An Encroaching Danger That Must Be DefeatedNovember 4, 2024Have you ever asked yourself what this transgender movement is all about, and how and when did it all begin? It seems like it snuck up on the rest of us, and one day it was just there. And because of its controversial sexual nature, has created tremendous conflict among the American people, especially the parents of young children. It is now, aside from abortion, a major defining element in the culture war, supported mainly by the Democratic Party, media, and medical community, with some exceptions. You can trace the origin of transgenderism back centuries. In postmodern terms, gender identity, gender-affirming, and non-binary emerged in the 1950s and1960s; but transgender men and women can be found throughout the 19th century. The first known and recognized advocacy organization in the United States was formed in 1895. The first transgender medical reassignment surgeries were performed in the early 20th century in Germany. The path transgender rights has taken from its earliest days, and its being fourth in line in the LGBTQ acronym, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, is stark, dangerous, and harmful. It has imposed itself into the educational and medical systems, and is threatening children's and parental rights. Medical procedures are being performed, and puberty blockers dispensed are having detrimental effects. These actions have amounted to over $100 million, filling the coffers of hospitals and doctors who perform the surgeries, drug companies, and politicians. Let me be blunt here, I would prefer to not have to write about this subject matter, and believe it is a distasteful aberration. But because it has been widely accepted as a cultural norm by the Democratic Party, media, big business, education, Hollywood, and the military, people must be made aware of the threat. There is a growing movement, however, among parent groups, politicians, medical professionals, and religious institutions, which is taking steps to counteract the transgender incursion into American life. As I stated previously, this is dangerous and can be harmful to children and the family. In a recent study by the group “Do No Harm,” it was determined that between 2019 and 2023, over 14,000 children have undergone transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormone treatments. The cost of this abominable practice in revenue was $150 million. The report breaks down the various procedures during those years. * Children who received transgender-related treatments - 14,994 Based on the report's revelations, Dr. Miriam Grossman, a Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist, appeared before the House Energy and Commerce Sub-Committee on Health on June 14, 2023. She testified that “suicide among youth with gender dysphoria is extremely rare, gender dysphoria is a psychiatric condition, and most cases resolve themselves on their own.” The doctor also stated that “puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries, according to the evidence, are not lifesaving or necessary." The doctor made this damning statement, “This release of data is really a nuclear bomb and we are led to believe by politicians and by many groups that these interventions are very rare and hardly happening at all in this country and that is simply not true.” She added, “girls as young as twelve are having mastectomies, minors are having genital surgeries, and the natural course of puberty is being prevented.” Unlike its European counterparts, the United States continues to recognize the transgender ethos. Parents are being misled by profit-seeking doctors and hospitals, and in some cases may be forced into accepting the reckless, selfish recommendations, or risk having their child removed from his or her home. The following are known as the ‘’Dirty Dozen” hospitals that offer transgender pediatric medical assistance, and some of these hospitals advertise their dirty services: The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Children’s Minnesota Seattle Children’s Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Boston Children’s Hospital Rady Children’s Hospital Children’s National Medical Center UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland Children’s Hospital Colorado UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Surveys reveal two-thirds of the American people oppose any kind of transgender procedures, including puberty blockers and hormone treatments for children under 18. Also, it is not physically possible, whatever you may read or hear, to change one's gender. It defies nature and nature's God, and the number is increasing of those who have gone through the process but seek to transition back to their birth sex. What is happening here, strikes me as the kind of destructive activity that an outside hostile enemy would perpetrate to destroy the social fabric of America. Only the enemy here is within, undermining and creating instability in the family, and rendering a generation of the young to mental and physical deterioration and weakness. Keep this in mind when you vote, knowing the Democrats', Harris and Walz, position supports the transgender ideology, whereas Republicans, Trump and Vance, have spoken out against this insanity, as well as biological males in girls and women’s sports.
