A Hidden A-Gender: The Denial Of Reality

 

“Anything could be true. The so-called laws of Nature were nonsense. The law of gravity was nonsense."---Eric Blair aka George Orwell, 1984.

I have often stated that sexual perversion and the occult are the two biggest threats to humanity in the time of Great Apostasy. Homosexuality, the sin of Sodom (hence "sodomites" correctly describes homosexuals), is one of the Four Sins That Cry To Heaven For Vengeance.  After Vatican II, sodomites were tolerated. Then, they were accepted. Now, they are openly celebrated and unnatural vice is promoted. In the alphabet of perversion ("LGBTQIA2S+"), "transgender" goes beyond the rest in its denial of reality itself. The sodomites deny God and His Natural Law. From that, now comes the denial of basic biology and laws of logic. 

Biological men win women’s beauty pageants. Biological men beat women in swimming and weightlifting competitions. Biological men demand to be called women and to be referred to with female pronouns and vice versa. Minors are given “hormone blockers” (they are not tame, but poisonous) and cross-sex hormones, and some have their genitals or breasts surgically removed. To oppose these outcomes earns one the title of “transphobe” — a made up word, signifying a bigot with a mental illness and in the immoral grip of hateful error. Welcome to 1984 forty years later. 

This post will expose the ongoing threat of "trans-mania" and the role of Bergoglio and his sect in advancing it. I wish to credit the myriad sources, both online and books/periodicals, that were used by me in the formation of this post.

What is "Gender Theory"?

 It is the false and unscientific idea that each person is made up of different aspects of each gender. It is broken down as follows:

• Sex has to do with the body/biology (genitals, chromosomes, etc.)

• Gender Identity concerns the "self-awareness" of who you are "in your head"

• Gender Expression is how someone presents themselves to others in terms of clothes, actions, mannerisms, etc.

• Attraction is who or what someone is attracted to sexually; men, women, even animals (beastiality)

Allegedly, everyone has a gender identity which may or may not conform with their biological sex. 

The Four Falsehoods of Gender Theory

1. Binary is bad.

The claim: There are more than two genders. 

The truth: God created male and female--period. It is the very basis of the sodomites' "LGBT" label. Lesbians are women attracted to other women. "Gays" are men attracted to other men. Bisexuals are men or women attracted to both men and women. Transgenders are men or women who want to live as the opposite sex, or an "alternative" (made-up) "gender."

2. Gender is a spectrum.

The claim: There are many different genders on a whole spectrum of identity.

The truth: There are many different ways we express masculinity and femininity because we are all different people. That doesn't imply there are roughly seven billion different genders. The reality remains that we are male or female. According to ABC News, there are 58 genders (See eroscoaching.com/2017/06/58-gender-options/). Does anyone even know what "Two-Spirit" means and how it differs from being "Genderqueer" or "Neutrois"? Sheer insanity.

3. Man and Woman are merely "social constructs"

The claim: The social roles of men and women differ according to time, place, and culture. There is nothing objective about those terms.

The truth: Social roles may change, but sexual differentiation is based on biological facts, not social constructs.

4. Gender identity is separate from biological sex.

The claim: How we live our lives is independent from our genitalia.

The truth: A comprehensive survey of the scientific evidence was published in 2016 in The New Atlantis. It discussed over 200 peer-reviewed studies in the biological, psychological, and social sciences. It concluded: 

The hypothesis that gender identity is an innate, fixed property of human beings that is independent of biological sex--that a person might be "a man trapped in a woman's body," or a "woman trapped in a man's body"---is not supported by scientific evidence. (See Meyer and McHugh, "Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological, and Social Sciences," The New Atlantic: A Journal of Technology & Society, 50, Fall 2016, pg. 8; Emphasis mine). Moreover, if gender identity has nothing to do with biology, why the demand for surgeries and hormone blockers? "I identify as.." translates to "I pretend to be..."

The Invented Vocabulary of a Warped Ideology

The following words and phrases are made up by gender theorists to make them sound as if what they are peddling is real instead of jabberwocky. 

Assigned at Birth: This made up phrase refers to the sex given on a person's birth certificate. It's as if some nurse puts a label in an arbitrary and capricious manner on a baby. The obvious attempt is to, once more, dissociate biological sex from gender. To label a child with male genitalia as a boy and female genitalia as a girl is biologically factual regardless of what that child may "feel like" in the future. Only in rare instances of a child born with a true intersex condition, having genitals of an ambiguous nature, would the term really apply.

