What is happening in Germany! and of course Iran, is incredibly shocking.

I’m afraid that I’m not at all surprised at the video about the DSM manual. I’ve long thought that childhood ‘ailments’ such as autism and ADHD may be manifestations of childhood anxiety which could be the result of highly child centred ways of raising children amongst other things. For example, children nowadays are treated as little adults, involved in every decision in the home, spoken to as if they understand everything. Children need firm boundaries. They feel more secure when the adults are in charge, it releases them to be children. It is our responsibility to provide children with the security of knowing that we are in charge. If gender non conforming children had been treated in this way, instead of being affirmed as if they knew who they were, we may have been able to knock the social contagion of gender ideology on the head.

Many thanks as ever Dusty, for all your hard work on two updates! 😀

You're welcome, TT.

In 2014/2015 when same sex marriage was achieved, Stonewall ought to have turned their attention to those countries where it was not only illegal to be homosexual but where you might get killed or imprisoned as a result. I am sure we would all have supported such a good cause. Instead they went with the T and Q and have caused immense damage to the LGB especially LGB youth. They are a disgrace and should disband.

You put it excellently re children, TT and I agree with all of that. I didn't realise that the DSM was built on quite such shaky foundations!! At most, as Dr Miriam Gross man says, gender dysphoria is a symptom and you don't treat the symptom but look for the cause!

...and I meant to add that, as you say, the cause may be social contagion.

I agree Dusty but it’s why we need to look more deeply now. Why did the social contagion happen? I believe it to have been created by the huge sums of money being given to anyone prepared to push the ideology such as that coming from billionaires in the US, not just charities, universities, businesses, etc but also online influencers. There wasn’t any money in trying to help gay people in other countries.

I'm sure you are right, TT. I need to look more into the writings of Jennifer B.
