Good but would you consider refraining from using language which spreads lies such as "transitioning genders"? There is no such thing as "transitioning genders." (I had the chance in family court once to say to a judge "There's no such thing as changing gender" after he used that phrase.)
And IMO the word "gender" generally should be avoided at this point - it's been used so effectively to cause confusion. I don't use it in any of the ways I'm told to use it. I may use it to name the agenda, like I might say "gender" to refer to "the cult of gender."
Agreed. People on the Right too easily slip inadvertently into using the Left's tendentious mind-bending language. In my view the words 'sexually dysphoric', 'homosexual' and 'lesbian' cover all unusual kinds of sexuality. We don't need "transitioning"....we don't need "LGBTXYZ", we don't need "XYZphobia", we don't need "cis".... and, in my view, we don't even need "gay" and "straight".
absolutely, when we say "mutilate the healthy sex organs of mentally ill children, which the democrat vermin call "transgender care" (similar to nazis calling the extermination of jews the "final solution" or rabid islam is the "religion of peace") make sure to mention those are the rabid words the democrat rodents use.
How dare you call abused children "mentally ill." They have been gaslit and psychologically tortured by those who are supposed to protect them. Labeling them "mentally ill" is vicious cruelty.
Agree, there is no such thing as transitioning to another sex or gender. There are just people with a delusion and the handlers or groomers that push them to it.
I don't believe delusion is accurate. In adult men it's a fetish, in adult women it's the effects of misogyny in society, and in children it's the result of profound abuse, ie, being lied to and yes, groomed into a false, incoherent belief system.
I believe everyone knows what sex they are. If they claim to genuinely believe they are the other sex, they are lying.
I think this is just part of the false narrative that's on offer for the benefit of male fetishists, to launder their fetish into a human rights issue by making them seem sympathetic and victim-ish. "The poor man is deluded, he should get what he wants." No, sorry. At this point with how far it's gotten, I assume a man claiming to really believe he's a woman is just working the system. He's saying that to get what he wants.
In short, there's no reason to believe a man's self-report regarding his own beliefs or feelings when there are incentives for him to lie about those things (he gets sympathy and victim status while criming against women.) There's no reason to believe him and every reason to disbelieve him.
I submit these pestilent vermin are rabid, not delusional. As a psych nurse, I have taken care of a lot of delusional people. None were as evil, as these rabid democrats are today.
granted I got the hell away from those crazy fucking nurses, , they made it hard to take care of the diagnosed mentally patients.
Cardiology was much better.
The jail and prison nursing gave me a lot of experience to deal with rabid democrat vermin, so that was handy. And man, we have a few rabid democrats that post here. Just a few. So easy to spot.
sorry, the rabid activist folks that believe they are the opposite sex have no inclusion in reality, and the idiots that buy into that rabid belief support that evil.
The mentally ill folks I worked with knew they were not the opposite sex, they just liked pretending to be the opposite sex, and man, that little "dude" was a hard worker, so I did not care if she had a fantasy, since she did not require me to participate in her fantasy.
Well, I worked as a nurse for years actually caring for crazy folks, as opposed to the shrinks that were shit for brains and routinely made their patients more dependent on them.
Kind of like a butcher chopping up a young mentally ill child, so that they have years of desperate need the butchers can keep "fixing" for years.
"Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is demanding action following the release of a video in which a doctor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center is seen bragging about moneymaking transgender surgeries."
and yes, you can find that rabid little cunts video., still online,
So yea, rabid vermin just like to chop up mentally ill children and makes lots of money doing that.
And man, you remind me of those shrinks I used to hate working with. These rabid rodents also said, "what is your degree"
That would be the degree that does NOT allow one that to feel good about butchering children.
It's not a delusion. In adult men it's a fetish, in adult women it's the effects of misogyny in society, and in children it's the result of profound abuse, ie, being lied to and yes, groomed into a false, incoherent belief system.