Cisgender: "Cis" means "on the same side" implying that your gender lines up with your biological sex and plays into the lie that they can be separated. If anyone asks me if I'm cisgender, I always reply, "No, I'm a man." 

Preferred Gender Pronouns (PGPs) and Gender Neutral Pronouns (GNPs): This allows men who consider themselves women to call themselves "she" and "her" while women who think they are men can call themselves "he" and "his." Gender neutral pronouns such as "they" and "them"  are also used. A while ago, I was reading an article in the New York Times. A trans-pervert was stopped from going somewhere and it read, "They were refused entry." As someone who reads English it was confusing because I thought several people were prevented from going some place when it was just one person. There are also made up pronouns like ze (pronounced "ZEE") and hir (pronounced "HEAR.").

Transphobic: A fictitious mental disorder by which people who don't believe there are 58 genders and you can "pick your pronouns" are thereby psychologically unsound, hateful, and bigoted. It is a way to bully Christians and those with traditional values not to speak out or else they will face consequences.  

"Transgenderism" vs. Scientific Fact: Background

Transgenderism is an umbrella term encompassing any person who embraces an identity discordant with their biological sex, with or without emotional dysphoria. Transgenderism is an ideology, whereas gender dysphoria is a diagnosis. Previously known as gender identity disorder (GID), gender dysphoria (GD) is a diagnosis listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), a compendium of mental health disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association. The first time that the concept was published in the DSM was in 1980, when the term was listed as transsexualism (DSM-III version). In 1994, with the publication of the DSM-IV, the term was replaced with gender identity disorder (GID). In 2013, GID was replaced in the DSM5 by gender dysphoria, a term meant to eliminate the idea that identifying with a different gender than one’s birth sex is a disorder. Just as homosexuality was a disorder until 1973, the change has nothing to do with science, and everything to do with ideology. 

Gender dysphoria is currently defined as a marked incongruence of at least six months’ duration between one’s experienced/expressed gender and “assigned gender.” It’s also accompanied by at least two of six additional criteria:

• marked incongruence between expressed gender and primary or secondary sex characteristics,
• a strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics,
• a strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender,
• a strong desire to be the other gender or an “alternative gender,”
• a strong desire to be treated as the other gender or an “alternative gender,”
•  and a strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender or an “alternative gender.” (See American Psychiatric Association, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM-5-TR, rev. 5th ed. [2022]). 

The current version of the DSM, DSM-5-TR, made other changes, including replacing “desired gender” with “experienced gender,” “cross-sex treatment regimen” with “gender-affirming treatment regimen,” and “natal male/natal female” with “individual assigned male/female at birth.”

(See Michael B. First et al., “DSM-5-TR: Overview of What’s New and What’s Changed,” World Psychiatry 21, no. 2 [June 2022]). 

Historically, people with gender congruence difficulties could be divided into two distinct populations: very young children (said to have early-onset gender dysphoria) and adults (late-onset). The young children, usually males, often demonstrated gender-atypical behavior (e.g., boys who liked to play with dolls) at a very young age. Most of these children outgrew the behavior during or after puberty and became comfortable with their birth sex, although they were more likely to be homosexual than the general population. The adults were usually male who often lived successfully as men into adulthood.

Now, in addition to early- and late-onset gender dysphoria, a third population has emerged. This group consists of a population of adolescents (predominantly female) who have no history of gender dysphoria or gender atypical behavior and suddenly declare themselves transgender. The term rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) has been proposed to refer to this third group. 

The Intersex Justification

Transgender people are mentally ill. Their "allies" are morally depraved. You will often hear both discussing poor "intersex people" as proof that there are more than two biological sexes, and the need for "transgender acceptance." Intersex is almost always misunderstood and purposely misrepresented to give undue credibility to transgenders. 

