Manufacturing of products is down; gender manufacturing is up

We are being told to accept the manufacturing of genders as real, when changing genders is really impossible. The gender identity patients with their man-made, cosmetic masquerade have the lawmakers falling all over themselves passing laws for transgender civil rights.

They claim to be real men or real women. So why do they need to get treated as a special class of gender? Men and women are already protected by the civil rights laws. If the gender surgery truthfully makes them into the opposite gender, equal to their birth born brothers and sisters, they should not need special protection, right?

Since they claim to need special protection, something is radically wrong. They must not be real.

Whispering quietly, everyone can see they are not real and are nothing more than a cosmetic surgical fantasy draped in women's clothing and some hot lipstick.

In promoting the manufacturing of knock-off genders, advocates have done so well that no one dares to provide objective scientific proof a gender change is even possible. Anyone can change their birth record gender to a knock-off, using paperwork to somehow convince us they are real. That’s not working for me; I had the surgery and it’s not real at all. 

We make a big deal of knock-offs if it is a handbag or a watch, but genders? They get protection under “civil rights.” Are we just so excited about any new manufacturing in America that we celebrate even this fabrication? Perhaps yes.

I know telling the truth will get the blow back identifying me as someone who is intolerant or trans-phobic, but to stay silent would be bowing to “trans-phobia phobia.”

Yes, something is radically wrong, but it is not the civil rights laws. What’s tragic is letting a group of our fellow citizens suffering from gender identity issues and a high rate of suicide attempts to be pushed further into their delusion, rather than encouraging truly helpful medical solutions.

Let the advocates say it is about diversity and tolerance; I say, “Balderdash! Gender manufacturing is a fake.” 

Cross-dressers, Heads Up: Security Is Looking at You

More and more public and business bathrooms will be equipped with security cameras helping to prevent crime and abuses in public spaces including restrooms. Under the law there is no guarantee of privacy when a warning sign is posted, telling you the restroom has security cameras.

In United States v. Hill, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit held that under some circumstances, there is no continuing Fourth Amendment right to privacy in a public restroom.

This ruling is significant. It means that – contrary to most people's expectations – closing the door to a public bathroom does not necessarily entitle a person to freedom from governmental snooping.

With cross-dressers increasingly demanding access to women's restrooms you can be sure real women will fight back by demanding security cameras in women's restrooms. 

Cross-dressers, who represent far less than 1% of the US population, are apparently unaware how off-putting their behavior is to so many who make up the other 99% of the US population.

It is the advocates’ desire to force social acceptability of cross-dressers on the 99%. In my opinion, as a former cross-dresser, that could backfire and in some cases will place cross-dressers in greater jeopardy.

As the advocates prevail and new laws are enacted, in all likelihood, the result will be increased bullying, beatings and ridicule of cross-dressers because you cannot force the acceptability of behavior many feel is completely unacceptable.

That Female Is Packin'

Are we seeing the beginning of the end for gender surgery?

The issue for critics of gender change surgery is not homosexuality or dislike of transgenders, not at all. The issue is that the radical surgery is pushed as the first and best treatment, before adequate psychotherapy or evaluation is done. As a result, the surgery is routinely overused as a treatment for gender issues which cannot be resolved with surgery. And that leads to far too much pain, regret and suicide for those who should never have had the surgery. It is as simple as that.

 But now we’re seeing something that may change the landscape: states are passing new transgender laws that allow people to change the gender on birth records, without being required to have gender change surgery.

So you see—men may legally change the gender on their birth records and claim they are females. But do not look under the hood; the new females will be packing the full bounty of the male tackle box. 

What might the effects of the new laws be?

On the public.

Changing birth certificates without surgery, men appearing as females? Let’s face it.  Everyone understands they are not women. But cross-dressing men (who are now legally “women”) are granted access to shared public spaces, such as women’s restrooms and dressing rooms. I would guess that most women don’t want men in their restrooms.

On the gender surgery industry.

