Month: June 2022

J. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings “. . . is an epic high-fantasy novel . . . set in Middle-earth, intended to be Earth at some distant time in the past . . . ” “[The] story began as a sequel to Tolkien’s 1937 children’s book ‘The Hobbit’, but eventually developed into a much larger work. Written in stages between 1937 and 1949, The Lord of the Rings is one of the best-selling books ever written . . .” (Wikipedia). “. . . Tolkien’s influences span across both mythology and Christianity . . .” (CBR.com, May 15, 2022). His writings include Elves, Dwarves (small underground miners), Orcs and Goblins, Men, Uruk-hai (hybrid of Orcs and Men), Orgs and Trolls, Ents (talking/walking trees), Wizards, Hobbits (humble/peaceful form of little people), and many bad creatures (like dragons and huge spiders), Wargs (like ridable wolves) and many evil beings. “. . . themes can be seen [throughout the writings including] in the presence of good versus evil, humility triumphing over greed, themes of death and resurrection, and compassion and healing.” (CBR.com, May 15, 2022.) “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.” (goodreads.com.) Three rings were given to the Elves, each one giving individual powers. Seven rings were given to the Dwarves, giving enhanced lifespans and talents. Nine rings were given to men, and also provided enhanced life spans, but also corrupted them through wealth and power. There were other rings, but merely trinkets with limited power. “The master of all the Rings of Power was the One Ring To Rule Them All. Forged by Sauron to control the wearers of all other Rings of Power, this was the most powerful Ring in the history of Lord of the Rings. The One ring had a peculiar ability to seek out the strongest of suitors. The stronger its wielder was, the quicker the One Ring managed to corrupt him.” (fandomwire.com, February 5, 2021.) In this blog we would like to draw an analogy to the nine rings given to men as we look to current world event leaders in power. You might select other leaders than the ones we have chosen, and there are many to choose from, but you have to draw the line somewhere to lower the number to just nine.

We want to make it clear, that all the ones we have chosen have been corrupted by power and wealth. We are also emphatically stating that we live in a world today in a battle of good verses evil. Some of the evil we can see and easily recognize, but sometimes, like the wind in the trees, we cannot see some evil but can sense its presence by its effects. If you believe in a Creator, and you see and feel a Spiritual component in your life, then you would also call this a Spiritual war. No one is ignorant of evil that effects our world today. We see the powerful begin and continue wars. We see violence in our streets, schools and homes where innocent people are hurt or killed. We recognize the slide away from faith in a Creator, to a slide toward humanistic atheism and transhumanism. We in effect are constructing our own Tower of Babel, as we reach out to be like gods ourselves. Do we hear and recognize the words “Danger Will Robinson”? (A robot’s warning to the young boy on the old TV series, “Lost in Space”.) Now that you know our premise for this blog, let us look at our nine chosen ones who are now wielding their rings of power.

There are many people in our world today who wield an enormous amount of power and influence. All of us are impacted by what they do, unlike most of us who leave footprints upon society barely noticeable to those who follow us in life. Our NINETH ring of power goes to the President of China, Xi Jinping. Over the last several years he has led his nation with the assistance of the Peoples Liberation Army and the Communist Chinese Party to become the most politically and economically influential person in our world today. He seeks world dominance and has created a military unrivalled in size and scope ensuring his path forward. If you buy anything, there is a good chance it has been either made in China, or the materials that constructed it came from China. His reach is deep into all American homes.

Our EIGHTH ring of power goes to Mark Zuckerberg. As the founder of Facebook, now changing its name to Meta, he has reached into most civilized homes around the world, connecting people in a way that precludes and supplants personal contact, allowing anyone to lie about who they are, and what they really do or did, He was also instrumental in using his vast wealth to influence voting in many states across our Nation by restricting what some could see and hear through stifling speech and focusing chosen narratives. He also created voting drop boxes in certain areas against state statutes and laws, and funded organizations rallying to only one political party. Your vote in the most recent Presidential election was diluted because of his power and wealth.

