THE TRANSGENDER
MOVEMENTTransgenderism Activists detach gender from biology. Kids down to
kindergarten are being taught their body is irrelevant to their authentic self.
Your real sex is what you choose to be and not what your born with.-Antonio Bernard Part 13
THE RISE OF
FEMINISM
“2nd Wave Feminism started in the 1960s. It is explicitly secular and anti-Christian. All
gender differences and the nuclear family are to be eliminated, and that for a woman
to achieve self-actualization, she must be separated from the biological reality of
childbearing. Hence lesbianism and abortion are articles of faith for 2nd Wave
Feminists.
THE RISE OF
FEMINISM
“We are now in 4th Wave Feminism, where the Transgender movement takes the 2nd
Wave Feminist concept that the real you is not linked to your biology to its natural
conclusion. Hence the modern LGBTQI agenda, which is explicitly secular, atheist and
anti-God and anti-Scripture in nature.
-Dr Conrad Vine
“I Am Not My Body”
Many people find it easier to recognize the
denigration of the body in arguments supporting
transsexualism or transgenderism. Transgender
people often say they are trapped in the “wrong
body.” This sense of a mismatch between
physical sex and psychological gender is
called gender dysphoria.
“Most people assume that it must have some
biochemical basis, perhaps a hormonal cause. To
date, however, no clear scientific evidence has
been uncovered. More importantly, transgender
advocates themselves argue the opposite: They
deny that gender identity is rooted in biology.
Their argument is that gender is completely
independent of the body.”
“In other words, the authentic self has no
connection to the body. The real person resides
in the spirit, mind, will, and feelings.The
implication is that the body does not matter. It is
not the site of the authentic self. Matter does
not matter. All that matters is a person’s inner
feelings or sense of self. This radical dualism
accepts a modernist, materialist view of the
body in the lower story, and a postmodern view
of the self in the upper story.”
“The body is not seen as having any purpose or
telos(ultimate goal). It is merely a collection of
physical systems—muscles, bones, organs, and
cells—providing no clue to who we are or how we
should live. Our physical traits give no signposts
for the right way to deploy our sexuality.”
“ And if the meaning of our sexuality is not
something we derive from the body, then it
becomes something we impose on the body. It is
a social construction. Sexual identity is reduced
to a postmodern concept completely
disconnected from the body.”
“ The question raised by the transgender
movement is much more fundamental: Do we
accept or reject our basic biological identity as
male or female? In the
two-story worldview, the body is seen as
irrelevant—or
even as a constraint to be overcome, a limitation
to be liberated from. By contrast, a biblical
worldview
leads to a positive view of the body.”
“ It says that the biological correspondence
between male and female is part of the original
creation. Sexual differentiation is part of what
God pronounced “very good”—morally good—
which means it provides a reference point for
morality. There is a purpose in the physical
structures of our bodies that we are called to
respect. A teleological morality creates harmony
between biological identity and gender identity.
The body/ person is an integrated psychosexual
unity. Matter does matter.”
“Liberal secularist ideology …In embracing
abortion, euthanasia, homosexual conduct and
relationships, transgenderism, and the like,
liberal secularism conceives the body not as an
aspect of the personal reality of the human being,
fully sharing in his or her intrinsic worth and
dignity, but rather as an extrinsic instrument of
the mind or psyche or self—which is considered
the true ‘person.’ ”-Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University
“This instrumentalization of the body underwrites
liberal secularist ethics from top to bottom ..., it is
philosophically as well as theologically untenable.
The mental-spiritual and bodily aspects of the
human person are a unity. The body truly is part of
the personal reality of the human being and shares
fully in his or her inherent dignity. From that
...much follows for the ethics of life and death and
sexuality and marriage.”-Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University
The history of the words “gender,” “gender identity,” and
“transgender” shows that they are not the same as “sex.” Each
of these words was coined precisely in contradistinction to
“sex.” “Gender,” as it began to be used in the 1960s, was meant
to draw attention to the differences between men and women
that were specifically not biological.
According to Dr. Stephen L. Ristvedt: [B]y the mid-1960s the word gender
was adopted outside of sexual science by feminist writers to mean the
“socially constructed” (vs. biologically determined) aspects of male-female
differences, that is, the stereotypical psychological and behavioral
characteristics presumably shaped by societal expectations.
Stephen L. Ristvedt, “The Evolution of Gender,” JAMA Psychiatry, Vol. 71, No. 1 (January 2014). p. 13,
https://evomedicine.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/evolution-of-gender.pdf (accessed March 2, 2017).
Just as some Feminists claim there’s no difference between
male and female, the next step towards absurdity is to claim
that ‘male’ and ‘female’ really doesn’t exist at all. Indeed, so
confused are people now about the line between male and
female, that we now live in an era where over 300 gender
definitions exist! Some of these include.
‘Aerogender’ -when someone feels their gender changes based on their surroundings.
‘Affectugender’ –when someone’s gender changes based on their mood.
‘Boyflux’ –when one feels mostly boy but experiences fluctuating levels of male
identity.
‘Caprigender’ –when someone feels their gender changes rapidly and randomly.
‘Collgender’ –when someone feels they have too many genders to describe.
‘Cosmicgender’ –when someone feels their gender is so incomprehensible, that it can
only be processed a bit at a time.
‘Demiflux’ –the feeling of having multiple genders, some static and some fluctuating.
‘Dryagender’ –a form of gender that is apparently ‘best represented by an empty,
tranquil forest.’
GENDER
REVOLUTION
Adkins argues that gender identity is not only the
preferred basis for determining sex, but “the only
medically supported determinant of sex.”

