Five years ago, the First International Meeting on Gender, Sex, and Education was organized. Several medical, scientific, psychiatric, sociological, and political experts lectured for several days.

It was a master’s degree in this subject, especially considering that among the speakers was Walt Heyer, a man who thought he was a woman, amputated his penis, and realized what a grave mistake he had made.

He did it several dozen years ago, so the testimonies of people who have walked that path have always been there to be heard.

Another speaker was Dr. Michelle Cretella, the then-president of the American Association of Pediatricians.

She explained the brain composition of males and females and exposed the logical fallacies common to those who advocate turning gender dysphoria into another sexual identity.

She presented some unforgettable data: according to the DSM-V psychology manual (the main one in this scientific field), gender dysphoria disappears in 98% of male minors; the percentage in female minors was 88%.

In other words, in 93% of minors with gender dysphoria, this confusion disappears with the body’s natural development and hormonal regulation after the turbulent period of puberty.

The data are overwhelming: only 7% of minors presenting this anomaly would be persons with real gender dysphoria.

With this data, it is easy to understand the obsession of the left wing, and part of the non-left, with minors and their sexual “education”.

The creation of a mental and hormonal labyrinth for generations of Spaniards with the aim that they never get out of there and with some statistics (falsified) to justify their political work of atomization and creation of new identities.

There are only 15,000 people officially considered transsexuals in Spain (0.03% of the population).

THE SITUATION OF THE VICTIMS

Subjects susceptible to exploitation are considered sick and, therefore, are despised.

The fact that gender dysphoria is considered a disorder is by no means derogatory, much less a condition for oppressing or repressing anyone.

Anxiety or depression are also disorders suffered by millions of Spaniards.

As they are more common, those who suffer from them are not as easy to manipulate as a minimal number of people, especially with political, media, and educational tools.

Those who defend this process of collectivization (the dissolution of the unique and individual identity in the mass) argue that transsexuality is no longer considered a disorder by the WHO.

It is a rather sui generis argument, especially considering the times in which it has been made and coming from an institution that modified the definitions of “pandemic” and “vaccine” before the health crisis due to the virus.

With this argumentation on the table, it is easy to call those who do not think like them oppressors, inhumane, anti-scientific, etc.

They avoid, however, that people suffering from this disorder can be heard and cared for by professionals who can help them understand what they are experiencing.

Montero’s current legislation also condemns any help in this sense, both to the one who provides it and to the person who seeks and consents.

This is not a stigmatized group.

They are people and, by extension, people with a body, psychology, and unrepeatable experiences.

The reasons why a person is immersed in this process are infinite.

Treating this from a political point of view is frivolous, and this is precisely what they use to accuse those of us who oppose it.

It is not frivolous to dismantle partisan political arguments.

Still, it is frivolous to talk exclusively about feelings when they are subjective and easily manipulated if a person is in a state of emotional vulnerability.

Previous legislation already recognized these people and, as no one denies the ordeal that gender dysphoria can entail, the procedure was rigorous.

Psychiatric follow-up for years, and, in the most severe cases, the modification of genitals was accepted (not the change of sex, which is impossible since the chromosomes from the very origin of life condition it).

On the other hand, the transsexuality concept erases homosexuals and women, understanding that the male and female sexes are mere perceptions and not existing biological realities.

This approach’s problems are unimaginable, although we already see some of them in sports.

A BUSINESS IN THE GUISE OF HEALTH

Behind this, there is money, a lot of money.

For a person to “transition” (that is, to understand that a person is 100% of the opposite sex according to current canons), they must undergo some 16 cosmetic surgery operations.

Psychological care must be added to accept oneself as this happens.

Not to mention hormone treatment.

A minor who wants to block her puberty or an adult who wants to start this process will need hormone treatment for life since her own body will tend to produce the hormones that her sex will determine. She will be a client/patient for life.

To illustrate this, the example of IPPF (International Planned Parenthood Federation, the world’s leading abortion company), which derived a large part of its business to hormone therapy after Donald Trump’s anti-abortion measures hurt its business.

This company is one of those in charge of creating sex education content for the UN, which this international institution then recommends to member states to be applied.

With this, they get customers for the future. Educate in a way so that later those generations consume the products they sell (including pharmaceutical companies).
