An important story, thank you for posting, what the TRAsh are doing to mentally disturbed kids is horrific.

You're welcome. Try to share it, you might be surprised who is receptive.

For example, one teenager came to us in the summer of 2022 when he was 17 years old and living in a lockdown facility because he had been sexually abusing dogs. He’d had an awful childhood: His mother was a drug addict, his father was imprisoned, and he grew up in foster care. Whatever treatment he may have been getting, it wasn’t working. During our intake I learned from another caseworker that when he got out, he planned to reoffend because he believed the dogs had willingly submitted.

Side note: as a society, we don't talk much about the escalation of porn. I don't know if a lot of people realize that most studies showing people moving into deviant porn end up escalating to child sexual abuse material and animal sexual abuse at the height. We talk a lot about the pedos and are pretty aware of how many people in society are pushing that boundary because the kids can talk and grow up, but we don't even want to have the conversation that there are just as many people viewing animals-as-sexual-object propaganda. I don't know how many people view extreme porn and then try to recreate it, but it's definitely a non-zero number.

Western society over the past 150 years has developed this image of doctors as a human ideal. We are supposed to trust doctors because they're smarter than we are, and because the "research" system is so well designed that "western medicine" always chooses the preferable alternative from the various treatment options.

The trans wave is a HUGE SLAP IN THE FACE regarding this image of western medicine. The doctors in this story are not the exception. My personal history includes significant interactions with dozens of physicians, and I am alarmed by the attitude of many of them (certainly not all). Far too many of today's physicians - having absorbed just the attitude about "doctors" I describe above - have lost the distinction in themselves between "beliefs" and "evidence-supported strategies". They believe certain stories, and then - being doctors - they use the part of the literature that agrees with them to justify their beliefs. Because they know how to use articles to defend what they believe, they claim this to be "medicine". What they fail to recognize is their own inherent biases and how this affects their "research". Because they have come into the "research" with a strong bias to begin with, they automatically discount the counter-evidence and ascribe it to malevolence by their enemies. In other words, they use moral reasoning to dismiss the evidence they are pre-disposed to disagree with. And worst of all, they don't recognize themselves to be doing this. In their own minds, they are being "entirely rational and analytical". But in truth, they are not. They are justifying a pre-formed belief, rather than following data to form a conclusion after the data warrants that conclusion.

This is a huge problem. The two primary places we are seeing it are in covid and in this trans crap. The doctors are well-meaning people, but well-meaning people have instabilities and confusion within their minds just like we all do. Doctors are not immune by being doctors. In fact, it has long been known that doctors suffer depression and anxiety at a higher rate than the general population. We don't give enough consideration to the effect these conditions are having on their medical judgment.

This story is an excellent example of someone breaking out of this trap and saying Wait A Second! We need to figure out how to reach the medical community and to open their minds to see and recognize the insane threads to which they have allowed themselves to be drawn, in the false belief that they are immune to such insane thinking. They are very much not immune, and the results - as this article so clearly demonstrates - are legitimately called Evil.

Too many of them are evil and beyond the help of anyone but God. The rest are often moral cowards as the past couple years clearly demonstrated

A handy definition of fascism is that a rightwingnazifascistconservative is someone who did not need to spend several years elbow-deep in the practice of sexually mutilating children to ascertain that sexually-mutilating children is wrong.
