But, hey, let's ignore this, too, and ignore every other mental illness
sweeping society
because we can say a little prayer and God will take care of it and none of us
have any responsibility for dealing with such madness because we are all
libertarians anyway and the market will sort it all out.
In other words, this is tragic and nobody who should care instead is too
wrapped up
in making money to make the least effort to do so. especially when "opinion
leaders"
are also part of the problems, supporting LGBTQ.
Which is to say that on social issues much of Christianity is an abysmal
failure.

Mental Health Movement Behind Kids Going Tranny
A new survey by the Centers for Disease Control says 1.8% of kids in grades 9
through 12 ARE transsexual and another 1.6% aren’t for sure! Transsexualism is
growing by leaps and bounds. It’s making the Wall Street Journal (1/6/19), so
even the elite are losing their children to this madness. Consider Abigail
Shrier’s lament:
A … prominent Southern lawyer’s …daughter had always been a “girly girl” and
intellectually precocious, but had struggled with anxiety and depression. She
liked boys and had boyfriends in high school… [She] went off to college—which
began, as it often does these days, with an invitation to state her name,
sexual orientation and “pronouns.”
When her anxiety flared during her first semester, she and several of her
friends decided their angst had a fashionable cause: “gender dysphoria.” Within
a year, [she] had begun a course of testosterone. … A shaved head, boys’
clothes and a new name formed the baptismal waters of a female-to-male rebirth.
[This] “rapid onset gender dysphoria [ROGD] … is a social contagion that comes
on suddenly in adolescence, afflicting teens who’d never exhibited any
confusion about their sex. Like other social contagions, such as cutting and
bulimia, ROGD overwhelmingly afflicts girls. But unlike other conditions, this
one…gets full support from the medical community. The standard for dealing with
teens who assert they are transgender is “affirmative care”—immediately
granting the patient’s stated identity. …. Planned Parenthood furnishes
testosterone to young women on an “informed consent” basis, without requiring
any psychological evaluation. Student health plans at 86 colleges—including
those of nearly every Ivy League school—cover not only cross-sex hormones but
surgery as well.”
For those of you who felt LGBTism was benign, think again. With encouragement
by the mental health professions and the media, homosexuality has at least
tripled among teenagers in the last 3 decades, while transsexualism has
exploded. An article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (1/21/19)
estimated that 50 years ago its prevalence in men was between 4-14/10,000; for
women 2 or 3/10,000. Assuming the CDC is about correct it is now 180/10,000 or
13X-50X more and growing!
Notice that the best schools – including the Ivy League – have adopted mental
healthism’s philosophy as ‘absolute truth.’ Indeed, youth is being mutilated
and neutered for life on the basis of its beliefs and ‘wise’ practitioners.
Back to the WSJ article:
“I spoke with 18 parents…—all articulate, intellectual, educated and feminist.
They burst with pride in daughters who, until the ROGD spell hit, were highly
accomplished, usually bound for top universities. … [Now they] are terrified
their daughters will discover the depth of their dissent and cut them off. …
Nearly every force in society is aligned against these parents: Churches
scramble to rewrite their liturgies for greater “inclusiveness.” Therapists and
psychiatrists undermine parental authority with immediate affirmation of teens’
self-diagnoses. Campus counselors happily refer students to clinics that
dispense hormones on the first visit. Laws against “conversion therapy,” …are
on the books in 14 states and the District of Columbia [protecting against]
“efforts to change a patient’s . . . gender identity.”
Silicon Valley joins in this promotion of the mental health philosophy of life:
“Reddit, Tumblr, Instagram and YouTube host an endless supply of mentors, who
cheerfully document their own physical transitions, omitting mention of
dangerous side effects and offering tips on how to pass as a man and how to
break away from unsupportive parents. … Brie Jontry, … tells me ROGD teens
often come from politically progressive families. Many of the mothers I spoke
with say they enthusiastically supported same-sex marriage long before it was
legal anywhere. Some of them describe welcoming the news when their daughters
came out as lesbians. But when their daughters suddenly decided that they were
actually men and started clamoring for hormones and surgery, the mothers begged
them to reconsider, or at least slow down.
“If your kid went off and joined the Moonies, people would feel sorry for you,
and they would understand that this is a bad thing and that your kid shouldn’t
be in the Moonies,” one mother, a former leader of the pro-gay organization
Pflag, said. “With this, I can’t even tell anybody. I talk to my husband,
that’s it.” The couple have faithfully covered their daughter’s tuition,
health-care and cellphone bills—even though she refuses to speak to them.” [you
get what you pay for].
A wife commented: “I have a friend whose daughter wanted to be gender neutral.
She did not want to identify with either sex. She went to a top hospital in
NYC who agreed with her self-diagnosis. … she underwent breast removal and
several other organs…. She still keeps her female name. …Today, I feel she is
one mixed up woman. She lives in an apt. that her parents pay for, but she
does not have a job. Before all this, she had a good job. I feel her parents
approved of the whole thing, because they wanted their daughter to be happy.”
Official guidance in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (Bonifacio, et
al, Management of gender dysphoria in adolescents in primary care 1/21/2019
echoes the above with:
“the consensus in the medical community in the 1960s and 1970s was to view
gender variance through a disease model in which associated behaviours,
expression and declared identity were deemed pathological and in need of
correction, the current approach is an affirming one that does not view gender
variance as pathological. …. Ideally, the approach to youth with gender
dysphoria revolves around collaborative decision-making among the youth, family
or guardians, and care providers. The youth’s voice is always paramount.”
IF you believe that ‘children know best’ because they haven’t been as
contaminated by society (a Russeauian fantasy), this makes modern sense. On the
other hand, if you think children know so little it takes training (and hard
discipline) to get them ready to make their own decisions (the traditional
viewpoint), this is nuts since you are giving weight to kid’s whims on a
decision that will impact them for the rest of their lives.
Once ‘fixed’ these kids can’t be natural parents, they will crimp their choices
for a mate (or even for sex), and they will always be ‘odd.’ Further, FRI’s
limited research in San Francisco obituaries suggests they will live shorter
lives (even shorter than LGBs). Plus, all the evidence from the CDC suggests
they either are or will become part of a group that disproportionately has
early sex, abuses drugs, attempts suicide more frequently, is unhappy, and is
generally rebellious.
In the ‘bad old days,’ before mental healthism had such a purchase on public
policy, the US had plenty of children, knew almost nothing about its
homosexuals and barely heard about folk who were ‘trapped in the wrong-sex
body.’ Today all of LGBTs are growing fast. Many parents are ‘proud’ to have
gay children, school districts are protecting (and promoting) deviants – and we
are running out of kids!
Madness has swept our society – indeed, all of the West. Not content to go nuts
themselves our leaders are trying to foist LGBTism in the United Nations and
especially want to get Africa ‘accepting.’ Our taxes are being used to impose
this madness across the globe!
The CDC is pushing transgenderism too. Consider its graphic for the January 25,
2019 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Increasingly its public health
reporting is admixed with mental healthism philosophy.

