In a recent installment of the Morning Update, the subject was conversion therapy and the transgender agenda. I identified the issue as finding a path to align the mind with the body and the mind with the real world. That’s what you would do if your agenda were wellness and happiness, because it is incredibly expensive and difficult to align the body with the mind.
This is a piece about transgender agenda abuses, but we don’t perform surgery on people who think they are a bird or a cat or a whale. It would be equally reckless, irresponsible, and immoral.
Plastic surgery of the lift and tuck variety, while much more common than gender surgery, is as often as not either a vanity quest linked most often to industries that preach diversity and belonging but want nothing to do with aging, baggy, or unattractive people.
People who adopt this path tend to find it increasingly difficult to please anyone, especially themself. They will lie to themselves, and if they are important, or wealthy, or famous, or any combination of these things, others will lie to them as well, and they will pretend this praise is equal to happiness.
Money might mean you don’t have to think about money, but happiness cannot be bought. Nor can fame, notoriety, infamy, or any of the rest of it. Nor can surgery make your body match what you imagine in your mind, not really, which is why, until recently, therapy’s job was to try and help your mind cope with the reality, both you and the world around you. It was easier, more successful, and a lot more people have managed happiness, or at least a reasonable coexistence between mind and body, as presented in reality.

Oh, and most Plastic surgery, while invasive, does not threaten the life of the patient or numb and damage them permanently.
No Diplomatic Solution
Those unable to find a diplomatic solution (with or without the aid of a therapist) may end up incarcerated (prison or looney bin) or elected members of the Democratic Party whose mission it seems to be to ensure entire generations of people’s minds are at war with their bodies or vice versa, while the woke industrial complex profits keeps the loonies who should be in the bin” out here and the campaign contributions flowing.
The gender mills, which include public ed, private ed, the therapy industrial complex, the medical industrial complex (pharma, hospitals, Insurers), major political movements and parties, and other people’s children, have a clear profit motive.
And the Trans influencers are probably like cigarette smokers after years of quit or die messaging. They just want to find someone like them, even if they have to make them from scratch. It is so liberating to take drugs that will neuter you, numb all feeling, and have painful surgeries that will never make you look like the caricature image of the opposite sex someone convinced you to be.
Detransitioners keep showing up in front of microphones to talk to whoever will listen to explain that the drugs and surgery are a lie. The result is that the pro-trans crowd has shown their true colors. If you want to transition back as best one might, that’s not an approved choice. The people who encouraged and praised you for being brave when they convinced you to take drugs or get surgery have nothing good to say to you or about you now.
Transition, like abortion, and everything else under the black umbrella of Democratic Socialism, is a one-way street. It’s their way or no way, you racist bigot. Another warning to anyone who dabbles in their agenda, but only for those sane enough to listen.
Don’t try to turn lesbians into dysfunctional men or gay boys into girls. It doesn’t align their mind and body. It ruins their body, which can then ruin their mind, and if you just left them alone, stopped grooming them, and set them up with a competent therapist, everyone could save a lot of money, a lot of lives, and a lot of trouble. And much of the world, excluding the radical Islamists who run the Muslim Faith, is accepting of the LGB community as long as it leaves the kids alone – a rule we apply to all adults (equity and equality) regardless of whether they get their own letter.
