Recent Study Puts Lie to the Transgender Brainwashing Campaign
Most adolescents who are uncomfortable with their gender grow out of it. Pass it on.
According to a recent Williams Institute study, among youth aged 13 to 17 in the US, 1.4% (about 300,000 youth) identify as transgender. Among US adults, 0.5% (about 1.3 million adults) identify as transgender.
Two things stand out among those figures. One is the tiny proportion of the general population that this group comprises. The other is the smaller proportion of adults who identify as transgender, something we’ll explore in more detail shortly.
It’s most curious how such a tiny fraction of the world’s population has been suddenly thrust forward as the poster child for marginalization and victimization. While there’s no denying this group faces significant psychosocial challenges, it is hardly alone on that score.
All around the world, there are countless populations and minority groups undergoing marginalization and, in some cases, life-threatening persecution.
The people of Yemen, for example, continue to suffer the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. They not only have to contend with abject poverty, starvation, disease and displacement from their homes, but also deliberate and indiscriminate violence. And it’s been going on for years.
But it’s not the Yemeni for which Joe Biden makes a solemn declaration every year. Nope, it’s the Transgender Day of Visibility.
In February 2021, Biden declared the war in Yemen "has to end."
"And to underscore our commitment," said creepy Joe, "we are ending all American support for offensive operations in the war in Yemen, including relevant arms sales."
In the very next breath, he said "We’re going to continue to support and help Saudi Arabia defend its sovereignty and its territorial integrity and its people."
Which meant the US was going to maintain its highly lucrative arms sales to Saudi Arabia, the journalist-murdering regime that has led the offensive in Yemen, which has injured and killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians - including children.
If the US prevalence of adults who identify as transgender (0.5%) is extrapolated globally, that equates to around 40 million trans-identifying adults worldwide.
Meanwhile, some two billion people, or a quarter of the world's population, now live in conflict-affected areas, admits the spectacularly ineffective peacekeeping sham that is the United Nations.
Despite enough food to feed the entire planet, between 691 and 783 million people faced hunger in 2022. This represents an increase of 122 million people compared to 2019, before the COVID-19 scamdemic. Again, the UN is doing a terrible job at fighting starvation. Which is business as usual; the UN is owned and operated by GloboPedo, which has long used starvation as a population control strategy (refer to Henry Kissinger’s recommendations in his deranged 1974 National Security Study Memorandum 200; on page 77 he advised the US to punish "friendly countries" failing to meet the depopulation agenda by deliberately withholding scarce and crucial food resources, in order to trigger famine and starvation).
Yet Another Hidden Agenda
The true purpose of the globalist transgender campaign has nothing to do with "justice,” “dignity,” “respect" and all those other noble-sounding buzzwords LGB peppered his most recent LGBTQI+ “Visibility Day” speech with.
As if some sickeningly corrupt creep who sniffs people’s hair and fondles clearly uncomfortable children gives two uncontrolled farts about "justice,” “dignity” and “respect."
Joe is just following the script handed to him by his globalist masters, who also couldn’t give a frosty Davos turd about "justice,” “dignity” and “respect."
One of GloboPedo’s main gigs is depopulation. It believes the world is overpopulated with “useless eaters” who need to be “culled.” Dr Rima Laibow warned us 15 years ago that a global scamdemic was in the works.
The globalists are big fans of the “hit ‘em from all angles” strategy. They knew a fake pandemic and its accompanying ‘vaccine’ death shots would only go so far in population reduction. So they simultaneously upped the ante on their sexual laissez-faire campaign, which for years has successfully undermined the nuclear family unit by promoting promiscuity and hook-up culture as exciting and ‘liberating’ lifestyle choices.
Casual sex tends to be unproductive sex, in terms of creating new humans. But once again, getting people to view sex purely as an act of instant gratification only gets you so far when there’s lots of cullin’ that needs doin’.
Why not create a social environment in which people can be convinced that removing their genitalia is not only okay, but a desirable and even heroic thing to do? When someone’s reproductive equipment is rendered non-functional, they become one less creator of so-called “useless eaters.”
