The proponents of the so-called Queer Movement argue that they are just taking a stand for what scientific evidence proves, repeatedly arguing that they are the rational group whose beliefs are based on hard evidence and those opposed to them are ignorant, anti-science, anti-fact, dangerous bigots. But, the truth of the matter is that what they really do is distort science in order to turn it into a tool of propaganda to spread their ideology among the ignorant. And the science they can’t distort to their cause they do everything they can to discredit it and suppress it, not because it is poorly done, but because it doesn’t align with their ideology. Need evidence?
Just look at this 2019 Scientific American article.
Distorting Science
The author, then a doctoral candidate at NYU, argues that because some men and some women have genetic mutations and both estrogen and testosterone can be found in men and women there is no such thing as men or women. The whole argument is preposterous when you think about it rationally. A man with a genetic mutation that causes him to manifest breasts is still a man if he has XY chromosomes. A woman is still a woman if she has XX chromosomes, even if she has a genetic mutation that causes her to have gonads in her body. While genitalia is often a great shortcut to determining gender, I don’t think anyone outside of heated arguments really believes that is all that matters.
After all, no one denies that even if a man is in a horrible accident that severs his penis and testicles form him he would still continue to be male. Why? Because being male or female is determined at a chromosomal level, not merely the outward physically biological one. Likewise, the horrible accident of mutation doesn’t change sex. Just as cancer, a genetic mutation itself, doesn’t mean that a woman with breast cancer stops becoming a woman or a man with testicular cancer stops being a man, other genetic mutations don’t alter the gender and sex of the person with the mutation(s). Men with mutations are still men. Women with mutations are still women.
The article further argues that the fact that all hormones are found in both sexes in varying degrees means there is no such thing as sex. Just look at this statement:
And while testosterone exhibits the largest difference between adult males and females, heritability studies have found that genetics (X vs. Y) only explains about 56 percent of an individual’s testosterone, suggesting many other influences on hormones. Furthermore, measurements of sex hormones levels in any one individual wildly vary across the range of “average” values regardless of how close or spread apart you take the measurements. The binary sex model not only insufficiently predicts the presence of hormones but is useless in describing factors that influence them.
Think about the argument this article is making. Your genetics determines 56% of your testosterone, but that doesn’t matter. Really? If you lost 56% of your bank account, would that not be relevant? If 56% of your income came from a specific job, would that job not be a determining factor in your life? The fact that the author can seriously suggest that because only 56% of you testosterone is inherited that clearly means there are no binary sex differences is moronic. If anything, the fact that 56% of a man’s testosterone is genetically heritable, meaning it is tied directly to his genetics, meaning to his chromosomes, meaning to his Y chromosome, is absolute proof of binary sex differences. Those with Y chromosomes are biological men and have more testosterone.
The rest of the argument is just as silly. Does the fact that working out significantly boosts testosterone in men and minusculely in women mean that there are no binary sex differences? Well, one might wonder why women have almost no discernable boosts to testosterone after exercise but men do if there are no binary sex differences. Environmental changes don’t actually alter hormones enough to change the sex of someone and that the binary sex of a person actually determines how much their hormones fluctuate from environmental factors.
The author is actually dishonest in the above quote, claiming the linked study proves that the binary sex model doesn’t predict the differences in hormone levels throughout the day. Yet notice the phrase – “wildly vary across the range of ‘average’ values” said in a way to suggest that changes are very drastic when in fact all the differences fall within the average values for men and for women. Notice the way the author says “average” as if that were just rhetoric and not an objective mathematical measurement so as to sow doubt in your mind before you even read the article.