Our SEVENTH ring of power goes to Doctor Anthony Fauci, our Nation’s highest paid employee. As head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, he over sees the institutes financial budget, this year topping in at approximately $6.3 billion. He was the one who allowed funding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan China which was the source of the COVID-19 pandemic that killed millions worldwide. He often lied about his involvement in the creation of the virus, and often used misdirection and guile to aid pharmaceuticals in the marketing, sale and distribution of vaccines making the creators wealthy in the process. If you got a vaccination, or know someone who did, then you have been touched in a very bad way by his hand.

Our SIXTH ring of power goes to Attorney General Merrick Garland. As our Nation’s top cop, he has seen fit to turn his back on the invasion of illegal aliens crossing our southern border, and instead has made the job of our Border Patrol and ICE agents nearly impossible to perform as prescribed by law. He has chosen to ignore the plight of our Nation’s citizens on the border as they have been overwhelmed with criminal behaviors, and had their livelihoods upended. Instead, he has chosen to make honest law-abiding citizens the target of his department, choosing to call them the Nation’s top terrorist threat. He has jailed citizens who exercised their legal and just rights to protest and left many languishing in jail for months without speedy trials, and many layered with multiple misdemeanors, while he allows criminals to often skate with no or limited bail. He has targeted the parents of our children, those who question the validity of our elections and processes, and most who seem opposed to the ideologies of the current administration, denying the legal right to freedom of speech, and the right to seek redress at our Nation’s Capital. If you have recognized at times a two-tier judicial system in our Nation today, then you have a bone to pick with our top cop.

Our FIFTH ring of power goes to Klaus Schwab, a German engineer, economist, and the founder of the World Economic Forum, an organization comprised only of the richest people on earth who have only one goal in mind, and that being global dominance of ideologies, economies, and the control of all nation states. If he gets his way, you will become a surf having very little in the way of possessions, while he and his cohorts become more wealthy owning and controlling everything he and his organization can consume. If you have a distaste for the rich flying their private jets all over the world, while claiming you need to ride a bike or drive an electric car, then you will understand his intent for your life.

Our FOURTH ring of power goes to Senator Chuck Schumer, the democratic leader of our National Senate. Here is a man who will say one thing in one decade, then flip in the next. His ultimate purpose is to see to it that everyone in the United States bows to his authority as leader of the Senate. He will say what his ideology demands of him, without regard for you as a citizen of this Nation. One thing he does that is extremely effective, is that he can somehow ensure that all of his Democrat Senators always walk to a unified beat. He has taught them all through his control of financial support and committee assignments to walk and talk only his way. If you often wonder how it is possible that all Democrat Senators always seem to march in step, then you have recognized his power.

Our THIRD ring of power goes to Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. She claims solid Catholic beliefs but champions the slaughter of millions of babies in the womb. She, along with her husband, have always seemed to pick the right investments to make at just the right time, and have become multimillionaires in the process. One has to wonder what she knows and when she knows things about economic business leanings and political breaks given to certain corporations and enterprises. Maybe it is not so surprising since she, and she alone, sets the agenda for what can and cannot be discussed in the House of Representatives. Don’t you wish you could be a fly on the wall in some of these discussions? If you have not always gotten the financial breaks in your stock ownership, then you are not in the same league with the Congresswoman.

Our SECOND ring of power goes to Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft. As one of the wealthiest persons in the world, it has been his goal to see to the diminishing of the world’s population through the use of advanced medical technological thinking and the use of vaccines that have ended up killing millions world-wide. His money flows into, and controls, the World Health Organization. His vast wealth reaches deep into our National core, influencing many policies and dictates, all the while as he enriches himself. Many, including Non-Governmental Organizations, bow their knee to his offerings of money, giving way to common sense, moral responsibility, and self-determination. If you use or have access to an electronic communication device, then you have been influenced by this man, and in many ways, he has changed your life to be more like the life he wants you to live.