New life begins at the moment of biological fertilization. Chromosomal sex is established at fertilization when a sperm containing either an X- or a Y-chromosome combines with an egg, which contains an X-chromosome, to produce an individual with either XX or XY genetics. If the genes associated with the Y-chromosome are present and functional, then development will proceed to create male physiology. If these genes are not present or are dysfunctional, then regardless of whether

there is one X-chromosome or several, development will proceed down the female pathway. Part of this pathway includes what are called bipotential or undifferentiated gonads, which form during the fourth week post-fertilization and are the structures from which either male or female gonads form.

Starting in the sixth week post-fertilization, these structures begin to differentiate along male or female lines depending on whether the genetic signals to develop into a male are present or not. Either male gonads (testes) or female gonads (ovaries) develop. The presence or absence of testes drives the rest of sexual differentiation. If testes are present, development proceeds along the male track. If testes are absent, development proceeds along the female track. 

 Although things may go awry in this process, at no point is there a third track. Likewise, although sexual development can proceed abnormally and may lead to unintended, largely dysfunctional combinations of male and female traits, it never leads to a third sex with its own physiologic function. Fetal development produces males and females, not all of which are entirely healthy and sexually functional, but there are no asexual, neuter forms of humanity.

Recently, intersex has been defined quite broadly so that even minor abnormalities in the genitourinary system, which do not result in any genital ambiguity, are included.  An oft-quoted statistic states that 1.7% of the population is intersex. (See Leonard Sax, “How Common Is Intersex? A Response to Anne Fausto-Sterling,” Journal of Sex Research 39, no. 3 [August 1, 2002]).

However, when limited to the relevant sexually ambiguous cases, it has been estimated to be 0.018% of the population. (Ibid). Science confirms there are two, and only two, biological sexes, not three or more.

How Common is Transgenderism and What Causes It?

Prior to the year 2010, transgenderism was very rare. One study showed an overall prevalence among

adolescents and adults of 4.6 per 100,000. (See J. Arcelus et al., “Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prevalence Studies in Transsexualism,” European Psychiatry 30, no. 6 [September 2015]).

 In the mid-2010s, however, the prevalence of overall LGBTQ identification began to skyrocket. In a 2021 Gallup poll, 15% of adult Gen Zers (born 1997–2003) identified as bisexual and 2.1% as transgender. (See Jeffrey Jones, “LGBT Identification in U.S. Ticks Up to 7.1%,” Gallup, February 7, 2022, news.gallup.com/poll/389792/lgbt-identification-ticks-up.aspx). A 2021 Barna survey showed an even higher percentage: 39% of 18 to 24-year-olds identified as LGBT. (See George Barna, “New Insights into the Generation of Growing Influence: Millennials In America,” Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University (October 2021), arizonachristian.edu/wp-content/ uploads/2021/10/George-Barna-Millennial-Report-2021-FINAL-Web.pdf). 

Transgender ideologists will often attribute the cause of this massive surge to...being left-handed (!) "Even as the discrimination against left-handed people abated, more of them came out, as they were no longer afraid of the stigma and forcing themselves to be right-handed. That explains the rise in LGBTQ+ persons because society is more accepting, " they will sanctimoniously intone. However, is that true? The facts show otherwise. 

The factors causing transgenderism are complicated to sort out since there’s a lack of evidence for what, exactly, is transgenderism. There is no agreed-upon explanation, and there are likely multiple contributory factors. In childhood-onset GD, evidence supports the following:

• There may be a genetic component, although it is not determinative.
• Stereotypical masculine and feminine behaviors exhibit along a spectrum. Those with gender atypical behavior in childhood are more likely to identify as transgender.
• There is no scientific basis for sex discordance between the brain and the body. A newborn boy already has a masculinized brain due to the effects of testosterone during in-utero development.
• Studies to date indicate that brain activity in transgender persons is closer to that of their birth sex than their perceived gender. 

In people with adolescent-onset transgenderism, also known as ROGD, there are many associated factors, including mental illness, peer group influence, and social media.  Professor of psychiatry Paul McHugh observed in his clinic a group that consisted of conflicted and guilt-ridden homosexual men who saw sex change as a way to resolve their inner conflict about being homosexual. (See Paul R. McHugh, “Surgical Sex: Why We Stopped Doing Sex Change Operations,” First Things (November

2004), firstthings.com/article/2004/11/surgical-sex). 

