As the transgender debacle spirals into greater chaos in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, the time is ripe to openly discuss its absurdity before more children are inculcated into this dangerous delusion. Simple logic debunks the preposterous idea that a person can transmute his biological sex, that doctors and parents “assign” a sex in mysterious ignorance of what the infant truly is, or that men should be allowed to play dress-up in women’s sports.
The Mayo Clinic discredits itself by legitimizing gender dysphoria as “a feeling of distress that can happen when a person’s gender identity differs from the sex assigned at birth.” Queer theory is a cultural Marxist confabulation designed to confuse and deconstruct. The postmodern disconnect from reality evidenced by the Mayo Clinic’s ridiculous effort is exhibited by the ideologically condemned notion that a person can be born in the wrong race. Under trans dogma, chromosomes and genitalia do not determine gender; thoughts do. Why is race not “assigned”? It is, after all, less immutable than biological sex.
Meanwhile, species dysphoria consists of “being an animal or other creature ‘trapped in’ a human body.” This, we are told, is psychologically distinct from lycanthropy, “in which the patient believes they [sic] have actually been transformed into an animal or have the ability to physically shapeshift.” Few people indulge this obvious mental health issue as a reason to “affirm” a person’s species identity. How is it that a person’s genetic identity as Homo sapiens differs from his genetic gender identity?
This is not to say such mental health conditions do not exist — it is to say that people who genuinely experience them suffer from mental illness that must be treated to help them conform to reality, rather than compel society to alter reality. Americans aren’t buying into the “transphobia” speech-stifling anymore, especially post–Charlie Kirk. This is the turning of the transgender worm — people are now going to exhibit Kirk-like freedom and courage, sparing more children from public school conditioning to believe they can switch genders like a Twister dial.
Such conditioning is child abuse. Even if a child suffers from gender dysphoria, insufficiently tested hormones and puberty-blockers (let alone surgeries) will never effectively alter human genetics. A similar impossibility prevents the use of drugs and surgeries to transform a kid into a cat or dog.
What if a child claims he is a demon trapped in a human body? Would that be affirmed in this freak-show leftist culture, or would that be more like skin color? The problem here is that demonic possession would affirm Abrahamic faiths, and the God-hating left can’t have that. As Charlie Kirk was wont to say, “transgenderism is a throbbing middle finger to God.”
Since Satanism is taught in public schools and secular humanists recklessly ignore the evidence of pure evil (such as in Kirk’s assassination), perhaps transgenderism is literally connected to demonic possession — not necessarily for those identifying as transgender, but for the medical and other authorities creating studies and administering “therapies” for profit at the expense of mental and physical health.
The American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, the World Medical Association, and the World Health Organization all agree that gender-affirming care [sic] is evidence-based and medically necessary not just for adults, but minors as well.
The American Academy of Pediatrics wants all infants to have mRNA shots. Are they “evidence-based and medically necessary”? These organizations are flushing their credibility down the toilet and should all be investigated for conflicts of interest and moral turpitude.
The insane contortions of gender theory cannot be reconciled with reality. Following the Minnesota church shooting by Robert (AKA Robin) Westman, the MSM traded recriminations over misgendering “her” as a “him.” However, Westman left messages that he wished he had “never brainwashed” himself into thinking he was a woman, which means the MSM media outlets that employed male pronouns in their coverage likely affirmed his last chosen gender identity before his suicide. Those who called him a her were the ones guilty of misgendering him.
Westman didn’t brainwash himself. The above-referenced organizations, public schools, and activist groups are doing the brainwashing.
There is no logic in affirming gender dysphoria while rejecting species dysphoria, in allowing a person to “feel” a different gender but not a different race. However, if people “feel” they are demons trapped in a human body, they may well be. Demon dysphoria is rampant, including in the teeth-gnashing exultations over the murder of Charlie Kirk.
It may be time to call an exorcist to save us from the shrinks!

All valid points made by Mr. Klar.
All due respect and empathy for those suffering from genuine physiologically-based dysphorias such as Klinefelter Syndrome and Turner Syndrome but I would have to say that 49 out of 50 folks who claim to be non-binary/transgender these days are just caught up in a social contagion, in the same category as purple hair and nose piercings. As we have seen in the case of Charlie Kirk, children are not the only casualty of our society’s malignant fealty to worshipping and accommodating this pathological lifestyle choice. You dont help someone who suffers from a serious identity disorder by pretending it is normal and wholesome. Our psychology/psychiatry professionals are more concerned about politics than science when they modify the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders from what was formerly referred to as “transgender identity disorder” into “gender dysphoria” to remove any reference to pathology. You dont help someone who thinks they are Napoleon by demanding that everyone address them as “Mr. Bonaparte”. It’s time to stop calling dangerous, aberrant behaviors “journeys” portrayed by whimsical and child-attractive characters like the “gender unicorn”.
Earned PhD or MD ? If so I will take your “opinions” seriously.
It appears that common sense has been overtaken by degrees with an agenda, which in itself is malpractice
Excellent article that will fall on deaf ears
Karen,
How many covid shots and boosters did you take?
