Why Lie

I mostly agree with you, but I disagree on the term "gender dysphoria," which I think is inaccurate, and has caused - by way of the creation of a self-serving formal diagnosis - a body dysmorphia spike in young people. Philosopher Ian Hacking coined the term the "looping effect" to describe a feedback loop wherein creating a psychiatric classification shapes how people understand themselves. Once a formal diagnosis exists, people begin adopting its reported behaviors and symptoms, which in turn expands the official definition of the disorder itself. The original usage of "gender identity" as described by sexologist John Money referred explicitly to sexual positions, to such an extent that he actually had a castrated 6 year-old boy engage in "sexual rehearsal play" with his brother. Money instructed David Reimer, who he called Brenda, to act out the female sexual role. Because gender identity ideology concepts were created by sexologists who worked with, and often expressed support for, sex offenders, I do not trust the term "gender dysphoria," and note that it was picked up, decades ago, by transvestites with a castration fetish in a bid to pathologize, and therefore normalize, a sexual fetish that depends on unwilling public participation. "Gender dysphoria" is an alteration of "body dysmorphia" while removing any element of the physical: gender is a subjective and ill-defined concept, and dysphoria merely refers to a feeling of general discontent. Whereas "body dysmorphia" is more concrete and addresses the distress about the physical form. Loosening the terminology has allowed men with sexual pathologies to hide behind distressed girls. Similarly, "gender dysphoria" obliterates the sexed differences in experience and motivation for males and females. Men's reasons for wanting to have breasts to play with, for instance, as compared to a young woman struggling with an eating disorder. The term also entirely glosses over the element of sexual abuse that is often involved in cases of young people who believe they are "in the wrong body". A belief system and medical process created by sexologists and through sex offender treatment therapy has ultimately led to the sterilization of young people who often have experienced some form of sexual abuse, even if merely exposure to violent pornography at a young age. The term "gender dysphoria" was applied to men who wished to be castrated, which is an extension of a body modification fetish. Decades ago there were so few females expressing a desire to "transition" that sexologists discussed among themselves how they could seek them out. They needed female patients in order to normalize the male castration fetish. It turns out that all they had to do was create a vague enough term, and the social contagion, backed by the apparent legitimacy of the medical establishment, could finally wrap its sickly arms around girls and young women.

I've never done this before, but I'm struggling at the moment, and in the thick of it. There are reasons I can't talk about it, some are legal, but personally I know there are crazy people who want to see me suffer. If you think that the writing I've done for the past four years - especially all of my exclusives about the prison system and the history of gender identity ideology has been valuable, or helped you in some way, it would be very much appreciated if you can spare just $5. Everything I've written since 2022, building up the body of writing and evidence I have - which has been used in court cases, by Attorney Generals in lawsuits, and especially in a Supreme Court case - I've just been doing on the basis of donations. I don't make much money for the work I do because I consider my writing to be a public service and I would feel ashamed otherwise. I've never used a paywall. But, because of that, I'm not making very much at all, despite having dedicated years of my life - and, if I can be bold, important contributions - to this conversation. I have worked hard, written hundreds of articles over the past four years, many of them exclusives, and I'm not funded by any think tank, just by readers who appreciate having more information. If you're able to just give a few dollars right now, it goes towards my cost of living and some of the lawsuits I'm engaged in that I can't talk about yet. buy.stripe.com/28o5llf4b47sc…
