What is transgenderism? Transgenderism is not a medical problem: being transgender is being a part of a gender ideology. Transsexuality is the actual issue at hand being debated, as transgender individuals are mimicking transsexuality; I will be speaking about both. Many different viewpoints are taken into account when in consideration, and none of them are based in reality: When it comes down to the truth, there are many different factors in place as to what is really occurring. For the sake of simplicity, I will be only discussing the impact of hormones at this current moment.



Hormones are in control of the entire body. We are a slave to our hormones as they decide our biological sex, when we go to sleep, and when we are allowed to eat. Hormone imbalances and disruptions are the root cause of many different medical conditions. Unfortunately, in medicine, hormones are most often taken into the sidelines. They are ignored in favor of more complex, and expensive, solutions. The importance of using natural versus synthetic hormones is also not taken into account.



In reference to medical treatment of transgender individuals, hormones are frequently a hot topic, but what exactly do they mean by hormones? When we speak of hormones being used in medicine, most often we are speaking of synthetic hormones. Synthetic sex hormones are being used to flood the system of an individual, causing them to develop the characteristics of the opposite sex. This is problematic for many reasons, most directly because the body is not easily fooled. Synthetic hormones cause the immune system to wreak havoc on the body because it will constantly be attempting to remove the supply of hormonal mimics.



What is the culprit of many different mental problems? Hormones. Hormones regulate not only the body, but also the mind. A great example of this would be what occurs when women have higher than average levels of natural Testosterone. Women tend to be more aggressive and more irritable when they have too much in their system. This is a natural level of variation. What would occur in the body of a biological woman being flooded with a constant influx of synthetic Testosterone? Few bodies would be able to tolerate without permanent damage. No levels of synthetic sex hormones are healthy in any quantity. Not even men can healthily tolerate the effects of synthetic Testosterone, and especially not in the quantity it would take for an otherwise healthily regulated woman to develop the secondary sex characteristics of a man. Keep in mind, anabolic-androgenic steroids are the same, or similar, chemicals that doctors are giving to FtM’s as “T.” The only difference is the reason for usage.



Sex hormones play a huge role in our biological sex. Actually, they are the only factor in place in the womb: We all start out the same, and sex hormones are what cause us to develop into male or female in the womb. I believe that there are two main causes of transsexuality (the medical terminology for the condition that transgenderism is mimicking) occurring have to do with hormones. The first cause has to do with development in the womb.



Transsexuality that occurs from birth is going to be the strongest form. This is where parents are seen speaking of how they “always knew” when their children come out as transgender. This is occurring because the body does not form according to the directives from the sex hormones: The sex hormones are what are telling the body to form as either male or female. For example, the body is producing female hormones, but the body forms male: This would generally be considered a birth defect. To reiterate, the reproductive system is the only true, natural difference between men and women. Sex hormones are a part of the reproductive system, and therefore are different. Sex hormones are the cause of any and all differences between male and female bodies. If a male body is flooded with female hormones from birth, they will have the reproductive system and body of a man, but their hormones will not match the system. In order to cure (not just “fix”) transsexuality in this specific instance, wouldn’t you want to stifle the influx of female hormones to match the male body, instead of adding more female hormones to further the dysphoria?



You cannot fix a male reproductive system that has already developed, but you can alter the sex hormones to stifle the production of female sex hormones. As stated previously, hormones affect both mind and body. If you flood the system with more female hormones, you are advancing the condition, not curing the condition. In order to have a transsexual individual feel more comfortable in their body, the solution is to cure the hormonal issue, not to further advance the hormonal issue.



In relation to transgender ideology, “treatment” is actually the root CAUSE of gender dysphoria. They did not have any actual dysphoria being caused by their own bodies. They are drawn into a movement, change their bodies, and now they have actually caused the medical problem that they did not previously have. Their systems are flooded with the sex hormones of the opposite sex, which is the root cause of the health issues in a transsexual individual. In order to cure transgenderism, you must STOP giving them the hormones of the opposite sex. Stopping sex hormones can also cause greater dysphoria. You must also now give them the hormones for their appropriate sex, because their own ability to produce natural sex hormones has been disrupted. Medical professionals and ideologists are making it very hard to differentiate between transsexuality and transgenderism, as they do not make any distinction. Is it really that hard to test hormonal levels? Transsexuals are getting sucked into gender ideology, and they would be considered the strongest advocates by the general public. This also makes it further harder for anyone to differentiate between the two.

There is another subset of the group that could be considered medically transsexual. This would be the influx of transsexual individuals who are either going through puberty or menopause. I believe this is a problem due to the massive oversight on the impact of both puberty and menopause. Both of these events are huge occurrences and have a huge impact on the human body. With puberty, you are entering the age of reproduction, and with menopause, you are exiting. In both of these life stages, hormones are changing. The different levels of sex hormones are either increasing, dropping, or fluctuating in a seemingly unpredictable manner.



Although it is commonly ignored, men also go through their own menopause when exiting the age of reproduction. I believe this would explain the influx of older men claiming they are transgender and that they always knew, although showing no signs until then. Male menopause, not unlike female menopause, causes sex hormones to significantly drop or change form. This is the equivalent of a store going out of business: The building still remains, but everything that made up the integrity and structure of that business is now gone, and a new business moves in. They must keep the original building, meaning the same amount of hormones must stay. With depleting levels of Testosterone, female sex hormones take its place. Both sexes have both male and female hormones in their systems naturally. The levels change depending on how much of the primary is in the system. It is normal to have both, it is not normal to be flooded with the hormones of the opposite sex. If a man does not have enough Testosterone, it will be replaced by the body with Estrogen. This is also how hormone replacement therapy works, but it is medically crafted instead of a natural occurrence. HRT is used in combination of flooding the system with hormones. If the man is now flooded with Estrogen during male menopause, that may be a bit confusing for both the mind and body, especially due to the fact that male menopause is never even as much as acknowledged as existing.



Female menopause is not as drastic. As you may notice, there are not a whole lot of middle aged women transitioning themselves. There is one reason for this. This occurs due to the fact that female menopause is widely known of and spoken of. Women have a general idea of what is happening to their bodies. On the other hand, men believe they are turning into women. They are obviously not, but they also have the belief that men and women are both entirely different species. Many men have the belief that if they are similar to a woman, if their body is doing something reminiscent to a woman’s body, they must be women. They are in denial of their bodies own natural processes.

Current methods in place for helping transsexual and transgender individuals are damaging in methods that most do not understand. You can not change a male body into a female body, or a female body into a male body. You can mimic it, but it will never be anyone’s biological reality. Gender ideology, and why it is bad, can be easily understood when you are armed with an understanding of how the human body works.
