A Canadian perspective from Daniel Bordman – Is Gender Ideology About To Collapse?

The British author Helen Joyce identifies two main impulses that drive the gender theory movement in her book “Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality”. First, people want to be able to be at the forefront on a new human rights frontier. We live in a culture that wants to fight injustice and looks back on the people who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King as civil rights heroes. Everyone wants to believe that they would have been the ones who would have stood beside MLK in the 1960s. These people see trans as the new civil rights frontier and want to look back on themselves in a few decades as being on the “right side of history”.

The second is that all the major LGBT activist organizations, like Stonewall, needed a new cause after they accomplished their goals on gay rights issues like marriage equality. There is still the major infrastructure and donor base in place so the political entropy carried them over to the trans issue.

I will add another factor to all of this: the massive cash cow that the medicalization of transgenderism brings to the pharmaceutical industry….

The belief that gender ideology will be the popular historical perspective is integral to the movement. What is being done in reality is the mass sterilization of gay and autistic children. The most prominent researcher on this issue in Canada was Ken Zucker. He had shown that most children, about 80%, who express gender dysphoria grow out of it after puberty and settle into life as a homosexual. The more sunlight shown on the issue the more people will discover that gender theory is a homophobic eugenics program. Hard to be a good progressive and support that.

There is also a legal timebomb attached to a major pillar of the gender craze, the insurance companies. In the last decade, many kids have been fast-tracked onto the path towards sterilization and mutilation, but now we are seeing a wave of de-transitioners coming forward with lawsuits for the medical malpractice committed against them. The pharmaceutical industry might be making billions off of this and has no economic need to adhere to the truth, but the insurance industry stands to lose money from embracing the lie that these medications and surgeries are safe. Once the levees break, and a wave of class action lawsuits hit these doctors and gender clinics things will change quite rapidly.

In the gender wars, all of these victories are a great sign and may not be an end to the war, but perhaps it is an end to the beginning. If you do want to stop the medical experimentation on children faster find the courage to stand up and make your voice heard and encourage others to do the same.
