One thing I've noticed with people like you is your tendency to aggressively project. It's very psychologically revealing. It's also a sign of spiritual immaturity, because you need some authority to tell you what to think, or feel, or believe. You're incapable of normal, rational common sense thought. You are a very young soul, and as such, infantilised.

Furthermore, you are so wedded to these beliefs that when you feel those beliefs are threatened (with common sense, rational thought) you feel personally threatened, so you resort to ad hominem attacks.

You see, psychologically mature human beings don't need to be told. And they have the ability to do something called 'critical thinking'. Likewise, they can do their own research. You clearly know nothing about the medical condition known as 'gender incongruence', but more importantly, you have not bothered to actually educate yourself about it. If you had, you'd know it's just a very rare medical condition (about 1 in 10,000 prevalence), characterised by a disorder of brain development. In a dimorphic species like humans there's a male and female, and this applies to brain configuration as much as physiology. Sometimes the two develop incongruently. It just happens. There's a tried and tested treatment pathway (starting with all-important puberty blockers) which, unfortunately, can only treat the symptoms (gender dysphoria) not the underlying condition - it's impossible with current technology to change the gender of the brain or body. To deny a child with that condition puberty blockers is to force them through puberty, and the irreversible changes associated with it. That's abusive and cruel.

If you understood even the basics of neuroscience you would understand this. Your bigoted transphobia is the equivalent of saying children with leukemia are a threat and should be denied treatment. That's called child abuse.

You say there are 'zionists' 'promoting' trans issues. Well, are there not zionists on every side? It's called sowing discord. It's also 'whataboutery'. It doesn't matter what your zionists are doing, it's the issue that matters.

One of the reasons this issue is important to me, apart from basic moral principles, is because the issue of child abuse matters to me personally (I am a victim/survivor of childhood abuse). For you to equate gender care services with child abuse is itself abusive. It's the denial of gender care services which is the abuse.

And the chances are - also ironically - I know far, far, far more than you will ever do about the global child abuse network.

So I suggest, if you are capable of it, that you try and educate yourself, rather than blindly believing what you have been manipulated into believing (which goes back to the point of Caitlin's article - it was clearly aimed at people like you).

Thank you for your reconciliatory reply, it's appreciated. Yes, you are correct that the issue has been weaponised. So in other words the bad guys have propagandists and agitators on both sides (as usual!). That's why we shouldn't necessarily take sides, but examine the issue itself objectively and form an opinion that way. I am aware of the purely medical facts of the trans thing, so that part is easy. Once I've got that out of the way I can clearly see all this weaponisation, and it's the innocent trans people (especially children) who get caught in the middle and suffer accordingly.

One of the telling things is that transgender stuff was never an issue up until very recently, maybe ten years or so ago. If I recall correctly this coincides with when the WHO finally got around to declassifying the trans condition from a 'psychological' condition (which it isn't), and changed the name to 'gender incongruence', thus acknowledging that it's a brain development disorder, not some psychological 'choice' that can be either made by an individual, or which can be manipulated into an individual (in the same way that 'conversion therapy' for homosexuality doesn't work). Just as you can't convince someone they're, I don't know, a different colour or something. I suppose you could use some serious systematic trauma-based mind control to do it, but the sheer effort involved in that for no ROI makes it pointless.

And yes, you're right that there is a profit-driven (pharma/medical) industry which preys on young people, but it's not the trans thing - aside from anything else it's such a rare condition that the profits simply aren't there. Puberty blockers, for example, have been around for 60 years (and used for childhood gender incongruence for 40 or so I think), and are totally off-patent (like all the other treatments for trans people). So I think that profit-motive argument is a bit of misdirection. There are better avenues of profit for these bad guys (childhood vaccine schedules spring to mind, with the subsequent chronic illnesses etc.), but certainly generalised childhood stress and thus psychological issues would also be a source of revenue.

The obvious solution to that is to make healthcare publicly owned and not-for-profit. I don't know if you are aware but in my country of origin (Britain) successive governments have been doing their damnedest to privatise the NHS. And make people sicker at the same time. Go figure.