The mental health professions are staffed with high proportions of LGBTs and
their philosophy is not only anti-natal (pro-abortion, homosexuality, and
transgenderism – all of which diminish, if not eliminate the birth of children)
are ‘human rights’) but mindlessly egalitarian (homosexuality =
heterosexuality; children’ mentality = adults’; men = women [and conventional
masculinity is ‘toxic’], etc. as though the Declaration of Independence
proclaimed ‘all men [e.g., ought to be] equal’ instead of ‘all men are created
equal’ (which is ambiguous as to their current or desirable degree of equality,
to be sure, but does not demand society achieve complete equality of sexes,
sexual preferences, races, etc.); anti-religious (we have the wisdom, not some
fakes claiming to represent ‘God’); and maintain that talking to its members
[who can foretell the future behavior of clients, know what their clients ought
to do to solve their problems, know what society ought to do, etc., is
‘therapeutic’ and without their presence offering ‘counseling’ children and
adults suffering a trauma {as a school shooting or school suicide}, will be
‘less mentally healthy’]. Its’ philosophy is not only inimical to sound social
functioning; but also partially behind the rise in unhappiness and suicides. It
is certainly involved in the dramatic increase in LGBTs among youth.
(please see the attached copy of the article, email will not support the

Homosexuality and transsexualism have been ‘normalized,’ protected and
popularized – particularly to children in kindergarten through college.
Currently, about 2% of high school kids tell researchers they are transsexual
and about 10% claim gay/bisexuality. This in a society with a falling birthrate
(the US has a 1.87 Total Fertility Rate)! Children who get operated on (and at
times, even when given hormones) for ‘transition to the opposite sex,’ get
permanently sterilized. FRI’s research indicates the TFR of gays/bisexuals is
about 0.6 – far below the 2.1 ‘stay even’ point.
LGBs were empirically indexed as more criminal, drug using, disease-getting,
and child molesting in the 1960s and 70s. They exhibited the same excess
disruptiveness in the 2000s – thus, the flood of new, young LGBTers didn’t
‘dilute’ the disruptive LGBT subculture. Instead, its disruptiveness rubbed off
on them. If youth continue to be converted to LGBTism at the current pace, your
future will darken as policing and medical costs expand and wind howls through
the quiet school yards.