The author wants you to actually misunderstand the central fact that hormones in men vary throughout the day but stay within expected ranges for men and hormones in women vary throughout the day but stay within expected ranges for women. And that those ranges are different because of the binary sexes, whether you’re a man or a woman There is nothing “wild” about staying within expected norms base don your biologial sex. And what the author ignores about the study is that the hormones that are changing (or not) are different in men than they are in women. From the study:
Testosterone and cortisol were found to be highly reliable in both sexes. Progesterone was found to be reliable after collapsing across sex. Oral contraceptive use was associated with lower levels of testosterone, but did not affect cortisol. Contrary to expectations, oral contraceptives also did not affect progesterone. Menstrual cycle was found to affect levels of progesterone, but not testosterone or cortisol. Time of day had an effect on cortisol, on progesterone only at one testing time, and no effect on testosterone. We explored the interhormone correlations among testosterone, progesterone, and cortisol. All three hormones were positively correlated with one another in men. In women, progesterone was positively correlated with testosterone and cortisol, but testosterone and cortisol were uncorrelated.
Salivary testosterone, cortisol, and progesterone: Two-week stability, interhormone correlations, and effects of time of day, menstrual cycle, and oral contraceptive use on steroid hormone levels
What does this tell us? Testosterone and cortisol were found in similar amounts among all men and all women, which is not to say that men and women have the same amount of either. All men share the same levels of progesterone on average and all women share the same amounts of progesterone on average. But, again, men and women do not share the same amount of progesterone. Men have different levels of progesterone than women. This makes sense because progesterone is one of the key hormones related to menstruating and men don’t menstruate. This is why menstrual cycles effect how much progesterone women have. Testosterone wasn’t effected by the time of day, but the other hormones were. In men, these three hormones had positive correlations, meaning a change in one of them caused changes in the others. In women this wasn’t the case as a change in testosterone in women wouldn’t effect her cortisol levels and vice versa.
So, what does all this tell us? That hormones have average ranges in men and women, that there are different levels of these hormones in men and women, that the hormones levels of men and women operate along gender specific averages regularly, and that they operate differently in men than in women. All of this actually proves that there is a division in human sexes with men and women being biologically different, the exact opposite of the author’s claims.
Potential differences between the brains of people who identify as transgender and those who don’t are presented as proof that the development of the brain is irrelevant in the development of sexual binaries, of being male or female. Therefore, the argument goes, sexual binaries are invented and not biological. But this is a weak argument. Brain differences aren’t always the evidence of normal behavior. Often they’re the evidence of abnormal, unhealthy, and dangerous behavior. Just look at the brains of serial killers:
Examining brain scans of more than 800 incarcerated men, new research co-authored by a leading University of Chicago neuroscientist found that individuals who had committed or attempted homicide had reduced gray matter when compared to those involved in other offenses. Those reductions were especially apparent in regions of the brain associated with emotional processing, behavioral control and social cognition.
Now, you may thinking that I just spent a significant amount of time on this article for no reason. But would that change if I told you the author, Simón(e) D. Sun, is a man who identifies as a transgender woman? This article actually gives us a great insight into exactly how far people in the LGBTQ+ movement will abuse and twist science in order to fit their ideological and social agendas. The ultimate goals is to manipulate the gullible who “believe the experts” (Sun now has a PH.D. after all!) and the ignorant who are too lazy to evaluate the Gish gallop of links thrown at them as proof of some claim. This allows them to come off as seeming highly objective when in fact they are interpreting everything through their subjective philosophical lens, highlighting what they think will promote their agenda, obfuscating that which throws their agendas into question, and distorting the facts to fit their desires. The goal of the LGBTQ+ movement isn’t to speak the truth. Very likely they’re incapable of even recognizing truth because of the intellectual shackles their biases and ideologies have placed on their minds.
Dr. Eric Vilain, said the quiet part aloud when he confessed that the acceptance of transgenderism and its attendant beliefs such as being nonbinary, “has been, in a sense, a philosophical change in our way of looking at sex; that it’s a balance.” It isn’t that new discoveries in science has changed the way we understand sex and gender. It is that their philosophy has changed the way they interpret the world, forcing them to shuffle facts into categories that meet their overwhelmingly politically Leftist beliefs. As with abortion, ideology trumps all and everything else is forced to conform. The primary goal is like wise ideological, to win the ideological “culture war” they are waging on the hearts and minds of society, to convert the masses to the social and political ideologies the LGBTQ+ movement supports. Even as evidence mounts that their methods don’t work.
