"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
-- A Goldfinger
For the second time a trans person has shot up a place associated with a religious school.
First in Tennesee. Now in Minnesota.
We're getting perilously close to "where there's smoke there's fire" point and having to look a lot harder at the trans community and ask some hard questions.
One question that the LGBT community will fight tooth and nail to keep from being asked, let alone answered, is, "is gender dysphoria the primary ailment or a secondary symptom of an underlying problem?"
Modern psychiatry doesn't want to ask this either, from fear of the LGBT community's response.
I'll say it again.
The people with simple gender dysphoria are absolutely harmless. The only problem is a mild delusion that the person in the mirror isn't them. It's easy to work with and around. They also tend to live long, reasonably happy lives.
Then there's the folks with gender problems that stem from something deeper. Again, most of the time, it's manageable and has happy outcomes.
Outcomes that lead to them recognizing their genetic sex as their gender.
This is an outcome that's unacceptable to the LGBT political activists and they try to treat a symptom with little more than placebos and palliatives; leading to the underlying problem to run rampant untreated.
Why?
Because if you do, successfully, treat the underlying problem they stop being trans!
The activists can't fucking have that!
We can't even try to sort the different causes out from one another without being accused of LGBT genocide or other such nonsense.
So we end up with untreated psychoses which lead to violence to themselves and others.
There's some huge problems in modern psychiatry that need to be addressed, and there's a mountain of political activists in the way of what was once a promising scientific field.
In a lot of cases, I'd say that what we're dealing with is not out-and-out gender dysphoria, but a bunch of very troubled, suggestible people who've fallen into the hands of "therapists" and "counselors" who've bought into the whole "your real gender is not your genetic gender" nonsense, for whatever reasons. Do you remember the "recovered memories" rumpus from the 90s? That was shown to be far more a matter of "therapists" putting ideas into people's heads than actual recovered memories---a lot of the "memories" they recovered (always of being sexually abused as children, surprise surprise) could not be coordinated with known events, and turned out to be tissues of fantasies.
ReplyDeleteAn online friend of mine who's a lesbian says she thinks that the "transgender"" nonsense is a subtle plot to get rid of "butch" lesbians. A girl who's "tomboyish" isn't just let be a tomboy, but is told repeatedly that "you're really a boy in a girl's body," and urged to get surgery and hormone therapy that'll permanently sterilize her and may well damage her forever. And the worst thing about "transgender" is that, unlike other things, you can't go back. Castration is forever.
As you say there is a miniscule population of people who were exposed to large amounts of opposite sex hormones in utero and develop dysphoria, who are mostly harmless. Then there are the larger population of individuals with autism, depression, bipolar and other diagnoses who through social contagion, or bad therapists have been told that changing their gender will cure them. These are the people who transition, discover this has not cured them and become the next school shooters.
ReplyDeleteWe don't know the ratio between one class and the other, research has essentially stopped.
DeleteWe suspect the ratio is as you state, but psychiatrists are basically barred from finding out.
I suspect that the social contagion vector is causing an increasing presentation of dysphoria from otherwise well understood psychoses and those same social pressures are preventing accurate diagnosis and, thus, effective treatment.
We should not forget that, despite a murder rampage being what started this post, the most common form of harm done by these people is self-harm. I am not even alluding to hormones or surgery.
Also note the use of the word PEOPLE. Lots of pundits dehumanize these people and treat it as something they chose to become. They never say things like, "they decided to get cancer" in the same way they act as if the sufferer of these maladies decided to be mentally ill.
I'd say the number of incidents would increase if you expand beyond attacking schools... Including things like ambushing ICE/CBP/Police would seem to indicate that there is a violent fringe element to that group. How large it is might be difficult to gauge, but denying the existence at this point? I'd say we're well into "enemy action" here... But I'm just an engineer, what would I know...
ReplyDeleteI call it twice because this is a different flavor than the general antifa bullshit or liberal crazy.
DeleteI have said elsewhere that when this "gender-bending/blending" fad passes, there are going to be some very unhappy people with "buyer's remorse" about having "transitioned." And some therapists and counselors (and surgeons?) are going to be facing some absolutely whopping lawsuits.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't so long ago that you really had to go the extra mile to prove you were genuinely trans to get the surgeries performed in the US. The preferred methods were to treat the wiring because changing the plumbing was considered a desperate last choice.
DeleteEven then, the outcome were dire after surgery. The suicide rate for post-op is staggeringly high.
But it needs to be acknowledged that lots of people left the US for surgery, so the underlying issue might not have been address as it once was here, leading to them discovering that their gender wasn't what was making them unhappy.
