March 24 is International Right to Truth Day. The United Nations proclaimed it in observance of the surviving families of people who "disappeared" during South America’s “dirty wars” of the 70s and 80s: "The right to the truth implies knowing the full and complete truth as to the events that transpired, their specific circumstances, and who participated in them, including knowing the circumstances in which the violations took place, as well as the reasons for them."
I have been thinking about this article. During the 1930s Germany was highly advanced - in technology, science, philosophy... People learned German if they wanted to enter the field of science. This did not prevent atrocity. The education systems in both Germany and Italy were infiltrated by an ideology that seemed perfectly scientific and right to most people. This fed into medicalization of the ideology with advanced technology. Even experimentation. Media was complicit. So was government on large and small scale. It is only in retrospect that anyone ever sees a problem. Then, we all think it would not be "us".
Then, as now, people only saw the possibilities of extreme right and extreme left. But, there is always another way.
This is one of the best essays I have ever read! If the author is an activist, I would love to join your team. I can be contacted via most social media platforms. This is brilliant.
""forgiveness for the many, punishment for the worst offenders."
Where do we think Satanic Panic Diane Ehrensaft, Joel Baum & Gender Spectrum belong in the categories? Ehrensaft's the developmental psychologist who promotes that babies tearing barrettes out of hair or unsnapping a onesie means baby "is trans" and must be set on a Gender track even though children cannot know what they are consenting to.
Outstanding! This is an epic, comprehensive piece of work. It should serve as template, a way forward for parents and concerned others.
Ironically, this article was inspired by the United Nations' International Right to Truth Day. Unfortunately, the UN cannot be counted on to address the "disappearance" of children who have fallen down the trans sinkhole. The UN has an explicit pro-trans policy, folded into its generalized policy regarding sexual minorities. Its policy is based on the principle of human rights, which as a general matter, I agree with. I doubt that anyone here on PITT wants to deny the human rights of transgender adults to seek medical services, to work, to study, to serve in the military, to love and to live their lives as they see fit.
But the UN makes no distinction between adults and children when discussing what they term "LGBT youth." The UN cannot be counted on to take seriously how children are groomed and indoctrinated by teachers and doctors into believing that they are transgender and that they must divorce themselves from their parents. Sadly, the UN will not be an ally in this fight. Anyone who works at the UN who understands this issue and wants to help, will have to leave the organization to do it.
I have serious goosebumps. This is timely for me as I'm listening to the This Jungian Life episode on forgiveness and what needs to happen in the psyche of the offended to reach a state of forgiveness. I certainly recognize that crimes against humanity have been perpetrated in the name of gender and a reckoning is necessary. I take comfort in "forgiveness for the many, punishment for the worst offenders." This needs to be shared and seen by the offenders who were taken in and need a chance to choose the right side of history.Thank you for the well-researched and referenced piece that maps a plan for necessary justice. It's chilling and powerful. And much needed.
Well done this piece. Truth and Reconciliation will be fundamental to future healing from this crazy contagion.
"TRANS" IS A SICKNESS

Seriously great article from a perspective I’ve not heard before--keep up the good fight!
Thank you for this call to arms. Let's start thinking about how we win.
This is essential and important thinking, very clearly and comprehensively expressed. Thank you for this!

Wow, this is big!

Legions of teachers cause untold damage affirming & promoting GI in the schools. They are clearly Category One like the German soldiers.

I encourage concerned individuals to attend this event.
It is broadly about trans health, but there is a panel on teen transitions that will be interesting. Note that Marci Bowers is presenting.
Free registration and attendance.
It's not a place to protest, but to listen, as comments will be turned off during the broadcasts.
