Speaking of which, what are the odds that all of these celebrities have children with such a rare condition as transgenderism:

I hate to say it, but transgenderism progresses naturally from the normalization of homosexuality. This is nothing new. In ancient Rome and Greece, the same thing happened. The surgery is much more sophisticated these days, but that's about all that's different.

Expand full comment

You dont know much about homosexuality do you? Except what someone else who knows nothing has told you perhaps. Gay men and women are made by the same Creator who made you and are simply attracted to the same sex for their partner. Homosexuality has been around as long as humankind and is also found among all other species. The majority of pedophiles are heterosexual and when there is molestation it occurs nearly always in the home by a relative.

I know what I know mostly from over 35 years of practice as a clinical psychologist with a specialty in psychodiagnostics and from working with many homosexuals. I don't disagree with a lot of what you say, except that we are not another species, but are human, which makes us qualitatively different, and just because homosexuality has always been with us does not mean it is not a problem, for the individual who is same-sex attracted as well as for the people around him or her. To try to make it not so has turned out to be folly.

It's mostly mentally disturbed men who are sexual deviants that are extreme peeping toms; to say it mildly. And those civilizations get destroyed from within first then outside male dominated forces finish them off.

Expand full comment

I would argue that it's an ideological, actually a theological problem to start off with. Once you separate sex from its actual function, to create children and then to bond their parents so they're raised in supportive families in which their conscience is properly formed, then you're off and running to sexual deviance and the elimination of male and female as primary, ontologically valid features of reality.

Poor kitty was forced 😢it’s an absolutely unnatural diet for a car. While some people are doing fine with vegan diets with proper supplementation this diet is not good for everyone. Some people actually feel better and look better when they start consuming meat.

yes, but again this was preceded by tilling the youthful soils of sexualities and genders for the past 70 years in schools, pop-culture, media, "social" media, churches and ministries, psychology, all Western culture and countries so that a boy waking up feeling "gay" or girlie that day is NORMAL, and thinking that leads to a mind that wants to be the opposite gender and even genital removal surgery becomes the "New and Improved Normal". Like any NORMAL tattoo or piercing for a teen, and what supportive, tolerant, open-minded parent wouldn't want to enable and care for their child in this condition? Science and medicine affirm it; religion and republicans, and grandparents should as well.

Walking away from immoral or insane behavior or speech is the right thing to do. The only thing more correct is to criticize it openly. The reason that this madness is becoming so prevalent is that no one is pushing back.

Lest we forget, Jesus was not always nice, unless you consider harsh criticism, threats, and occasional table toppling acts of kindness, which they can be. Put differently, the tolerance of error is not helpful and often harmful to others.

For the child, however, once the breasts or testies have been removed there is never an avenue for escape.

Masonic Pedophilia

“The FRANKLIN SCANDAL is the story of a nationwide pedophile ring that pandered children to a cabal of the rich and powerful. The ring’s pimps were a pair of political powerbrokers who had access to the highest levels of our government. Nebraska legislators attempted to expose the network in 1989 and 1990, but the legislators' efforts were followed by a rash of mysterious deaths and the overpowering responses of federal and local law enforcement, including the FBI and Justice Department, which effected an immaculate cover-up of the trafficking network.”1

The ritual of “ascension” (meant descension) to the 33rd degree involves a child bride. Videos are even more satanic.2

In a lot of cases, this is true. But depending on age, a lot less than we might think. I am the mom of a transgender child....I 100% oppose transitioning and refused any interventions until age 18. This is so clearly mental illness, but any help with the depression/anxiety she was dealing with also came with “loving” affirmative care. Finding a provider that does not subscribe to affirmative care is nearly impossible (and the trans world is super in-the-know on that, warning my child how horrible mental health providers that don’t subscribe to affirmative care are). I’m certain I bare some blame but as a conservative Christian mom who sent this child to a Classical Christian school for 3-years, homeschooled for 8, and then finally a public school for the last 2, I certainly wasn’t promoting or encouraging my child to identify as the opposite sex.

Heartbreaking.

I'm not a mental health professional. Probably a badge of honor. That said, I'm so so suspicious that there might be some hidden trauma in these children's lives. Trauma covers a w i d e spectrum. What one child experiences as trauma may roll off another's back. There's also the possibility of things we don't like to think about. I have heard first hand stories of survivors of abuse. I'm thinking in particular of denials by the mothers when they were told, and complete ignorance of the mother because the girl was fearful something would happen if she told. Not saying this worst is the case, just that gender dysphoria might -might- have its roots in something hidden. Something to explore?

