The recognition of Gender Dysphoria (along with its related phenomena in the earlier editions of the DSM) as a psychiatric disorder is largely responsible for giving the Transgender movement the “legitimacy” it has today. Without this recognition, we would not be in the situation we are in today. So, it is intriguing to come across statements like the one in the photo below.

Furthermore, it appears contradictory and inconsistent to hold such a position, considering how much this movement capitalizes on psychiatric issues. Take suicides, for example. Are they really saying that a demographic that they claim has a a suicidality rate of as high as 40% has no psychiatric basis whatsoever?

Where would this movement stand if it could no longer blame the mental health issues of trans-people on society’s failure to validate their beliefs? How would they continue to coerce society into conforming to their demands, if they could no longer use threats of suicide? What would be the justification for implementing radical interventions on minors? If trans identification were to be completely depathologized, what would be the basis for medicalization? How would insurance coverage be justified? Perhaps, it would be better for us all if it were no longer considered a mental illness. But in reality, this is not the case.

Trans activists have largely been successful in influencing how their psychiatric identity is represented in the DSM. In a bid to depathologize Trans-identification, the diagnosis has changed from “Transsexualism” (DSM-III), to “Gender Identity Disorder” (DSM-IV), to “Gender Dysphoria” (DSM-5). Although “Identity Disorder” was eliminated in favor of “Dysphoria”, it still remains classified as a mental disorder. The requirement of “significant clinical distress/ dysfunction” effectively makes it a mental disorder. But make no mistake, they are actively working to change this.

The extent to which Trans Activists are willing to push for declassification in the DSM and the willingness of the psychiatric community to accommodate these changes remain uncertain. Only time will tell.

Nevertheless, it is crucial to recognize that declassifying a mental disorder from the DSM alone cannot fully depathologize it. Society collectively holds perceptions of what is considered normal or abnormal, even if these thoughts are not openly expressed. It is an even greater challenge to depathologize a condition when there is no intention to demedicalize it.

It’s a little after 3 AM at work and I just helped another MD take care of a mifepristone disaster. She took it 2 weeks ago and tonight she ruptured her ectopic pregnancy and lost her fallopian tube and a lot of blood. 2nd mifepristone disaster I’ve seen in a week. 1/2

When I was a teenager, I struggled with depression. I struggled with the feeling that I was worthless, with the numbness, despair and crippling isolation that comes with this confusing and mysterious disease. There were times when I hated my body and times when I wanted to hurt myself. It wasn’t until I got help—until good friends who saw me struggling intervened and told my parents —and until I started therapy and eventually medication, that I got better. I learned tools for how to care for my body and my mind. How changes to my diet, my exercise, my sleep could help. I learned how to train my thoughts on my value and on the goodness and beauty around me, instead of constantly playing back the tapes of despair. I also dove deeper into my identity as a creation and a child of an all-powerful and loving God—a quest that would lead me to a deeper faith and becoming Catholic.

I’m sharing this because I know that many other people out there are suffering, too, or you know people hurting. I want you to know there IS hope and there IS healing. No one is doomed to struggle alone or to struggle without relief.

Hoy es un día importante para recordarles que el movimiento “Ni Una Menos” se creó en el 2015 como protesta al asesinato de Chiara Páez, una adolescente embarazada de 3 meses que fue asesinada por su novio por no querer abortar.

If your doctor tells you that they cannot treat your miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy because of some law, find another doctor STAT. Find one who will take care of you and not harm you for the sake of their ideology or out of their own ignorance.

Maybe it’s not burn out. Maybe it’s a sign you’re unappreciated and doing work that doesn’t provide you with a sense of meaning or purpose. Maybe it’s your body saying: no more of this.

En las noticias de hoy:
En Lille, al norte de Francia, un estudiante veinteañero salió de su apartamento el viernes a las 8 pm para tomarse unos traguitos con amigos. Regresó a las 3 am, abrió la puerta del edificio y se dio cuenta que, durante su ausencia, el edificio se movió.

@realchrisrufo There is this inexplicable push in our society to sexualise minors… I keep trying to understand why but I can’t think of one cogent reason that doesn’t lead me to be suspicious of all these institutions behind it…
