We’re seeing a tragic epidemic in society today where we’ve been catering to an unhappy generation of coddled people, enabling the destruction of humanity.
I was shocked and saddened to see a continuing education seminar for gender affirming in our profession. Being fully educated in anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, pathology, obstetrics, neurology, psychology, gynecology, along with many other health sciences, the thought of lying to a patient about their true gender as a means of making them feel better isn’t within my understanding of being truthful and helpful to my patients.
I’m not a homophobe, but the idea of promoting unhealthy lifestyles to satisfy unhappiness goes against protecting people from their destructive actions. The suicide rate among these people prove that following this destructive lifestyle isn’t helping their happiness at all.
If a person has a drinking problem which is destroying their health and relationships, to not address this with a patient isn’t just wrong, it’s unethical. My license to practice medicine requires continuing education in the subject of ethics. Unfortunately I see where my profession has embraced the lie instead of continuing to stand on truth.
The mind, body connection is something which needs to be understood and addressed properly. Since the thoughts we have are directed to the hypothalamus as a means of regulating our endocrine (hormone function) and autonomic nervous system, it’s easy to see where messed up thinking can play a major role in physical function.
During our formative years, our understanding of good, bad, happy, and unhappy is constantly being developed. When children are growing up, it’s important how they’re educated on these elements. When children are influenced that for some reason they should be unhappy about their environment or how they were created, we can see fluctuations in the areas of both hormonal balance or neurologic regulation.
Stigmatization of people can create even more challenges. Thankfully in my youth, growing up in a family of eight siblings, playing with both my brothers and sisters, whether it was with Tonka trucks or dolls, there was never any question about my gender. A family friend had two sons. One was more of a jock and loved sports and the other was a gifted musician. The father praised the athletic son and called the musical son a girl. Eventually the musician adopted a homosexual lifestyle and died of Aids. This tragedy could have been avoided by a father who caused the child to be ashamed of his love for music and related this to not being manly.
I love to encourage people in the gifts they possess. The greatest emotion I’ve seen which plays part in their growth and health is the feeling of being loved and appreciated. The epidemic of transgender dysphoria is fueled by a need to fit in. I can understand this as when I went through boot camp and away from my loving family, I needed to find where I fit in. That’s when I got connected to the rodeo crowd and began to ride (quite poorly) with them. Thankfully I didn’t alter myself other than eating dirt on a regular basis.
The surgical castration of our children and the use of hormone therapies reserved for criminal rapists goes totally against my moral and ethical beliefs. By saying this, I open myself up to criticism for sure. My intent is not to offend, although many are looking for a reason to be offended. I just believe that far too many have been silent for far too long. When will we take a stand agains this?
The governor of Washington state has a bill on his desk that passed the house and senate and would allow a child that isn’t happy with their birth gender to be taken from parents, housed by the state and given irreparable genital surgery at the expense of taxpayers. This is total insanity in my estimation. As a physician, fully educated in physical function, it boggles my mind to think that a surgeon would ever consider performing such mutilation of a child.
Yesterday I held a violin one of my patients brought to me so I could look at it. It had been passed down from generations. It was in rough shape, and to some, could have been considered worthless. It was missing the bridge and strings. Sometimes we look at people that way. Not worth saving or caring for. I shined a light into the violin and read what was written inside. “Stradivarius”. How much this violin is actually worth is unknown, but just because it showed years of wear, never harmed the actual value.
Loving people has nothing to do with outward appearances, look inside, that’s where the real treasure lives. Learn to be happy with how God made you. You are unique and wonderful.