Good point. Another example of language being manipulated by the pro- (fill in the blank) advocacy groups. How about consistently inserting “artificial” or “artificially” in the mix? Or make-believe, fake, phony, diabolical, etc.
"Transgenderism" is not real. The word "transgender" was invented to rebrand the cross-dressing fetish of adult men, formerly known as transsexualism or transvestism. As technology and pharmaceutical science advanced, the fetish for wearing female clothing escalated into owning female biology. To hide the sexual motives behind cross-dressing fetishism, a religious ideology in which one could be born in the wrong body formed. This ideology was then marketed to the youth for profit.
Christopher you are a true champion thank you on behalf of those victims of all that falls under the Marxist Critical Theory banner. I first learnt of your work following another visionary Mathew Goodwin and his interview with you. I immediately purchased your book “America’s Cultural Revolution”, the darkness lifted. Jordon Peterson says, don’t try and change the world, put your bedroom in order. This is what you do, you target those evil manifestations of Critical Theory and expose them for what they are and for which we can all agreed. Don’t try and change a world that is the subject of mass brainwashing (Disney) that now targets the children you are now trying to protect. Thank you Christopher and to those reading these comments I beseech you to order you copy of Americas Cultural Revolution. It’s detailed, historical, factorial and will equip you with a unique weapon, in this war of cultures …. understanding
Agree with you about Christopher Rufo’s book! He goes into detail about such people as Paolo Freire, Angela Davis, Peter Marcuse and black panther movement members whose names I just generally knew, but whose actual ideas and actions I did not and, my god, do the roots of destruction go deep. Rufo’s section on Paolo Freire was so disturbing - the way he was allowed into the education system in the US.
Structural Marxism embedded and taught in universities has now leached into elite professions, from Doctor, Lawyers, Judiciary, Legislatures, are all victims of incubated Critical Theory, training students to believe that racism, BLM, global warming, Israel, transphobia, Islamophobia all equals “power structures”. All whites, jews, 1st world are dominant, racists, a settler-colonialist state and therefore illegitimate” and targets for destruction, wealth reparation’s.
Went to see a Doc yesterday. First time since 2018. Had to fill out "new patient" paper work (been w/ him since 1997). The ?s asked, both in paper work and in person were extremely personal. What a Doc never would have asked in 2018. I wrote and stated "None your damn business". I hate doc's.
Yes in many cases murderers and rapists but heralded by mainstream America as heroes and heroines. Some went on to populate mainstream academia and project their cancer through the minds of the young of the 60’s, 70’s and onward. These new elites now populate our ruling classes in the guise of the woke legislature, executive and judiciary. A cabal that often breaches the constitutional doctrine of the “Separate of Powers”.
You would be very interested probably in James Lindsay's work, tying all of this to Marxist Color Revolution tactics as well. He's the one who really opened my eyes.
I know this is a "social contagion" and I also know I fully and strenunously oppose it! Madness. Exposing the "business of child mutilation" is the most honorable thing any of us could do!
This is great the Manhattan Institute undertook this, it would be great if we could do a national one specifically public school parents of K-12, to gauge their views to help shape policy against transgender medicine and surgery.
Yet, I think of my wife’s cousin who grew up in the same two-family house. The kid was a hermaphrodite, always acted the way girls act, played with girls, and had the “ operation” when she was around 20. ( 50 years ago). Most of the trans people are “ victims” of psychological manipulation, but she was the exception. The real problem is the exploitation of troubled kids with the promise of nirvana. Nirvana is not of this earth.
"one of my wife's cousin's" . How do you know the kid was a hermaphrodite? Did you see the kid naked at some point 50 years ago? You are making a lot of statements that do not add up.
