And evolutionary biology and science rear their heads:
More children and adolescents are identifying as transgender and are being offered medical treatment, especially in the US—but some providers and European authorities are urging caution because of a lack of strong evidence. Jennifer Block reports
And:
And:
Guyatt, who co-developed GRADE, found “serious problems” with the Endocrine Society guidelines, noting that the systematic reviews didn’t look at the effect of the interventions on gender dysphoria itself, arguably “the most important outcome.” He also noted that the Endocrine Society had at times paired strong recommendations—phrased as “we recommend”—with weak evidence. In the adolescent section, the weaker phrasing “we suggest” is used for pubertal hormone suppression when children “first exhibit physical changes of puberty”; however, the stronger phrasing is used to “recommend” GnRHa treatment.
And, in Scandinavia:
The Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board, (NHIB/UKOM) has deemed puberty blockers, cross-sex-hormones & surgery for children & young people experimental, determining that the current “gender-affirmative” guidelines are not evidence-based and must be revised. /1
"Transgenderism", in the fashion, at any rate, it's boosted by the political left just frankly really doesn't exist.l What does exist is mental illness, and this is a symptom of a mental illness, doubtless different in men than women. But in the world of the "progressive", we've gone to a state where we define our own reality, which in turn, is the epitome of anti reality. Fantasy is elevated, so that cries for help or distress cannot be heard.
At the end of the day, this is in some ways the ultimate result of October 31, 1517. On that date, what began as a questioning evolved ultimately into a revolution, defeating its own original thesis pretty quickly. Questing perceived abuses, and being concerned about actual ones, lead to a radical proposition, that being that we are not subject to any larger existential authority, but can define the nature of an existential authority on our own. That lead to endless redefinitions, and cemented in, north of the Rhine and west of the Channel, the concept that individuals defined what was existential, not metaphysics.
From there it was only a matter of time that, when wealth and science allowed for it, that those cultures adopting the revolution of 1517 would ultimately reject any concept of the existential at all, and instead go to it being all internal. Each person would be their own god, at the end of the day, defining a reality which everyone else must acknowledge. With no external to be considered, no existential standard would exist.
Pundits of the Robert Reich ilk like to claim that the opponents of progressives are fascinated by sex, when in fact the opposite is really the truth. Progressivism, in a very real sense, only cares about sex in the crudest, most pornographic, terms and in tying people to employment. That's pretty much it. You'll serve your corporate master, who will be taxed heavily to make you feel better about it, and then go home to your apartment and look at yourself, your own individual special being, a they, them, it, he and she.
Problem is, none of it is real. And those crying for help keep crying.
A shooting just recently in Colorado Springs was by a person who claimed to be "non-binary". In Denver, another shooter identified as transgender. The recent Aberdeen shooter did as well. The Ulvade shooter pretty clearly was, although the press avoided stating it plainly.
Prior shootings, mostly by males, have tended to almost all be by men who placed on "the spectrum". A recent shooting by a minor was by a child who was such, who had been forced into school on the popular basis that you can socialize people out of organic conditions.
In the 60s, the Who released The Kids Are Alright, which went:
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright, the kids are alright, the kids are alright
The song was sort of about rebellion, and sort of not. The Who was basically safetly rebelling in the song, as the rebellion was against a standard they were implicitly adopting and leaning up.
Well, the kids aren't alright anymore.
Because ignoring reality and the cries of the desperate isn't alright.
