1. Transsexuality is Abnormal
Gender Identity Disorder and Schizophrenia: Neurodevelopmental Disorders with Common Causal Mechanisms?
Beginning with the observation that the comorbidity of schizophrenia and GID/GD is greater than would be expected, it is seen that patients with either condition may exhibit symptoms or traits of the other. Several converging lines of evidence, involving cerebral sexual dimorphism, laterality, prenatal infection, and childhood adversity, suggest that both these disorders have their roots in abnormal brain development and that their overlap may be explained by shared risk factors (such as Toxoplasma infection) or mechanisms (such as abnormal lateralization and sexual brain differentiation) via common biochemical pathways, such as prenatal hormonal imbalances or reduced BDNF expression and release.
The available evidence, though limited, suggests that both gender identity disorder and schizophrenia are neurodevelopmental disorders and that they may share common causal mechanisms and risk factors.
Mothers of boys with gender identity disorder: a comparison of matched controls
This pilot study compared mothers of boys with gender identity disorder (GID) with mothers of normal boys to determine whether differences in psychopathology and child-rearing attitudes and practices could be identified. Results of the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines and the Beck Depression Inventory revealed that mothers of boys with GID had more symptoms of depression and more often met the criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder than the controls. Fifty-three percent of the mothers of boys with GID compared with only 6% of controls met the diagnosis for Borderline Personality Disorder on the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines or had symptoms of depression on the Beck Depression Inventory.
Comorbidity of Asperger syndrome and gender identity disorder
The adaptation of the male gender identity, from early life on, possibly enabled the patient to better integrate the lack of emotionality and the accentuated logical-abstract abilities. The extremely high level of masculinity can be interpreted as an additional compensatory effort to accentuate the biologically absent male side.
Taking this into account, we believe that, over the years, our patient has developed GID as a consequence of adopting male emotional and cognitive traits due to AS. Following this argument, GID in this patient could be regarded as a sequel to AS.
Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation, and Eating-Related Pathology in a National Sample of College Students
Prevalence rates and adjusted ORs for self-reported eating disorder (SR-ED) diagnosis and past-month use of diet pills and vomiting or laxative use by sexual orientation and gender identity are shown in Table 2. The prevalence of all three outcomes was highest among transgender students and lowest among cisgender heterosexual male students.
After adjusting for covariates, transgender students had significantly greater odds of past-year ED diagnosis, past-month diet pill use, and past-month vomiting or laxative use compared to cisgender heterosexual women.
New MRI Studies Support the Blanchard Typology of Male-to-Female Transsexualism
For example, homosexual male-to-female transsexuals are sexually attracted to natal males, express greater interest in female-typical activities (even in childhood), and are naturally effeminate in mannerism. In contrast, heterosexual male-to-female transsexuals are indistinguishable from nontranssexual natal males on these variables. The heterosexual transsexuals are still distinct from typical males in other ways, however, such as by manifesting “autogynephilia”—the erotic interest in or sexual arousal in response to being or seeming female.
Long-Term Follow-Up of Transsexual Persons Undergoing Sex Reassignment Surgery: Cohort Study in Sweden
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.
Parent reports of adolescents and young adults perceived to show signs of a rapid onset of gender dysphoria
Several AYAs expressed significant concern about the potential repercussions from their friend group when they concluded that they were not transgender after all. There were two unrelated cases with similar trajectories where the AYAs spent some significant time in a different setting, away from their usual friend group, without access to the internet. Parents described that these AYAs made new friendships, became romantically involved with another person, and during their time away concluded that they were not transgender. In both cases, the adolescents, rather than face their school friends, asked to move and transfer to different high schools. One parent said that their child, “...couldn’t face the stigma of going back to school and being branded as a fake or phony. ...Or worse, a traitor or some kind of betrayer... [and] asked us if we could move.” In the other case, the parent relayed that their child thought none of the original friends would understand and expressed a strong desire to “...get out of the culture that ‘if you are cis, then you are bad or oppressive or clueless.’” Both families were able to relocate and both respondents reported that their teens have thrived in their new environments and new schools. One respondent described that their child expressed relief that medical transition was never started and felt there would have been pressure to move forward had the family not moved away from the peer group.
