The Stream: An Australian child psychologist said that to some children, being transgender “is the new black.”
Many of the children Stephen Stathis sees in his gender clinic are actually confused about their sexuality. They could also be desiring to stand out, Heatstreet reported Monday.
Stathis runs his gender clinic at the Lady of Cilento Children’s Hospital in the state of Queensland, Australia. It began after Stathis received so many referrals for gender issues that his appointment waiting list jumped to two years.
Gender “Variant,” Not Disphoric
Stathis has diagnosed children as genuinely transgender — including a 3-year-old boy (now 9) who identifies as a girl. But he says not all his patients are actually gender dysphoric.
In a recent interview with Brisbane Times, Stathis said many children are “getting their sexual identity mixed up with their gender identity.” Others are “gender variant.” This means they enjoy activities associated with the other gender, but don’t identify with it.
This is especially common among boys, he said. Girls who enjoy masculine toys or activities are usually considered tomboys. Boys “put on a pink tutu and you’re off to see the doctor.”
Some girls who had been sexually abused told Stathis they wanted to transition. They thought they wouldn’t have been abused as a boy.
“It became really, really complex,” he admitted.
A gender clinic? YGBSM.
Who volunteers to check Brucey to see if he still has
a package or if he is lying?
Pathetic. The patients and the health care “professionals” all need to be treated.
There is a big difference, if you’re born black you’re black (unless you’re Rachel Dolezal) and you can’t be born as a boy and pretend to be a girl or vice versa.
Seems to me we’re witnessing the genesis of a new and profitable branch of social psychology. Gotta find some way to differentiate yourself from herd of “questioning” (read: undecided, unmotivated) undergrads who didn’t make it into the real sciences or business school.
And then maybe some of the children Stephen Stathis sees in his gender clinic are confused about their sexuality because some degenerate adult has manipulated and sexually assaulted them.
According to Leftists,
OrangeMentally Ill is the newBlackSane,which YOU WILL ACCEPT, or be declared insane.
Sorta reminds me of, “Heads I win, tails you lose.”
I believe CC hit the nail on the head. This bullshit is REALLY getting out of hand. And I also believe Braden is on the money. I’ve met several “mental health care professionals” who are even MORE NUTS than their patients. One deals with the criminally insane, and HE is the one taking Haldol (powerful antipsychotic).
this whole transgender thing must be an unintended consequence to believing in “darwins evolution”.
if fish can turn into mammals then men can change into women, because “science”.
I read somewhere this morning bruce jenner had his manhood cut off.
I guess his track and field days are now long gone, he went and got rid of his vaulting pole.
CC is right, but that’s only part of the story. When your kindergarten teacher reads you books like, “Jacob’s New Dress,” and when all of society tells you that you can be whatever you want — a boy or a girl — are we surprised that kids are confused? It’s “really, really complex,” according to this psychologist, because making the simple complex is a sport for the left. It’s all they know how to do. Making the complicated simple requires real talent, and the left doesn’t have any.
In a NUT shell, transgender is a FAD
The way to nip this in the bud is for EVERYONE to declare themselves transgender. Then ALL can demand attention, special rights, safe spaces, and all the other free shit.
No, it’s the old mentally ill. Studies show changing sexes does nothing to resolve the underlying psychological problems. Trans have vastly higher suicide rates.
Look at another body dysmorphic mental illness: anorexia. Who would argue that we should agree with skeletal figures that they are, indeed, fat and need to lose more weight?
Do whatever you want. Just don’t rub it in my face and try to force me to tell you it’s ok! It’s not! You are mentally and spiritually ill. Seek help, not confirmation.
One cannot be “gender” confused.
There is simply no such thing.
If a boy claims to be a tiger, he’s mentally ill – not “confused.”
If a girl claims to be a pony, she’s mentally ill – not “confused.”
If you can’t decide to use either “which” or “that” in a sentence, then you are “confused.”
izlamo delenda est …
I had to do a little digging, but I found a really interesting article I read several months ago at the Federalist.
Psychiatry Professor: ‘Transgenderism’ is Mass Hysteria Similar to 1980s-Era Junk Science
It’s very good and I think spot-on.
If I read the story correctly it’s been proven again and again that kids that have identified themselves as transgendered actually aren’t and by the time puberty rolls around they know and are quite comfortable with the sex they were born with. Yet too many parents and health care professionals are willing to go along with a child’s initial delusion (not sure that’s the right word) even to the point of prescribing hormone altering drugs which will have a lasting effect on the child. This is why people that go through the gender modification (both including and not including surgery) have horrendous rates of depression and suicide in later life (after 30). Wow, that’s a pretty steep price to pay for parents wanting to be trendy or a child wanting to be noticed and nobody correcting him/her.
How ’bout NOT being, the color “STOOPID?” 🙄