Finally, our FIRST ring of power goes to none other than the current occupant of our White House, Joseph Biden. Although not a bright man, and having been on the wrong side of every major foreign policy decision in the last four decades (according to Robert Gates, the former Secretary of Defense under the Obama administration), he has found himself throwing out executive orders and making foolish decisions, while ignoring the proper ones, as he has directed our Nation into its worst financial crisis in over 40 years. If you had trouble finding formula for your baby, questioned the method of withdrawal from Afghanistan, wondered why our Nation’s southern border is being invaded, why our stock market is plunging, why our interest rates are soaring, why our gas prices are so high, why he can’t even get out a cogent thought without a teleprompter or typed out notes on a card giving him directions he is to follow . . . . need we go on . . . . if none of this is a concern to you, then you better check your pulse, because you are dead! This man sets the tone and direction of our Nation. He is getting us involved in a war that we are not able to fight. He emboldens our enemies to push limits further to see how far they can go without our Nation’s significant national response. He is a puppet on a string. He seeks out the power through emergency declarations, and his ring of power is consuming him, and our Nation in turn.

The ring of power he holds, as well as all the others, are under the control of “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.” The evil force within this Nation, and the world at large, controls all the rings of power, enticing through wealth and power, and the more powerful the person believes him or her to be, the stronger the pull of the evil force. If we as individuals submit to this evil force, the battle for our FREEDOM and LIBERTY within our Nation will be lost, not only for us, but for those who follow us in life. What will those who preceded us in death, those who gave their lives to establish this Nation, what will they say to us? Will we be found worthy in their eyes?

What were our founding fathers thinking when allowing the establishment of A PANEL OF NINE, to preside over conflicts, disputes and events threatening the perceived fabric of our Nation? Sitting in lofty heights, untouchable by those presenting their side of the story, these NINE seem above the fray, able to speak from personal biased experience, expounding upon the facts as they choose to see them, and often lecturing as though they are the teachers and all who are before them are only simple students, having to listen, and being swayed to abide by the decisions and dictates of the NINE. How often we have desired to bring our cases before them, but alas, they only choose to hear the subjects they find worthy of their attention, in order to pursue their agenda, and resolve issues they deem most important. These appointed NINE supposedly come from different backgrounds, having a variety of differing ideologies. However, it has become highly evident that the majority of the NINE often have a singularity of purpose. Even though a variety of ethnicities and genders serve on this esteemed PANEL OF NINE, it would seem that from recent renderings and releases, this PANEL OF NINE has only one conclusion that will be released.

When was it determined that A PANEL OF NINE was the best possible combination of personalities? Is it best to ensure equitable outcomes of decisions by seeing to a balance of ideologies, while maintaining cultural diversity? How is this to be done when an uneven number on A PANEL OF NINE exists? Can and should we always allow one individual to be the only one who can appoint to A PANEL OF NINE? Can we trust this one individual to make the right choices in appointments, without apparent bias and obvious weighting personal desires in selection of candidates to serve on A PANEL OF NINE? Can we be assured that those who serve on A PANEL OF NINE will always ask the right questions, probe the depths of the issues at hand, and explore all aspects that pertain to the subject at hand ensuring a just and legal outcome that abides by precedent and established law previously set forth? Will the outcomes of decisions made by A PANEL OF NINE withstand the test of time, without the need for appeal or revisitation through another challenge or action? Will all citizens agree with the decision made by A PANEL OF NINE without dispute, without concern for process or procedure, and will all citizens submit willingly and without dispute to the decisions rendered by A PANEL OF NINE? Is it even possible for A PANEL OF NINE to render an incorrect decision, and if this rare occurrence was to happen, what, if any, process or procedure can be implemented to rectify and make whole the wrong that was committed? If an incorrect decision was ever to become apparent, what should be the consequence imposed upon A PANEL OF NINE?

