These articles reinforce our belief that the phenomenal attention being paid, promotion really, to transgenderism reflects warped political correctness and cultural degeneration not healing arts, and amounts to child abuse and malpractice at any age. A point or two from each is excerpted but the entirety of each of the articles is worthy. The whole crazed transgender phenomenon is reflective of something, and it isn’t healthy.

Trendy to Be Transgender: Child Psychologist Reveals Something Terrifying about Many Kids
“This suggests that social contagion may be at play,” the study says. “In many schools and communities, there are entire peer groups ‘coming out’ as trans at the same time.”
“The study further suggests that factors like parental abuse and social reinforcement influence a child mentally. These factors can “contribute to the development and/or persistence” of gender dysphoria.”
10 Ways The Transgender Push Mirrors The Lobotomy Craze Renee Garner at the Federalist
We can learn a lot by looking back at history. Here I revisit the rise and fall of the lobotomy and compare it to today’s enthusiasm for altering children’s bodies to match their gender identities. . . .
The history of this medical fad reveals that pioneering doctors, and the medical establishment that embraces them, can fail in their duty to “Do No Harm.” It shows people, even those who possess medical degrees, are imperfect and can champion poor science.
At initial glance, it may appear that lobotomies (which target assumed defects of the brain) and the medical transition of gender dysphoric children (which target assumed defects of the body) have little in common. But if you look past which body parts are “corrected,” you see that both are psychological conditions some doctors treat with drastic, irreversible medical interventions. There are a number of parallels.

A study from professors at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, for example, found that 46 percent of transgender men and 42 percent of transgender women in the study had attempted suicide.
Is this due to discrimination? The study does show high levels of discrimination against transgender people. But it also shows that the suicide rate among transgender women who say people identify them as transgender regularly is 45 percent. How about those who are able to pass for the gender to which they claim membership? Their suicide rate is still 40 percent . How about the suicide rate among those transgender individuals who have had hormone treatment? It’s 45 percent. Surgery doesn’t militate against suicide either.
My Philosophy of Mental Illness Mike Adams at Town Hall
A devastating critique of of transgender acceptance and the intimidation to do so — crazy, cruel, cowardly and the philosophy is self defeating and sick
Treatment. Back when we used to treat “transgendered folk” as suffering from GID we intuitively recognized that we were dealing with a mental illness. If someone thought he was a she we treated him. We would no more want him to have his genitals surgically removed under the guise that he was a woman than we would want them sewn onto his forehead under the guise that he was a unicorn. If you think that sounds harsh, you are wrong. Treating people who are sick with the goal of keeping them from hurting themselves is not cruelty. It is called compassion.
