I am not a parent of a transgender child; I am just a man looking in.

Transgenderism

"I am not a parent of a transgender child; I am just a man looking in. But I am a husband to my wife, a father to my two daughters, and a grandfather to five granddaughters, so I have a lot at stake in this. The following is a random set of thoughts on the subject. I have only touched on the subject, and I may delve more deeply into the subject in further essays.
Transgenderism: historically (and that word may be slightly inappropriate as it only came to the fore with John Money back in the 1960s) was generally associated with adult men. John Money advanced the use of more accurate (?) terminology in sex research, coining the terms gender role and sexual orientation. Despite widespread popular belief, Money did not coin the term gender identity. Money pioneered drug treatment for sex offenders to extinguish their sex drives. Nowadays transgenderism fully embraces the medicalisation of children and young adults who may be prescribed life-changing puberty blockers and testosterone for young women which may makes them go through menopause as young as 18.
David Reimer was a Canadian man raised as a girl following medical advice and intervention after his penis was severely injured during a botched circumcision in infancy. John Money oversaw the case and reported the reassignment as successful and as evidence that gender identity is primarily learned. The academic sexologistMilton Diamond later reported that Reimer's realisation that he was not a girl occurred between the ages of 9 and 11 years and that he was living as a male by the age of 15. Well known in medical circles for years anonymously as the "John/Joan" case, Reimer later went public with his story to help discourage similar medical practices. David killed himself at age 38 because he lived a lie. Today, we are being told that young men and women will kill themselves if they do not allow them to live a lie. David Reimer may have died telling the world of the dangers of gender reassignment but today the medical profession appears to be falling over themselves to provide this surgical operation.
In 2013 while I was doing research for an academic assignment, I found that LGBT people were approximately 3.6% of the population, and trans-identified people were one in 20,000. Today, teachers are saying that there could be a trans-identified pupil in every class, making it approximately 1:30. In addition, the LGBT percentage has exploded in the Gen Z population, accounting for nearly 30%. Teachers and lecturers are pushing gender ideology without telling their students about the adverse medical side effects and the effect on their minds. They don't share the obvious consequences of depression when patients go through with the transition and then realise that they are still the sex that they had tried to change..."