There may be those of you out there that think we have lost our marbles, that we have rejected the founding principles of FREEDOM and LIBERTY upon which our great Nation was founded? But lest you leave this blog with the wrong impression, let’s just say maybe in reading this blog you have drawn the wrong impression. Is it ironic to some degree that the Supreme Court of the United States is not the only deliberative body consisting of A PANEL OF NINE? Did you believe we were talking about the highest court in our land? The Supreme Court of the United States is not the only deliberative body consisting of A PANEL OF NINE. Can you think of another? If not, let us give you a pretty big hint. The Select Committee of the January 6th Commission it, too, is A PANEL OF NINE, set up as their own little supreme court. It was established in conflict with set guidance, precedence and rules. However, it should have been a panel of thirteen as specified by resolution (pointoforder.com, January 22, 2022). It was, and is, unbalanced, biased, and established with a pre-established conclusion. The leader of the House did not appoint any of the five members recommended by the minority House leader (pointoforder.com, January 22, 2022; CRS Rep., The Committee System in the U.S. Congress 2 – October 14, 2009: “Each party is primarily responsible for choosing its committee leaders and assigning its Members to committees . . . “). Subpoenas have been issued, but since the committee is in violation of Section 2(a) of the authorizing resolution, those subpoenas are in fact invalid. (pointoforder.com, January 22, 2022). Since when has doing things against the established legal precedence ever been an obstacle for those who will use whatever means necessary to achieve their goals? The committee has also been found altering evidence and lying about it (pjmedia.com, June 12, 2022). There have been no counter witnesses or arguments allowed (foxnews.com, June 10, 2022; cnsnews.com, June 13, 2022). Those who instituted A PANEL OF NINE have done so without regard to legal foundations, and have avoided asking the more important questions that needed exploration about the event on January 6, 2021. Questions like how many FBI and other informants were actively involved in the lead-up to, and during, the event? Why did the leader of the House and the local mayor reject additional law enforcement protection, even though proposed by the White House days before? Why was an unarmed civilian shot dead, with no unbiased investigation into the individual who perpetrated such act? Why were weeks of warnings about the unpreparedness of the Capital Police ignored? Why were many protestors escorted into the building through opened doors and not stopped? Why are many still incarcerated and being prosecuted today for simple misdemeanors, when violent offenders committing murders and other atrocities (BLM/Antifa mobsters who rioted for months) are allowed bail and even lessor penalties (Townhall.com, January 6, 2022)? Why have the thousands of hours of video tape not been release to the general public? Finally, A PANEL OF NINE is projected to spend 8 million during its tenure (Breitbart.com, June 9, 2022). How would you have chosen to spend 8 million of your tax payer dollars?

It is evident that A PANEL OF NINE has only one purpose, and that is to prevent the former President of the United States from ever running for that position again. This is just another attempt to protect the political and financial power brokers who have taken over the center of our government. Perhaps they have forgotten that Congress serves us. That our rights to FREEDOM and LIBERTY in our Nation are given to us by God, not by a burdensome, authoritarian, dictatorial centralized government. Our forefathers fought against this generations ago and won. Now is not the time to lay down our defenses and yield our FREEDOM and LIBERTY for which so many have died to obtain and retain.

We are finally getting back to our normal, non-series, single topic blog format. If you did not get the opportunity to view the last two months of our series on TRANSPHOBIA, you need to go back and read each blog in sequence beginning on April 3, 2022. It should challenge your thinking about what the trans issue is all about, and the reasons for the explosion of trans issues facing our Nation today. It should change your mind about many things, and should ignite a serious scientific study to answer the question, “Why?” Today, we take another look at the surge in gun violence within our Nation and look into forces never considered as to why gun ownership grows each and every year. We will begin by stating the obvious reasons, which we discussed at length in our blog on April 25, 2021, titled, “WHY THE 2nd AMENDMENT”.

The ownership of guns is the reason we enjoy our FREEDOM and LIBERTY today. It began as a response to the British Crown’s authoritarian bullying promulgated upon our fledgling colonies from 1765 to 1775. The prevailing mantra has been the need to arm ourselves to protect ourselves. But protect ourselves from what? From a potential thief or burglar? From a perverted abuser? From wild animals, or a potential attack from outer space aliens? If you go back to the founding of our Nation, you will realize weapons were critical in securing our FREEDOM and LIBERTY from the British Crown. So, do we need them now for that reason? We no longer need to secure our FREEDOM and LIBERTY from a foreign aristocracy, but what about from a national, or local aristocracy? We feel we have a huge reason to keep our citizens armed for just that reason. Those in powerful positions fear an armed citizenry. If it were possible, those currently in power in our Nation would disarm all citizens so they could effect their will upon the masses without resistance. But this is not the core reason for this blog. Herein lies the The Irony. In a nutshell, if the government would stop targeting weapon ownership, the fear of government control would diminish, and increasing gun ownership would diminish.

