Is gender dysphoria an acute dislike of the gendered stereotypes delineated for biological sex, as the research suggests? If so, then why is the first line of action manipulating children's rapidly developing bodies with invasive chemicals, the full long-term effects of which we are not even close to understanding? We already know they are harmful. That should be enough. Why isn't it?
By giving boys access to girls' safe spaces, we also give all children mixed messages, including the one that boys can have vaginas and girls can have penises, and without any education on true intersex realities that are deserving of factual exploration. When we no longer call children "children" related to their age, or "girls and boys" related to their biology, but instead "purple penguins," in our efforts at "inclusion," we are furthering this doublespeak and colluding in severing children from their biological roots in the way that industrial capitalism has severed people's relationship to the earth. Given that 75% of the world's population lives in urban areas, totally removed from the growth of their food, most people if you asked where their food came from would be apt to say "the supermarket."
Dissociating children further from their natural processes and instilling a false idea about how they are created gives adult market forces free rein to control, and thus exploit them. Children are being taught that their biology is not real, that their selves are located in some subjective reality in their minds, that their minds that have nothing to do with their bodies, that their body parts are disposable. This is biophobia reaching its peak, and with it a techno-utopia being formalized through education and the law that will forever break the bond children have to the biological source of earth and mother, replacing her with the father of capitalism and industrial civilization. Transgender children, taken under the medical wing of industrial capitalism, will rely on civilization for their health and their sense of self for the rest of their lives. With aggrandized identities and chemical bodies taking the place of connection to the earth, each other, and the biodiversity that surrounds us, the joyous potential of the natural child's full expression and social development is being silenced by a trend that looks more and more each day like human rights violations, like eugenics.
This is what biophobia looks like.
Planetary biology and personal biology are being silenced. Institutionalized through education and the law, an unease and even hatred towards biology permeates industrial culture. It entraps children and compartmentalizes them into gendered boxes that limit their unique developmental journey and true potential. In addition, medical transgenderism's incessant focus on mind-body dissociation, sex-role stereotypes, and peer/popular culture pre-emptively limits child development and prioritizes the artificial over the biodynamic. This makes it even more unlikely that the medically transitioning child will have the kind of intimacy with the natural world that is necessary in order to effectively resist that which is killing it and/or survive its collapse. In addition, medically transgendered children are being made further dependent on fossil fuel-derived industry for their pharmaceutical needs and sense of "self" for the rest of their foreseeable lives, with all accompanying side effects and health risks.
Industrial chemicals and other compounds are in every waterway on earth and in every mammal mother's breast milk. Endocrine disruptions have changed the timeline of childhood physical development in more and more children with puberty and all its physical and emotional upheavals occurring as early as age seven, juxtaposed with the emotional and mental development that requires chronological time to arrive. Add to this adults (be they parents, legal guardians, school counselors, teachers, or medical clinicians) who are often ill-equipped to guide and guard optimal child development, particularly when faced with the uncharted waters of precocious puberty and the popularity of GID within a socially unjust society, and the deal is done. Brave New World meets Lucrative New World.
Children struggling to express themselves now have a permanent "medical condition" instead of a transitory psychological disorder. Raised during the backlash to feminism and the all-out war on women and the living world, these children are no longer regarded as a group at risk of exploitation simply due to being children in this culture. The way that women are treated is directly connected to the way that children and the earth are treated. The transgender ideology's efforts to silence biological, dimorphic sex in homo sapiens in turn works to deny the very real sex-based oppression in our society that makes male violence a primary problem for women, children, and all vulnerable classes of beings. In the worldview of medical transgenderism, female source and the sacred integrity of biology itself are treared with profane disregard. Meanwhile the statistics on crimes against the bodies of women and children pile up at the altar of gender ideology.
