The World Has Gone Mad

Posted on | June 23, 2016 | 18 Comments

 

The site Medium.com is an interesting platform, which I have not previously used, but this topic seemed appropriate for a first effort:

The rise of transgender mania — for which Bruce “Caitlin” Jenner is the celebrity poster boy/girl — can best be understood as a belated consequence of culture shifts that occurred 40 or 50 years ago, especially in the field of psychology. Whereas once heterosexuality was officially understood as normal, and homosexuality defined as deviant, this understanding was cast aside by the American Psychiatric Association in 1973. If there was no such thing as normal sexual behavior, then it was no longer possible to describe any sexual behavior as abnormal. Pandora’s Box had been opened, and the potential results of this were difficult to predict.
Parents who have more or less traditional expectations for our children find ourselves compelled to protect our children against a culture which increasingly condemns “normal” as a synonym for oppressive. Progressive intellectuals consider you a very bad parent if you expect your boys to be masculine and your girls to be feminine, and you are simply hateful if you expect your children to be heterosexual. . . .

Please read the whole thing at Medium.com.

    Is it really strange to think if people often regret getting tattoos (after the fact), they might feel the same way after self mutilating their own sex organs?

    They do indeed. That particular demographic (those that genital-mutilate, that is) commits suicide with much greater gusto than the general population.

    If the progressives did not have the mentally ill to exploit and abuse, then they might try to do it to the rest of us…

    Oh wait, they do.

    Actually, the suicide rate is the same for those who undergo surgery and those who do not. The transgendered are mentally ill.

    But it should not be news today that you can’t cure mental illness with surgery. I don’t know why the left has such a hard time understanding this.

    Fetishistic obsession.

    This is what transgenderism is mainly about, in addition to social maladjustment. It seems to be much easier (and certainly more politically correct) to enable crazy people in their delusions than to help them deal with their maladjustment.

    Conversion therapy aka ‘Pray the gay away’ is considered unethical by the APA, but radical cosmetic surgery… Look at the people who get Botox, facelifts and boobjobs. Nobody’s happier than them.

    I’m wondering, of the female to male trans people, how many of them identify as lesbians before they transition but remain attracted to females after surgery? Of the male to female trans people, how many of them identify as lesbians after they transition? The males who are male-attracted seem to wind up as cross-dresser only without the radical surgery to satisfy some sort of “shemale” kink in the weird sexual underground. It seems a disproportionate number of the male to female trans wind up trying to become “radical feminists” and identify as lesbians, but maybe that’s because those types make all the noise.

    (I have a theory that those male to female trans people who post-surgery identify as “lesbian” are those who became addicted to “lipstick lesbian” themed porn at an early age and therefore, their transition is predicated on their sexual dysfunction. Alas, mental health professionals are now precluded from addressing that problem and thus, we’ve reached the point where we find ourselves now.)

    Nearly all so called female to male are lesbians before “transition”. Men (M2T) to Trans (they do not become women) are mostlty heterosexual and they keep the male junk and it all works fine despite the female hormones–they do not like people to know that they can get and erection and impregnate and pass disease. They are fetish driven men with a very high rate of rape and murder of women and children: “Autogynephilia is defined as a male’s propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female. It is the paraphilia that is theorized to underlie transvestism and some forms of male-to-female (MtF) transsexualism. Autogynephilia encompasses sexual arousal with cross-dressing and cross-gender expression that does not involve women’s clothing per se. The concept of autogynephilia defines a typology of MtF transsexualism and offers a theory of motivation for one type of MtF transsexualism. Autogynephilia resembles a sexual orientation in that it involves elements of idealization and attachment as well as erotic desire. Nearly 3% of men in Western countries may experience autogynephilia; its most severe manifestation, MtF transsexualism, is rare but increasing in prevalence. Some theorists and clinicians reject the transsexual typology and theory of motivation derived from autogynephilia; their objections suggest a need for additional research. The concept of autogynephilia can assist clinicians in understanding some otherwise puzzling manifestations of nonhomosexual MtF transsexualism. Autogynephilia exemplifies an unusual paraphilic category called ‘erotic target identity inversions’, in which men desire to impersonate or turn their bodies into facsimiles of the persons or things to which they are sexually attracted.”

    These men keep their sex organs–it is some myth from the 1960s that they get the goods gone–they don’t–penis tesicles are all there and working.

    It may be a kind of conversion therapy and they just don’t know it. What if all the little kids they are Transing are gay–watch the pop of gay men plunge in the next decade. They maybe implementing their own demise and don’t even know it.

    As many others have observed, there are many miserable people out there who, if they can’t be happy themselves, want to make other people equally as miserable.
