different. These children have been left and abandoned, unintentionally for the most part, to fend for themselves and are expected to thrive in a society that they do not understand, looking for their place in the world. So they start looking outside themselves for understanding, and they find it in the form of people telling them what they think they are. They hear this belief that they are trans (transgender). They hear this term over and over again, day in and day out. The truth is, they were just looking for a place to fit in and finding this group of people who seem like they are just like them.
Over the years and through much study, I have seen and heard many occult stories, such as those of Jim Jones, David Koresh, and others. Even people like Charles Manson fit in because these people are some of the most charming individuals imaginable. Where am I going with this? These kids, who are looking for a home and a place where they fit in, hear this idea that they are trans and are charmed by the acolytes of the transgender ideology based on Queer Theory, where they can call themselves anything they like and be accepted as they are. It sounds great! Now that this has moved successfully down this path, they have started pushing for more inclusive ideas, with younger children and parents succumbing to its ideology and charms. It gets worse... This ideology pushes the idea that these children need to have surgery and take drugs to fix them because they are deemed broken and can be fixed by doctors who resemble Josef Mengele and the snake oil salesmen of the pharmaceutical companies.
Now we have a new world where children are being harmed because they are charmed by this idea that they are “transgender.” They can walk in and become lifelong patients to doctors and pharmaceutical companies, but no one discusses the mental health of these poor children. What scars are being left behind? I cannot seem to fathom this part of the issue, even with my knowledge, education, life experience, and certifications. I still cannot see past this wall because all I see is the pain continuing in the worst way. How can this be anything other than a cult? A belief system with theological origins based in Queer Theory? Do you think Judith Butler dreamed this is where it would lead, or do you think she intended this path?
My heart breaks for these children and what they are being put through because people lack the wisdom to understand the harms they are causing. A 5-year-old child doesn’t know anything unless a parent tells them. The state that is pushing these ideals, ideas, and laws is corrupt and evil, and should be entirely dismantled. Doctors and the medical establishment should have their licenses revoked, and they should be investigated, indicted, prosecuted, and imprisoned for violating their Hippocratic Oaths.
It is long past time that parents stand up and take back control of their children from these hordes of vile demons in the schools and state. It’s time to stop wasting tax dollars on a system of indoctrination rather than a system of education in this country. If you want to stop the growth of the gender ideology, you need to get involved in your schools, even if you aren’t a parent. You need to speak out against the wrongs of school boards and teachers who push their political and sexual identities onto children. If enough of us speak out, this will end.
