Even as hard science inches closer to pin-pointing the physical and genetic facts linking trans-whatever-isms and other sexual abnormalities to all other mental illnesses – a link formerly made on the basis of simple observation – the nuts continue to use children as pawns in their game of destroying society.

Children serve as a useful moral shield for transgender activists, deflecting questions and criticism. The very existence of trans children lends support to their claim that people are born with a sense of gender identity, that sometimes a male brain develops in a female body and vice versa. The figure of the trans child, now ingrained in the popular imagination, makes it seem as if transgender people have always existed. This, in turn, lends further weight to the argument that being transgender is an innate characteristic. Inventing Transgender Children and Young People, a new book edited by Michele Moore and Heather Brunskell-Evans, shatters each of the convenient myths that have built up around the transgender child.

Inventing Transgender Children includes contributions from academics, psychiatrists and parents, as well as young adults who transitioned as children but are now questioning the process they underwent. Together, they show that far from being an ever-present biological reality, transgenderism is an entirely invented concept with no basis in neuroscience, psychology or psychiatry. They argue that there is little evidence to support claims that brains are sexed, and no evidence whatsoever to suggest that some fetuses develop with mismatched brains and bodies. In fact, they note, ‘The idea that transgenderism is an internal, pre-social phenomenon that has existed throughout history is not an evidenced fact, but a proposition’. And far from being a long-standing proposition, it was only around five years ago that the existence of the transgender child became widely accepted.

…

Hiding behind children, especially children who are both victims and revolutionaries, may be useful for transgender activists intent on promoting their own ideology. But, as the contributors to Inventing Transgender Children make clear, it has devastating consequences for children, who are not only exploited by activists, but also by some teachers, doctors, social workers and psychiatrists – the very people meant to protect them from harm.

Schools and social workers using, abusing children. Imagine that. Millstones.

Running Out of Time

cross country, mental illness, NCAA, society, sports, trans "rights"

In times gone by, the mentally ill were at best, cared for and, at worst, they were maligned. Today, they are allowed to run wild, literally governing the asylum. At best, this makes a mockery of our culture and society; at worst, it destroys the culture and society. Sports! News!: NCAA Says Man is Woman of the Week:

The Big Sky Conference named University of Montana runner June Eastwood, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, the cross-country female athlete of the week.

“June Eastwood finished second in a field of 204 runners at the Santa Clara Bronco Invitational,” helping “Montana place seventh as a team,” the conference noted in its announcement Tuesday. Eastwood previously competed on the University of Montana’s men’s team.

Conservatives out in conservative, cowboy-land Montana couldn’t even conserve the girls’ track team. Mr. Eastwood may use athletic tape and take hormones. Those measures partially address two of the 6,000 differences between male and female. Many of the rest reside in the brain. I wonder what a scan of Eastwood’s would show us? If you happen to have a daughter who competes in a sport(s), then this might be of slight interest to you. No, I’m not talking to you, Cleetus, on the couch in a drunken stupor before your TeeVee god. Sane people of the West, do you want your daughter’s placed at an “intolerable” disadvantage on the track or the field?

That’s the muddled conclusion of a paper in the Journal of Medical Ethics.

The inclusion of elite transwomen athletes in sport is controversial. The recent International Olympic Committee (IOC) (2015) guidelines allow transwomen to compete in the women’s division if (amongst other things) their testosterone is held below 10 nmol/L. This is significantly higher than that of cis-women. Science demonstrates that high testosterone and other male physiology provides a performance advantage in sport suggesting that transwomen retain some of that advantage. To determine whether the advantage is unfair necessitates an ethical analysis of the principles of inclusion and fairness. Particularly important is whether the advantage held by transwomen is a tolerable or intolerable unfairness. We conclude that the advantage to transwomen afforded by the IOC guidelines is an intolerable unfairness. This does not mean transwomen should be excluded from elite sport but that the existing male/female categories in sport should be abandoned in favour of a more nuanced approach satisfying both inclusion and fairness.

More “conservatives,” surely. They see the problem, plain as day. But, they just can’t help but trip over all the PC bullshit. Nuances, inclusion, fairness, diversity, and equality do not work. Yet and still, I assume that just about everyone will quietly tolerate the intolerable. It’s our greatest strength.

So, congratulations to Mr. Eastwood! And to the University of Montana, which I identify as a failed school.