Suppressing Science
There is a strong correlation between anxiety, depression, suicide ideation (thinking about, fantasizing about, and planning to commit suicide) and gender dysphoria, the mental health condition people who identify as transgender have that causes them to believe they are transgender. Anxiety, depression, higher risks of trying to commit suicide and transgenderism all go together, all products of a brain which is mentally unhealth causing psychological problems for those suffering under its dysfunction. And the more a person “transitions,” i.e. the more the a person presents as being the opposite sex or non-binary, the more anxious and depressed the person becomes. The LGBTQ+ community tries to portray the secondary psychological disorders caused by having a brain that is fundamentally malfunctioning on social persecution, as seen in the following example:
LGBTQ+ people are 9 times more likely to try and kill themselves, more than twice as likely to become alcoholic, more than 3 times as likely to become drug addicts, and a full one-third (that’s one out of every three!) will have a serious mental illness (along with a host of other problems the source website lists.) And we’re told that this is because they’re mistreated by society. But there are serious problems with this argument that become obvious to anyone who thinks deeply about them. The largest is the assumption that it is people not accepting those who identify as transgender which causes them to have so many mental and emotional problems when there is not evidence to actually suggest this is true. It is taken as an a priori assumption and then the evidence that exists is used to “prove” the assumption. This is not to say that poor treatment couldn’t cause such problems. Rather it is to argue that the mental imbalance of gender dysphoria causes anxiety, depression, and suicide ideation in people with gender dysphoria.
Studies already demonstrate that neither social transitioning (dressing and acting as the opposite sex) nor medically transitioning (getting surgery and hormone therapy to appear physically as the opposite sex) do anything to decrease anxiety or depression in people who identify as transgender. For example, this study by Drs. Richard Bränström and John E. Pachankis originally published in the American Journal of Psychiatry concluded that the, “association between gender-affirming surgery and reduced likelihood of mental health treatment lends support to the decision to provide gender-affirming surgeries to transgender individuals who seek them.” But they were forced to “correct” their study and its conclusions after numerous people wrote into the American Journal of Psychiatry to point out the serious errors in the study’s conclusions. After this, Drs. Richard Bränström and John E. Pachankis were forced to issue a correction which admitted that their “results demonstrated no advantage of surgery in relation to subsequent mood or anxiety disorder-related health care visits or prescriptions or hospitalizations following suicide attempts in that comparison.”
In other words, medical transitioning offered no support and did not change the amount of mental health problems or suicide attempts by people who identify as transgender. Neither does social transition, as shown in the next study.
Dr. Michael Bailey, the former Chair of the Psychology Department at Northwestern University who still works there as a psychologist who specializes in, “Sexual Orientation, Gender Nonconformity, Sexual Arousal, Behavior Genetics, Evolutionary Psychology,” wrote:
Our article was based on parent reports of 1,655 adolescent and young adult children. Three-fourths of them were female. Emotional problems were common among this group, especially anxiety and depression, which many parents said preceded gender issues by years. Most of these young people had taken steps to socially transition, including changing their pronouns, dress, and identity to the other sex (or in some cases, to neither sex). Parents observed that after their children socially transitioned, their mental health deteriorated. A small number—seven percent of those whose parents answered Suzanna’s survey—had received medical transition treatment, including drugs to block puberty, or cross-sex hormones.
Disturbingly, those young people with more emotional problems were especially likely to have socially and medically transitioned. The best predictor of both social and medical transition was a referral to a gender specialist. Some 52 percent of parents in our study who had received a referral said they felt pressured by the gender specialist to facilitate some sort of transition for their child..
My Research on Gender Dysphoria Was Censored. But I Won’t Be
Notice here that only 7% of the 1,655 teens in their study had medically transitioned. That means 93% had socially transitioned. And the evidence in his study showed that social transition likewise did not stem the deterioration of the teen’s mental and emotional health, i.e. the teen who identified as transgender continued to have the same problems with anxiety, depression, and suicide ideation after transitioning as before transition. In fact, the mental health problems of the transgender identifying teens got worse after transitioning.
