July 18, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — “Don’t cure the sickness, mutilate the patient — and let the community pay the costs.” In a nutshell, that is what the Ontario government’s plan is about.

For three things are crystal clear: First, the transgender’s (transsexual’s) urge to be operated upon is an expression of a serious mental disorder. Second, the fake-therapy of surgery etc. does nothing except mutilate him/her for life and aggravate his/her mental alienation. And the heavy financial costs will be paid with community money that should be spent on the really “necessary” medical and social needs that cannot be supplied because of lack of money. To say nothing of the immaterial damage done to the public morale when the authorities promote such gravely irresponsible measures. Pampering pathological perversions of sexuality, gender, and marriage is at the same time destroying people’s healthy ideas and morality about these things, thus a promotion of decadence.

The claim by Mr. (Eric) Hoskins (Ontario's Minister of Health) that the surgery and the accompanying and subsequent hormonal and other treatments are “in some cases necessary” is wild nonsense. He suggests that observing the criteria proposed by the ideological normalizers of transgenderism (the WPATH, for instance) to select the supposedly suited candidates for the surgery, guarantees a responsible procedure. That way, he probably thinks he can neutralize the well-documented medical and psychological evidence of the harmfulness and uselessness of that surgery. But the criteria are arbitrary, subjective, and elastic and do nothing to contradict the truth that every individual surgery (plus the rest) remains a harmful mutilation, an act of inhumanity. And once the planned Ontario regulation is in place, this strategic moderation will soon appear to have been temporary.

“Everyone has the right to be who they are” (Mr. Hoskins). If Mr. Hoskins means with this glib assertion “who they are by their proper nature, by birth,” he  has no leg to stand on, for there is no evidence at all that transsexuals have hereditary or other physical or physiological anomalies. Biologically, they “are” normal boys and girls, men and women. So, “who they are” is actually intended to mean “who they imagine they are,” “who they want to be.” For him, a sick crave, an idée fixe, an obsessive idea, a deeply entrenched delusion about the self replaces a patient’s objective reality.  For him, the disturbed patient who is convinced he is Napoleon “is” Napoleon, the person in a spiritualist trance who discovers he is a reincarnation of Buddha “is” Buddha. And at any rate, the core identity or nature of the bigamist and polygamist, and of the homosexual attracted to minors “is” ephebophile or pedophile, and these persons “have the right to be who they are.” Mr. Hoskins’ argument therefore paves the way for Ontario’s future openness to the rights of the latter categories which are also part of the anti-family, gay-and-gender ideology he serves so faithfully. We should not be too sure that some legalization of pedophile relationships will never succeed.

In general, the crave to “change genders” is a childhood/adolescence flight into daydreams about the self as someone of the opposite sex, rooted in gender malformation, trauma, and inferiority feelings about and rejection of one’s real sex. This wish-fantasy grows to a delusion and becomes the predominant passion of the mind, tyrannizing the sufferer and his environment alike. Causal factors mostly involved are similar to those in the childhood of the average homosexual. In the case of the boy, it are de-masculinizing and feminizing factors, like too much maternal and too little paternal influences and failed adaptation to same-sex peers. Indeed, most male transsexuals are homosexual.

Transgenders are severely neurotic, sometimes borderline psychotic, and there are cases of demonic influences. The compulsive transgender crave, like many neurotic obsessions and immature passions, is resistant to change. It is not changed or satisfied by hormonal or surgical interventions. It will be alive as long as the person is in the grip of his feelings of his gender-inferiority complex as a desperate wishful fantasy, no matter how much, how spastically, he plays the opposite-sex role, tries to constantly prove that he is what he is not. Initial euphoria after the pseudo-transformation gives way to renewed dissatisfaction and restlessness, depression, failed relationships based on his fake-role, promiscuity, substance abuse, suicide attempts. Fortunately, sometimes, after all this misery, he faces up to his reality and enters the hard way of fighting his illusion and identifying with his true self.

Politicians and medical professionals, the promoters and executors of these mutilations have a lot to answer for, toward the transgender patient, society, and their own conscience.