Here’s how that works. Some children and teens will transiently experience gender “dysphoria” (a state encompassing feelings such as discontentment, restlessness, dissatisfaction, malaise, depression, anxiety), or display ‘gender fluid’ behaviour. Some boys will transiently shun Tonka Toys for Barbie dolls. Some girls will understandably freak out when they begin menstruating, and temporarily wish they were boys, because boys don’t have to deal with ‘messy’ stuff like periods.
This is natural and in most instances, transitory. However, if you are a psychopathic deviant with a God complex who wishes to slash the world’s population and reshape what’s left into some bizarre transhumanist dystopia, you can’t leave well enough alone.
You instruct the media outlets owned by you and your degenerate billionaire mates to start incessantly banging on about transgender folks, and to portray them as the most marginalized and oppressed demographic on the planet. Don’t worry about those poor brown folks who are fighting off starvation, disease and wayward missiles that you sold to your Saudi friends - those people can’t help you fulfill an agenda, so just ignore ‘em.
You encourage doctors in the field to become irresponsible ideologues who enthusiastically offer gender reassignment surgery to minors, disregarding the recommended extensive screening process.
You impress upon minors that having their reproductive equipment removed is a perfectly normal and healthy thing to do. You ensure the social media platforms they use are saturated with a constant stream of content that glamorizes transgenderism.
You instruct the governments you’ve “penetrated” around the world to enact laws enabling minors to ‘transition’ to another gender and even undergo gender reassignment surgery without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
To suppress criticism of this agenda, you further instruct them to enact laws allowing non-violent commentators to be charged with “gender violence” when they correctly point out that a man who identifies as a woman is a man who identifies as a woman. This campaign will be so successful that even so-called macho, Catholic countries like Mexico will jump aboard such insanity.
The earlier you can capture people’s minds, the easier it will be to mold them in your twisted image. So you start bombarding even pre-school kids with a stream of inappropriate sexual content, all in the name of ‘diversity’ and ‘tolerance.’ You arrange for companies like Big W, largely owned by your investment vehicles Blackrock and Vanguard, to sell books aimed at young children featuring explicit sexual content.
You organize for libraries to start hosting book readings by drag queens, including such wholesome characters as Frock Hudson. He’s the upstanding role model who posts pictures of himself holding the genitals of other men.
Is this really the kind of person we want to teach kids about "diversity"?
Absolutely, says GloboPedo and their puppet politicians who roll out the red carpet for Hudson and his ilk.
Follow the Science (The Kind the Experts™ Don’t Want You to See)
A recent study has confirmed what us non-woke folk knew all along: Many kids experience gender dissatisfaction, and most grow out of it. The reckless, indiscriminate campaign encouraging kids and teens to gender transition increases the likelihood of unnecessary surgeries that will irreversibly destroy their reproductive capabilities.
The transgender agenda revolves around hiding this reality, and pushing youngsters into gender reassignment surgery before they’ve had a chance to grow out of their gender dysphoria.
The World Health Organization - the same globalist mouthpiece that declared a pandemic in March 2020 based upon fake research, fake PCR tests and fake videos of people ‘collapsing in China - recently announced it would be developing a guideline on “the health of trans and gender diverse people.” According to a WHO release, development of the guideline could take up to two years.
“Guideline” is Globalist-speak for “agenda implementation” and, sure enough, the focus will be on access to hormones and surgeries (what it calls “gender-inclusive care”) and legal recognition of gender self-identification.
Eyebrows were raised when the WHO named the 21-person committee tasked with setting the guidelines. The panel of ‘experts’ was heavily stocked with figures from the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH), including two former presidents; trans activists employed by the Global Action for Trans Equality network (GATE); the parent of a trans-identifying child; and at least one member with strong ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
Among this panel was Florence Ashley, a “transfeminine jurist and bioethicist” whose preferred pronouns are “They/Them/That Bitch.” Ashley stated in a 2019 paper “Unbounded social transition and ready access to puberty blockers ought to be treated as the default option” for children with gender dysphoria (bold emphasis added).
Ashley also said social transition, such as calling a child by their preferred pronouns, and puberty blockers “should be made readily available to all those who wish for them. Together we must recognise that exploration is best fostered not by delaying transition, but through transition.”
Ashley has a significant TikTok following to whom “That Bitch” expresses hardline views on trans issues, calling for mental health checks on trans children to be scrapped before they are given puberty blockers and hormone drugs.