Medicine and the director of the Duke Center for Child and
Adolescent Gender Care (which opened in 2015).
Every other method is bad science, she claims: “It is
counter to medical science to use chromosomes,
hormones, internal reproductive organs, external
genitalia, or secondary sex characteristics to override
gender identity for purposes of classifying someone
as male or female.”

Adkins doesn’t say if she would apply this rule to all
mammalian species. But why should sex be
determined differently in humans than in other
mammals? And if medical science holds that gender
identity determines sex in humans, what does this
mean for the use of medicinal agents that have
different effects on males and females?

WHAT IS GENDER IDENTITY ?
Yogyakarta Principles : “Gender identity is understood to refer to each
person’s deeply felt internal and individual experience of gender, which
may or may not correspond with the sex assigned at birth…”
UK Select Committee: Gender identity is “the gender with
which [persons] associate themselves.”
WHAT IS GENDER IDENTITY ?
NHS: “Gender identity is the gender that a person
‘identifies’ with or feels themselves to be.”
US, eg. Massachusetts: “Gender identity shall mean a person’s gender-
related identity , appearance or behaviour , wether or not that gender-related
identity , appearance or behaviour is different from that traditionally
associated with the person’s physiology or assigned sex at birth.”

Transgender Movement got their Science all

-Excerpt From ,When Harry Became Sally by Ryan T. Anderson
“The best biology, psychology, and

of sex as a bodily reality, and of gender
as a social manifestation of bodily sex.
Biology isn’t bigotry.”

Transgender Movement got their Science all
wrong
-Excerpt From ,When Harry Became Sally by Ryan T. Anderson
“Every human society has been
organized around a recognition that
men and women are different, and
modern science shows that the
differences begin with our DNA and
development in the womb.”
How Deanna W. Adkins , M.D and The
Transgender Movement got their Science all
wrong
-Excerpt From ,When Harry Became Sally by Ryan T. Anderson
“It is true that men and women
differ among themselves, and that
some people have difficulty
identifying with their bodily sex. But
this doesn’t mean that sex is either
fluid or subjective, as transgender
ideology maintains.”
Redefining “sex” to mean “gender identity” means that the sex-class comprising
women and girls now includes men, with all the physiological and social characteristics
that come with being male (and vice-versa). Likewise, the agencies make little effort to
keep up the pretense that “transgender” is a coherent descriptor; under their policy a
transgender person is simply any person who claims to be so, and that person’s “sex”
is whatever they say it is whenever they say it. By rendering men legally
indistinguishable from women, the policy threatens to extinguish the very
meaning (and independent legal existence) of women.

