Transgendering A Toddler Is Child Abuse

I love the way this guy writes as well his willingness to address any 'political correctness' issue in plane language without fear of reprisal.

In this case: “The Day” referenced, is the day they decided to raise their son as their daughter. Just like that, a 3 year old says “I’m sad because I’m a boy” and his parents sentence him to a life as a transgendered person. Rather than tell Jack that being a boy was a good thing, rather than let him know society could not exist without men, rather than explain gender to Jack, deal with Jack’s sadness, or teach Jack how to be a man, these parents did what entirely too many parents do today, and placated him.

They bought him elastic hair bands and gave him ponytails. They, with the help of his pre-school teacher, began discussing what his female name would be. They, being the obviously less than creative people they are, decided to call Jack, Jackie. They bought Jack his own dresses, girl toys, and all the other things parents do when raising a girl."The hateful monsters of this world are the ones who tell sick people not to get better. The bigots are the ones who, in their contempt for humanity itself, encourage and promote a lethal illness. The cruelest and most evil people in this world are the ones who parade mental illness around as a source of pride for political purposes."

And:
"Men should be proud to be men, and women should be proud to be women. Both genders serve incredibly important and necessary purposes in society. Those purposes are different, they are unequal, and they are not always pleasant, but they have led us to become the undisputed ruling species of this planet. Those who would seek to undo this are the same ones who tell us that we should have fewer children because they blame “humanity” for the destruction of “nature” as if human beings were unnatural.

The promotion of transgenderism as some kind of civil rights cause that ought to be championed and paid for by government, is nothing short of a scheme to undo that which makes mankind the dominant species of the Earth. Gender is important, it is involuntary, and it is a positive and healthy feature of the human experience and our survival. The abolition of human gender is the abolition of the human race, I will stand in defiance against it until I am eaten by maggots, as should everyone who has even the slightest respect for humanity."

    I agree that an adult wanting to dress anyway he/she/both wants is and should be an individual choice. I don't agree with parents or society trying to influence them to do something at an early age that has a good chance of resulting in mental disorder later in life or trying to make that an acceptable part of my child's life.

    As to Dr. (?) Money, read up him. He was a medical/mental monster.

    What is the result of sex genes affecting so many traits? That part rings true, but I don't get why Jack has to become Jackie. Why can't Jack, I wonder, wear dresses and girls' hairstyles and still use a boy's name? Furthermore, why does a parent's decision to call Jack Jackie (which I don't understand) make people in the article argue that the genders serve seperate and unequal purposes that we should be proud of. We do not have to be proud of our group traits. Let Jack serve his own purposes and desires, which might involve wearing women's clothes, and be proud of that.

    Sorry to make a joke about something serious, but if you had mention the "infamous sexologist Dr. Money" I would have a guessed it was a stage name for a rapper. I'm really ignorant about that.

    Yes, I think that certain (the majority) of LGBT conditions are in fact birth defects and I think that some LGBT expressions in that population are socially and parent influenced if not induced.

    I think that any desire to surgically and hormonally alter one's physical appearance, beyond certain defect or injury caused conditions, is a mental disorder that effects one's life in numerous damaging ways.

    Anything that follows from the work of John Money, a monster of Nazi Doctors' proportions, is just flat wrong.

    Liking something, just because it is "legal", using something, and the quantity of people "taking advantage" of it does not necessarily make it right, or proper.

    My issue is with Government MANDATING coverage due to some specific groups who think it is their right to TAKE from others by force using Government mandates to take the product of MY labor by force to satisfy their personal CHOICE.

    If you have entered into a voluntary contract between an insurance company whose VOLUNTARY coverage is part of the value you pay for fine. BUT Government has taken that VOLUNTARY aspect completely out.

    Also You and I can get the same IDENTICAL coverage, yet I have to pay $1678/mo, and you only pay $648/mo depending on your personal income? That is STEALING the product of MY labor. No different than if you were forced to pay $6.00 per gallon of gas while the welfare mooch pays 50 cents for the same gallon.

    That is NOT objectivist that is called being a Looter and/or Moocher.

    I disagree with your conclusion, But I can understand your failing to grasp the sex controlled 'gender' expressions of individuals. During fetal development, the sex genes cause an amazing number of effects on nearly all aspects of the fetus. It's estimated that some 250 sex related alterations happen to the male fetus.

    The problem started with a discredited sexologist named John Money, a man deserving of the term monster, as applied to the Nazi Doctors of fame. He's the one, in 1955, that introduced the term gender to the general language as descriptive of roles or expressions of the sexes. Prior to that date, gender was commonly used to denote grammatical categories. Through his studies of hermaphrodites, he developed the ideas of sex reassignment surgeries and he destroyed the lives of at least one family, the John/Jane case that he based much of his revelations upon claiming success. His role in that stupendously failing, in my opinion criminal, experiment only came to light in the late 90's and early 2000's.

