New in PJ Media:
Long ago, in less enlightened ages, when superstitions all too easily beguiled and misled the human soul, people thought they saw their neighbors conversing with demons and flying through the air by means of witchcraft. We laugh at all that now. Now we know to Trust the Science, and the Science tells us that men can become women and women men, and that children as young as toddlers can know that they’re trapped in the wrong body, but when this happens, medical professionals can fix them right up with puberty blockers and surgery that will make everyone everything he or she or xe or it ever wanted to be in a jiffy. That’s so much more enlightened, and it’s spreading: in Maryland, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) reports a 582% increase in students with gender confusion.
Isn’t it wonderful that so many children are awakening to their true selves? Or rather, is it yet another sign that this is a mind virus, a social contagion that emanates more from societal obsessions than from the confused child’s actual psyche? The answer really isn’t unclear, much as many people would wish it to be. The transgender madness is a sociocultural fad like the hula hoop or stuffing people into phone booths or swallowing goldfish or growing one’s hair long and dropping out of school to find oneself, and one day in the not-too-distant future people will look back with horror at how so many children were mutilated and their lives destroyed in service of this madness.
But right now, it’s all the rage. The Daily Caller reported Tuesday that MCPS found out about the skyrocketing numbers of transgender students “from forms school counselors fill out when students approach them to talk about gender identity issues. Because the numbers rely on self-reporting, the near-sevenfold increase from 2019 to 2022 could indicate a massive increase in the number of gender-diverse students, an environment that encourages those students to be more open with counselors or both.” It’s not just an environment that encourages transgender students to be more open with counselors. It’s an environment that encourages students who may already be lonely, or depressed, or alienated, or directionless, or any number of other things, to think that their problems all stem from “gender dysphoria” and can all be solved by going under the knife and becoming a lifelong dependent of the pharmaceutical industry.
There is more. Read the rest here.

A few months ago, a young man wrote an article about himself and it appeared on the news feed.
He said that he had been unhappy and depressed and felt so alone. He was approached by those intent on turning kids into mutilated freaks, and they convinced him that his emotional and mental states were due to the gender thing. They told him that if he began taking hormones, he would be happy. the drugs alone didn’t bring him happiness, so they convinced him that he needed surgery also. In his depressed state, he accepted what they told him. This young man did not lose his depression; in fact, it deepened. He wrote about it all in order to help other young people avoid what he had come to learn …that this is life-destroying. It makes every bad feeling worse.
There is big money for those who are giving the drugs and doing the surgery. Hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The kids aren’t coming up with these ideas that they are in the ‘wrong body.” It’s the demonic thoughts and conniving actions of adults who are finding pleasure in the mutilating, the confusion, the turning the kids away from the parents who want their son to be their son and their daughter to be their daughter; and these ghouls are in league with the *doctors* and he drug industry who are getting rich off the concocted misery of the kids.

Sane people are horrified right now – and there are still people alive today who were mutilated and sterilised in the name of “eugenics” in the 1930s / 1940s, lobotomised as a “cure” for mental illness in the 1950s / 1960s etc.
One Swedish woman – (and presumably hundreds/thousands more) – was sterilised because her classwork was poor and her teacher decided that it would improve society if she were prevented from reproducing.
Her desperate attempts to explain that she was not stupid, but simply needed glasses to read the blackboard, were naturally ignored.

This stuff is sick. Too many psychologists know more psychology than there is.
My daughter thought she was a boy until she was 5 or 6. Confused? Not at all — simply developing. We all have sex “problems” — we’d hardly be human if we didn’t.

Recommend all to read Robert Spencer’s lengthier PJ Media article.
Very well written, and worth your time:

Jesus was especially concerned about children and severely warned anyone who harmed or misguided them.
“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones”. (Luke 17:2)

and He gave this fair warning to all, not to stumble…or harm…these “little ones” because He is going to bring Judgment upon all who do harm to them; be it physical, emotional, mental or spiritual harm.
James Lincoln says
Yes, somehistory.
