Just read an academic paper on phalic confusion - how and why women fantasize having a penis and boys/men may wish or fantasize the penis can passively accept objects (like a vagina) with examples of boys inserting items into their penis, sometimes causing injuries. The psychology is very complex and psychoanalysts can often help people unravel the reasons they may wish for the opposite genitalia. It is a TRAVESTY that this confusion is not addressed with therapy instead of woke ideology- and so often surgery. I will send you the paper Todd.

When I was little I wanted to be a frog. And then after that, and forever after, a mother. One of those things DID happen, thank God the other did not! :D

I do seriously wonder the impact of social media on this transgender issue. Listening to a child psychologist recently, she said that it was increased 5000% in the last some-odd years. It used to be primarily males that struggled with gender dysphoria, but this new phenomenon of it is female-dominant. Isn't that interesting? I think social media is a huge driving factor (of course, I believe there is also the very real spiritual element, which manifests itself through material means). Ultimately, spiritual, but on its face, driven by technology somehow. Whether it's the seeing it constantly, the social pressure, or whether something about the connection literally altering hormones (and thereby the brain), who knows....

But this does cause me to have compassion, most especially for the young folks. I DO see them as victims of SOMETHING. Whether that's right or wrong, I'm not sure. I don't like victimizing people, but there's something about all this that does cause me to see them as victims. But not victims of hate and xyz-phobia as they say, rather victims of some wretched social experiment that will ruin their bodies and destroy their lives, their futures, their joy. We do have to love and pray for our enemies, which doesn't mean accepting what they say as true, but finding a way to have real compassion for them.

isn't transgender just a precursor for trans human? an attempt to minimize the debates to come? what is human? what is machine? what is organic? what is natural? should people with bionic arms be able to compete in weightlifting? etc.

You are one step ahead. Of course the transgender situation is a precursor for transhumanism....the artificial manipulation of the human body in an attempt create a physical manifestation of an imaginal state of mind.

I'm sick of hearing we need to approach these people from a position of love and understanding. They are our mortal enemies, at the moment. Since they're easily manipulated followers, our only hope is for them to be manipulated into believing in ideas that are good, decent, and work to sustain a decent society. Are they human? Isn't the difference between humans and the animal kingdom the ability to transcend instinct and training and actually THINK? They don't do that, don't even try. Helped a client with his computer yesterday, he actually fell for one of those scams where he called the number on the screen, they took control of his PC, and relieved him of 15 grand. He, of course, is jabbed to the max, and a true believer in all the establishment insanity. Looked like he's suffering from the turbo-aging too. Not possible to feel sorry for him. We are where we are because of him and those like him.

I often feel the same. I got in trouble a few weeks back for writing an article calling such folks "sheep" and was told I was part of the problem being so denigrating to "fellow humans"...I could use a lot more denigrating word to describe the people responsible for ending life as we know it. Yes, I know they are not the perpetrators, but if they stood up to all of this, like we have, there would not be a problem.

They aren't the perps, but they are the problem. How, in a world of 8 billion, can you expect to have zero smart, ambitious, charismatic people who will do anything if it helps them? Even enjoy causing misery. Not realistic. They aren't the problem. It's when they are elevated to positions of power that they become the problem. Blaming them is like blaming the weeds if I let them take over my vegetable garden. They're gonna do what they do if you let them. I am in favor of vigilante justice though, the perps deserve the worst.

I'm beginning to wonder if they have a soul. Is it possible to have no self-determination whatsoever, your thoughts controlled by those you bow to simply because your peer group says you should, and have a soul? Don't you have to be able to think for yourself to qualify as sentient? My son for a while was on the "we are living in a simulation" bandwagon. I dismissed the idea. Shoulda seen it then though - it's quite clear that these are NPCs who surround us.

I think it is possible the "powers that be" do not have souls. That they could be shapeshifter lizard people, or whatever. I think that is "possible" but not very probable.

I think the masses are very much out of touch with their souls. They are brainwashed, zombie types...who believe they can live forever if they hang on long enough that technology makes that possible for them.

Alien lizard people is slightly more possible than a simulation IMO. Lucifer could also be doing his work. Psychopathy and how normals react to psychopaths explains a lot, but psychopaths don't make multi-generational plans. Not according to the standard template anyway. Fascinating, even though terrible.

It IS quite fascinating. I am at the age now where I have no dog in the hunt when it comes to the future, and I have no kids, so it is mostly fascination to me.

