A Theatre of the Oppressed: Some Random Thoughts on Transgenderism Part 1

By Patrick Hall

It’s chic, cutting-edge, debonair, and maybe a bit Avant-guard in its misguided way. It’s the T of the LGBTQ+. I think it’s poisoning the entire LGBTQ+ community and giving it the underserved label of being a bit of an Alphabet Mafia. It is the very loud, if not influential, sector of the Transgender Movement, who are regrettably targeting children for recruitment into their horrendous, if not deliberate exploitation of “confused prepubescence youth” (itself a prolixity in terms of the age group.) They push the tautology of gender hormone treatment with estrogen or testosterone, chest reconstruction, and cutting off one’s penis with the dubious blessing of some medical professionals. This is oftentimes done in concert with a professed professional cosmetic concierge. Doctor Rachel Levine, the current United States Secretary for Health, (a transgender female, i.e., biological male) is at the forefront of what is rapidly promoting the biggest medical heresy unto troubled youth. It is the early 21st-century version of phrenology. We are being led to believe by Dr. Levine and other transgender proponents, that it is only common sense if a patient is unhappy with an untreated mental health condition, that the medical professionals' solution is to cut off healthy body parts or inject one’s body with all types of inappropriate pharmaceuticals. The latter has little to no longitudinal research backing up the pseudo-medical babel designated as gender-affirming care.  Tragically, the patient will realize they are still unhappy with an untreated “mental health condition” and mutilated sex organs to boot. Wonderful!

All of this misguided information supposedly comes under the overly abused, if not taken advantage of diagnosis of gender dysphoria previously called Gender Identity Disorder (GID). It is one of many rare, if not questionable diagnoses courtesy of the DMS-V. The fluidity and scientific accuracy of today’s rapidly expanding mental health nomenclature are highly debated and open to discussion within the greater psychology community.

 In the book The Abolition of Sex by noted feminist Kara Dansky, without hesitation provides a litany of evidence and case analysis of how the transgender agenda has harmed women, girls, and small children. In an earlier article, I’ve already outlined some of the damage transgender females (biological males) have brought to women’s sports competitions.¹   Although, I don’t agree with her most salient contention, that there is no such thing as transgender. Transgenderism can be a devastating social toxin for prepubescence youth with other psychological, emotional, and growing pains, that have little or nothing to do with gender dysphoria.

 Transgenderism may be something to explore or consider appropriate once a person reaches a certain age, say 18 years. Then one can at least make the tertiary argument, that he or she “may possess” or have the discernment to make such a life-altering choice.  In my own family, I have a son, who in his late twenties chose to identify as a male, even though “he/she” was born a biological, X chromosome female.

I am mostly concerned with a certain segment of the transgender crowd that is targeting if not bullying preteen children and their parents (with emotional problems) telling them, that their “in and out depressions or worries are primarily caused by, and therefore can be remedied, when or if they discover their true gender.    

In the vast majority of cases “given the age group,” transgenderism is a fad. They eat Tide pods for Christ's sake! Children are susceptible to TV, social media, and cartoons. And in Western cultures, it is partly the result of having way too much time on our hands coupled with never having to face real problems or evil such as “lack of food and clean water.” Whether your parents, an older sibling, or an uncle are going to sell you into sex slavery, or simply abandon you. As cuddled and spoiled Westerners, we have little to no experience living under real authoritarian governments. In some authoritarian and third-world countries, openly expressing various forms of transgenderism or other behaviors/choices of the greater LGBTQ+ community would lead to your arrest, or in places like Afghanistan you could get your head chopped off and your private parts shoved down your throat.   Now that is real transphobia and not the wishy-washy self-indulge “Theatre of the Oppressed” that the more radical and vocal constituents of the Transgender movement and some in the greater LGBTQ+ community are dogmatically tethered.
 
Let me be clear, we are not talking about adults or individuals above the age of 18 making these debatable life-changing decisions.  If someone “feels” they no longer identify with the biological sex they had at birth and wish to change it. So be it!  One could still consider their thinking a bit screwed up. But they are adults and not children, who aren’t anywhere near reaching their adult psychological, physical, or emotional maturity. One firewall that we, who want to protect children, (sometimes from themselves) is, that we need to act and provide adult guidance.  The most vocal members of the transgender community are targeting, “grooming” and herding children toward consequences unimaginable to a child. We must stop the propaganda and let children have a childhood, that doesn't damage them. Once again, it used to be called "growing pains", as the human body "transitioned" from adolescence to maturity. Now it's a billion-dollar child abuse industry "transitioning" children through "gender-affirming" sex reassignment. We must haunt the pseudo-medical-psychologized BS, and let our children be children.