Think of it in terms of fluid dynamics. When watering your flowers on the nozzle’s sprinkler setting, the tiny, separated drops land gently on the flower blossoms and leaves. However, if you turn the nozzle to the jet setting, the orifice is restricted, and the stream becomes more focused and is ejected at a much higher velocity, strong enough to blow the flowers and leaves off of your plant. Creating pressure by reducing the opening of the nozzle only serves to increase the exiting speed of the water. The same amount of water comes out, but it happens much faster and harder. So it is with the attempt to restrict weapons, regardless of the methods, however seemingly innocent or restrictive. Blowing out a candle is not done with your mouth wide open. Power washing anything is not done with the pump motor off. Try spitting more than 10 feet without your lips puckered up. Need we go on?

The current government’s continued focus on weapon restrictions creates a continued pressure of fear and an increasing need for personal protection. The question needs to be asked, “What is creating that FEAR?”

“Sales of Guns Soar in U.S. as Nation Weights Tougher Limits” – DemocraticUndergroung.com, January 12, 2013.

RACE RIOTS in 2020 and the unprecedented PANDEMIC LOCKDOWNS cast FEAR in multiple cities throughout our Nation. “Gun Sales Soar 80% in May Amid Race Riots, Government Lockdowns” – The Spectator-info, June 2, 2020. “Gun Sales Soar as Calls to Defund Police Grow Louder: Report” – WashingtonExaminer.com, June 25, 2020. “Gun Sales Soar Amid Coronavirus Pandemic, George Floyd Fallout” – NYPost.com, June 26, 2020. The upcoming ELECTIONS also increase the FEAR. “U.S. Gun Sales Soar Amid Pandemic, Social Unrest, Election Fears” – New.Yahoo.com, October 15, 2020. It wasn’t just an ELECTION that created the FEAR, but who might win the ELECTION. “Liberals, Women and Minorities Send Gun Sales Soaring” – DailyMail.com, October 15, 2020. “Gun Sales Break Records With Gun Control Legislation Likely If Democrats Win” – Newsweek.com, October 26, 2020. “Record Gun Sales a Vote of No Confidence in Democratic Leadership” – Leo Terrell, June 1, 2021. Now it’s time to add in some other FEAR factors, namely STIMULUS PAYMENTS, with people making more money by sitting at home rather than working, and MASS SHOOTINGS. “Gun Sales Soar From Stimulus and Biden’s Gun Control Plan Amid Mass Shootings” – Forbes.com, April 1, 2021. Let us continue to throw into the mix a few other FEAR factors, like VIOLENCE, ROBBERY, THEFT, MUGGINGS, and CAR JACKINGS. The “Defund The Police” movement, and the reduction of police and response times, added more FEAR. “Gun sales Rise Among Black People as They Look For Firearm Training and Education” – CNN.com, June 23, 2021. Who do we have to thank for the creation of all this FEAR, increasing the pressure to buy guns for personal protection? “Gun Sales Still Booming, Thanks to Democrats” – PJMedia.com, September 2, 2021.

The Democrat Party has created an enormous swath of FEAR in what they have chosen to do, and by what they choose not to do. The 2nd Amendment to our Constitution is here to stay. It is sacrosanct. It is Absolute. It is what created, and what is maintaining our FREEDOM and LIBERTY. If we allow those currently in control of our government to take just one inch off of our 2nd Amendment, it will eventually lead to a mile of more restrictions, confiscations, and prohibitions. Let it never be said of our generation that we were weak-kneed, irresponsible cowards, and willingly gave up what so many before us died to give us.

We have been exploring the topic of TRANSPHOBIA for nearly two months. If you are just now joining our blog, it is important for you to go back to the beginning of this series of blogs which began April 3, 2022, to set a proper foundation, and read each blog in sequence in order to understand what will be discussed in this blog, and to be able to put it into proper context. We will be continuing our look at the book, “The Riddle of Gender”, as we conclude this series of blogs. We will now continue our look at the physiological effects created by the introduction of DES (diethylstilbestrol) into human bodies.

