I couldn't figure out why transgenderism is being pushed on us. I should have known: money.

Would you much, much prefer insane asylums be making big money to mentally treat kids and adults who think they should have been born of the opposite sex?

I don’t think kids with gender dysphoria need to be locked away in insane asylums but they do need therapy to help them accept the body they were born with.

Scott Newgent who transitioned as an adult talks about his very negative and costly experience as well as how much the medical industry who is involved in gender surgery and treatment is motivated by profits, not health, not wellness and not even evidenced based procedures. Gender affirming procedures are experimental and experimenting on kids is just plain wrong.

During my post-operation 17 months of sheer survival, I discovered that transgender health care is experimental and that large swaths of the medical industry encourage minors to transition due, at least in part, to fat profit margins.

VERY FEW people can afford to 'transition' from gender to gender. its like plastic surgery, only a small percentage can afford it.


The rest just deal with whatever they dont like about themselves, if you cannot afford to change...what other option is there?!


You could finance the procedure, but you are still paying for it, just over a longer period plus interest.

The costs never go away with gender transition surgeries and therapies. It impacts your health negatively, shortens your life and you still don’t get what you want because a man can never become a woman and a woman can never become a man.

It’s all experimental and is a massive scam that causes great harm.

People need help accepting the bodies they were born with.

No they seem to need to be doing it since nearly 20% of Gen Z are identifying as something else.

And why do you think this is the ONLY solution?

Its not a massive scam...because VERY FEW can even afford to have it done.


Im not saying there are not 1000s of people that want this procedure done...but single digit percentage can go thru with it at the end of the day...so its really insignificant, (only applies to at the most 1-2%)

Of course. Lifetime of drugs and expensive cosmetic surgery that will in most cases be covered by insurance. Both lifelong medication and surgery are huge cash cows.
