The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions (and Money)
There's no explanation via nature for the sudden explosion of people questioning their gender/sexuality. Human evolution doesn't move that quickly. Ideology/corporate forces are the main drivers here
It is amazing how many people at the forefront pushing the trans agenda have for years told us that a person’s brain is not fully developed until age 25 and, thus, should not be allowed to make many important decisions until well into adulthood, but somehow perhaps the most important and impactful decision of all can be fully realized by not only someone under 18, but increasingly the push is that even for very young children they should be empowered to make these types of life-altering decisions. Increasingly, it appears these decisions are being purposely hidden from parental view.
The bottom line is that we have seen an absolute explosion of interest in this topic not only in discussion but in actual action. As the chart above shows, there has been a huge spike in referrals in the past few years (it is very difficult to find hard public data out of the US. It is almost as if the spike in gender referrals by trusted officials is purposely being hidden from public view in our country. It appears more study has been done globally.)
There is clearly no real science behind this growth. True Science and nature cannot explain this at all and in fact basic science shows that this is a trend that does not makes sense, is not coming from nature, and is being driven largely by artificial man-made forces. Human nature simply does not change this fast. There are clearly larger forces behind this and unfortunately the evilness of money and profit is at the top of the list to try and explain. Certainly, there could be other socioeconomic reasons why this topic is being jammed down the throat of society so aggressively right now, most likely, another sinister ploy to further divide people via an extremely emotional, hot button topic. But at its base, this is about big money and big corporations finding a new model for growth. The corporate model has zero empathy for the actual well-being of people. The drive for profit and money trumps all, including the trampling of rights and human suffering.
We all seem to understand and accept that people go through phases in life, but they are that: phases. Remember the concept of tomboys? Everyone of a certain age vividly remembers some girls people referred to in this way—girls that simply, for example, liked to hang out with the boys, dress in boys clothing, and play backyard football and such. The idea that these girls should be immediately driven to the nearest gender clinic to take all sorts of puberty blocking drugs that have tons of side effects and perhaps have their breasts removed would have been viewed as complete insanity at any time in the past say more than 15 years ago. Being a tomboy (or tomgirl) was typically a phase that the child eventually grew out of happily. Nevertheless, even if it is more than just a phase, does the extreme act of changing sexes—and taking irreversible drugs that ruin the chance for a person to ever have their own children—need to be immediately considered?
The obvious issue with hormone blockers and genital mutilation surgery is that they are irreversible. Some decisions in life are bigger than others and should be proceeded with extra caution. The explosion in the number of gender-affirming care clinics over just the past 10 to 15 years is proof that the road of caution is not being followed at all. It is absolutely sickening to know that so much of this is being driven by money at the expense of innocent children. How do so many turn a blind eye to this?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. We have a childhood mental health emergency; the helicopter-style of parenting/teaching that has taken over the past two decades has been disastrous. This style subconsciously instills in children that you can’t trust and doesn’t allow enough breathing space for them to find their authentic self so they can grow up to be genuinely confident and happy people. Children are feeding off the fear-driven, frantic, enabling, and overcompensating energy of adults. What our youth need is for adults to convey a sense of command.
The omnipresence of technology and social media in modern life for children is a key factor in all of this as well. Children under twelve should experience as little technology as possible. It’s to the point that we now have some children displaying autism-like characteristics who don’t actually have autism but have spent so much of their formative years in front of a screen they don’t know how to relate.
It is a balancing act like everything. We need to be fully present and there for kids providing loving guidance. For their journey, adults need to be available for any and all questions children may have on a whole variety of topics; nothing should be off the table. However, we must have a level of trust and security in our own selves to not be overbearing with children and feel like we need to give detailed instruction on everything about their lives that ends up suffocating kids and does not give them the breathing space they need. Let's call it a try too hard mentality that is very prevalent in certain parts of the socio-economic spectrum.
Apologists for the sudden rise in transgender ideology will say that society was overly oppressive before and we are simply rapidly catching up to the true number of transgender people. You have to start with some huge assumptions to have this point of view. Still, I think this is a classic issue of there being a bit of a middle ground, with plenty of areas for potential compromise. I have no doubt there was a greater number of genuine transgender individuals in the past than people realize and that there was some harmful suppression going on, but clearly we’ve gone to the complete opposite spectrum now and done so in record time. There will be huge implications for generations to come for this sudden and rapid change in human development, teaching, and understanding.
