This is a well written (while scathing) editorial on Jazz Jennings.
We're now far enough along, in this transgender thing, that Jazz' surgeon was a boy who became a girl, years earlier.
I believe we came from divine origins, with gender assigned at birth, and I believe we are now both physically and emotionally grooming mostly white middle-class socially disenfranchised girls want to be "cisgender" or "non-binary" or "transgender" or any of the never-ending list of "genders."
But sometimes it’s not social conditioning. What made a boy feel like he was a girl, in preschool? Was it vaccines, injecting the DNA of a girl into a baby boy?
Before the epidemic of junior-high aged white girls wanting to change something, we had occasional little boys who didn't feel like boys.
I knew a little girl who at 18 months old insisted she was a boy, would not wear a dress to church, and is now a 19-year-old who looks very much like a young man.
Much like Jazz Jennings looks exactly like a girl and woman.
The little girl’s mother was my best friend for 20 years, and my employee for 10 years.
As much cultural conditioning as there is—you go from zero to hero at school, if you're a girl nobody sees, to a “trans” boy. And if you're Jazz Jennings (or influencer Dylan Mulvaney), you're celebrated by the entire trans community.
But for decades, we also had these anomalous boys who wanted to be girls. (And vice versa, like my friend's child. A Utah charter school allowed her to use the faculty bathroom, and were kind to her as she headed into puberty blockers and surgeries, despite that county being very conservative.)
I knew this 19-year-old since she was a baby, and she was consistently, adamantly, ferociously a boy in her own mind, until hormones and surgery made it look that way. As a girl, she was suicidal.
This child's mother became a huge activist for acceptance of transgender kids. I shared an Audible account with her for years, and saw all the books she read, on woke ideologies. I watched her go from a Christian home-schooling married mom–to marrying a woman, and helping her daughter “transition” from girl to boy.
Our relationship came to an end, in 2020, as her hard-Left ideology came to blows with my fury at the lockdown of Americans, the mask mandates, the shutdown of small businesses. (I owned one, and she was second in command.)
I’d tell our staff why they were being lied to by the media. She’d tell them to wave a hanky out the window on Thursday afternoons, to thank our “Front-Line Heroes.”
What I want to know, outside the obvious trendy cultural conditioning that comes much later, is what makes a 3-year-old feel she's trapped in the wrong gender's body?
Maybe God Himself will have to tell us that, someday. Science and Medicine seems to have no interest in finding out why. They’ve just created a new industry around gender reassignment.
And now we have young adults deeply regretful about the hormonal and surgical changes they made, when they were a confused pre-teen. (Having raised four children through that phase of life, isn’t confusion and insecurity a normal part of adolescence? Is it wise to make permanent, life-altering decisions about your body, before you’re 18? The trans movement says, “you have to start altering the hormones in adolescence, for it to be successful.”)
And the doctors in this industry say that the hormone therapy is “totally reversible.” The human endocrine system doesn’t flip, on a switch.
We now have gruesome stories, Jazz Jenner’s being one of them, about constantly bleeding, painful, and infected wounds the “gender reassignment” surgeries create. In the attempt at surgical imitations of the genitalia of the other gender.
And the trans movement doesn’t want you to wonder why–just accept it already, dammit.
As a man is given the Woman of the Year trophy, and biological men are winning in women’s sports. A few lonely feminist voices are finally speaking up.
About how much ground women are losing to men–again–100 years after women won the right to vote, 120 years after they could own property. How can you advocate for women, when the definition of “what is a woman?” is up for debate?
Dylan Mulvaney, a very entertaining, likeable figure, hasn’t made the transition from male to female yet, but chronicles his adventures being a girl, with a massive, rabid following.
Nike and Bud Lite have decided he’s their new poster child. Some country music stars and many Bud Lite and Nike customers are revolting.
All more conditioning of the people to the level of moral degeneracy and social confusion, than possibly any time in history since Sodom and Gomorrah. And all more social division, putting us in camps at war with each other.
I may be deeply concerned about the emotional health of our kids, and I may question the ethics of gender reassignment for kids, but I have known and loved many gay, bisexual, and transgendered people, so I don’t want the division.
I just want girls’ and women’s sports to be for them, and for children to be safe from sexualization and Big Medicine.
Before middle-class white girls in junior high school wanting en masse to be boys or other newly minted “genders”–most of the previously rare “transgender” kids were boys who weren’t fitting into “boy culture.”
Over 80% of them went on to resolve Gender Identity Disorder, becoming mostly gay men.
But in 2013, the psychology and helping professions eliminated Gender Identity Disorder from the DSM-V, and left only “Gender Dysphoria,” to eliminate the stigma of “disorder.”
We've had gay people (and animals) since forever. What did we do to human beings, to make tiny little people hate their bodies and want a different one? That's new–or at least, it’s 2,000 times more common. Why?

Dear Robyn,
That is a very interesting point. Around 2016, this was rising in my middle school, and a young colleague remarked, 'Where did this all come from all of a sudden? I never heard about it in college" (and she was about one year out). Has there been an explosion of gender dysphoria in youth? Is there a chemical constituent of this situation? So I now must ask, "What new vaxxes were given to children starting around 2002-3?"
Robyn - Good questions. I suggest the answers to "why" some young people lean this way or that in terms of gender and sexual attractions, I suggest the one answer book I find that puts things into real perspective - the Bible. It portrays us as all having inherited various sinful tendencies and areas of strengths and weaknesses built into our souls from birth. Each one a unique blend. But the Bible doesn't stop by showing us the nature of sin within each of us which longs for any number of perverse expressions, beginning with prideful selfishness/ambtion and preoccupation with self, and going on from there. But it completes the picture by revealing the solution and presenting the Deliverer, and there could be no other explanation nor counsel for our questions about our own tendencies than to gather God's revealed wisdom of truth to ourselves and begin to apply these God-given resources of truth by faith and let God do what only God can do with our own very fractured and cracked pots of clay. We keep on trying to bend the rules to adapt, but truth never changes. It is a constant, and it does not originate from within one's self, but resides in God Who IS Truth. He's inviting us into fellowship, but we somehow think He will bend the truth to accomodate what only grace and mercy can accomodate. I knew from the moment we legitimized gay marriage that we were on a fast tract to destroy God's design of humanity and family, and I told my wife that transgenderism and bestiality would soon follow, along with every other form of perversion of God's great design for people. Totally predictable, and it didn't take long. Why can't people connect the dots?? I suspect it has to do with rejection of the one Law Giver Who can't be bought, co-opted or corrupted. Lots of love - Mike