WHAT IS PUBLIC REST-ROOMS ?
If someone could enter a public facility based entirely upon
their “internal sense of gender,” then law enforcement personnel,
bystanders, and potential victims would have to be able to read minds
in order to determine whether a man entering a women’s facility was
really transgender or was instead there to commit a sex offense.…
Defendant’s and Intervenor-Defendants’ Brief, “Exhibit N: Expert
Opinion of Sheriff Tim Hutchison (Retired),” p. 11.
WHAT IS PUBLIC REST-ROOMS ?
The non-transgender male sex offender would simply have to claim
that his “gender identity” was female to make successful
prosecution difficult if not practically impossible.
Defendant’s and Intervenor-Defendants’ Brief, “Exhibit N: Expert
Opinion of Sheriff Tim Hutchison (Retired),” p. 11.
RE-DEFINING SEX ?
[R]edefining “sex” to mean “gender identity” is a truly fundamental shift
in American law and society. It also strips women of their privacy,
threatens their physical safety, undercuts the means by which
women can achieve educational equality, and ultimately
works to erase women’s very existence.
Brief of Amicus Curiae Women’s Liberation Front and Family
Policy Alliance in Support of Petitioners, p. 1.
When the law requires that any man who wishes (for whatever reason) to
be treated as a woman is a woman, then “woman” (and “female”)
lose all meaning. With the stroke of a pen, women’s existence—
shaped since time immemorial by their unique and immutable
biology— has been eliminated by Orwellian fiat.

In 1965, the Hopkins Hospital became the first academic institution in the United States to perform
sex reassignment surgeries. Now also known by names like genital reconstruction surgery and
sex realignment surgery, the procedures were perceived as radical and attracted attention from The
New York Times and tabloids alike. But they were conducted for experimental, not political, reasons.
Regardless, as the first place in the country where doctors and researchers could go to learn about sex
reassignment surgery, Hopkins became the model for other institutions. But in 1979, Hopkins stopped
performing the surgeries and never resumed.
In the 1960s, the idea to attempt the procedures came primarily from psychologist John Money and
surgeon Claude Migeon, who were already treating intersex children, who, often due to chromosome
variations, possess genitalia that is neither typically male nor typically female. Money and Migeon were
searching for a way to assign a gender to these children, and concluded that it would be easiest if they
could do reconstructive surgery on the patients to make them appear female from the outside. At the
time, the children usually didn’t undergo genetic testing, and the doctors wanted to see if they
could be brought up female.
“[Money] raised the legitimate question: ‘Can gender identity be created essentially socially?’ ...
Nurture trumping nature,” said Chester Schmidt, who performed psychiatric exams on the surgery
candidates in the 60s and 70s.
This theory ended up backfiring on Money, most famously in the case of David Reimer, who was
raised as a girl under the supervision of Money after a botched circumcision and later committed
suicide after years of depression..
Surgeon Milton Edgerton, who was the head of the University’s plastic surgery unit, also took an interest
in sex reassignment surgery after he encountered patients requesting genital surgery. In 2007, he told
Baltimore Style: “I was puzzled by the problem and yet touched by the sincerity of the request.” Edgerton’s
curiosity and his plastic surgery experience, along with Money’s interest in psychology and Migeon’s
knowledge of plastic surgery, allowed the three to form a surgery unit that incorporated other
Hopkins surgeons at different times. With the University’s approval, they started performing sex
reassignment surgeries and created the Gender Identity Clinic to investigate whether the surgeries were
beneficial.
“This program, including the surgery, is investigational," plastic surgeon John Hoopes, who was the
head of the Gender Identity Clinic, told The New York Times in 1966. “The most important result of our
efforts will be to determine precisely what constitutes a transsexual and what makes him remain that
way.” To determine if a person was an acceptable candidate for surgery, patients underwent a
psychiatric evaluation, took gender hormones and lived and dressed as their preferred gender. The
surgery and hospital care cost around $1500 at the time, according to The New York Times.
Cari wants to know if there is any other medical condition
where you can “walk into the doctor’s office, tell them
you have a certain condition, which has no objective
test, which can be caused by trauma or mental
health issues or societal factors, and receive life-
altering medications on your say-so?”
“The most striking aspect of the transgender moment may be the
influence of ideology on medical practice. Johns Hopkins Hospital is a
prime illustration on account of its prestige and its history involving the
treatment of discordant gender identities. The institution was a forerunner
in offering sex reassignment procedures, largely due to John Money, a
professor of medical psychology at Johns Hopkins University who in the
1960s advanced a radical notion that gender is only a social construct
without any real connection to biology.”