“DES was viewed as a textbook example of the male medial establishment’s abuse of women, its lack of concern for women’s health, and its tendency to pathologize female bodies and view natural functions and women’s life passages such as pregnancy and menopause as illnesses requiring treatment.” “. . . ‘most doctors go out of their way to avoid concluding that a patient’s problem has been iatrogenically induced’. In the case of DES, that resistance to assuming responsibility has been shared by the pharmaceutical companies that produced the drug, and by the research establishment as a whole, which continues to resist full investigation of the tragedy. Half of the fetuses exposed to DES in utero were male, subjected to a barrage of synthetic estrogen during the period of sexual differentiation, chemically primed to be exquisitely sensitive to estrogen and estrogen-mimicking chemicals for the remainder of their lives. Their stories remain untold, and no one – not DES Action, not the Centers for Disease Control, not the National Cancer Insititute, not the drug companies that manufactured DES – wants to hear them.” Men are reluctant to explore issues with their bodies. “Gynecomastia, enlargement of the male breast, has been noted not only in DES sons but also in adult male agricultural workers exposed to the chemical.” ” ‘About 50 percent of our two hundred people in the DES Sons Network exhibit some form of gender variance. Most of them joined us when we didn’t talk about gender variance at all,’ says [Dana] Beyer. ‘I would say about half of the people on our list came unknowing that DES was connected with gender’.” There seems to be a “. . . conspiracy of silence about the effects of DES exposure on sons, particularly its association with gender identity disorder in males. Not a single DES cohort study has explored this question.” “Since we cannot create fresh studies of DES in humans and trace its effects from birth, we are pretty much forced to look at the existing adult populations. But it would be almost impossible to gather such population in one place physically in order to verify who they are and whether they were, in fact, DES exposed.” “The difficulties of researching the effects of DES on sons is acknowledged by the sexologist Milton Diamond, who told me that ‘the problem with DES is that there is no test that we can give today to determine if an individual has been exposed to DES’.” Studies continue supporting the effects of “endocrine disrupters” (EDCs), and these estrogenic chemicals are ubiquitous in our environment having adverse outcomes on humans and animals alike. Experiments with animals reveal “. . . that even minute changes in the hormone exposure of the developing fetus during certain sensitive stages could result in measurable effects.” These effects can be noted even in the positioning within the womb “. . . as the hormone circulates in the amniotic fluid.” “. . . bisphenol A, widely used in the production of plastics, and other environmental chemicals [exhibit] estrogenic effects – essentially ‘tricking’ the body into responding to them as estrogens. Bisphenol A (BPA) was developed in the laboratory of none other than Sir Charles Dodds, the man who developed DES.” “. . . scientific understanding of the mechanisms by which estrogenic chemicals exert their effects has grown dramatically. Studies have shown that environmental estrogens may alter production of normal hormones, disrupt the transport of hormones, affect the metabolism of hormones, interfere with hormone signaling at the receptor level, or modify hormone-regulated gene transcription. Adverse effects include reproductive failure, developmental effects, immune system dysfunction, and cognitive and behavioral pathologies of various types. The types of chemicals that may produce these effects include pesticides, [organochlorines], plasticizers, heavy metals, and plant estrogens. In Our Stolen Future, Theo Colborn and her coauthors list eighty-five chemicals known to be estrogen disrupters, many of them [ubiquitous] in the environment. We are living, scientists now say, ‘in a sea of estrogens’. ‘Is it a coincidence that since the introduction of the chlorinated pesticides around 1935-1940 the rate of transsexualism has been climbing steadily? The first generation born after the introduction of pesticides was also the first generation to have significant numbers of transsexuals. The condition is virtually absent from the U.S. historical record prior to 1952, when Christine Jorgensen made headlines’, Christine Johnson writes in a brief posted on the TransAdvocate website. ‘Every generation since then has had higher and higher rates. Clearly researchers knew that sexual developmental changes were observed with DDT in animals as early as 1950, yet this information was ignored, deliberately or not. Fifty years later, large numbers and quantities of EDCs are being distributed around the globe without adequate consideration of the consequences‘.” “I met with Christine Johnson in May 2002, in Philadelphia. As I soon discovered, Johnson is passionate about this subject. She speaks eloquently about the damage that she believes has been inflicted on transsexual people who have been told for years that their gender variance is a mental health problem, when the scientific literature shows quite clearly in animals that in utero exposure to exogenous hormones and hormone mimics affects the brain and behavior.” Author Harry Benjamin stated “‘. . . that my clinical impressions suggest to me more and more a prenatal neuroendocrine anomaly as perhaps the foremost causative factor for a majority of cases’. ‘. . . in many respects, transsexualism in the anatomic male might be regarded as an incomplete expression of testicular feminization syndrome (AIS, CAIS, or PAIS) with the defect affecting only sex-specific areas of the hypothalamus . . . Recent research indicates that in the genetic male the hypothalamus is masculinized by fetal androgen at a specific periods somewhat after the masculinization of the genitourinary tract. The genetic female, with her XX chromosome complement, lacks fetal androgen and therefore develops along typically female patterns. The important principle here is that effective androgen is necessary for masculinization. Without androgen, masculinization will not occur. Thus, the prenatal hormonal environment is critically important for all future development’.” This book reviews personal accounts of pharmaceutical and petrochemical companies talking about their “gender-bender” disposal settling ponds, and ” . . . were becoming aware of animals displaying homosexual behavior and transsexual changes.” Others were sharing stories living around “chemical soup” and “smog-laden” areas, and felt fortunate that if all they suffered was gender dysphoria, then they felt lucky from a heath perspective. “. . . studies have shown that estrogen can ‘imprint’ genes in such a way that ‘when a gene programmed to respond to estradiol at puberty is [mis-programmed] or reimprinted by development exposure to a hormonally active chemical, it will respond abnormally to the secondary cue, resulting in a functional cellular abnormality’. This process has been elucidated most clearly in chicken and frogs. But it does lead one to wonder what might be the effects on human fetuses whose gene expression may have been chemically altered by exposure to estrogens in the womb and who are then re-exposed again and again to estrogenic chemicals in the environment?” “The neurological basis of psychiatric conditions once considered the result of inadequate parenting (schizophrenia) or insufficient willpower (alcoholism and other addictions) is now recognized, even if the mechanisms that produce the condition remain incompletely understood.”

