The estimated annual amount of money made in the gender industry is about 200B.

What's the big pharma creed? Profits over people.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. I have seen various bits of information in other articles and documentaries, but you do a great job of pulling it all together with history and sources in a very thorough manner. What a travesty that these monsters in medicine have managed to convince some people that medical mutilation is "care" and that exposing our children to these ideas is some sort of ideal "inclusivity". It's a sure sign of a civilization in decline that child sacrifice is considered acceptable.

I couldn't even finish reading the article, it's so upsetting. Is there ANY reason to trust the FDA about ANYTHING anymore???!

Indeed! It takes a special kind of stupid to think blocking puberty is remotely safe or an easy thing to do. To do that effectively you must need strong and dangerous drugs. Common sense. Horrible! I’ve come so far in my journey, I no longer think it’s good to spay or neuter pets, let alone people!!!!!!!

shocking and infuriating!! I don't know why I am still shocked to read stories like this. Maybe it's because I was so naive back then regarding our medical system and the drug industry. I have always shied away from that system, seeking out homeopaths and naturopaths instead, but I had no idea how corrupt the system actually was. It's a criminal cabal using a fully captured "regulatory" agency to market their poisons. Covid opened a lot of people's eyes to the corruption but it's been going on for decades and most of us were mostly unaware of the extent of the criminality. Mass murder and mass maiming has been going on for decades. God help us to shut the whole murderous enterprise down once and for all.

I'd like to introduce readers to this article here as this article was one I read a couple years back, before the transgender movement gained traction, and offers an interesting perspective on who might be funding this movement: https://thefederalist.com/2018/02/20/rich-white-men-institutionalizing-transgender-ideology/

From the talks I've seen on the topic, when children hit puberty, they are established in what "sex" they and begin to act in that form. It's no wonder that blocking this natural occurring process would/can result in dysfunctions down the line (i.e., mental health issues). This is the definition of something I call "a bad idea" and we need to start speaking out against bad ideas: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-to-spot-bad-ideas-and-why-we

Thank you so much for writing about this.

I would like to add that there is no such thing as a 'transgender child'. More than 90% of these children, if supported on their journey of self-understanding and self-acceptance, will pass through puberty and no longer experience gender dysphoria. Further, about 80% of them will be gay or lesbian.

So in truth 'transgenderism' is current-day lobotomy for children who feel they don't fit in, only it's worse than lobotomy: For those who go whole hog on the medical interventions available, they're looking at in excess of $1M in medical expenses over a lifetime -- a lifetime that will be foreshortened and of poor quality due to these very treatments.

Lastly, I find it incredibly cruel to lie to children about being able to change their sex, which is impossible. It's up to adults to help them come to terms with their sex, not lie to them about being able to change it.

Thank you again.

"they genuinely share that they were not aware they had any clinically significant side effects."

Bull. Either they are lying, or they shouldn't be your colleagues in the first place.

The pharmaceutical industry is doing an amazing job at attempting to get every single person on the planet to be a lifetime customer. The single greatest act of rebellion today, seems to be, to remain in good health and free of pharmaceuticals. And, to teach/assist your children and grandchildren’s to do the same.

This is an excellent article on a generally useless drug. As I understand it, no science supporting transgendering exists. Anyone who hasn't seen the video of Vanderbilt touting the profits to be made from transgender surgeries can find it easily on the internet. I agree, this isn’t any different than the profiteering from the covid plandemic. So why not create another psyop to sell yet another “safe and effective” drug? And wow, if you get the kids, you make millions for decades.

IMO any parent who wants their minor offspring to change sex is simply nuts, though they are more likely suffering from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which is a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care. MSP typically affects a primary caretaker, often the mother. The person with MSP gains attention by seeking medical help for exaggerated or made-up symptoms of a child in their care. The parent needs help, not the kid. In fact, while I support parents' rights, this is one situation where the child should be removed to a safe environment.

I worked with a transgender as he began transition. He had been married and sired children and decided to transgender after they were grown. He was narcissistic and obnoxious. After he graduated to dressing as a woman at work, he flirted and hugged my friend and other men in the hall, thinking that’s how women act. My friend was mortified. I told him to report it as it is sexual harassment, but he was too upset and embarrassed about it and afraid he would be the one in trouble with the idiots in human resources.

The mistake many are making in organizations and legally is trying to make a transgender have all the rights and privileges of the sex they are trying to be. We can see it doesn’t work in reality. I believe we need to see transgenders as a third category, where they retain some of the rights and privileges of their biological sex and some of their adopted gender. Sorting that out will never take place as long as the fight is about they are only one or the other sex.

No doubt there are some who are so miserable in their own skin that after therapy and other efforts think they can only find their happiness by adopting the persona and look of the opposite sex. But in my opinion, it is a form of extreme cutting and self-injury now increasingly abetted by the greedy medical establishment.

From what I have read, transgendering typically brings other emotional, and life-long physical and financial troubles. Of the transgender shootings I have seen in the news, most seem to be women trying to become men. An article I read on substack discussed how angry taking testosterone made her, and she eventually stopped trying to transition. I recall the enormous expense was part of that decision.

I don’t believe it right or moral to mock these sad people, but neither does it serve any healthful or moral purpose to support the transition path.

The linked to story about the disappearance of the National Lupron Victims Network is quite chilling.

You are on fire! Just another way that the medical/pharma cartel are destroying our youth and guaranteeing lifelong customers and revenues over humanity. #Abuse

Reading these comments, it just occurred to me how fortunate we are to have a forum like this to discuss and expose these crucial health and medical issues! Thank you MWD, thank you substack. Imagine if we had had this forum during the heighth of the scamdemic!!!

It's a given ...more than 99% of the time products come on the market to make money for the provider. The question... are they beneficial? Our FDA passes many questionable foods and drugs, which have never been tested by a third party. Our government permits manufacturers to do their own testing. Caveat emptor! Buyers beware! Personally, I view all drugs as anathema. None would be necesssary, if the truth were known. Truth is suppressed for the merchandiser's benefit.

Wow! A much needed review of what is known about puberty blockers. Most people I try to discuss this subject with simply repeat like trained parrots whatever NPR told them lately - i.e. "puberty blockers are safe and reversible" - and of course the evidence-free mantra that - "they prevent suicide." Thank you.

Many well-heeled corporations - especially Big Tech - are giving substantial financial support to employees for IVF and/or cryopreservation (freezing) of embryos. Google covers the cost of egg freezing up to $75,000 per employee according to Freeze & Co, article dated 3/14/24:

https://www.cofertility.com/freeze-learn/what-employers-offer-egg-freezing-benefits. One wonders what the fate of the frozen embryos and eggs really is. . . . not to mention the poor employee who has to take things like lupron (i guess) to mass produce the eggs . . . . i wonder what short-term fertility treatments like that do to a woman. And to the potential baby.