That was the description given by my wife when I met her cousin. Had never heard the term before. I never saw her naked before or after but even before her operation, she was a girl. And you would have thought so too. Did I see operative notes and pathology reports? No
It wasn’t a political matter , simple fact of life. BTW, the surgery did not change her mental state, employment status , or visible physical appearance. She always looked and acted like a girl. Walked around with “ facial creams “ and the towel around her head inside
It is important to drive home the fact that no one can distinguish between the majority of kids who present with gender dysphoria that grow out of it with time, and the minority of kids that don’t grow out of it. Stressing that many of these kids are gay is another crucial fact. Therefore to “ gender affirm” children is wrong and immoral medically and otherwise.
Many of them are gay, and almost all come from dysfunctional homes. I think there's a huge Transhausen by Proxy thing going on too, where the parents of these "transed" kids are given huge social reward, which is grotesque.
I cannot understand the following - 1- how when an explosion of kids with GD( majority girls);started presenting in the early 2012-2013there was little to no “ let’s try to understand what’s causing this new phenomenon( girls until them were unheard of and the numbers increasing dramatically)
Then instead of academic doctors going to their IRBs( institutional review boards)of their hospitals to test interventions in randomized controlled studies on the most distraught kids, it was full steam ahead, open hundreds of pediatric gender clinics all over the country and lets sterilize all of them with experimental interventions, and lie and say “ we have data”
It violated every norm , standard and guardrail of medicine
The medical profession has been taken over by WOKEQueer DEI and it bears no resemblance to what it once was. This is the most egregious example but there are many others
Obama snuck “ trans care” into ACA which opened the money floodgates and incentivized this horror. It was carefully planned by trans cult activists
I believe this is true. Especially in afluent areas. My SIL lived in a rather well-off area and told me that many of her kids’ parents seemed to hope for their child in the alphabet group.
I saw some lady yesterday with a viral IG reel about how her 2 year old daughter wanted “short hair like daddy” and how she took her to the hair cutting place and gave her a boy hair cut. Anyone who questioned it was told to suck it up. I suspect this mom is secretly hoping this is a sign that her daughter will be majorly non confirming, trans, or a raging feminist. People forget that a sign of secure attachment at 2-4 is a desire to have likeness to a primary caregiver. So many of these supposed “trans” and “gender non conforming” toddlers and preschoolers are simply desiring to be like their parents. Not change gender.
Huge disappointment reading the lingo here. I already dropped one substack that continued to use the trans lingua. It's an assault on my hardened, feminist brain. There's mutilating, experimental drugs and procedures on children and adults (aka cosmetic surgery), but there's no such surgery that will change one's sex. The sex is the sex is the sex. There's no such thing as a trans/woman but there are males in drag.
As they say, "Don't Mess With Texas!" I'm glad to hear a majority recognize that children cannot consent to treatments they do not understand, to treatments that are irreversible, to medications and surgical interventions causing infertility, anorgasmia, bone and neurological problems, to say the least. You need do no research--not even Wikipedia--to understand that a drug stopping puberty is extremely powerful. Assertions on the Wikipedia page for puberty blockers that these are "reversible" should be re-written by a physician who has a soul. Take a look at YouTube videos of Jazz Jennings' genital surgeries. Do read studies from the 1980s showing that gender non-conforming children usually relinquish their desire to change their sex at puberty--many of these children are gay.
The brain is not fully developed until age 25. I think that is the earliest anyone ought to be allowed to consider medical transitioning. And after plenty of counseling--not random affirmation.
I note that the majority of respondents who are opposed to gender affirming care appear in this survey to be either republican and/or Trump voters. Meanwhile, the democrats and Biden voters appear to be more favorable, relatively speaking. As in so many matters, we are divided, deeply.

Very mild language used here, like 'a majority of Texans feel'. In fact, this issue is crystal clear. Delusion affirming drugs and procedures have side effects much less desirable to the development of minors than alcohol and there is absolutely no way in which minors can provide informed consent. These procedures are puremalpractices and need to be banned altogether.