Further, though the study had limited data about whether the parents of the transgender identifying teen supported the teen’s transition or not, the data the study did have suggested that 93% of respondents lived in a home where the parents were “politically progressive, including supportive of LGBT rights and people.” Meaning that the likelihood that the reason these teens continued to have deteriorating mental health was not because they were being mistreated or abused at home. The opposite was true. Their mental health continued to deteriorate even though they were living in an environment supportive of their transitioning.
The conclusions are significant. Despite the propaganda from the LGBTQ+ movement (examples discussed here), people who openly identify and live as transgender and non-binary continue to have higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide than the general population even after “transitioning” and even when living in “gender affirming” families. No matter how much they transition they still suffer. You can see this in the personal testimony and experiences of people who now or did identify as transgender. These are voices the LGBTQ+ Movement wants to silence because they disprove many of their lies, which is why there may be such a push to define people as “nonbinary.” After all, as this article points out, “if the gender fluidity trend continues, perhaps many people will have no unitary gender to ‘persist’ or ‘desist’ from,” effectively allowing the LGBTQ+ people to hide the failures of their ideology and the destruction behind lingual sophistry and social manipulation.
Don’t let them do it.
Listen to the story of Chloe Cole, a young woman who at puberty said she felt uncomfortable in her body, like a boy, and immediately every influential adult outside her home began to tell her that she was transgender and needed to transition. Listen as she recounts how doctors told her parents they had two options – a dead daughter or a transgender son – in order to manipulate the parents into supporting her social and medical transitioning. Listen as she recounts the scars her body will forever bear as a result of the multiple forms of mutilation she was subject to in order to forcibly change her body to look like a boy’s body. Listen as she mourns everything taken from her which she will never regain.
Listen and then tell me this isn’t monstrous to do to a child.
If her story struck a cord with you and you want to know more about her, then her in depth interview here is well worth your time. You can find scores of others with the same story as Chloe’s, the story of having their lives destroyed by the twisted lies of the LGBTQ Movement.
LGBTQ+ People Promote Self-Harm
It seems likely that instead of disproving the existence of human sex, of being male or female, the differences between the brains of those who identify as transgender and those who do not indicates the existence of abnormal brain function in people with gender dysphoria that leads to unhealthy and dangerous behavior in people who identify as transgender. This is because the problems in the brain that cause gender dysphoria (that cause people to believe they should be “transgender”) result in serious psychological problems for people with this mental disorder that leads to ill mental health and engaging in dangerous self-harming behaviors.
How else do you describe a person who wants someone to chemically castrate herself or wants to physically castrate himself by cut off his genitalia?
Is the person who wants to voluntarily cut off their healthy and functioning hand with a machete and one who wants it cut off by another person with a scalpel really that different just because the person will more likely live through the latter? Are the actions of a cutter any different because he or she uses a sterilized blade and never cuts in a place that might cause life threatening harm? Or is the fact that a person wants to cut off healthy and functional parts of his or her body or wants to slice into his or her own flesh in an effort to change the way he or she feels not evidence that this person is mentally and emotionally ill and in need of serious care and therapy? In both these cases of self-mutilation the obvious answer is this person is suffering from unhealthy mental conditions and needs real care that helps him or her see that self-mutilation is wrong.
Then why is it different when a person wants to mutilate his or her body by cutting off his or her genitalia, breasts, etc. in service to a delusion created by abnormal brain operation? Because it is better planned out? That is as absurd an argument as saying that cutting yourself with razor blades or amputating your fingers is healthy behavior just because you (likely) won’t die from the trauma. Self-harm is still harm, even when you pay others to do it for you.
It is no wonder Dr. Bailey’s work was suppressed. I wonder who else is having their important work suppressed, what lies people are consequently being indoctrinated into believing, and how many more lives, Chloe’s, are being destroyed as a result. In the name of “love” and “acceptance” the LGBTQ+ Movement is mutilating men and women, sterilizing children, and destroying the lives of people across the world in ways they can never recover from. This cult cannot stand unopposed and its war on knowledge, science, facts, and truth cannot be allowed to be victorious.
