Another great post! The person who wrote that ridiculous article in Psychology Today is a Ph.D., which begs the question "What is intelligence?" One can have a doctorate and be very intelligent, but one can accomplish that doctorate by getting all the appropriate stamps on the ticket without actually learning much. He starts out with referring to the story of Adam and Eve as "problematic" and talks about "breeding certainty." Ironically, some males let the fear of unknown paternity consume them, and they create more problems with the steps taken to have "certainty that their offspring were indeed theirs." I believe the all-consuming, irrational fear and resentment this breeds (pun intended) is the root of this social malaise. I say irrational because most birth certificates correctly state paternity, yet we have the male Trans-humanists trying to create a lab uterus to control the one thing men don't control. In this they are the same as the fringe religious who would put chastity belts or burqas on all fertile females, with threat of banishment and/or a flogging for straying.
Superb article, it makes the difficult case of trans contradictions seem easy breezy to describe.
I would add: the origin and continued propagation of.the gender fiction is via Psychiatry. Not media, not queer studies, not politics, not trans, not social media or the internet, not postmodernism, not linguistics.
It is Psychiatry at a medieval level totally lacking in science, the kind of psychiatry which works with demonic possession and trepanning skulls.
Became of this we face the single psychiatric condition requiring surgical removal of healthy tissue for “treatment”, and the only psychiatric condition requiring the rest of world to conform to a patient’s delusion. Therein lies the linguistic malformations - the corruption of purpose in modeling reality we use language for, by inducting a delusion in its structure.
All children have distress as their body changes abruptly during puberty, since maintaing integrity is a survival mechanism. Growing hair and lumps can be awful things in other contexts. 99.992% of the time they grow out of the distress as their mind adjusts to reality. We evolved to do so, just not all at the same speed. That's what tree he proper role of psychiatry seems to have lost, helping people cope with reality.