If the answer is “zero”, I will take your opinion seriously.
Ethologist, John Calhoun, conducted experiments on crowding and social behavior in animals from 1947 to 1958. Accounts of his studies are published in Edward T. Hall’s aggregation of behavioral studies, The Hidden Dimension, first published in 1966. The entire publication is an interesting read and can be downloaded in .pdf format at no charge.
Calhoun’s experiments seem to me to be prescient considering the dysphoria addressed above by John Klar.
The summary of behaviors listed below are eerily similar to those addressed in this article. And, I suspect, the outcomes may prove to be equally similar. Stress, be it the result of physical overcrowding or psychological overcrowding, appears to have a similar effect on our behavior. The following synopsis, quoted directly from the Calhoun experiment, reads much like John Klar’s article.
There are, apparently, four aspects of behavior that are consistent between the animals studied and our current behavioral dysphoria. As societal stress increases, aggression, pansexual behavior, and a break down in family structure and child-rearing increases… ending, ultimately, to population collapse or large-scale die-off.
1. The aggressively dominant, of whom there might be as many as three, exhibited normal behavior.
2. The passive males avoided both fighting and sex.
3. The hyperactive subordinate males spent their time chasing females. Three or four might be tailing one harassed female at the same time. During the pursuit phase, they would fail to observe the amenities; instead of stopping at the “burrow” entrance they would follow the female inside so that she had no respite. During mounting, these male rats frequently maintained their grasp on females for several minutes instead of the usual two or three seconds.
4. Pansexual males tried mounting anything; receptive and non-receptive females, males and females alike, young and old. Any sex partner would do.
5. Some males withdrew from social and sexual intercourse and went abroad chiefly at the time when other rats slept.
“It is clear from Calhoun’s experiments that even the rat, hardy as he is, cannot tolerate disorder and that, like man, he needs some time to be alone. Females on the nest are particularly vulnerable, as are the young who need to be screened from birth to weaning. Also, if pregnant rats are harassed too much, they have increased difficulty in bringing pregnancy to full term.
Probably there is nothing pathological in crowding per se that produces the symptoms that we have seen. Crowding, however, disrupts important social functions and so leads to disorganization and ultimately to population collapse or large-scale die-off.
The sex mores of the rats … were disrupted, and pansexuality and sadism were endemic. Rearing the young became almost totally disorganized. Social behavior of the males deteriorated, so that tail biting broke out. Social hierarchies were unstable, and territorial taboos were disregarded unless backed by force. The extremely high mortality rates of females unbalanced the sex ratio and thus exacerbated the situation of surviving females, who were even more harassed by males during the time they came in heat.”
Forewarned is forearmed.
Thank you, John, for another excellent articulation of common sense and clear thinking. I agree with your premise and your conclusions, especially in your identification of the real evil in what are essentially trade associations (industry fronts) with impressive names that have a stake in promoting such lucrative “medical solutions” to others’ ills.
However, I would also like to add my 2c about a possible/probable cause of the increase in incidence of what may be genuine gender confusion in some kids (i.e., those not caused by “social contagion”). There are now MANY endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the environment that are, in fact, changing genders in amphibians and other animals, usually feminizing them. There is good reason to believe that exposure to MANY chemicals in our human environment, from soaps to plastics and SO much more, is having a similar effect on human children in utero and continuing after birth. So, while I don’t dismiss fully that many children are experiencing gender confusion, I definitely don’t believe hormones and surgery along with misplaced social policies are the only ways to deal with this issue.
WAY more attention needs to be paid to this environmental catastrophe which needs to be immediately abated, somehow; but also acknowledging this may lead to other, more sane ways of dealing with the issue in individuals, especially children. And, BTW, Ms Ryder above, I do have a PhD and have been working with Environmental Health issues for decades.
Some of these disruptive agents have been ignored for far too long and are only now being looked at for their widespread effects by our Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Maybe I’ve gotten cynical. But at this point, I think we need to “Defund” the school system. Especially here in Central VT. Rotten to the core!
I saw this in schools. I was a substitute school nurse. I had to address children by their pronouns otherwise I would be let go. If I didn’t show a record of all of my Covid shots, I would be let go. I loved the children at schools and I tried helping them navigate them thru the system every day and if they left my office smiling because they felt good about themselves-then I had done my job. I believed the system was turning them into activists who would become anarchists who hated America and possibly become the next school shooter. If you look at all of the last 5 mass shooters they hated pretty much the same things—Christians, Christian children, God, politicians, President Trump, free-speech, wanted gun control yet we’re using guns, and were antisemitics.
The school psychologist, therapist placated to these children and instead of helping these children to see this is a mental health issue they instead help the children to go ahead and administer puberty blockers to themselves and have body altering surgeries screwing them up even further giving them poor body image every time they look into the mirror. Does anybody wonder why suicides or death by police shooting these young people killing children is the only way out for these completely messed up young adults??? Put some of the blame on the school therapists and Psychologist for lying to parents and children and please and make them stop!!!!
I’m retired now and for Charlie Kirks’s sake I will speak out because the truth needs to get out there.
