Trans Ideology & the Corruption of Medicine
by Pastor Terry
Reese, Valley GBC of Armagh, PA; 10/19/23
The Numbers: Overall there are 1.6 mill. “trans” people in the US (ages 13 & over)—a number
that has doubled over a decade. Of these, 300,000
are youth (13-17)—a doubling
in the past 5 years! Clinics now offering
“treatment” for such children has expanded from 0
(15 yrs. ago) to 100!
Gender-reassignment
“therapies” have become a big-business in the USA—particularly since the passage of Obamacare* in 2010, resulting in an explosion
of such procedures. Quietly written in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was the
requirement that insurances provide for necessary “gender
affirming care.”
o 2010-16 saw a 50%
increase in reassignment surgeries.
o 2016 saw an additional
amendment to the ACA; gender
identity could no longer be a basis for denial of coverage by private insurance
companies. 2016-17 thus saw a 150% increase in
expensive gender-reassignment surgeries!
o The above measure was reversed by
Trump (2020)—but sadly, reinstated
by Biden in his first 100 days (2021).
The underlying progressive political agenda behind the promotion of such procedures
is painfully evident in the widespread skirting
of accepted medical and scientific standards with regard to gender-reassignment
“therapies.” Note the following evidences:
o
There
is no genetic basis (i.e., “trans-gene”) for this condition.
o There have been NO peer-reviewed
clinical studies on the long-term efficacy, consequences, or
potentially debilitating effects of these procedures upon patients (pharmaceutical,
surgical, etc.). Yet, we continue to pump-up patients—including developing
children—with powerful drugs like
testosterone, estrogen, and puberty blockers! Unprecedented!
o The FDA has
not approved a single pharma product used
in gender-transition specifically for that purpose (some are approved
for cancer therapy). These drugs are thus prescribed off-label (i.e.,
unauthorized)—yet, it’s being done!
o
The
ONLY protocols
currently being followed come from WPATH—a radical trans-advocacy group!
o Meanwhile, the US medical establishment remains silent…
o 2013: the American Psychiatric Association ceased
objectively classifying gender identity
disorder as a mental illness.
THE BOTTOM LINE: All this bears the marks of being
agenda-driven by politically powerful postmodern progressives whose goal is to
change the culture and annihilate Christianity.
Brainwashing/mass-marketing/propaganda. As with the homosexual community--which evolved from sodomy (a sinful act),
to homosexuality (a clinical condition), to gay (a "legitimate" identity)--nomenclature
has been successfully employed to reprogram our societal mindset with regard to the "Trans Community."
For most of the 20th century, the abnormality that was formerly labelled transsexualism was viewed as psychiatric disorder—and was consequently treated as such by the psychiatric profession. A major shift occurred in 2013, however when the American Psychiatric Association amended its Diagnostic Statistic Manual of Mental Illness (DSM) and no longer classified what it had called gender identity disorder as an objective, psycho-sexual disorder—i.e., a mental illness. Henceforth, the favored terminology would be gender dysphoria—which speaks NOT of an abnormality or mental disorder, but rather, to the subjective feelings of discomfort that a “transgender” person (a normal condition) feels in reference to being “trapped” in the “wrong” body—as well as the feelings of stress that he/she faces in relating to a non-acceptant and prejudicial society.
*Note
how public policy on LGBTQ issues was completely reshaped by a bisexual man—Barack Obama—who,
as a 21-year old man, confessed in a 1982 letter (now in the custody of Emory University)
to his then girlfriend, Alex McNear, that he regularly fantasized about having
relations with other men, and that he was androgynous with regard to his own
personal gender identity (cf., Rising Star, by David Garrow; 2017).