There were 256 parent-completed surveys that met study criteria. The adolescent and young adult (AYA) children described were predominantly female sex at birth (82.8%) with a mean age of 16.4 years. Forty-one percent of the AYAs had expressed a non-heterosexual sexual orientation before identifying as transgender. Many (62.5%) of the AYAs had been diagnosed with at least one mental health disorder or neurodevelopmental disability prior to the onset of their gender dysphoria (range of the number of pre-existing diagnoses 0–7). In 36.8% of the friendship groups described, the majority of the members became transgender-identified.
The most likely outcomes were that AYA mental well-being and parent-child relationships became worse since AYAs “came out”. AYAs expressed a range of behaviors that included: expressing distrust of non-transgender people (22.7%); stopping spending time with non-transgender friends (25.0%); trying to isolate themselves from their families (49.4%), and only trusting information about gender dysphoria from transgender sources (46.6%).
Being safe, Being me: Results of the Canadian Trans Youth Health Survey
More than half the youth reported they had hurt themselves on purpose without wanting to die in the last 12 months. Older youth were less likely (51%) than younger youth (75%) to have engaged in self-harm in the last 12 months.
Within the last 12 months, 65% of younger youth had seriously considered suicide, more than a third had attempted suicide at least once, and nearly 1 in 10 had attempted suicide 4 or more times.
Most gender-confused children grow out of it, landmark 15-year study concludes - as critics say it shows being trans is usually just a phase for kids
Researchers in the Netherlands tracked more than 2,700 children from age 11 to their mid-twenties, asking them every three years of feelings about their gender.
Results showed at the start of the research, around one-in-10 children (11 percent) expressed 'gender non-contentedness' to varying degrees.
But by age 25, just one-in-25 (4 percent) said they 'often' or 'sometimes' were discontent with their gender.
Children must not be rushed to change gender, report warns
[The report] is expected to suggest that these children need counselling to tackle these issues holistically, rather than them automatically being put on a path to change gender.
The report is expected to warn that it is wrong to assume it is in the best interest of children who think they are trans to change gender, and urge extreme caution over the use of drugs such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to facilitate this, even once someone is over 18 years old.
It is believed to advise therapists that children presenting as trans may have had other complex issues such as a difficult family situation, having suffered from abuse, or having been exposed to pornography too early.
The review is also believed to conclude that if you allow a very young child to socially transition they are more likely to grow up to have a fixed trans identity later in life, rather than their gender distress being resolved by other means.
Children on puberty blockers saw mental health change - new analysis
... after 12 months of puberty blocker injections - 34% of the children had reliably deteriorated, 29% had reliably improved, and 37% showed no change, according to their self-reported answers.
The study is small - just 44 young people. And because of the way the original study was designed - without a control group - experts can't infer cause and effect or say these changes in wellbeing were caused by being on puberty blockers.
But despite those limitations, the new analysis suggests the need for more research, both into this specific group and on the impact of puberty blockers more generally.
2. The Victims
Has the USA Sterilized 2+% of all 6-17 year olds?
Between 1.83% and 7.95% of the USA's 6-17 year olds have received gender medicine treatments. A majority of them are expected to be sterilized. This population is projected to continue to grow significantly.
Surgeon: More People Requesting Sex Change Reversals (But No One's Talking About It)
When trans people change their minds and want to detransition, that isn't because they think they have ceased to be members of the sex they had transitioned to, and now believe they have returned to being members of the sex they had transitioned from. Rather, they have come to believe that they always have been members of their “natal sex,” but came to mistakenly believe otherwise. In other words, they have come to believe they were suffering from “gender dysphoria,” regret what they did in response to that disorder, and now want to return to a state as close to normalcy as they can achieve.