I have never believed in a literal manifest devil, I always felt that was a metaphor for the evil that resides in a human's shadow psyche. Now I am not so sure. The argument about the human shadow being so evil and heartless is losing steam...it just doesn't seem natural. So now I am starting to lean toward a literal biblical satan...makes more rational sense.

My thoughts, exactly. Even through the good times, the words from John Kay in the 60s have always been my favorite lyrics - "if all this should have a reason, we would be the last to know". Never had any reason to think otherwise.

This why ? is what I ponder each day . I think in many cases compliance with the ideoloy is based on wanting to be part of the perceived consensus and or on the right side of political correctness. On a larger , broader scale the “ silencing” ( ie name calling and labelling ) is “ grooming “ in order to buy compliance with the next big thing .

The thumb screws are not tight enough. Sheep have a great deal of tolerance and resilience. As long as daddy gives them a reason for their discomfort, any reason, they are happier than a pig in shit. I do think there is a point where they will tire of inconvenience, but they will just get told it is due to a war they have no control over, to the weather, to aliens...whatever...and they will fall back in line.

I think the best book to read about all of this is "Brave New World"..."1984" describes a later manifestation of totalitarian rule. BNW is good because the people think all is fine. And it isn't.

I'll be writing about psychosis and how the market may take care of it on its own in my next Substack, coming out this Thursday. In-N-Out has announced that it will fire any employee who continues to wear a mask at any of its restaurants in five states. 100% correct. Every business should do the same.

In-N-Out is a very conservative company...they may have never bought into the mask nonsense. And yes, every business should do the same. I will be curious to see what happens when they try to pull this "lockdown" nonsense again. They may have cried wolf on this one and never get the compliance again.

On the upside - sterile humans can't reproduce, or they're having very few children, if any at all (because humans are evil anyway), meanwhile family-centric families are still out here having copious babies....

Unfortunately, we were taught that German Nazi National Socialism was an anomaly of history. History is not accurate. Germany was defeated as a country, however, Nazi criminals spread far and wide across the planet inside corporations, governments and black programs. The current state of the world is not a mystery when you look beyond the official lies of history and the veneer of society.

You are right, it isn't a mystery, the same confusion that ran in the blood of the German Nazi's runs in everyone...only it is dormant in most (not now!!). Humans need something beyond their own petty selves to keep it dormant (I dare say that God can be this "bigger than self" thing if understood correctly and not just used to justify insanity). We are seeing evil activated...

Agreed. Unfortunately when the schools become institutes in service of the State, they do indeed become the muck hole of societal deviance.

Again, you can convince a kid of anything. They are not supposed to have a block on their imagination, but at some point you move them gently back to reality so they at least can discern a difference...making the physical world match the imaginal world is a very dicey prospect and has to be done very carefully with children...you certainly don't put a scalpel to their genitals....or even feed them from a dog bowl.

Years ago, there was a Star Trek:The Next Generation episode in which the entire crew became addicted to a computer game. Everyone but the doctor’s son. And he went about trying to figure out what he had to do to get them out of the game and back to reality.

Years later, my teenagers made me watch those Matrix movies.

I have a friend who says if you want to know what’s coming, just watch Hollywood. So I watched as video games became addictive. And I watched as the high schools dropped Animal Farm and Brave New World and 1984 from required reading. And I watched as the government pretended that they weren’t creating inflation and wars and systemic illness with their policies. And now I’m watching as the population is being required to pretend that mental illness is reality.

So we have been warned.

I do hope this Daily Sceptic article will lift your heart!

It centres on the “identifying as a cat” issue and the marvellous response from children who are attempting to debate the deranged (indoctrinated) teacher.

Btw, I do recommend the Daily Sceptic and its lively readers/commentators – harsh but fair!

Stay strong, Todd. Many need you to help disentangle them!

The French story is like the one about the witches/women of salem who exhibited strange behaviours and were "tried" and found guilty and murdered for being witches. They'd eaten rye bread that had gone mouldy and the mould of that kernel is hallucinogenic. Anyway, I'm definitely with you on this one Todd. The health profession regulators have lost their minds or at least shown how gullible or captured they can be. Generally the regulations seem to lean away from politicization but now it's quite the opposite and I believe a great deal of harm is being done to probably thousands if not millions of people as a result of going along with the lunatic narrative.

They have cleverly disguised the political foundation to all of this, and since the politics that are at the bottom of it are genocidal, it is easier to hide (since few people would believe that).

I just got a questionnaire from my psychotherapy regulating body today asking questions about the new MAiD situation here (assisted suicide)...which is being extended to mental illness. I basically told them if they forced therapists to offer assistance to patients seeking suicide as a solution to their mental illness I was resigning.