Multiple studies have found a higher rate of mental illness in people who identify as transgender. In one study, almost 50% of those pursuing gender-affirming treatment had at least one personality disorder (PD) at presentation, most commonly borderline PD.(See Annalisa Anzani et al., “Personality Disorders and Personality Profiles in a Sample of Transgender Individuals Requesting Gender-Affirming Treatments,” International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 17, no. 5 [February 27, 2020]). Autism is also more common in young people with gender identity issues.

A systematic review in 2019 also showed a high rate of mental illness in adults presenting as transgender, including major depressive disorder (20.6%), specific phobia (10%), adjustment disorder (5.7%), generalized anxiety disorder (4.8%), and dysthymia (a mood disorder, 4.8%). (See Larissa Dias de Freitas et al., “Psychiatric Disorders in Individuals Diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria: A Systematic Review,” Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences 74, no. 2 [February 2020]). 

When quacks ("doctors") want to push "gender-affirming care" which will ruin someone's life, they will ask parents and/or loved ones, "Would you rather have a living (daughter/mother/female friend, etc) or a dead (son/father/male friend, etc)? Remember this: Over the long term, mental illness is significantly elevated in people who identify as transgender, whether or not so-called "gender-affirming care" is rendered. Also, the suicide rate is significantly elevated in the transgender population, whether or not gender-affirming care is provided. (See Cecilia Dhejne et al., “Long-Term Follow-Up of Transsexual Persons Undergoing Sex Reassignment Surgery: Cohort Study in Sweden,” PLoS One 6, no. 2 [February 22, 2011]). 

Speak the Truth and Get Cancelled

Rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) is mainly characterized by the age of onset during or shortly after puberty, predominantly in females. ROGD was proposed as a new classification of gender

dysphoria in a 2018 landmark article by physician-scientist Lisa Littman. Littman noted that parents in online discussion groups were reporting that their adolescent and young adult (AYA) children who had no history of GD experienced a perceived sudden or rapid onset of GD. She describes the sample of people in her study as “distinctively different than what is described in previous research about gender dysphoria because of the distribution of cases occurring in friendship groups with multiple individuals identifying as transgender, the preponderance of adolescent (natal) females, the absence of childhood gender dysphoria, and the perceived suddenness of onset.” (See . Lisa Littman, “Parent Reports of Adolescents and Young Adults Perceived to Show Signs of a Rapid Onset of Gender Dysphoria,” PLoS One 13, no. 8 [August 16, 2018]). 

In Littman’s study, a high percentage (62.5%) of adolescents and young adults identifying as transgender had at least one preexisting mental health or neurodevelopment disorder. A majority had high expectations that transitioning would solve their problems in social, academic, occupational, or mental health realms. The study also noted an association with a traumatic and stressful event (48.4%), an increase in social media use (63.5%), and belonging to a peer group in which at least one peer came out as transgender (69.3%). Littman’s hypothesis for explaining the phenomenon of ROGD included social influences, parental conflict, and maladaptive coping mechanisms. 

Littman received vituperative hate and rage for daring to say ROGD is learned behavior and stems from mental health issues and environmental causes. She was forced to print a retraction of sorts, in which she did not retract her findings or hypothesis based on those findings. A comparable study by professor of psychology Michael Bailey of Northwestern University received similar backlash (See J.

Michael Bailey, “My Research on Gender Dysphoria Was Censored. But I Won’t Be,” The Free Press ( July 10, 2023), thefp.com/p/trans-activists-killed-my-scientific-paper.). 

As Dr. Bailey himself wrote:

On March 29, I published an article in the prestigious academic journal Archives of Sexual Behavior. Less than three months later, on June 14, it was retracted by Springer Nature Group, the giant academic publisher of Archives, for an alleged violation of its editorial policies.

Retraction of scientific articles is associated with well-deserved shame: plagiarism, making up data, or grave concerns about the scientific integrity of a study. But my article was not retracted for any shameful reason. It was retracted because it provided evidence for an idea that activists hate. (Ibid; Emphasis mine). 

The concept of ROGD became even more publicized with the book Irreversible Damage by Abigail Shrier. Shrier suggests that access to smartphones and social media in a population of young girls experiencing mental health crises has fueled ROGD. Read how she was cancelled by the "Lavender Lobby:"

What Should Be Done About Transgenderism?

