Dear Friends,
It seems to me, a scalpel is a poor tool to treat mental illness. In this, I disagree with many experts on the subject. They maintain, if a child questions their sexuality, the first response should be to remove their genitalia, making them unable to have actual sex again. That’s called gender affirming care. Destroying a child’s gender. In this we can conclude that the words are the reverse of the action. Nevertheless, the smartest people in any room (just ask them) affirm and avow, this is the correct course of action. Being idealists, they hold that intentions are all that count… outcomes be damned. So their go to for anything is power. In this case the power of the scalpel to remove offending parts. To sculpt someone into the ideal of themselves in their mind. Plus, the required surgeries are lucrative.
I fail to understand how “gender dysphoria” is anything but a mental illness. How is it different for a woman who thinks she should be a man, or a man who thinks he should have been a woman… from a person who thinks they should have been born a monkey? How about someone who thinks they are Napoleon? Which of these two options do you think is the more rational one? To admit them to a surgery chamber and shorten them by removing a few vertebra, and shortening the femurs, change the shape of their face to look like Bonaparte, and then call them Emperor? OR, give them mental health treatment? Normal people will uniformly say, mental health treatment, is the more rational choice. As it is with those who actually have “gender dysphoria.”
In my worldview, doctors are there to help people who are sick get better, people who are injured to heal, and to do no harm. At least intentional harm. Because the state of medicine is always in flux. What’s common knowledge today maybe commonly known to be terrible tomorrow. Like using mercury to treat syphilis. The race is to see which drives you crazy first. In the case of gender affirming surgery, or more appropriately, “Gender destroying surgery…” the harm is in the act as well as the outcome. It’s not like a doctor administering mercury to treat syphilis, it’s like Josef Mengele playing god. Like applying mercury as an antibiotic, the side effect is death. The one by poisoning the other by suicide. Regardless, the outcome is the same… No witnesses.
People become fixated and captured by ideas. Sometimes those ideas are literal malevolence… as is the “trans movement.” Demonic in nature those experts possessed by it are not in their right minds. Like Nazi death camp guards they think they’re doing the right thing. Instead of listening to their hearts, that must scream how wrong their actions are, they only listen to their head, telling them they’re doing it for the betterment of the species. Their idealistic goal is worth any atrocity. Tough there’s precedent in the progressive faction for just this kind of behavior. In their eugenics movement. Another bowel movement of the progressives. Where elitists would judge others, as worthy of having children… or to be subjected to inhuman sterilization. By scalpel. Which Mengele was trying to make more humane.
There’s no telling someone’s intentions. The experts involved in the “trans” movement may think it’s an altruistic effort, or maybe they’re evil incarnate. Who can say for sure? I can’t read minds… nor can they. All we can see and thereby judge are actions and outcomes. Doing permanent damage to a child for a temporary feeling is the epitome of harming the patient. Knowingly, I would argue. The trans BM maybe another example of using leaches to cure cancer. A foolish yet noble attempt that results in disaster for the patient. There certainly is precedent for that as well. Nevertheless, using a scalpel to treat a mental illness is sufficiently counter intuitive, to be considered quackery. So I would urge everyone to speak up, to stop this insanity, before more innocent lives are destroyed.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