Yep, let’s just rush kids into gender transition before everyone involved has a chance to seriously think things through, because someone who identifies as “That Bitch” and has a “be gay, do crimes” tattoo said so.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
In January, the Daily Mail ran a story revealing the WHO panel was stacked with activists lacking any medical qualifications, with a focus on Ashley’s dubious credentials. Lo and behold, a few days later, Ashley’s name was quietly removed from the list of panelists, under the pretext “they would be unable to participate due to a conflict in schedules.” The updated document claims Ashley “notified WHO in 2023” about this, but by way of remarkable coincidence the WHO didn’t get around to amending the list until after the embarrassing Daily Mail story.
Dear That Bitch: What’s the Hurry?
Adolescence is already difficult enough. What gender-confused kids really need is not increasing pressure to undergo puberty-blocking hormonal treatments and irreversible surgery to remove their genitals. What they really need is empathy and reassurance that what they’re experiencing is common, normal and probably transitory.
Some Things Aren’t Meant to Last
The recent study referred to in this article’s title was published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, and conducted by researchers at University of Groningen's Medical Center in the Netherlands.
As part of an adolescent wellbeing study called TRAILS, the researchers tracked more than 2,700 children from age 11 to their mid-twenties. Every three years, the subjects' "gender non-contentedness" was assessed by their agreement with the statement "I wish to be of the opposite sex." Participants indicated to which extent the statement applied to them during the past six months, by rating each item on a three-point scale:
0 = Not True
1 = Somewhat or Sometimes True
2 = Very True or Often True.
The first wave of measurements took place from March 2001 to July 2002. At the start of the study, when the average age of the cohort was 11.1 years, 11 percent of the subjects expressed 'gender non-contentedness' to varying degrees.
By age 25, only 4 percent said they were “often” or “sometimes” discontent with their gender.
So after a fourteen year follow-up, almost two-thirds of kids who initially said they often or sometimes wished to be of the opposite sex no longer felt that way.
The study featured two cohorts: TRAILS and TRAILS-CC, a smaller sample recruited from a large child psychiatric outpatient clinic in the northern Netherlands with the same target area covered by the general population cohort. This subset included children who had been referred to the clinic at any point in their life for any type of mental health problem.
In the general cohort, 88% of 11 year-olds responded with "never" to the statement "I wish to be of the opposite sex." By the time they reached 26 years of age, that figure had risen to 97%, with only 1% stating they “often” wished to be of the opposite sex.
In the clinical cohort, 91% initially responded “never” at age 11; this rose slightly to 93% at age 26. The number of subjects initially responding with “often” dropped from 2% to 1%.
The researchers concluded:
"The results of the current study might help adolescents to realize that it is normal to have some doubts about one’s identity and one’s gender identity during this age period and that this is also relatively common. Furthermore, the insight that gender non-contentedness is relatively common during early adolescence in a general population and youth psychiatric care sample, might provide some perspective to clinicians primarily seeing individuals with intense gender dysphoric feelings and give them a more comprehensive view on the range of developmental patterns of gender identity in the general population and in children receiving youth psychiatric care."
This is not the first study to report such findings, but it is the first to my knowledge to have attracted the attention of a mainstream media outlet like the Daily Mail.
A 2021 paper reported on 1,806 Taiwanese youth who were surveyed in 2000 (mean age 13.3 years) and again in 2009 (mean age 22.3). Most (86.5%) were satisfied with their gender at both time points, while 7.8% were dissatisfied in 2000 but satisfied in 2009. A further 4.8% were satisfied in 2000 but not in 2009, while only 0.9% were consistently dissatisfied at both time points.
Another 2021 paper reported on 139 boys referred to a Toronto clinic for gender dysphoria, with regard to gender identity and sexual orientation. In childhood, the boys were assessed at a mean age of 7.5 years (mean year 1989) and followed-up at a mean age of 20.6 years (mean year 2002). In childhood, 63.3% of the boys met DSM criteria for gender identity disorder; the remainder were subthreshold for the criteria.
At follow-up, gender identity/dysphoria was assessed via multiple methods and participants were classified as either persisters or desisters. Of the 139 participants, 12.2% were classified as persisters and the remaining 87.8% were classified as desisters.
