Report: Modern Culture Is Not Just Revealing Transgenders, ‘It Is Creating Them’
Breitbart ^ | February 17, 2018 | Thomas D. Williams, PH.D.

All scientific evidence indicates that gender identity disorders result principally from cultural causes and moreover, modern society is facilitating them, according to an analysis published Friday. Writing for the Catholic World Report, Anne Hendershott chronicles an exploding “transgender industry” illustrated by a massive surge in the number of referrals for gender-identity treatment, in some cases increasing by as much as 2800 percent in less than ten years.

Western societies such as the UK, Sweden, Australia, and the USA have seen a spectacular rise in the number of persons, especially young people, seeking treatment for gender identity issues, paralleling the attention given to gender theory in communications, medicine, and the entertainment media.

In the U.S., the percentage of adults who currently identify as transgender is double what is was in 2011, according to the best estimates.

Not a surprise at all. Until the last few years "transgender rights" was barely even discussed in the media. Now it's all over the place. It's confusing for young children to be exposed to this.

I wonder how many homosexual “marriages” are being performed these days?

Another year, another fad from the “look at me” generation.

Check back in 10 years. I really doubt that this phenomenon continues it’s upward climb at the same rate.
Next fad for some will be looking for a good doctor to reverse these changes, provided they didn’t take ‘surgical solutions’ already.

Not unexpected when some 10 year old boy can give makeup tutorials on YouTube and gets tens of thousands of followers following his lead.

Obama and his ilk did youth a horrible injustice by promoting transgenderism for nothing but political reasons.

“Doctor, I’m not happy.”
“Well, would it help if I mutilated your genitals?”
“You know, I think it would. Go for it, Doc.”

It’s no news to me. Not only transgenderism but homosexuality is being promoted and encouraged. It’s a self-delusional state which not only imposed on them, but everyone else who would otherwise say it’s just wrong. We’re conditioned into thinking it’s somehow brave and admirable to admit sexual deviations from the norm. What percentage of the animal kingdom is actually homosexual? They will say there are examples in captivity, but that is hardly a natural environment. What percent of them actually prefer their own sex rather than the opposite? No examples I’m aware of. Yet in humans the percentages are increasing as the culture promotes it. It’s not at all something we’re born with, like they claim. It’s conditioned by society. There is also solid scientific evidence that it’s not genetic, according to studies done on identical twins.

When your only constant is change, the only certainty is that once they get something, they immediately look for the next thing to “fix” or tear down.

The slogan “Make It New” is a major expression of the modernist movement. It is generally associated with the poet Ezra Pound, who was a Fascist.

Not surprisingly, the Progressives want to throw out anything traditional or ordinary and constantly see change for the sake of change.

Throughout history, morality has only prevailed when it’s been promoted by people who aren’t afraid to be strong and stern. Give people permission to be decadent, and they will become decadent quite quickly.

The only positive thing I can say about Islam is that religious Muslims don’t give a damn about being called intolerant or hateful. They preach their values unapologetically, and plenty of people are terrified of defying them.

There have always been queers and cross dressers. But the idea that you can change your sex, or be gender neutral, or a “third sex’, needs to be shouted down in the loudest and harshest voice possible.

I don’t get this transgenderism, at all. AT 72, life was complicated enough just handling my “birth” gender, male. Why would any male want to undergo the mutilation and problems of changing into another sex.

The “best looking” SHemale (boy turned girl) I’ve ever seen, was ugly. If I saw Caitland coming down the street toward me, I would know first, “she” is a “he”, and secondly, I’d cross the street to keep from passing he/she/it on the sidewalk.

Most of these male to female transitions look no more like real women than did “Uncle Miltie” (Milton Berle) in the 50’s doing his drag comedy routine on TV.

It’s just another step to shock and amaze others, like those with zillions of tattoos, metal studs sticking out of every orifice and available space on the face.

They do these things to themselves, and then lament that others don’t “support” them, or “respect” them. And, in my opinion, I don’t support or respect them. They’re nuts. Starving for attention at the most primal level, the desire to be a completely different person, gender and all.

The media eats it up. They live in the same mindset. And, so long as the weirdoes get this attention, they’ll keep acting out these fantasies.

One day, they might wake up. It might be too late. They’ll be old, and lonely...hideous with faded tattoos covering their now, unrecognizable faces, and having the usual problems and diseases of getting old.

Meanwhile, the rest of us should go on with our lives; we didn’t create the problem, and we (as individuals) don’t have to fix it.

Of course. “transgender” is being pushed by the same people who can’t stop talking about climate change and population control. It’s absolutely no surprise. Their goal is to have less people reproducing. This is just another tool in the toolbox, alongside birth control, abortion, homosexuality, pet-obsession, environmental catastrophism, and every other modern cultural fad pushed by the global elite.