C“Indeed, Money appears to have been the first person to use the term
“gender” in this way in the academic literature. He famously claimed to
have helped a family successfully raise their twin sons as brother and
sister after a botched circumcision destroyed one boy’s penis.
Money presented this case, along with findings from his work with
“intersex” children, as proof that infants aren’t born with a specific gender
and that any child might be raised as either a boy or a girl (perhaps with
medical assistance).”

C“In reality, the young boy raised as a girl always felt that something was
wrong, despite all the hormones and surgery and social conditioning he
was subjected to. When he was fourteen, his parents told him the truth.
Both twins took their own lives in their mid-thirties. Yet Money never backed
away from his radical claims.”

C“A transgender activist might say that the tragic end for the twins only
means that the one boy didn’t really have a female gender identity. But
Money’s broader theory of gender as something separate from bodily sex
would be influential in transgender advocacy. Money promoted his notion
of gender fluidity across the United States, and together with a plastic
surgeon he founded the Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic in 1965.”

“The most widely known patient of Dr. Money was David Reimer, a boy who
was not born with an intersex condition but whose penis was damaged during
circumcision as an infant. David was raised by his parents as a girl named
Brenda, and provided with both surgical and hormonal interventions to ensure
that he would develop female-typical sex characteristics. However, the attempt
to conceal from the child what had happened to him was not successful—he
self-identified as a boy, and eventually, at the age of 14, his psychiatrist
recommended to his parents that they tell him the truth.”

“David then began the difficult process of reversing the hormonal and surgical
interventions that had been performed to feminize his body. But he continued
to be tormented by his childhood ordeal, and took his own life in 2004, at the
age of 38. David Reimer is just one example of the harm wrought by theories
that gender
identity can socially and medically be reassigned in children.”

Sex Change Biological Impossible
What is clear is that biological sex is not a concept that can be
reduced to, or artificially assigned on the basis of, the type of
external genitalia alone. Surgeons are becoming more capable
of constructing artificial genitalia, but these “add-ons” do not
change the biological sex of the recipients, who are no more
capable of playing the reproductive roles of the opposite
biological sex than they were without the surgery.

Sex Change Biological Impossible
Nor does biological sex change as a function of the environment
provided for the child. No degree of supporting a little boy in

girl makes him biologically a little girl.

“Sex reassignment surgery, even today with all

in the human body, the DNA in that cell, remains
coded for your biological birth. So there are a

with compassion upon those who were being corrupted, murdered, and lost. They had
chosen a ruler who chained them to his car as captives. Bewildered and deceived, they
were moving on in gloomy procession toward eternal ruin,—to death in which is no hope
of life, toward night to which comes no morning.” DA 36.3

The conventional view on sex role development
presented in psychosocial literature through the
1960s to 1980s has been that, apart from obvious
morphological and physiological differences
essential for reproduction, men and women are
essentially the same in their potentials and
capacities.
Any behavioral differences that can
be measured have been viewed as
reflections of culturally imposed
norms.The biological profiles of
males and females, however, reveal
myriad basic physiological
differences, many of which shape
behavior.