Could it actually happen?  Could we see a big drop in demand for the controversial surgery, which I myself have had, and which I found to be unnecessary? The laws seem to take away a major motivator for getting the surgery.

On those suffering from gender issues.

Maybe the elimination of the requirement for gender surgery to change one’s birth certificate will motivate people to “try out” the opposite gender for a longer time without irrevocably changing genitalia with surgery. Then when they later regret their choice, their body won’t be as mangled and they might be able to head back on a pathway to sanity.

What about those who struggle with depression, regret and suicide? Will this have a helpful or negative effect on them?

Does this lessen even further the incentive for anyone to undergo or even explore psychotherapy as a treatment for their gender issues, when a medical doctor can routinely authorize a birth gender to be changed in the courts without surgery?

On the advocates of surgery.

The advocates will have to rethink their position on surgery now that the courts don’t require it. The advocates, without any scientific proof, claim everyone who has the surgery is happy and they explain away any unhappiness as being the lack of social acceptance. I think the law diminishes the social acceptability, as more men dress as women, without surgery.

What's the answer?

We don't know. The new laws are another gender social experiment with unknown effects and unanswered questions. This new crop of females will be packing all the male tools. After 45 years, is this the end of gender surgery?

Transgender Suicide--Is Access to Bathrooms the Cure?

Transgenders do not evolve in the womb. The fact is: transgenders are the result of unfinished gender development in childhood and they remain in limbo. It’s estimated that 1% of our US population suffers psychologically from an unwanted gender identity issues that require extensive psychotherapy to treat.

Most everyone understands it is impossible to actually change genders. All the medical or surgical procedures that have been tried, up to and including today, are powerless to cause a change in gender. But the new laws being passed to enable transgenders to assume a female identity ignore the medical and scientific impossibility.

The unrealistic expectation of men becoming women, or women becoming men, has consequences, according to a comprehensive long-term Swedish study. The results are high mortality rates, elevated risks of depression, psychiatric illness and attempts to commit suicide.      

The Swedish study follows up on 324 post-operative transsexuals in Sweden from 1973 to 2003 and compares their outcomes to a control group. Unlike other studies that claim to follow up on transsexuals, this one is more credible because it spans more than 30 years and includes all the post-operative transgenders during the period. (Most other studies draw conclusions based on a small minority of patients because so many cannot be found, or the study only follows up for a short period of time, certainly not the 10 year average of the Swedish study.)

The conclusion of the study is--

Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.  Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.

To me, the evidence strongly suggests that transgenders need much more psychiatric care before and after surgery to alleviate depression and prevent suicide.  Obviously, the surgery is totally ineffective at resolving co-existing psychiatric disorders, which should be treated first before treating the gender identity issue.  Other studies have shown that a co-existing disorder may, in fact, cause gender identity symptoms. In those cases, when the co-existing disorder is treated, the gender identity symptoms go away.

So, in conclusion, transgenders do not need improved access to restrooms, or jobs, or more freedom and help to change gender; they need improved access to true, unbiased psychiatric care to lower their considerably higher risks for early death.

Couple rejects son’s male gender: social engineering or psychological abuse?

Have you seen the headlines this week?

It's a boy! And he's five. Beck Laxton, 46, and partner Kieran Cooper, 44,  have spent half the decade concealing the gender of their son, Sasha.

Beck says, "I wanted to avoid all that stereotyping" in an interview with the Cambridge News. "Stereotypes seem fundamentally stupid."  

So then, the couple thinks rejecting a boy's gender is brilliant, setting out to psychologically engineer a girly boy, even calling him "Sasha," a name not carved from the male domain. 

The two parents in this case apparently do not care about the long-term pain the boy will have from their rejection of his birth gender. For 5 years, during the most formative years of a child’s life, the parents reinforced rejection of their son’s male gender, in favor of influencing him toward their own agenda, conducting a social experiment on their own child.