That is deeply troubling to transgender ideologists. It suggests that, in at least some cases, gender dysphoria consists not in being a member of one sex “trapped in the body” of the opposite sex, but rather consists in the belief that one is a member of one sex trapped in the body of the other sex.
To legitimize detransitioning, for the reasons given by detransitioners, would thus be to allow evidence that gender dysphoria could be what most people used to think it is. That could undermine the entire basis of the transgender movement… which, of course, cannot be allowed to happen.
16-year-old boy shares his story about being forced to be trans by mother
The 16-year-old boy who was forced to act trans by his mother added: “It sucked. I was pulled out of school and was taken to a strange country where I had no friends. I wasn't even allowed to talk to my dad. My mum didn't even enrol me in school until I was 10… I had been living in America since I was 7!”
“My mum would make me binge watch RuPaul’s Drag Race with her like all the time. Then one day she turned to me in the middle of an episode and told me that I’m special and not like the other kids. She asked if I identify more like her or like my dad… and from all of the terrible things I’d heard her say about my dad, I just responded, ‘like you, mum.'”
“I was a star, or least I felt like it. The teachers absolutely adored me and used me as an example all the time. I got special treatment. I could never do any wrong. The other boys in my class didn't bully me or anything. I guess I really enjoyed the attention so I started to embrace it and play it up a bit.”
Lucas was pressured to take the stage and dance erotically in front of a lot of man. “I didn't know what to do, so I just copied the other dancers and also did what I saw on RuPaul’s Drag Race,” said Lucas.
My New Vagina Won't Make Me Happy
I feel demonstrably worse since I started on hormones. One reason is that, absent the levees of the closet, years of repressed longing for the girlhood I never had have flooded my consciousness. I am a marshland of regret. Another reason is that I take estrogen — effectively, delayed-release sadness, a little aquamarine pill that more or less guarantees a good weep within six to eight hours.
I was not suicidal before hormones. Now I often am.
IT worker, 23, who was given puberty-blocking drugs aged 16 is suing NHS gender clinic the Tavistock Centre to stop it from 'rushing' other teenagers into changing sex
"There was no exploration of the feelings that I had, no psychiatric assessment. It was very brief and based on my recent past. There was no in depth discussion."
"I can see now when I reflect back it was all very rushed, and I wish that there was some psychiatric assessment. At the end of the day I feel like it should have been explored into why I had those feelings and not just accepted for what they were."
"So it's not until I have been able to reflect back recently that I realised I was just stunted by the hormones and allowed to disassociate further through that."
"This is going to affect me for the rest of my life and I have to make do with that and try and accept for how I am now and attempt to move on with that."
'Hundreds' of young trans people seeking help to return to original sex
There is currently no data to reflect the number who may be unhappy in their new gender or who may opt to detransition to their biological sex.
The Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust offers gender identity services for children under 18, with some patients as young as three or four years old.
They now have a record number of referrals and see 3,200% more patients than they did 10 years ago - with the increase for girls up by 5,337%.
Alberta transgender wants MAiD after sexual reassignment surgery goes sour
“I'm accessing M.A.I.D as a sterilized first nations person of treaty 6, who is also a post-op transsexual woman of 14 years. I qualify for it as someone who is sterilized and who has undergone vaginoplasty. Two things that cannot be reversed or relieved," she wrote in the tweet.

Woman pressured into breast removal at 13 under ‘erroneous belief’ she was transgender: lawsuit
Kayla Lovdahl, now 18, says she was pushed to “entertain the erroneous belief that she was transgender” at age 11, after being exposed to online influencers, according to the lawsuit she filed in California State Court against Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and four doctors.
Not knowing what to do when their daughter claimed she was a boy, her parents sought out help from medical professionals who quickly affirmed the girl’s idea that she was transgender, Lovdahl said.