I hope you're taking care of Heather in the midst of your own trauma. You are living through trauma. You know that, right? You must be overwhelmed at times. Different issues but I had a difficult child. Childhood trauma I could do nothing about. It took more than a decade for her to sort things out, but she got on the road. Still sorting 20 years later. Not my journey. I feel for her but can't live her life for her. I neglected to take care of me for *years*. Do take care of Heather. Neglect her and there won't be the proper resources to offer your child. 2¢

Expand full comment

I understand. ❤️ From personal experience with an issue I had with my child, it took many, many years of frustration, depression, many prayers (of my devout mother as well), and many tears for my prayer to be answered.

In my tradition, we also pray to certain saints for their intercession on our behalf, and also to the sweet mother of Christ for her motherly intercession prayers. As a mother, she is especially understanding of our sorrows.. I personally find her special place in Heaven comforting.

Never give up. Take it day by day.

May God bless you and comfort you sweet lady.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through. If there is need for repentance; ask God; I'm sure He will direct you to what; if anything; you (And your husband?) need to repent of; and never stop praying. Don't try to figure out all of the 'what if's'; the issue is too big to try to figure out; GOD knows what the ROOT cause of all of this is; trust Him to take care of it. Continue to show your child God's unfailing love along with His Truth. "Don't grow weary in well-doing."

"Having done ALL; STAND."

We are in a battle such as the world has never seen; a battle between deception and God's Truth; right and wrong; and the enemy NEVER sleeps. But God doesn't either; and because of Christ's finished work on the cross; all those who are born-again through and into Him also win. But it IS a BATTLE; a continuous one that must be pressed into until a victory is seen.

God has given us free will; including your child; but "It's not God's will that ANY should perish; but that ALL should come to repentance"; and I will believe God to be ready; willing; and able to save; sanctify; heal, and deliver your child.

The problem with catching cancer before symptoms is that not all cancer will kill you. Many cancers are very slow growing cancers that people will die with and not from. This has a huge effect on quality of life. If you are aggressively treating a non aggressive cancer your quality of life will suffer. Modern medicine is great....except when it’s not.

My family member was just killed by surgery to remove a tumor that the doctors *believed* would become malignant. The narrative is that he died “due to complications from surgery.” No, the doctors and hospital killed him.

Expand full comment

Dee - I am so very sorry for your loss.

My journey of extreme skepticism of the medical monopoly, & bureaucracy etc began in 1986. A team of supposedly well-respected nephrologists wanted “exploratory surgery” for my mom who was 66 at the time. She had a blocked kidney & thankfully I had the presence of mind to stand firm for less invasive procedures (a stent in the “kinked” ureter did the trick.) I was blessed to have her for another 30 years to age 96. Also, I had at the time a very knowledgeable & brilliant Applied Kinesiologist who had some very astute interventions that I should inquire of the surgeons before they did what they do. (I was so naive - his statement that surgeon’s are “knife happy” was an eye-opener). I am thankful for surgeon’s who do perform amazing, “necessary” life-saving surgery. It is the corporatist hospital system that is so destructive because it IS big business. And, of course, Bigg Harmass has contributed to our health systems’ demise.

Hospice is often a sanitized comforting form of euthanizing via water and food deprivation and pain killing administration. Why NOT just legalize it and end the pretend means to the same end? I'm not saying it's evil nor that we just give a family member a prescription to administer it; just a cautionary commentary and a rhetorical question. It's something most all of us must confront and proceed through. Perhaps in the whole of humanity's history we are at the very BEST place for this? I wrestle some however. I don't have THE answer but don't suggest that really anyone does i just recoiled some with the pat answers and conversations from the hospice center employee(s). But i wouldn't desire that occupation as a full time long term career either.

It may seem to be just that but when a person is dying they don’t need to eat. Even when a person dies at home they aren’t interested in food. My mom died in hospice. A couple of weeks before she went to hospice she had no interest in food. In hospice, fluids were provided intravenously along with pain meds and undoubtedly sedatives to ease the anxiety. My BIL died at home using hospice and without the pain meds it would have been horrible to deal with for my SIL. My uncle is at home now with hospice and while he’s still able to eat he has no appetite. He’s been supplied with pain meds when he needs them but is not looking forward to “needing” them. While we all will suffer to a lesser or greater degree, it seems only humane to ease the pain and passage of our loved ones. I’m thankful I didn’t have to see my mom writhing in pain.

