Nature Abhors An Ethical Vacuum

I'm still trying to piece together how the medical establishment can reconcile giving my daughter psychosis-inducing levels of alien hormones with their knowledge of endocrinology and brain functions. As we discussed in a previous blog post, giving a woman massive doses of testosterone or a man massive doses of estrogen will make their brains shrink and drive them mad as it leads to early dementia and Alzheimer's.

Here's a cute, little anecdote about that from the PITT site.

This article has hit hard for me as my son has been on estrogen for close to two years now and his mental health has deteriorated rapidly as of late. He had a complete psychotic break just three weeks ago and was diagnosed with possible emerging schizophrenia while in hospital. He is home and medicated for this but mental health is worsening. He can't work and is not staying in his apartment. He has a new therapist at home that is diagnosing bipolar. Regardless, it seems pretty clear to me that the hormones aren't working. Thank you for this brilliant piece of research.

Emphasis mine and probably unnecessary.

The only thing I can come up with is the transition from Christian ethics, which are based on the individual, to Marxist ethics which are based on group membership. To refresh, Marxism divides the world into two, simple categories, victims and oppressors. For Marx, it was workers vs. owners. For Hitler, it was Germans vs. Jews. For the modern woke crowd, it's everyone but straight, white males vs. straight, white males.

I think what we're seeing with the trans crowd are some of the boundaries of the movement. You can see that the NCAA is starting to get queasy about Will Thomas swimming on the Penn women's team. When I've talked to my doctor and my therapist, both are repelled by their colleagues going along with poisoning kids. Still, we all bathe in a Marxist stew every day and the reflexive desire for simple classifications to make moral sense of the world partially, unconsciously drives our decisions. Straight, white men are bad, LGBTQWERTY is good. If the QWERTians think that women can become men, then we ought to go along with it because they're the good guys.

When we ditched Christianity, we didn't have any concrete idea of where we were going, so we ended up here, in a Marxist world of childish good guys vs. bad guys.

At least that's the best I can do today.

    I don't think that's a Marxist thing, specifically. That's a human thing. Everybody does that. It takes a conscious effort not to do that.

    A few other thoughts:
    1) Does a woman trying to become a man actually see "straight white males" as the enemy? Aren't they trying to become one?

    2) It seems odd that you are apparently discussing this with everyone but your daughter, who is actually the person this is about. Surely if you want answers, that's where you should go to ask? I realize that you are probably concerned that your relationship is likely hanging by a thread, and if you handle it badly she may never speak to you again. But if you keep on like this and she ever reads your blog, that will probably happen anyway.

    3) From your description, it sounds like you basically believe that she's been taken in by a type of cult. How do other parents deal with their children getting into cults?