13. TRANSGENDER MEDICINE - Gender Identity and Sex Reassignment History

  • 1. THE TRANSGENDER MOVEMENTTransgenderism Activists detach gender from biology. Kids down to kindergarten are being taught their body is irrelevant to their authentic self. Your real sex is what you choose to be and not what your born with.-Antonio Bernard Part 13
  • 2. THE RISE OF FEMINISM “2nd Wave Feminism started in the 1960s. It is explicitly secular and anti-Christian. All gender differences and the nuclear family are to be eliminated, and that for a woman to achieve self-actualization, she must be separated from the biological reality of childbearing. Hence lesbianism and abortion are articles of faith for 2nd Wave Feminists.
  • 3. THE RISE OF FEMINISM “We are now in 4th Wave Feminism, where the Transgender movement takes the 2nd Wave Feminist concept that the real you is not linked to your biology to its natural conclusion. Hence the modern LGBTQI agenda, which is explicitly secular, atheist and anti-God and anti-Scripture in nature. -Dr Conrad Vine
  • 4. “I Am Not My Body” Many people find it easier to recognize the denigration of the body in arguments supporting transsexualism or transgenderism. Transgender people often say they are trapped in the “wrong body.” This sense of a mismatch between physical sex and psychological gender is called gender dysphoria.
  • 5. “Most people assume that it must have some biochemical basis, perhaps a hormonal cause. To date, however, no clear scientific evidence has been uncovered. More importantly, transgender advocates themselves argue the opposite: They deny that gender identity is rooted in biology. Their argument is that gender is completely independent of the body.”
  • 6. “In other words, the authentic self has no connection to the body. The real person resides in the spirit, mind, will, and feelings.The implication is that the body does not matter. It is not the site of the authentic self. Matter does not matter. All that matters is a person’s inner feelings or sense of self. This radical dualism accepts a modernist, materialist view of the body in the lower story, and a postmodern view of the self in the upper story.”
  • 7. “The body is not seen as having any purpose or telos(ultimate goal). It is merely a collection of physical systems—muscles, bones, organs, and cells—providing no clue to who we are or how we should live. Our physical traits give no signposts for the right way to deploy our sexuality.”
  • 8. “ And if the meaning of our sexuality is not something we derive from the body, then it becomes something we impose on the body. It is a social construction. Sexual identity is reduced to a postmodern concept completely disconnected from the body.”
  • 9. “ The question raised by the transgender movement is much more fundamental: Do we accept or reject our basic biological identity as male or female? In the two-story worldview, the body is seen as irrelevant—or even as a constraint to be overcome, a limitation to be liberated from. By contrast, a biblical worldview leads to a positive view of the body.”
  • 10. “ It says that the biological correspondence between male and female is part of the original creation. Sexual differentiation is part of what God pronounced “very good”—morally good— which means it provides a reference point for morality. There is a purpose in the physical structures of our bodies that we are called to respect. A teleological morality creates harmony between biological identity and gender identity. The body/ person is an integrated psychosexual unity. Matter does matter.”
  • 11. “Liberal secularist ideology …In embracing abortion, euthanasia, homosexual conduct and relationships, transgenderism, and the like, liberal secularism conceives the body not as an aspect of the personal reality of the human being, fully sharing in his or her intrinsic worth and dignity, but rather as an extrinsic instrument of the mind or psyche or self—which is considered the true ‘person.’ ”-Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University
  • 12. “This instrumentalization of the body underwrites liberal secularist ethics from top to bottom ..., it is philosophically as well as theologically untenable. The mental-spiritual and bodily aspects of the human person are a unity. The body truly is part of the personal reality of the human being and shares fully in his or her inherent dignity. From that ...much follows for the ethics of life and death and sexuality and marriage.”-Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University
  • 13. The history of the words “gender,” “gender identity,” and “transgender” shows that they are not the same as “sex.” Each of these words was coined precisely in contradistinction to “sex.” “Gender,” as it began to be used in the 1960s, was meant to draw attention to the differences between men and women that were specifically not biological.
  • 14. According to Dr. Stephen L. Ristvedt: [B]y the mid-1960s the word gender was adopted outside of sexual science by feminist writers to mean the “socially constructed” (vs. biologically determined) aspects of male-female differences, that is, the stereotypical psychological and behavioral characteristics presumably shaped by societal expectations. Stephen L. Ristvedt, “The Evolution of Gender,” JAMA Psychiatry, Vol. 71, No. 1 (January 2014). p. 13, https://evomedicine.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/evolution-of-gender.pdf (accessed March 2, 2017).
  • 15. Just as some Feminists claim there’s no difference between male and female, the next step towards absurdity is to claim that ‘male’ and ‘female’ really doesn’t exist at all. Indeed, so confused are people now about the line between male and female, that we now live in an era where over 300 gender definitions exist! Some of these include.
  • 16. ‘Aerogender’ -when someone feels their gender changes based on their surroundings. ‘Affectugender’ –when someone’s gender changes based on their mood. ‘Boyflux’ –when one feels mostly boy but experiences fluctuating levels of male identity. ‘Caprigender’ –when someone feels their gender changes rapidly and randomly.

