New York Times har overraskende også erkendt, at trans-bølgen er toppet og på vej til at blive rullet tilbage. IO en længere artikel, der desværre er bag en betalingsmur, hæfter man sig ved den tænkning der har drevet dette absurde og ondsindede fænomen, og de konsekvenser det har, for de mange ofre, nu der fremkommer flere og flere, der har fortrudt.
“I felt so detached from my body, and the way it was developing flet hostile to me”, Powell told me. It was classic gender dysphoria, a feeling of discomfort with your sex.
Reading about transgender people online, Powel believed that the reason she didn’t feel comfortable in her body was that she was in the wrong body. Transitioning seemed like the obvious solution. The narrative that she’d heard and absorbed was that if you don’t transition, you’ll kill yourself.
At no point during her medical or surgical transition, Powell says, did anyone ask her about the reasons behind her gender dysphoria or her depression. At no point was she asked about her sexual orientation. And at no point was she asked about any previous trauma, and so neither the therapists nor the doctors ever learned that she’d been sexually abused as a child.
“I wish there had been more open conversations,” Powell, now 23 and transitioned, told me. “But I was told there is one cure and one thing to do if this is your problem, and this will help you”
Logikken i “always affirm”, som præger tidsånden efterlader også forældre og samvittighedsfulde myndighedspersoner hjælpeløse mod at gribe ind overfor det kirurgiske og medicinske overgreb mod især jeg-svage, autistiske og latent homosexuelle børn og unge.
A report commissioned by the National Health Service about Britain’s Tavistock gender clinic, wich, until it was ordered to be shut down, was the country’s only health center dedicated to gender identity, noted that “primary and secondary care staff have told us that they feel under pressure to adopt an unquestioning affirmative approach and that this is at odds with the standard process of clinical assessment and diagnosis that they have been trained to undertake in all other clinical encounters”.
Of the dozens of students she trained as psychologists, Edwards-Leeper said, few still seem to providing gender-related care. While her students have left the field for various reasons, “some have told me that they didn’t feel that they could continue because of the pushback, the accusations of being transphobic, from being pro-assessment and wanting a more thorough process,” she said.

Most parents and clinicians are simply trying to do what they think is best for the children involved. But parents with qualms about the current model of care are frustrated by what they see as a lack of options.
Parents told me it was a struggle to balance the desire to compassionately support a child with gender dysphoria while seeking the best psychological and medical care. Many believed their kids where gay or dealing with an array of complicated issues. But all said they felt compelled by gender clinicians, doctors, schools and social pressure to accede to their child’s declared gender identity even when they had serious doubts. They feared it would tear apart their family if they didn’t unquestioningly support social transition and medical treatment. All asked to speak anonymously, sp desperate were they to maintain or repair any relationship with their children, some of whom were currently estranged.
One mother described a meeting with 12 other parents in a support group for relatives of trans-identified youth where all of the participants described as autistic or otherwise neurodivergent. To all questions, the woman running the meetingreplied, “Just let them transition”. The mother left in shock. How would hormones help a child with obsessive-compulsive disorder or depression, she wondered.
“Would you rather have a living son or dead daughter?” er et typisk spørgsmål fra specialister, der tjener deres penge ved at skamfere børn og unge.
Parents are routinely warned that to pursue any path outside of agreeing to their child’s self-declared gender identity is to put a gender dysphoric youth at risk for suicide, wich feels to many people like emotionally blackmail. Proponents of the gender affirming model have cited studies showing an association between the standard of care and a lower risk of suicide. But those studies were found to have methodological flaws or have been deemed not entirely conclusive. A survey of studies of the psychological effects of cross-sex hormones, published three years ago in The Journal of Endocrine Society, the professional organization for hormone specialists found it “could not draw any conclusions about death by suicide”.
NYTs artikel bruger noget tid på at understrege at mange børn og unge, der vil blive homosexuelle, er målgruppen, for denne ideologiske bevægelse. Det virker som en omvendelse af homosexuelle og som en formulerede det “I was a gay man pumped up to look like a woman and dated a lesbian who was pumped up to look like a man. If that’s not conversion therapy, I don’t know what is”.
En anden fortæller, at selv om hun blev forskrækket over udsigten til at få fjernet sine bryster som 17 årig, lod hun det ske alligevel. “Transition felt like a way to control something when I couldn’t control anything in my life”. Mennesker med psykiske lidelser prøver ofte at få en følelse af kontrol over deres eget liv gennem en eller anden form for ortoreksi (ideen om den rette spise). Derfor finder man mange vegetarer og veganere på psykiatriske intensive afsnit.
Da hun fortrød flere år senere, fordi hendes mentale helbred blev værre, blev hun angrebet af trans-influencere, som fremkom med trusler og kaldte hende skaldet og grim. Det er værd at lægge mærke til, for når man hader andre mennesker, angriber man dem der hvor man tror de bliver mest sårede. Angrebet på udseendet er angrebet på den måde, man fremstår for andre mennesker, ens plads i fællesskabet. NYT slutter sin artikel med Garcia-Ryan, der er bøsse, men
…as a boy, he said, “it was much less threatening to my psyche to think that I was a straight girl born into the wrong body – that I had a medical condition, that could be tended to.” When he visited a clinic at 15, the clinician immediately affirmed he was female, and rather than exploring his reasons for mental distress, simply confirmed Garcia-Ryan’s belief that he was not meant to be a man.
Once in college, he began medically transitioning and eventually had surgery on his genitals. Severe medical complications from both the surgery and hormone medication led him to reconsider what he had done, and to retransition. He also reconsidered the basis of gender affirmation, which, as a licensed clinical social worker at a gender cliniche had been trained in and provided to clients.
Med en svag jeg-følelse, er man helt afhængig af andres opfattelse og derfor der man også de mange hysteriske reaktioner på ‘forkert’ brug af pronominer. Man er ikke sit eget køn, og derved sig selv, nu man har bildt sig ind, eller forbryderisk blevet bildt ind, at kønnet er identiteten, hvis ikke omgivelserne anerkender det. Man er intet i sin egen ret. Man er ikke givet. Man er ikke skabt af Gud.
En ‘de-transitioner’ udtrykte det således ved en høring
“We need to stop telling 12-year-olds that they were born wrong, that they are right to reject their own bodies and feel uncomfortable with their own skin,” said Cole, who told lawmakers Thursday that she felt uncomfortable during puberty and told her parents at that age that she wanted to transition and become a boy. “We need to stop telling children that puberty is an option. That they can choose what kind of puberty they will go through just [like] they can choose what clothes to wear or music to listen to.
“Puberty is a rite of passage to adulthood, not a disease to be mitigated,” she added. “Today, I should be at home with my family, celebrating my 19th birthday, and instead I’m making a desperate plea to my representatives: Learn the lessons from other medical scandals like the opioid crisis to recognize that doctors are human too. And sometimes they are wrong.”
For nogle er det også en form for oprør, at være en del af en subkultur “like being goth”. Unge gennemgår ofte allehånde faser med deres identitet og det kan være svært for dem at indse, hvis de skulle vælge forkert. Så hvis de først tror de tilhører det andet køn, er det samtidig en bindende beslutning de foretager, som den af NYT føromtalte unge pige, der fik fjernet sine bryster, selv om hun kunne ane, at det var en overilet beslutning.
“The job of children and adolescents is to experiment and explore where they fit into the world, and a big part of that exploration, especially during adolescence, is around their sense of identity,” Sasha Ayad, a licensed counselor based in Phoenix, told me. “Children that age often present with a great deal of certainty and urgency about who they believe they are at the time and things they would like to do in order to enact that sense of identity”.
