PORTSMOUTH, OH – An individual with gender identity—body dysphoria rejects the body but obsesses over the body at the same time. Rejecting the body to accept the body is an illogical and irrational decision.

Diane Sawyer’s interviewed Bruce Jenner in April of 2015. He opined, “for all intents and purposes I’m a woman,” changing his name to Caitlyn a few months later. A judge legally approved a name and a gender change in September. In October, Glamour magazine named Jenner a “Woman of the Year.”

Sadly, what happens in Hollywood/Hollyweird either trickles or gushes into society by influencing and manipulating cultural norms.

Enter Barack Obama and his minions. First the Department of Education (2010) and then the Department of Justice and Department of Education jointly (2016) redefined the word sex — i.e., biological sex — to include “gender identity.” Title IX sliced and diced science and sensibility. Hard science no longer reigned. Biology was kicked to the curb. Just as the emperor with no clothes paraded down the street, the make-believe story of gender ideology stepped boldly onto center stage – and the delusion intensified.

“It is contrary to medical science to use chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive organs, external genitalia, or secondary sex characteristics, to override gender identity for purposes of classifying someone as male or female.” –Dr. Deanna Adkins, professor at Duke University School of Medicine.

No matter, the cultists ignored the science: the presidents (Barack Obama, Joe Biden), the government, the radical LGBTQ and transgender activists, the medical profession, educators, mainstream media. Biology of the two sexes, taken hostage by the soldiers of insanity, stormed the country.

Is Obama a homosexual man and is Michelle a transwoman? In 2014, Joan Rivers said this to a reporter. Mainstream media chalked it up to a mere joke. Watch the clip at YouTube.

The former first lady Michelle Obama revealed that she hates how she looks “all the time and no matter what” in a new book titled “The Light We Carry.”

Popular culture and political action intersected at the corner of a radicalized fairytale.

Abracadabra, a male is changed to a female or a female is changed to a male. Someone waved the magic wand over skin and bones – presto chango.

But the deep pockets of the powerful megalomaniacs in the shadows (aka the Deep State regime) continued to control and finance the medication and mutilation cult while pandering fear and using cancel culture – tactics of dictators – to silence opposition.

The transgender cult movement, a well-oiled propaganda machine – a well-oiled money machine, continues to sell children a risky process and a counterfeit product – both a fallacy and a forgery.

A male rejects his masculine body parts: penis, gonads, facial and body hair, deep voice, and characteristics that show his maleness. He rejects biology, DNA, and the building blocks that produce a male. The rejection of self is a portrait in self-loathing. The myth that true happiness will be found in a mutilated body.

He focuses on looking like a female in hopes of becoming a female. He becomes obsessed with hair atop his head, makeup, clothing. He takes hormones for breasts and signs up for surgery. And his body obsession continues throughout his lifespan. Is there a turning point when he accepts his female body as: perfection, good enough, or not good enough – what scale does he use to judge height, weight, size, shape? Does he compare his body to other biological males that identify as female or does he compare himself to biological females?

He may become indignant when biological heterosexual males will not date him or consider him as a mate. He cannot have monthly periods, become pregnant, deliver a baby, or breast-feed.

Yet, he doesn’t reject the brain. He doesn’t request another brain. His brain tells him that he is a female so he believes the brain and rejects the body.

America is in the midst of what has been called a ‘transgender moment’ writes Ryan T. Anderson in his 2018 book, “When Harry Became Sally.” He points out that “Not long ago, most Americans had never heard of transgender identity, but within the space of a year it became a cause claiming the mantle of civil rights.”

Anderson writes, “The fundamental conceptual distinction between a male and a female is the organism’s organization for sexual reproduction.” He argues that “sex is a coherent concept only on the basis of that organization.”

The Truth about Kids and Their Bodies

Here’s the truth: For decades, follow-up studies of transgender kids have shown that a substantial majority –anywhere from 65 to 94 percent – eventually ceased to identify as transgender. In other words, they accepted their biological sex and their bodies.

Here’s the lie: The transgender cult denies biology in favor of fiction. Science says two sexes: male and female.

A female rejects her feminine body parts: breasts, vagina, uterus. She focuses on looking like a male in hopes of becoming a male. She rejects biology, DNA, and the building blocks that produce a female. The rejection of self is a portrait in self-loathing. The myth that true happiness will be found in a mutilated body.

Chapter 6 in Anderson’s book examines gender dysphoria among children. Experts agree that between 80 and 95 percent of kids who experience gender dysphoria naturally resolve those feelings in favor of their biological sex. Because of this, Anderson argues, “We need medical professionals who will help them mature in harmony with their bodies, rather than deploy experimental treatments to refashion their bodies.”

In 2020, “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” by Abigail Shrier produced a meltdown in the transgender cult movement? Because it told the truth and cults fear truth. “Why, in the last decade, has the diagnosis “gender dysphoria,” transformed from a vanishingly rare affliction, applying almost exclusively to boys and men, to an epidemic among teenage girls?” The gender ideology cult specializes in the indoctrination of children.

Trans Victims Speak Out

“Transgender to Transformed: A Story of Transition That Will Truly Set You Free,” by Laura Perry. “Like many who feel trapped in the wrong body, Laura “transitioned” to the opposite sex through irreversible surgeries, hormone injections, and a legal name change. Yet, despite her initial elation at living as a male, her new identity failed to bring her the peace and fulfillment she longed for. Realizing that she was living a lie, what was promised to be freedom had instead become a prison cell.”

Books by Walt Heyer:

Truth started trickling out, then truth started gushing out. And 2022 brought about protests and legislation as eyes opened to reality. Voices of reason and rationality shouted and continued to shout.

Fast-forward to 2023

Voices of sane and sensible citizens are even stronger in 2023. The soldiers of science are marching onward as the transgender cult movement is exposed.

Exposing the Gender Industry in America is a conference in Texas April 20, 2023. Partners for Ethical Care is bringing together experts from across the world for one night only to share their experiences in the areas of psychology, psychiatry, medicine, pediatrics, ethics, politics, and the law. From the pedestrian to the political, panelists will explain how “gender identity” as a concept was created, how it is being used today, and ways that you can take action to help children grow up healthy.

“2023 Will See More Pushback Against the Transgender Movement,” according to an article in UPWARD. The transgender movement in schools, government, and the medical establishment grew increasingly radical and controversial in the U.S. this year. Conservatives pushed back with record numbers of bills, regulations, and lawsuits, and there are signs that the momentum will continue into 2023.

Available June 2023 – “Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist’s Guide Out of the Madness,” by Miriam Grossman. “Don’t be blindsided like so many parents I know,” warns Grossman, “be proactive and get educated. Feel prepared and confident to discuss trans, nonbinary, or whatever your child brings to the dinner table.” Whether it’s the “trans is as common as red hair” claim, or the “I’m not your son, I’m your daughter” proclamation, or the “do you prefer a live son or a dead daughter’ threat, says Grossman, no family is immune, and every parent must be prepared.

It’s worth saying again: An individual with gender identity—body dysphoria rejects the body but obsesses over the body at the same time. Rejecting the body to accept the body is an illogical and irrational decision. Furthermore, gender ideology is a nonscience-based theory. Transgenderism is a fairytale.