Redefining “sex” to mean “gender identity” means that the sex-class comprising women and girls now includes men, with all the physiological and social characteristics that come with being male (and vice-versa). Likewise, the agencies make little effort to keep up the pretense that “transgender” is a coherent descriptor; under their policy a transgender person is simply any person who claims to be so, and that person’s “sex” is whatever they say it is whenever they say it. By rendering men legally indistinguishable from women, the policy threatens to extinguish the very meaning (and independent legal existence) of women. -Brief of Amicus Curiae Women’s Liberation Front and Family Policy Alliance in Support of Petitioners, p. 16.

  • 54. In 1965, the Hopkins Hospital became the first academic institution in the United States to perform sex reassignment surgeries. Now also known by names like genital reconstruction surgery and sex realignment surgery, the procedures were perceived as radical and attracted attention from The New York Times and tabloids alike. But they were conducted for experimental, not political, reasons. Regardless, as the first place in the country where doctors and researchers could go to learn about sex reassignment surgery, Hopkins became the model for other institutions. But in 1979, Hopkins stopped performing the surgeries and never resumed.
  • 55. In the 1960s, the idea to attempt the procedures came primarily from psychologist John Money and surgeon Claude Migeon, who were already treating intersex children, who, often due to chromosome variations, possess genitalia that is neither typically male nor typically female. Money and Migeon were searching for a way to assign a gender to these children, and concluded that it would be easiest if they could do reconstructive surgery on the patients to make them appear female from the outside. At the time, the children usually didn’t undergo genetic testing, and the doctors wanted to see if they could be brought up female.
  • 56. “[Money] raised the legitimate question: ‘Can gender identity be created essentially socially?’ ... Nurture trumping nature,” said Chester Schmidt, who performed psychiatric exams on the surgery candidates in the 60s and 70s. This theory ended up backfiring on Money, most famously in the case of David Reimer, who was raised as a girl under the supervision of Money after a botched circumcision and later committed suicide after years of depression..
  • 57. Surgeon Milton Edgerton, who was the head of the University’s plastic surgery unit, also took an interest in sex reassignment surgery after he encountered patients requesting genital surgery. In 2007, he told Baltimore Style: “I was puzzled by the problem and yet touched by the sincerity of the request.” Edgerton’s curiosity and his plastic surgery experience, along with Money’s interest in psychology and Migeon’s knowledge of plastic surgery, allowed the three to form a surgery unit that incorporated other Hopkins surgeons at different times. With the University’s approval, they started performing sex reassignment surgeries and created the Gender Identity Clinic to investigate whether the surgeries were beneficial.
  • 58. “This program, including the surgery, is investigational," plastic surgeon John Hoopes, who was the head of the Gender Identity Clinic, told The New York Times in 1966. “The most important result of our efforts will be to determine precisely what constitutes a transsexual and what makes him remain that way.” To determine if a person was an acceptable candidate for surgery, patients underwent a psychiatric evaluation, took gender hormones and lived and dressed as their preferred gender. The surgery and hospital care cost around $1500 at the time, according to The New York Times.