'It turned out to be a big mistake.' Gen Z's trans poster-child Milo from 2016 MTV show re-emerges and tearfully regrets hormone jabs, hairy belly and 'dead ovary'
Today, many parents complain that doctors and therapists bully them into affirming their child's decision to transition by suggesting that, without support, they would likely take their own lives.
'I'm a lot fatter and uglier than I used to be,' she said.
She says she was vulnerable, autistic, shy and socially awkward — all hallmarks of adolescent girls who come out as trans.
Elliot Page Says Director 'Groomed' Him As Teen, Details Multiple Other Alleged Abuses
Elliot Page said he endured multiple instances of sexual abuse and assault as a teenager in Hollywood.
Page suggested in the memoir that his “isolation” and “insecurity” as a teenage actor who was unsure about his sexuality and constantly filming “in new cities, with no friends, alone in hotel rooms,” made him “a perfect target” for predators.
Boy ‘living life entirely as a girl’ removed from mother's care by judge
The judge added: “I was also left in no doubt that [the mother] was absolutely convinced that [the boy] perceived himself as a girl.” Hayden said his “overwhelming impression” was that the woman “believes herself to be to fighting for [her son’s] right to express himself as a girl”.
He said the woman had told him that the boy “expressed disdain for his penis”. He added: “I consider that [the mother] has caused significant emotional harm to [her son] in her active determination that he should be a girl.”
The judge added: “I have noted from reports that the boy] has become interested in Power Rangers, SpongeBob, superheroes and is constantly finding new interests … It is striking that most of [the boy’s] interests are male-oriented.
“I am entirely satisfied, both on the basis of the reports and [the father’s] evidence at this hearing, that he has brought no pressure on (the boy) to pursue masculine interests. [The boy’s] interests and energy are entirely self-motivated.”
3. The Degenerates
Transgenders Are 58% More Likely to Commit Murder Than be Murdered
Painting a full picture regarding the extent of transgender violence has been made difficult due to the fact that the media often omits the “gender identity” of culprits unless it’s absolutely necessary or can be used to bolster the prefabricated pro-LGBT party line.
The fact that a man is six times less likely to be killed if he takes female hormones and wears women’s clothing is proof positive that it’s normal people who are in dire need of advocacy.
Study finds nearly 45% of trans-women inmates convicted of sex crimes
Of the 99 inmate sample group, 44% of the trans women convicts are sex offenders.
82% of gender-diverse offenders were trans-women with an average age of 42 years old and almost half were serving “indeterminate” sentences.
Two-thirds (66%) had low reintegration potential. About 64% of these offenders had committed a “current sexual offence,” while 88% had previously been convicted for sexual offences. About 94% committed their crimes while living as their biological sex.
The vast majority, 85%, were convicted of violent crimes that caused death “or serious harm” to their victims (58% of whom were children or women).
The study also found that 70% of the trans offenders with sex crime jackets were themselves the victims of childhood abuse.
Transgender woman, 24, accused of bludgeoning two innocent people with an axe at a 7-Eleven was born as a boy named Karl - but had a sex change two years ago in Thailand to become Evie
It was widely speculated on social media that the transgender drugs may have contributed to the attack, especially when combined with the antidepressants she also requested.
First transgender state rep in NH charged with child pornography
Laughton has a criminal history dating back to 2021, which included counts of providing false information to 911. Previous unknown felony convictions precluded Laughton from taking office in 2012, but she was again elected in the same year, until she stepped down from office after her fellow Democratic lawmakers called for the representative's resignation.
Philly LGBTQ activist charged with rape, sexual assault of two children
The investigation began on Sept. 25 when the grandmother of one of the victims reported to police that Stephens -- a family friend -- sexually assaulted her grandchild, officials said. Stephens allegedly abused one boy on at least three occasions since 2022, beginning when he was just 8-years-old.
