Non-reassignment is inhuman, aggressive intervention driven by huge business interests today. A recent volume presents those who regret the surgery, showing how the trans industry operates in the West. For the strong-hearted only!
In recent years, one of the main progressive topics in the Western world has been transgenderism: after the legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States in 2015, this became the new cultural battleground. Transgender people are those who feel they were “born in the wrong body,” meaning they are “actually” of the opposite gender to their biological sex. Previously known as gender identity disorder, it is now celebrated as a human right. The “oppressed” transgender individuals are celebrated, and questioning the transgender movement is forbidden, anyone who does so is “dehumanized.”
Transgenderism historically affects 0.01 percent of society, mostly boys. According to various surveys, in the European Union, the population ranges from 0.3; in the United States, it ranges from 0.3-0.6 percent. In numbers, in the 512 million EU, there are 1.5 million transgender individuals, and in the 326 million USA, there are 1.4 million transgender individuals. However, this is a number that emerged after broadening the definition. There are surveys indicating that this type of gender identity disorder occurs in 0.001 percent of women and 0.033 percent of men.
Until 2012, science did not know of sudden gender identity disorders in teenage girls. However, this phenomenon emerged. Then in the United Kingdom in 2018, there was a 4400 percent increase in the proportion of teenage girls wanting to undergo “gender transition” surgery. In the United States, the number of such surgeries on women quadrupled between 2016-17, accounting for 70 percent of all such surgeries. American journalist Abigail Shrier calls this the “trans epidemic,” while researcher Lisa Littman describes it as rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD).
Transgenderism faces several issues. Most notably, the anthropology behind it is completely mistaken. Two knowledgeable scientist physicians, Paul McHugh and Lawrence Mayer, along with their colleagues reviewed the literature on sexuality and gender in 2016, and concluded that
it is scientifically baseless to say that someone is “born in the wrong body.”
In addition, the American psychological and medical profession almost immediately refers everyone with suspected gender identity disorder to gender reassignment surgery – often a one-hour conversation is enough for this. Gender reassignment surgery is now called “gender-affirming surgery” because, contrary to biology, it affirms the felt gender. However, “gender reassignment” is only apparent, as a person’s brain, skeleton, and cells are either male or female in nature and cannot be altered. The use of puberty blockers and hormone treatments can cause serious illnesses and disorders. Real gender reassignment is impossible.
And it is also not true that minors are not operated on: a Reuters investigation found more than fifty minors who had undergone gender reassignment surgery in the United States between 2019-2021: during 2019-2021, 56 13-17 year old adolescents with gender dysphoria underwent genital reconstructive surgery, such as vaginoplasty. A scandal erupted in Texas over this issue. However, 95 percent of children with gender identity disorder outgrow it by adolescence.
Detransitioners are those who regret transgenderism, and according to official surveys, they make up 2 percent of transgender individuals, but based on clinical practice, it is likely that this number is much higher, as many of them disappear from the care system. The existence of detransitioners is extremely embarrassing for the transgender movement, which preaches that being trans is wonderful, and gender affirming surgery is a wonderful “journey.” According to Lisa Littman’s research
only 24 percent of detransitioners inform the healthcare system, meaning the actual number could be around 8 percent.
The movement tends to dismiss detransitioners as the “minority of the minority,” claiming they are too few to be worth considering. This is a rather inconsistent argument, as it could be used to sweep the transgender movement, even the LGBTQ movement, off the table. They present themselves as great minority protectors, then ignore the existence of minorities that are uncomfortable for them. Not nice.
Detransitioners are often criticized for not being transgender in the first place. However, this is a false argument. The LGBTQ movement usually emphasizes the fluidity of sexuality – which is true according to studies, especially regarding LGBTQ orientations. Heterosexuality is quite stable. But if sexuality is fluid, then surely someone can be trans, then not trans, at least in theory. Of course, we know that
according to the movement, this fluidity is only politically correct and acceptable away from heterosexuality and biological gender, not back.
Contrary to the claims of the transgender movement, that such gender confusion is innate and unchangeable. This is also not true: it cannot be innate to have a “gender feeling” contrary to our biology, and practice does not support it. The transgender movement claims that transgenderism is innate and unchangeable, so it tries to push anyone in whom the possibility of being trans arises into gender reassignment, then in the case of regret, it washes its hands and excuses itself, saying, well, they were not really trans to begin with, even though the movement pushed for the gender reassignment of those involved. The problem is just this: it is impossible to predict who will regret it. However, gender-reassigning interventions cannot be reversed.
The so-called Dutch protocol for treating minors with gender identity disorder with puberty blockers has been increasingly criticized. Recently, numerous researchers spoke out against the practice. At the end of 2022, two experts wrote against it in the German Die Welt, and in August 2022, thirty Dutch professionals demanded the abolition of the protocol. A Swedish review in 2021 also finds insufficient data on the psychological effects of puberty blocking, as do the Finnish health authorities in 2020 and the British report in 2022.
Many young people who start gender reassignment early regret the entire process, they are the “detransitioners,” who are now in the Reddit/detrans group.