Cari wants to know if there is any other medical condition where you can “walk into the doctor’s office, tell them you have a certain condition, which has no objective test, which can be caused by trauma or mental health issues or societal factors, and receive life- altering medications on your say-so?”
  • 60. “The most striking aspect of the transgender moment may be the influence of ideology on medical practice. Johns Hopkins Hospital is a prime illustration on account of its prestige and its history involving the treatment of discordant gender identities. The institution was a forerunner in offering sex reassignment procedures, largely due to John Money, a professor of medical psychology at Johns Hopkins University who in the 1960s advanced a radical notion that gender is only a social construct without any real connection to biology.” Transgender Medicine at Johns Hopkins
  • 61. C“Indeed, Money appears to have been the first person to use the term “gender” in this way in the academic literature. He famously claimed to have helped a family successfully raise their twin sons as brother and sister after a botched circumcision destroyed one boy’s penis. Money presented this case, along with findings from his work with “intersex” children, as proof that infants aren’t born with a specific gender and that any child might be raised as either a boy or a girl (perhaps with medical assistance).” Transgender Medicine at Johns Hopkins
  • 62. C“In reality, the young boy raised as a girl always felt that something was wrong, despite all the hormones and surgery and social conditioning he was subjected to. When he was fourteen, his parents told him the truth. Both twins took their own lives in their mid-thirties. Yet Money never backed away from his radical claims.” Excerpt From: Ryan T. Anderson. “When Harry Became Sally”. Apple Books. Transgender Medicine at Johns Hopkins
  • 63. C“A transgender activist might say that the tragic end for the twins only means that the one boy didn’t really have a female gender identity. But Money’s broader theory of gender as something separate from bodily sex would be influential in transgender advocacy. Money promoted his notion of gender fluidity across the United States, and together with a plastic surgeon he founded the Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic in 1965.” Excerpt From: Ryan T. Anderson. “When Harry Became Sally”. Apple Books. Transgender Medicine at Johns Hopkins
  • 64. “The most widely known patient of Dr. Money was David Reimer, a boy who was not born with an intersex condition but whose penis was damaged during circumcision as an infant. David was raised by his parents as a girl named Brenda, and provided with both surgical and hormonal interventions to ensure that he would develop female-typical sex characteristics. However, the attempt to conceal from the child what had happened to him was not successful—he self-identified as a boy, and eventually, at the age of 14, his psychiatrist recommended to his parents that they tell him the truth.” Sexuality and Gender ::Findings from the Biological, Psychological, and Social Sciences, Transgender Medicine at Johns Hopkins
  • 65. “David then began the difficult process of reversing the hormonal and surgical interventions that had been performed to feminize his body. But he continued to be tormented by his childhood ordeal, and took his own life in 2004, at the age of 38. David Reimer is just one example of the harm wrought by theories that gender identity can socially and medically be reassigned in children.” Sexuality and Gender ::Findings from the Biological, Psychological, and Social Sciences, Transgender Medicine at Johns Hopkins
  • 66. Sex Change Biological Impossible What is clear is that biological sex is not a concept that can be reduced to, or artificially assigned on the basis of, the type of external genitalia alone. Surgeons are becoming more capable of constructing artificial genitalia, but these “add-ons” do not change the biological sex of the recipients, who are no more capable of playing the reproductive roles of the opposite biological sex than they were without the surgery.

Editor's Notes

  1. This true God has designed to use to give me some conception of the birth of his only son. He said to us, “My son is my word. in stark reality he is other than i, for i am the Father and he is my son. He is my Son, because i think him. I beget him by my act of infinite self-knowledge; I utter Him as the infinite object of my thought.I am a living God, and my life is thought. Being God, I know my Godhead, and what I know is my son. I am the source of the Godhead, and He is the Godhead as uttered by Infinite Intelligence. He is not I, although He and I are the same one God.”