    By that point, many in the LGBT and socially progressive communities had accepted and adopted the idiot's reasoning and beliefs. And their belief systems, to a large extent, are based on that man's errant work.

    Transgenderism is a serious mental disorder (see the DSM for details), projecting it on a little boys may be a greater mental disorder (Munchausen by proxy ?). Besides, the boy protests he is a boy, which shows the complete inanity of his parents' charade.
    It is, definitely, child abuse.

    Well, I think you need to check the multitude of regulatory requirements for your list, i.e. grocery store and FDA, Professional Engineer Licensing and requirements, Universal Building Code and NFC, and state hair style licensing.

    Medically, I think brain growth and development completes at about age 25 and it appears that is also about the age where the many growth plates and factors also slow down and begin reversal with the exception of the feet and nose. But of course there's the ability to procreate which is occurring at younger and younger ages, even 10 in some rare cases. I don't think anyone seriously argues that puberty is a realistic age for adulthood measurement. Though many in the LGBT community argue that hormone replacement should begin then, I suppose to halt or minimize the many natural sexual related physical changes until the decision is made to complete SRS.

    Socially and culturally, I think it varies all across the possible spectrum and I doubt there's any certain measurement. Personally, I think that here in the US, that we've been infantilizing our youth for decades now, particularly since the 50's, to the detriment of all.

    Good question. +1

    Spot on, and so it rolls... downhill.
    Personal responsibility for anything and everything is obsolete. And politicians are some of the worst examples.

    My mom had my brother around age 18 or 20.

    In casual conversations with friends and relatives, I've suggested that men DO 'mature' later than women... by ten years or more!

    And most men don't really 'hit their prime' of having their heads screwed on frontwards until they're somewhere in their early or mid 40s. :)

    For some reason, you seem to think that I'm on the side of folks who 'want the government to pay for everything...'

    No, I'm not a Democrat or a Liberal.

    I support private insurance contracts between individuals and companies, paid for BY the Individual, to cover whatever the hell they want covered (or not covered.)

    I was morbidly obese and discovered that, between BCBS and Medicare, I could get the appropriate surgery for a lot less out-of-pocket than if I'd walked into the bariatric surgery office and said, 'sign me up and here's the cash.'

    I took advantage of laws, regulations and opportunities already on the books.

    If you don't like the rules, work to change them, but don't beat me or anyone else for taking advantage of completely legal options.

    I know a guy who loves the full medical insurance, retirement plan and tons of other perqs he gets for working just a few months out of the year... like January through April. All that free coverage and benefits for working maybe 1/3 of a year. And he's a conservative/libertarian!!!

    How can you DO that, I asked! 'Because it's legal and available, and the IRS is willing to hire me EVERY YEAR to help them.'

    Now, bug off.

    Are you serious?
    No one has asked so far, but how long will it be before the procedure(s) are covered by government insurance? Then, we will all pay. To date, every elective procedure has an advocacy group vying to get their pet project covered one way or another. AAARGH!!

    It's unfortunate that "healthcare system" has caught on as the name for the market for healthcare. Fortunately we don't have a grocery store system, engineering system, building construction system, hair styling system, etc.

    I agree with almost all your comments. I have a note about averages.

    "The machine age removed the advantage of physical strength and delivered the advantage to intelligence. Since women are statistically more intelligent than men, "

    Averages don't matter when assessing individuals. Each sex might be better than the other in some area on the average, but usually there's more variation from individual to individual. In the US Asians do better on engineering test than African Americans, but I know many stark counter examples. We wouldn't say, "Engineering is a task suited for Asians."

    Yes. I'm saying gender is separate from sex. This makes me not understand why people could feel the need to change sex or gender. I don't understand how I could say "I feel like a woman" b/c if I'm biologically male, how I feel is by definition one way for a male to feel. So I just don't get the need to be a different gender. It seems to give too much importance to gender.

    You raise an interesting question about age. When is one old enough to be considered an adult, and able to make one's own choices.

    I got a driver's license at 16, could vote at 18, could not drink until 21, age of sexual consent varies from state to state. My great-grandmother was married at age 14.

    I don't expect a definitive answer here - in fact, I doubt there is one. But "every child is different" doesn't help get us closer to the answer. Is there another, more definitive way of determining maturity?

    I agree. At 3 1/2 yo this is about development and parenting, later at puberty the issues from a developmental standpoint and personal choices are much different

    Not familiar, I'll have to check it out, but you make it sound like something I really wouldn't want to watch.