My grandmother rejected my male gender and dressed me in female clothing while babysitting me at her house when I was 5 years old. I regretted how the dress-up by grandma destroyed my natural gender as my life became twisted up in pain. Later I went through the gender surgery to change genders. Thanks, Grandma. 

Is he their son or their social experiment? Might be considered psychological abuse.

It will be many years before this child will be able to accurately share his views about his parents’ actions.

Insanity: Einstein had it right

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Nothing provides a better example of insanity than that of advocates who push the idea that changing genders is the healthy choice for transgenders.

The federal government controls the type of oil used to pop our kid’s movie theater popcorn because our government wants to make sure kids are healthy. They have legislated for healthy food in schools so kids eat healthy and do not become little fatsos. The government will even prosecute parents who spank their kids, all in the touch-y-feel-y idea they are protecting kids from harm. But unbelievably, the government places no controls on gender treatments for kids, allowing them to be injected with hormone blockers so the little ones can change genders. At least the butter, popcorn and food eaten are now healthy; the hell with kids’ health when it comes to transgender suicide attempts.

Changing genders is unhealthy and we see how unhealthy it is in a survey released by none other than the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force in October, 2010.  

…our findings show a shockingly high rate of suicidality.  When asked “have you ever attempted suicide?” 41% of [more than 7,000 transgender] respondents answered yes.

Furthermore, they report that those who have medically transitioned and surgically transitioned have higher rates of attempted suicide than those who have not.

To me, these findings validate some undeniable truths:

1. Psychiatric disorders run rampant among the transgender population.
2. Hormones and surgery do not solve the underlying psychiatric problems.

But the advocates, lawmakers and media completely ignore the suicide attempt rate and just push for expanding the freedoms for transgenders, not expanding research efforts for effective treatment. 

This is not new information. Back in 2004, David Batty in the UK wrote in an article in the Society Guardian:

There is no conclusive evidence that sex change operations improve the lives of transsexuals, with many people remaining severely distressed and even suicidal after the operation, according to a medical review conducted exclusively for Guardian Weekend tomorrow.

The review of more than 100 international medical studies of post-operative transsexuals by the University of Birmingham's aggressive research intelligence facility (Arif) found no robust scientific evidence that gender reassignment surgery is clinically effective.

Just last year, 2011, a long-term follow-up study of sex reassignment surgery in Sweden concluded

Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behavior, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.

It is true—parents and doctors can help kids change their gender if they desire it, even when the research studies say it increases the likelihood of attempting suicide and has other ill effects.

Why do we turn a blind eye and silently allow our young kids to participate in life-changing experimental hormone treatments, while vigorously protecting them from buttered popcorn, school lunches and spankings?

That, my friends, is insanity.

Gender Surgery Not Medically Necessary says CA AB 433

The GLBT activists are at it again. 

For the last 40 years the GLBT activists have made the case that “sex change” surgery was a medical necessity for transgenders in order to align their bodies with the gender in their minds. The California legislature evidently agreed because the requirement for legally changing one’s gender on the birth certificate required proof of having had genital surgery. Must have all been B.S.

Now that the GLBT activists have government and insurance companies paying for the expensive gender surgery, they are changing their focus. Thanks to the same GLBT activists, California law no longer requires evidence of surgery to issue a new birth certificate announcing the person was born as the opposite gender. (California law AB 433, “The Vital Statistics Modernization Act”)

It’s true. As of January 1, 2012, if you want to change your gender on your original birth certificate in California, all you have to do is make a request in court with an affidavit from a physician saying that the person has undergone “clinically appropriate treatment for the purpose of gender transition.” Now we all know this will not be abused, ya think?

Do not doubt me here; this new law has one purpose:  to circumvent laws in California that stand in the way of same sex marriage. This sleight-of-hand legal maneuver by the GLBT activists can only be compared to the bold con man in the 1967 movie, The Flim-Flam Man, who makes his living cleverly tricking people to see as true things which are not.

I underwent the “gender change” surgery almost 30 years ago and regretted it for the past 20+ years. Twice I’ve petitioned the California court to reissue my birth certificate with the gender I was born as – male – and twice I’ve been told no.