Expand full comment

Interesting, because my SIL told my MIL on the way to Hospice that this was it, there was no coming out again. My MIL was super thin, but her main problem was from a stroke she had years before and she could not really speak coherently. It took her two weeks to die and they said she was not allowed food or drink, although they did swipe a moist sponge on a stick through her mouth once in a while. My hubby and sisters sat there and sang and held her hand and thought it was all fine. I had to leave, I could not witness the long slow (and what must have been angonizing internally) death march. I feel to this day it was planned and sanctioned societal murder. Horrifying.

‘I experienced this with an estranged, troubled destitute brother who had sustained a suspicious (to me) head wound. I arrived at the hospital to find him totally unresponsive due to morphine that was given anytime he made a move or sound. No water or food. He lived several days beyond the projected time of death. It killed me to see him this way.

But apparently there are different levels of hospice, due to one’s means I suppose. A fairly well off Priest that I know was declared to have gone into hospice care about 4 months ago and is yet alive. Obviously he receives nutrition and water. And people have visited him and he was fairly lucid.

The whole process is very disturbing to me. Particularly that it seems to be different for different classes of people.

some "patients" in this situation seem to cry out for their end while others seem to cry out to not want to be terminated in this fashion; it's not our realm of expertise so we tend to relinquish oversight and control to those who express kindness sympathy and the professional answers that dismiss our fears and questions and disarm our objections

modern med unfortunately is all about overtreating everything. A cold does not need a doctor, if you are desperate enough and still go, the cold that heals in a week will take a month or more to heal, and you will end up bedridden on antibiotics. Had a friend suffer it out like that.

Expand full comment

Antibiotics! So, back when I was a youngster, under the age of 5, I suffered from recurring tonsillitis. I’m sure I received lots of penicillin but the ear and throat infections were endless. Finally, our family doctor suggested I have a tonsillectomy. Tonsils and maybe adenoids were removed. Since that time I have never had a serious sore throat or ear infection. The doctor did not up my prescriptions or suggest tubes in my ears. He just yanked out the whole shebang. I am almost 73 years old and have been mostly healthy since 1956 when I had what used to be a common childhood surgery. It seems that now days doctors very seldom recommend tonsillectomies. Could it be that they are relying heavily on antibiotics? Anyone have any thoughts on this? Am I crazy?

Expand full comment

My daughter had recurrent tonsillitis and strep throat. We think sleep apnea too. We had her tonsils and adenoids taken out a few months ago. I hope we did the right thing. Your story gives me hope! Ps Kids still get their tonsils taken out regularly.

I would be interested to know how your daughter's health changes, for better or worse. I remember vividly being very ill with almost chronic sore throats. I never attended kindergarten because I was always so sick. Since the tonsillectomy I have been pretty darned healthy. I had all the childhood illnesses (measles, mumps, chicken pox) and I've had colds and the flu a couple of times but no more tonsillitis or ear infections. I hope your daughter has the same results.

Expand full comment

I really hope so, too. Kids do still get tonsils out but not like when I was a kid. The doctor advised my mom to have my tonsils out and, while he was at it, he also yanked out my little sister’s tonsils. 2 for the price of one!

Expand full comment

I think in the US they still remove the tonsils. I was in Belgium, had the tonsils peeled but not removed, with the same effect. I read somewhere that tonsils keep allergies at bay. So I am glad I still have mine. 12 years ago I had tonsillitis probably from driving in an overheated car with my mouth open! Only had it once and lasted only a couple days, yes, with antibiotics, because the herbal treatments don't seem to work for that. I also seem to have had quite a few ear infections but was not even 4 when they did the surgery and do not remember. A cousin about 30 had hers removed in Belgium this winter and said it is the worst pain she ever had, and she has undergone several surgeries already, throat is one big open oozing wound. Surgery at adult age is quite dangerous

Expand full comment

When I was a kid in the 1950s, getting tonsils removed was almost a fad, as I look back at it. It seems like half the kids I knew had them out at some point in the 6 to 12 age range. I always thought it was odd. Thank goodness I never succumbed to that!