This study is noteworthy because the sample was wholly comprised of kids clinically referred for gender dysphoria. In their discussion section, the authors made a critical observation: the boys in the current study were seen during a period of time when treatment recommendations were often aimed at reducing the gender dysphoria between the child’s felt gender identity and biological sex. Such recommendations, noted the researchers, included psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, behavior therapy, group therapy, parent-counseling, and interventions in the naturalistic environment, such as encouragement of same-sex peer relations.
“It can,” noted the researchers, “be said with certainty that the vast majority of boys were seen during a particular period of time when the therapeutic approach of recommending or supporting a gender social transition prior to puberty was not made.” (Bold emphasis added).
“In contrast, in recent years, it has become more common for some clinicians to recommend a gender social transition prior to puberty. It has also become more common for parents to have already implemented a gender social transition on their own, without any formal input from a health professional. As argued by Zucker, this is a very different type of psychosocial treatment designed to reduce gender dysphoria when compared to the other kinds of treatments noted above that have been recommended over the years.”
Children with gender dysphoria, and their parents, are being fed a number of potentially catastrophic lies.
One is that the gender dysphoria of a child is an accurate predictor of his/her adult gender preference. More often than not, the research shows this is incorrect; most kids will be relieved of any gender dysphoria by their mid-twenties.
The other big fat transgender lie is that the only treatment choice for gender dysphoria is to ‘transition’ to whatever gender the subject currently feels is his/her ‘correct’ one. This is false - there are far less invasive strategies that don’t involve the inherent risks of hormonal treatments and genital surgeries.
According to Rachel Levine, the transgender US assistant secretary for health, clinics are proceeding carefully and no American children are receiving drugs or hormones for gender dysphoria who shouldn’t. “It’s not like anyone who arrives automatically gets medical treatment,” she told Reuters.
Well, they might not get treatment on the very first visit, but there’s no denying kids are being rushed into treatment before going through internationally recommended diagnostic procedures.
Even WPATH, in its current Standards of Care, recommends comprehensive assessments to determine whether adolescents are suitable for medical treatment. “There are no studies of the long-term outcomes of gender-related medical treatments for youth who have not undergone a comprehensive assessment,” the guidelines note. “Treatment in this context (e.g., with limited or no assessment) has no empirical support and therefore carries the risk that the decision to start gender-affirming medical interventions may not be in the long-term best interest of the young person at that time.” (Bold emphasis added)
Another entity that is no way anti-trans but still emphasizes extensive screening is the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam. Researchers from the Center’s gender identity clinic have published a number of studies emphasizing the importance of rigorous patient assessments before starting medical treatment.
At the Amsterdam clinic, adolescents are eligible for puberty suppression when they are diagnosed with gender identity dysphoria, have shown persistent gender dysphoria since childhood, live in a supportive environment, and have no serious comorbid psychiatric disorders that may interfere with the diagnostic assessment. In addition, adolescents should have physical changes of puberty to at least Tanner stage 2–3, confirmed by pubertal hormonal levels, so that they have experienced some of their biological puberty.
Gender reassignment therapy, which commences with cross-sex hormone treatment, may be prescribed when adolescents reach the age of 16 and fulfill the same eligibility criteria as for puberty suppression, with the exception of the Tanner stage criterion. The clinic employs a diagnostic phase which usually takes between 6-12 months before commencing cross-sex hormone treatment. The irreversible step of gender reassignment surgery is not performed prior to the Netherlands’ legal age of adulthood, which is 18.
In other words, you can’t just show up at the Amsterdam clinic and say, “hey, my son plays with dolls and says he wants to be a girl, can we get this gender reassignment thing happening already?”
In 2011, researchers from the clinic published a paper describing how 140 of 196 consecutively referred adolescents between 2000 and 2008 were considered eligible for medical intervention. The paper reported on the first seventy of these patients (average age 13.6 years, range 11–17 years) who received puberty suppression treatment.
Psychological functioning and gender dysphoria were assessed twice: When attending the gender identity clinic before commencing puberty suppression hormones; and shortly before the start of cross-sex hormone treatment.