Well, thanks to the new California law I will no longer be denied. I was born male, lived for the last 17 years as a man with a US Passport, driver’s license, and Social Security record as male.

Now, California, I have you where you cannot deny me my original birth record, ironically, thanks to the GLBT activists. 

 

 

Hormone Blockers--Criminal Experimentation

How psychologically sick or depraved does a doctor need to be to conduct experiments on young children when they do not know the long term effects?

By prescribing hormone blockers to delay puberty doctors are acting like Frankenstein as they use little kids for their experiments.

In Canada, TV host Michael Coren is a breath of fresh air, calling out the craziness of doctors, advocates and now the British Columbia teachers’ federation who want a gender-less society. Apparently teachers in Canada are giving up on teaching the science of DNA or even the simple truth about male and female bio-chemistry that actually forms our genders, in favor of some teaching to further a political agenda.

Three core truths which transgenders and advocates, and now some Canadian teachers, want you to ignore are:

1. In reality it is impossible for a person to change their sex. Our sex – male or female is written on every cell of our body.
   
   The sex change surgeons tell us it is impossible to change genders. Dr. George Burou, a gynecologist from Morocco and a surgeon who has performed over 700 SRS operations, admitted: “I don’t change men into women. I transform male genitals into genitals that have a female aspect. All the rest is in the patient’s mind.”
2. Transgenders are not formed in the womb–they are the result of psychological or psychiatric issues.
   
   Transgenders need a psychologist not hormone blockers. 75% of transgenders suffer from psychological disorders, such as schizophrenia, personality, mood, dissociative, and psychotic disorders, a Dutch study shows.(“Psychiatric Comorbidity of Gender Identity Disorders: A Survey Among Dutch Psychiatrists”)
   
   I know this is true, I was one of the children who wanted to become the other gender, yet all the hormones in the world, freedom of gender expression and even the gender surgery did not resolve my dissociative disorder. That took a psychologist to help me resolve.
3. The use of hormone blockers is criminal, psychological abuse of children, not a medical procedure.
   
   Suppressing puberty with a view to sex-change surgery, when no one knows the side effects, I and others feel constitutes human experimentation. Dale O’Leary writes:
   
   "Starting treatment at age 11 presents many problems. Is a child of that age able to give truly informed consent to the risks involved in numerous surgeries required, to the burden of life-long hormone treatments needed to sustain the illusion of the other sex, and to the permanent loss of the ability to have children?
   
   "Puberty does not just change the sexual organs; it also affects brain development, bone and muscle development. No one knows all the potential side effects of administering puberty-delaying hormones on children; it constitutes human experimentation. "(MercatorNet.com, “Suppressing puberty with a view to sex-change surgery”, 2 February 2009)

Read more of the writings of Dale O'Leary. They are profound, accurate and very well done.

So many different issues drive the transgender to surgery

We know it is impossible to objectively change from one gender to another. So what must we then consider as the cause of the gender masqueraders wanting to undergo radical surgery?

A recent Swedish study reports that having gender surgery increases suicide attempts and lowers the quality of life. It also points to increased occurrence of psychiatric issues and depression after sex change surgery. This research allows us to claim that changing genders is frequently more folly than effective treatment for the wide range of gender issues that do exist.

Transgenders suffer from psychiatric issues ranging from dissociative disorders, separation anxiety to full blown delusional disorders. I don’t fault the individuals who suffer and eventually request the life changing surgery. In my view, the responsibility lies with the surgeons and approving psychologists, unqualified and unfit, who do not care about the long-term results of changing genders. The approving psychologists in too many cases are more about giving the wanna-be transgender anything he or she wants, than in providing effective diagnosis and treatment for real psychiatric disorders.

The current state of treatment, my fellow transgenders, isn’t working unless you think suicide attempts, depression and psychiatric disorders are a good thing.