Transgenderism, when imposed on those under 18, is really legalized child abuse. We don't allow kids to drink alcohol under age 21, but now the medical-politically-correct establishment will make a confused adolescent "transition" rather than be treated for mental illness. As the incidence of GD has skyrocketed, so has the number of gender clinics. Although a parent should reasonably expect their child with GD to receive a thorough evaluation and to be presented with the least invasive options first, this is not what is occurring. Most gender identity treatment centers utilize the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) guidelines, which ascribe to the gender affirmative model (GAM) of care. 

Surgeries for females who desire to appear male may include mastectomy, hysterectomy, removal of ovaries, construction of a “penis” (metoidioplasty or phalloplasty), and implantation of artificial testicles. Surgeries for males who desire to appear female include genital surgery, breast augmentation, vocal cord surgery, throat surgery, and facial feminization surgery. These surgical interventions are not only fraught with complications and difficulties, but they result in permanent disfigurement and detrimental effects on sexual and genitourinary function. Add to this the side-effects of the cross-sex hormones and the increased mortality rates. 

Although one should expect that such drastic interventions should be based on high-quality evidence of benefit, this is hardly the case. The evidence for any benefit from these interventions is of very low quality. Long-term studies are lacking, and there are no randomized, controlled trials.

The Denial of Reality is Here

If one engages in non-heterosexual activities, what one does as a male or female violates God’s wise commands, but the fundamental ontology of maleness and femaleness remains in place and assumed. Not so with gender ideology, which assumes that ontology is entirely fluid and dependent on one’s erotic will. This insistent ideology further demands that third parties identify the transgender person as that person sees fit. To do otherwise is to “misgender” someone, which is taken to be as horrible as using a racial epithet. Thus, to inaccurately identify another person’s sex is considered hateful and may cost the offender their livelihood. Sodomites deny the Natural Law. Transgender ideology denies basic reality itself. Biology does not apply. Transgender ideology is destroying an entire generation, physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is the purposeful propagation of mental illness and perverted behavior. 

Bergoglio: Promoter of Perverts and the Denial of Reality

The record speaks for itself

July 2022: Pope Francis shows that he understands sexuality in more interpersonal and psychological ways. Francis explicitly connects sexuality to affectivity and relatedness, acknowledging that sex and gender are more connected to who and how a person loves another.

July 2022: Pope Francis holds a private audience at the Vatican with six trans women of “different cultural and social backgrounds.” One of the women calls this meeting an “important message” for Pride.

August 2022: Pope Francis meets with another group of transgender people who have been cared for by a parish church in Rome.

September 2022: Pope Francis meets with a group of Italian LGBTQ+ advocates to discuss building a more inclusive church, telling them to seek a church “that excludes no one.”

September 2022: For a community of trans women in Italy, finding welcome at a Catholic church—and from Pope Francis himself—has been life changing. 

July 2023: On a podcast answering young people’s messages, Pope Francis tells a transgender youth that “God loves us as we are.”

August 2023: At the World Youth Day opening ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal, Pope Francis says that “in the church, there is room for everyone,” leading the young pilgrims in a chant of “Todos, todos, todos!” which many interpret as including LGBTQ+ people.

August 2023: Pope Francis tells a transgender women that they “are daughters of God” and that God loves them as they are. 

(See https://www.newwaysministry.org/resources/pope-francis-lgbtq-issues/). 

That God loves us as we are, insofar as we are Created by Him,  CONCEDED. That He loves us without changing our lives and doing His Will, DENIED. 

Of course, who can forget, December 2023 when Fiducia Supplicans allowed Vatican II sect "priests" to "bless" same-sex couples and other couples who are not married according to Church teaching. 

Conclusion

Transgenderism needs to be treated as the mental illness it is, and all "gender-affirming" therapies outlawed. All homosexual activity must be criminalized once more. If serious measures are not taken, society will crumble even more quickly.  Once the created categories of male and female have been abandoned, along with the idea of the Fall, then anything goes concerning sexual identity and sexual activity (as long as the sex acts are consensual, says the secular "wisdom"). The sky is the limit when the heavens are emptied of God.  Earth becomes a new kind of "inclusive and diverse" madhouse. The Wisdom of God speaks thus: “For those who find Me find life and receive favor from the Lord. But those who fail to find Me harm themselves; all who hate Me love death” (Proverbs 8:35–36).