A second victim also told police he was assaulted by Stephens and she had given him gifts "out of nowhere," investigators said. The victim believed the presents were given to him to "keep him quiet," according to court documents.
Stephens also allegedly told one of the victims that he would be locked up if he told anyone about the abuse.
Transgender, 56, faces jail for child pornography after being cleared of "exposing her penis" to girls
The defendant was also cleared earlier in the trial of two further charges of engaging in sexual activity and two of indecent exposure. The prosecution had claimed that the defendant, who is in the process of gender transitioning, had “exposed her penis” deliberately to the two youngsters through the window of her flat.
Canadian HIV-positive biological man ‘breastfeeds’ baby with medical support

4. The Perpetrators
Inauthentic Selves: The modern LGBTQ+ Movement Is Run By Philanthropic Astroturf And Based On Junk Science
Even though transgender people are supposedly a persecuted minority that need civil rights, Vote No on Prop 1 out spent and out raised Alaska Family Action by around $710,000. In total, Vote No had $828,000 at its disposal.
Large, federally based organizations poured money and staff into a small municipal election, all to fight ‘bathroom bills’.
I wondered — how much of this is also happening with identity politics? I wanted to follow the money. And thus, that set off months of investigating funding, causes and lobby groups.
Trans Activists Funded By Big Pharma Push Biased Research Promoting Medical Transitions For Children
Researchers promoted the medical transition of children through biased research after receiving funding from pharmaceutical companies that produce hormone therapy medications.
Activists at an organization with the stated goal of helping young people obtain medical transitions published research claiming to find an association between medical transitions and improved mental health.
Media outlets are promoting this research uncritically while failing to mention problems with methodology and conflicts of interest.
The Billionaires behind the LGBT Movement
Concurrently, Arcus drives gender identity ideology and transgenderism in the marketplace by encouraging businesses to invest in LGBT causes. Lest we forget, Stryker is heir to a $13.6 billion medical corporation. One only has to look at the corporations supporting LGBT during pride month this year to ascertain the success Arcus has had in this arena.
As the example of the Arcus Foundation shows, the LGB civil rights movement of yore has morphed into a relentless behemoth, one that has strong ties to the medical industrial complex and global corporatists. The pharmaceutical lobby is the largest lobbying entity in Congress. Although activists present the LGBT movement as a weak, powerless group suffering oppression and discrimination, in truth it wields enormous power and influence—power it increasingly uses to remake our laws, schools, and society.
Pink-haired Portland surgeon who performs sex-change surgery on trans CHILDREN admits they face lifetime of infertility, incontinence and sexual dissatisfaction, in now-deleted video
Patients frequently have problems after surgery, added the doctor.
They can suffer 'rectal injury and urinary incompetence,' he said. Others struggle to achieve 'sexual satisfaction' from altered body parts and have worse chances of 'future childbearing.'
Some have a 'really demanding post-operative care process,' he added.
Pretty much every male-to-female genital surgery recipient sees their neo-vagina canal shorten over time, he said.
Of the estimated 1.6 million trans and non-binary Americans aged 13 and above, only 31 percent take cross-sex hormones and 16 percent opt for surgery, according to research by the Washington Post and KFF, a health charity.
Parents of three-year-olds 'took their children to NHS Tavistock clinic claiming they were trans when they just wanted a child of a different sex', psychiatrist says
'You had three-year-olds coming in... I saw these parents who had a son but wanted a daughter or the other way around... the parents were saying "Johnny never looked like a boy, so we've changed his name and put on a wig",' [Dr. Az Hakeem] said, according to The Telegraph.
He compared the behaviour of parents to Munchausen by proxy disease, in which a caregiver makes up symptoms in order to create an illusion that their child is sick, calling it 'Transhausen by proxy'.
Other mental health issues were 'overshadowed' in favour of gender identity treatment, prompting accusations that staff rushed children onto powerful drugs.