“Like the general public, most hear the word ‘transsexual’ and immediately visualize an episode of the Jerry Springer show. They don’t conceive of gender variance as a medical condition, nor do they view it as a legitimate focus of research. Not many people are well acquainted with the kind of professional transpeople whom I interviewed for this book or with the data that point to a biological etiology for gender variance. In many ways, the scientific and medical professions mirror the prejudices of society at large with respect to trans people.” “People need to understand why this happens; they need to understand about DES and the effects of EDCs, and that this isn’t going away. This is personal for me. I live with this twenty-four-seven. But as a society we’ve got a real problem. Fish changing sex? Hermaphroditic frogs? But they don’t make the connection. And then when a story comes out, local sperm counts down 20 percent, they just sort of ignore it.” “In The Essential Difference: The Truth about the Male and Female Brain, [Simon] Baron-Cohen [professor of psychology and psychiatry at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom], in 2003 believed “. . . that compelling data exist to show that the brains of the average man and woman are skewed to perceive and respond to the world differently. On average, he says, females spontaneously empathize (identify and respond to another’s emotions and thoughts and respond to them with an appropriate emotion) to a far greater degree than males. The average male, on the other hand, spontaneously systematizes (analyzes, explores, and constructs systems) to a greater degree than the average woman.” “When it comes time to explain the neurobiological mechanisms that might create this difference, he cites some of the same evidence that I have presented in this book, including the effects of hormones on the sexual differentiation of the brain. Indeed, he points to studies of DES sons that found the youngsters ‘likely to show more female-typical behaviors – enacting social themes in their play as toddlers, for example, or caring for dolls’. Studies of male-to-female transsexuals show ‘a reduction in ‘direct’ forms of aggression (the physical assaults that are more common in males)’,’ Baron-Cohen points out, and ‘an increase in indirect or ‘relational’ aggression (the style of aggression that is more common in females. This is strong evidence that testosterone affects the form the aggression takes’ . . .”