My hats off to Darian, Mary Rose, and Graham but, wording aside, thank you Chris for being a part of the "the emperor has no cloths," crowd. My conclusions from the survey are threefold; that the left-wing propaganda machine is able to inflict mental damage and confusion on the public (which is sad) -- to the point that as much as 10% of the public think sex can be changed. Almost unbelievable! Second, that the left-wing propaganda machine does indeed represent a small minority with power enough to inflict this kind of mental damage. And third that, as a small minority, we can succeed in targeted these bad guys and deny them power. The key is removing these types from society's levers. I believe exposing this minority, with help from great people like Chis, is an awesome first step. Also, due to that, we see the second step, taking away their power - without injuring ourselves in the process - is in-fact beginning to find success. We need to back all sensible ways to purge these clowns from society which, IMHO, is about pushing the American dream, healthy living, and bringing power back to the people (anti-centralism), whether that be business, government, education, or media.
Pretty interesting that these results jibe with the well-known statistic about 10% of the public being authoritarian-minded and wants to do whatever authorities tell them even up to the most horrific acts, as has happened during genocides the world over. It's that 10% who think because a few loud mouth doctors and Big Pharma-funded physicians and "scientists" say it's good to mutilate and ruin your child, sure, go ahead and do it. Common sense is absent in these people, or they have a psychotic streak. Not sure which (maybe both).
The medical industrial complex don’t protect nor cure the people they’re supposed to protect. Sick people equals wealth….plain and simple. So drug companies and many doctors (not all of course) are only interested in milking the cash cow that is your illness. So is it a surprise to find corrupt doctors willing to scar a child permanently, irreversibly, in such a sick way?! It’s a money making scheme and it’s something that democrats and Rino politicians have their fingerprints all over! No ethics, principles, nor morality! Money is everything to these low life pieces of crap. A child’s innocence and ability to choose soberly , as an adult what gender they want means shit to these rotten assholes! Usually, if you carefully follow the money trail and look past the thinly sold ideology behind it, the intentions of these people are clear! If they won’t have mercy on unborn children, why would these shit bricks care about brainwashing your kid into being a pervert and demonize and bully you if you don’t let them! If you’re a parent, hang your head in disgrace if you believe these animals! You’re committing child abuse confusing your child with this nonsense, leftist crap! Have a pleasant day 😎

Yes, it's sad. This should be a universal.
It wouldn’t make any difference if the majority of people thought Trans was a good thing.
200 years ago the majority of people thought slavery was a good thing.
Today, apparently, the majority of people think that killing babies is a good thing.
Majority doesn’t mean Right. That’s why we have a judicial branch of the government.
Very mild language used here, like 'a majority of Texans feel'. In fact, this issue is crystal clear. Delusion affirming drugs and procedures have side effects much less desirable to the development of minors than alcohol and there is absolutely no way in which minors can provide informed consent.

Common sense is absent in these people, or they have a psychotic streak. Not sure which (maybe both).
Almost as gullible as believing anything Trump says.
The medical industrial complex don’t protect nor cure the people they’re supposed to protect. Sick people equals wealth….plain and simple. So drug companies and many doctors (not all of course) are only interested in milking the cash cow that is your illness. So is it a surprise to find corrupt doctors willing to scar a child permanently, irreversibly, in such a sick way?! It’s a money making scheme and it’s something that democrats and Rino politicians have their fingerprints all over! No ethics, principles, nor morality! Money is everything to these low life pieces of crap. A child’s innocence and ability to choose soberly , as an adult what gender they want means shit to these rotten assholes! Usually, if you carefully follow the money trail and look past the thinly sold ideology behind it, the intentions of these people are clear! If they won’t have mercy on unborn children, why would these shit bricks care about brainwashing your kid into being a pervert and demonize and bully you if you don’t let them! If you’re a parent, hang your head in disgrace if you believe these animals! You’re committing child abuse confusing your child with this nonsense, leftist crap! Have a pleasant day 😎
Tranhausen by proxy is just the latest rabid thing the leftist cult bitches like to do to mutilate children