Changing genders is a self-destructive process at its core. When you don’t like your birth gender, you claim you’re a different person than the one you see in the mirror, and you are always looking for positive external feedback for the imposter. But affirming the change only expands the disorder. Unfortunately this is occurring with kids, too, who are being affirmed by parents to change genders and some whacked doctors who “help.”

So many transgenders would benefit from:

• affirming themselves as they are
• giving themselves love, care, trust, and respect
• realizing they are already in possession of wonderful qualities, characteristics, and values that are far more fulfilling than surgery will ever be
• learning they can be happy just as they are

I understand transgenders are driven by strong feelings to change who they are, and they look around and see post-surgery transsexuals who seem happy. But what they are seeing is a snapshot, not the long term picture. Look closer and over a longer period of time and you’ll realize that many are not healthy or as happy as it appears.

It may seem weird to admit this but looking back, for me, wanting to be something different from what I was, was a big mistake. At the time, I did find it difficult to accept myself as a boy and easier to fantasize about leaving the boy behind and take steps to change my gender.

Now that I have returned back to male, I have discovered changing genders is all a big fraud. Surgery was never necessary for happiness.

WikiLeaks Secret Documents, a Gay Cross-Dressing Manning and Julian Assange

The biggest threat to national security seems to be the nonsense of tolerance, diversity and political correctness.

Tolerance and political correctness got 13 solders murdered at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009. Because the perpetrator was Muslim, his dangerous demeanor in prior months was downplayed. Now, gay diversity and political correctness have led to perhaps the biggest breach of secure documents in U.S. history.  Psychologically unstable PFC Bradley Manning was permitted to keep his security clearance and access to highly classified secret information, even in the face of an overabundance of troubling behavior. Because he is a cross-dresser, he was given a “pass.”

The Army had complete knowledge that PFC Manning demonstrated unstable and bizarre behaviors that made him unfit for such a high security clearance. But the Army, I feel, because of a policy of gay diversity and tolerance, along with political correctness, looked the other way. As a result, the psychologically unstable Manning released a multitude of secure documents to Julian Assange at WikiLeaks.  

What the Army knew about Manning—the events were like a 50 foot neon sign on Main Street:

• Manning was once reprimanded for breaching the rules in the proper handling of classified information.
     
• Manning was a cross-dresser with gender identity issues. His superior, Master Sgt. Paul Adkins, knew because Manning sent him an email with a picture of him dressed as a woman. Manning wrote that he was suffering from Gender Identity Disorder and it was affecting his ability do his job, interact with others and even think.  Master Sgt. Atkins did not share the email until after Manning’s arrest.
• Manning came unglued during a counseling session, flipped over a table, damaged a government computer and had to be restrained in Baghdad in 2009. Master Sgt. Atkins knew about it, but it was not documented. Under cross-examination in Manning’s hearing, it was acknowledged that if this incident had been reported, it would have resulted in a derogatory report and possible loss of Manning’s security clearance.
• According to Army investigator Troy Bettencourt, the chain of command knew Manning was gay (this was during the days of the “Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell” policy) and that he had been punished for assaulting a supervisor.

Why was Manning’s behavior covered up by his superiors? His email clearly points to a deeply troubled solder that was not fit to perform his duties. Could it be due to tolerance and diversity?

It reminds me of the three monkeys See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Speak No Evil.  Everyone in a position to stop Manning knew about his unstable behavior, but all were sitting with their hands over their eyes, ears, and mouths.  Why?

I recently listened to a guy use the phrase “homophobia phobia” and I did not understand it until now. It describes the fear (phobia) of being labeled homophobic if one says anything that can be construed to be negative about homosexuals.  I think the drum beating for tolerance and diversity fosters “homophobia phobia.” We see the results in the case of PFC Bradley Manning where national security was compromised.

Fort Hood and WikiLeaks flourished because of the same fundamental issue: fear of speaking out against anyone belonging to a “special group” in this era of tolerance, diversity and political correctness.  

How’s that working for us?