“There is some fear, however, that if a cause for gender variance is found, the search for a ‘cure’ will inevitably begin. ‘Once the source is found, the drive to cure or eradicate our particular form of biological variation is probable, based on current medical mentalities. Isn’t it better not to address this issue at all?’ says one of the trans friends I asked to review this chapter. Dylan Scholinski also voiced this concern. ‘I have a real problem with this being conceptualized as a birth defect,’ he said. ‘I am not ‘defective’.'” “If the stories contained in this book teach us anything it is that gender variance is neither a fad nor a revolution. It is a biological fact. Our continuing failure to acknowledge this fact virtually ensures that there will be more Alexanders and Tacys and Gwens, individuals whose pain cannot be assuaged by a syringe or a scalpel and who die violent and premature deaths. Whether dying by their own hands or at the hands of uncomprehending others, these individuals have been sacrificed to an illusion, the belief that the spectrum of gender contains only two colors, black and white, and nothing in between.” We told the story before about the man searching for his lost keys in the wrong place who said, “I’m looking here because the light is better over here”. “Scientists have searched for the solution to the riddle of gender in the place where the ‘light’ of scientific inquiry has shone brightest in various eras – endocrinology, psychiatry, embryology, and neuroscience. Yet those searches have produced no definitive answer to the riddle, only more tantalizing questions.” “A very important change that has yet to be made is the time we transgenders are no longer called ‘sex changes’. After all, consider this: we are NOT CHANGING anything! Indeed, we are merely CORRECTING pronouns, names, manner of dress, hormones and flesh to MATCH what has always been in our brains . . . The law must learn to assimilate the advances of medical science in a quicker manner and not remain legally stuck in the medical thinking of thirty years ago.” And we might add, the general public that is stuck in ideologies founded in limited knowledge, and biases based on decades-old ignorance. “A 2005 paper produced by researchers at [Gothenburg] University in Sweden presents evidence that an anomaly in the early sexual differentiation of various brain structures may be involved in transsexualism. The researchers found three common polymorphisms – genetic variations – that may influence the chances of transsexualism, providing support for the concept that transsexualism may be driven by genetics. In the language of molecular biology – ‘a long allele of the ERb gene may increase the susceptibility for transsexualism, and certain variants of genes coding for the AR, aromatase, and the ERb may partially contribute to the risk of male-to-female transsexualism if present in certain combinations’.”

“In any society you can name where a perceived need for purification and spiritual renewal requires a scapegoat, a category of unclean persons who need to be ruthlessly suppressed and even obliterated for the good of the society as a whole. Once, we recognized this monster and called it by its proper name – group psychosis. Today, the media and much of our political leadership bow down before this beast and worship it.” “Will we ever find a definitive solution to the riddle of gender? Maybe not – but as this history indicates, the questions we ask about gender tend to be more liberating than the answers. I would prefer to live in a society that gave me the freedom to ask those questions, rather than one that enforced autocratic conclusions.” ” In an era in which Americans are fighting and dying purportedly to free other people, perhaps we might take this one small step toward freeing ourselves by finally outlawing discrimination based on gender expression. What is freedom, after all, if it is not the freedom to be one’s self?”

It is hard to summarize our study of TRASNSPOBIA better than in the paragraph above. You may not like the conclusions we arrived at in this two-month series, but you have to agree that we have provided a systematic, scientific presentation. All we can expect is that you will have a greater understanding and compassion towards those who are trapped in this trans web. It has not been their fault, and it has not been done by their choice. We need to continue to look and explore in the “dark places” of science that have been illusive and, in some cases, ignored, to discover the answers to the question, “Why?” In our great Nation, we need to treasure and protect our FREEDOM and LIBERTY, and that applies to each citizen, whether we like it or not. There is no, and has never been, a litmus test that must be applied before any citizen can claim and practice their FREEDOM and LIBERTY in our Nation.