In 2014, the researchers published another paper that included 55 of the original participants who not only received puberty suppression, but also cross-sex hormones and then gender reassignment surgery.
The final assessment was, on average, 18 months after surgery (mean age, 20.7 years). By this point, psychological functioning as assessed by an array of assessment scales had improved steadily over time, resulting in rates of clinical problems indistinguishable from general population samples and quality of life, satisfaction with life, and subjective happiness comparable to same-age peers.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing. Of the fifteen original subjects with incomplete data, 1 was a transfemale who died after her vaginoplasty due to postsurgical necrotizing fasciitis, a nasty complication with a very high mortality rate.
Refusal or failure to return questionnaires, or dropping out of care were cited for another five subjects, so their fate remains unknown.
However, of the fifty-five subjects with complete data, "all young adults in this study were generally satisfied with their physical appearance and none regretted treatment."
Given the generally positive outcomes, the Amsterdam research led to extended diagnosis and counselling becoming the internationally recommended protocol prior to gender reassignment.
In interviews with Reuters, doctors and other staff at eighteen gender clinics across the US described their processes for evaluating patients. None, reported Reuters, described anything like the months-long assessments the Amsterdam specialists adopted in their research.
Dr Annelou de Vries, a specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry, was lead author of the 2011 and 2014 papers. She told Reuters that while she worries about the growing number of children awaiting treatment, the graver sin is moving too quickly when puberty blockers and hormones may not be appropriate.
Reuters interviewed parents of 39 minors who had sought gender-affirming care. Parents of 28 of those children said they felt pressured or rushed to proceed with treatment.
One 53-year-old mother in New Jersey described how, after an initial one-on-one consultation of little more than an hour, a psychiatrist said her 13-year old was a good candidate for puberty blockers. An endocrinologist recommended the same after talking with the family for a mere 15 minutes.
“I’m afraid what we’re getting are false positives and we’ve subjected them to irreversible physical changes,” said Dr Erica Anderson, a clinical psychologist who previously worked at the University of California San Francisco’s gender clinic. “These errors in judgment are fodder for the naysayers – the people who want to eradicate this care.”
Anderson, a transgender woman who still treats children with gender dysphoria in her private practice, resigned as president of WPATH’s US chapter last year after her public comments about “sloppy” care prompted the organization to issue a temporary moratorium on board members speaking to the press. Unsurprisingly, she’s not among the former WPATH presidents that feature on the recently appointed WHO ‘expert’ panel.
"In Europe," reports Reuters, "concern that too many children might be unnecessarily put at risk has prompted countries like Finland and Sweden that were early to embrace gender care for children to now limit access to care. The United Kingdom is shutting down its main clinic for children’s gender care and overhauling the system after an independent review found that some staff felt 'pressure to adopt an unquestioning affirmative approach.'”
The Suicide Card
Some gender-care professionals complain that suicide risk is too often used to pressure and even frighten parents into consenting to treatment.
“I think it’s irresponsible for clinicians to do that,” said Anderson. “As a clinical psychologist, I don’t do a suicide assessment by membership in a class. The level of risk varies tremendously across individuals.”
De Vries, the Dutch researcher, told Reuters there is no evidence “providing care immediately leads to a decline in self harm or would prevent suicide.”
Conclusion
Transgenderism is nothing new, but the aggressive GloboPedo push to steer adolescents towards hormonal treatments and gender reassignment surgeries with little-to-no screening and counselling is a recent development.
It is an approach that has zero scientific support, yet has gained traction due to an extensive propaganda campaign, one centered around unsubstantiated claims that a more measured approach leads to an increase in harms like suicide.
The real suicide risk comes when, later in life, these people who have had gender re-assignment come to terms with what they have had done to their bodies, and realize that they have completely blown the one life they were given.
Wish it was that simple… the wrong hormones are now circulating in the water you drink… hormone disruptors are in soaps, cosmetics,till receipts even have bpa and can alter the levels in men.. air fresheners .. plastics .. even in clothing…to wrap the food we eat…the cars we drive ..the devices we use.. telephones .. televisions all give off hormone disrupting chemicals every hormone disruptor alters your God given hormones.... they have been playing the gender game for a long time … it’s going to take years to correct even when we outlaw all the above…