The “Russia” Fixation

2020, Hillary Clinton, just sad, mental illness, Russia, Tulsi Gabbard

Hillary Clinton has “Russia, Russia, Russia” on the brain and it’s just not going away. Yes, we now know – thank you, Madam Secretary – that Tulsi Gabbard, like Donald Trump before her, is a Russian plant…

Hillary Clinton said that Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is being groomed by Moscow to run as a third-party spoiler candidate in 2020 to help President Trump win reelection.

The former secretary of state pushed the theory on Campaign HQ podcast hosted by David Plouffe, President Barack Obama’s campaign manager in 2008.

Plouffe and Clinton discussed hurdles the Democratic nominee would face and compared the 2020 race to Clinton’s loss to Trump in 2016. Plouffe asked Clinton about the part third-party candidates, such as Jill Stein of the Green Party, played in 2016, allowing Trump to secure key states.

“They are also going to do third party again,” Clinton, 71, said. “I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate,” Clinton said, referring to Gabbard, without mentioning the Hawaii representative by name.

“She is a favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. That’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she is also a Russian asset.

Jill Stein too… How very sad. Mrs. Clinton has an illness. Maybe she thinks that will help her dark horse her way into 2020. Sad…

But, unlike conservatives, The very lovely Mrs. Gabbard is ready for a fight.

Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard fired back this afternoon at Hillary Clinton over comments she made suggesting the Hawaii congresswoman and 2020 candidate is being groomed by the Russians.

Clinton said in a recent interview, of the Russians, “I think they’ve got their eye somebody who’s currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She’s a favorite of the Russians.”

When asked by NBC News if this was a reference to Gabbard, a Clinton spokesperson responded, “If the nesting doll fits…”

Gabbard responded this afternoon, calling Clinton, “the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long.”

Corruption? What corruption?

If it’s a straight fight between the Hottie and the Hag, my money’s on Surfer Girl!

The College Basket Case

college, deep decline, education, higher education, mental illness, society

As I’ve pointed out a few times before, the American education system is, by and large, broken, from kindergarten to graduate school. A new survey reveals the magnitude of the underlying issues facing the modern college student.

A 2018 survey at 140 educational institutions asked almost 90,000 college students about their health over the past 12 months. The survey found that more than three in five (63%) respondents reported experiencing “overwhelming anxiety” in the past year, while two in five (42%) reported feeling “so depressed that it was difficult to function.” Students also reported that anxiety (27%), sleep difficulties (22%) and depression (19%) had adversely affected their academic performance.

In the same survey, 12% of college students reported having “seriously considered suicide.” Another study, which looked at college students with depression, anxiety and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who had been referred by college counseling centers for psychopharmacological evaluation, found that the same proportion—12%—had actually made at least one suicide attempt. Half of the students in the latter study had previously received a prescription for medication, most often antidepressants.

Colleges are feeling the squeeze, with demand growing nationally for campus mental health services. A study by Penn State’s Center for Collegiate Mental Health reported an average 30% to 40% increase in students’ use of counseling centers between 2009 and 2015 at a time when enrollment grew by just 5%. According to Penn State’s report, the “increase in demand is primarily characterized by a growing frequency of students with a lifetime prevalence of threat-to-self indicators.”

This is a system terminally out of control. The schools and their students are mirrors, reflecting a changed, fractured, and fragmented culture and society. Our enemies have done their jobs well, over many decades. None of this will be fixed soon nor easily.

Ariana Grande’s Brain Highlights Physical Nature of Mental Illness

Ariana Grande, celebrities, mental illness, PTSD

More celebrities should have their heads examined.

In an interview with British Vogue in June last year, Ariana said her PTSD is “a real thing”.

It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss … I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of [PTSD] as well. I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience – like I shouldn’t even say anything. I don’t think I’ll ever know how to talk about it and not cry.

On Thursday, she shared a screenshot to her Instagram storyshowing a scan of her brain, which appears to show a number of areas affected by PTSD.

Many, if not most, “mental” health issues have a physical root cause in the brain structure. All the talk and all the suicide-inducing dope in the world will not begin to address it.

Screenshot 2019-04-12 at 2.53.09 PM

The place to start is with a neurologist. Have a brain scan. Then, several treatments show great promise for many cases. There’s the newer wonder of Transcranial Magnetic Therapy and the good old help of lithium.

It’s all in the head the same way a broken bone is all in the arm.

I’ve never listened to anything this young woman has said or sang but I do wish her the best with this.
