Este es el episodio No 75 y el decimoséptimo de la tercera temporada de nuestro podcast  GRANDES FRAUDES CIENTIFICOS.

 

La ideología trans está causando un daño moral a la población pues atenta contra la creación por Dios de los seres humanos. Pero  niega también las reglas de la biología lo cual trae como resultado muerte y sufrimiento como fue el caso de Yaheli descrito en el episodio anterior.

 

En este episodio comenzaré a referirme a este daño físico, pero puntualizando en los daños producidos al organismo como consecuencia del tratamiento de la disforia de género propugnado por gran parte del sector médico. También me estaré refiriendo a las serias connotaciones éticas que esto conlleva, desde las perspectiva científica y de la práctica de la profesión médica.

Presentation and Introduction   0:00

It has been several weeks since I immersed myself in an in-depth investigation of the life of Yaeli Galdámez, her mother and her family and that I summarized in the previous episode. Yaeli's life and tragic death impacted me deeply to such a degree that for a while I could not continue with the episodes of my podcast that are weekly frequency.

Almost 5 weeks later I continue with my episodes even though I still feel the impact of his life and death. I felt that the best tribute I can pay to her, her mother and her family is to continue to denounce this evil ideology in the hope of influencing in some way to liberate even a child from the clutches of trans ideology.

Hello, welcome to episode No 75 and the seventeenth of the third season of our podcast GREAT SCIENTIFIC FRAUDS.

I am your host Dr. Esteban Morales van Kwartel

In the previous episode I presented the heartbreaking story of Yaeli Galdámez, a beautiful young woman who saw sexual transition as a way out of her mental traumas, but who in the end, seeing the destruction of her own body and mind to which trans ideology had led her, chose to take her own life in a way that, it will literally erase his body. 

Up to this point I have referred to the moral damage that this ideology, which threatens God's creation of human beings, is bringing to humanity. For this I have quoted, not only extracts from the Holy Bible, but also documents of the Church.

But not only does this ideology deny the Truth revealed by God but also the rules of biology. The denial of the latter is what leads to tragedies like Yaeli's, which, at different levels of severity, unfortunately occur in numerous people, especially young people. This is a tragedy that is on the rise.

This leads me then to refer to the ethical damage seen from the scientific perspective and from the practice of the medical profession.

 

Other causes of transsexuality.  02:45

Before entering the subject of scientific ethics, I want to make some final comments on some of the causes of transsexuality. 

The two causes of transsexuality mentioned in the previous episode that are added to those I had already mentioned, especially those described in "rapid-onset gender dysphoria", are related to some type of mental disorder. Most of these are linked to the personality of those affected, and to traumatic situations of different kinds. This is also the case with Blanchard's subtypes, especially the non-androphilic type that are also linked to certain types of mental disorders, in this case, paraphilias. Many of these disorders, if sought and detected early, can prevent the destruction of many people's bodies and lives.

The existence of this rapid-onset gender dysphoria," which explains the rapid explosion of emerging gender identities, especially among young women, and the Blanchard typology, which occurs in biological males, have been categorically denied by gender ideologues, even insidiously, to the point of denigrating and undermining the job security of some researchers who have advocated them. This is especially due to the fact that the description of these implies the existence of a clinical problem, instead of a political, cultural, social identity, as gender ideologues see it.

For example, critics who support the position that autogynephilia doesn't exist are really because they assume that those of us who accept the weight of the evidence presented are against transitioning trans women (remember that they are biological men). Activists consider that the theory of autogynephilia is not only incorrect, but stigmatizing and transphobic because it threatens their female gender identities and their lived experiences as women.

What we are saying is that it is necessary to diagnose mental health problems, such as paraphilias in this case, to try to help them with the right therapies before they destroy their body.

There is another likely cause of transition in some men: homosexuality. The issue of homosexuality is extremely complex and controversial. Its causes are not fully understood; There are many theories about this. One of these is presented by scientists such as Dr. Blanchard himself and Dr. Simon Levay

The first found a link between gay children and higher levels of antibodies in the mother's womb against a protein involved in brain development in men. This immune reaction would lead to differences in the way the baby's brain becomes masculinized. This finding dovetailed with what Dr. Levay and other neuroscientists have previously found to have shown differences in brain structure between gay and straight men.

If this and other hypotheses of a biological nature are proven, it could be concluded that homosexuality, at least in this case, would have a biological origin. Due to the need for more studies on this, I am not going to expand on the subject; but the important thing here is that neuroscientists, such as Dr. Soh, suggest that some gay men try to hide their attraction to their own sex by transitioning into a woman's body.

However, this is totally different from trans ideology that is based on alleged gender dysphoria. This is also totally different from the autogynephilia that was explained in the previous episode. These people have zero dissatisfaction with their bodies; there is no gender dysphoria; Therefore, the consequences of the transition in this case are terribly devastating. Once these people see their body, with which they have no disagreement, totally destroyed, their reaction could be terrible. 

This is why trans ideology has also become a great danger for homosexual people, as they are easy prey for an ideology that would lead them to something that would create even greater suffering.

But let's now enter the discussion of the damage caused by trans treatment.

 

Evidence-based medicine   8:45

The debate on how children and adolescents with gender dysphoria should be treated, like any discussion related to people's health, within the perspective of 3 basic components: science, truth, and ethics. In this episode I describe the problem and relate it to the first component: science. For this I must first explain the concept of "evidence-based medicine". 

First, I must emphasize that science is a "method" where hypotheses are created that must be tested or discarded; it is, therefore, discussion and search; it is the most democratic thing that exists after the free will instituted by God. Science is not a paradigm that is arrived at by the consensus of a group. Consequently, the suppression of discussion is against science.

We have been able to observe in the development of scientific events in recent years: the COVID pandemic, inoculation with experimental substances, etc., that it has been only one sector of the scientific world, to which non-traditional sectors have adhered: the political and ideological sector, the media, those who by consensus have taken the heritage of truth and have become the depositories of science.

It is pertinent then to clarify the concept of "evidence-based medicine" and I will do so based on what was expressed by Dr. David L. Sackett, who is the first to order this concept that had already been developed for two centuries.

Dr. Sackett defines it as follows, and I quote:

"The integration, for the practice of medicine, of individual clinical experience with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research."

He refers here to clinical experience as the competence and judgment that physicians acquire through clinical practice.

I must add that systematic research, in the context of science, is method, hypothesis and a scientific spirit that among its components, is a mind open to discussion.

The development and approach of hypotheses has among its fundamental components the performance of long-term, large, randomized (i.e., randomized) and controlled studies. This, especially when it comes to treatments that affect a large sector of the population, especially children and adolescents, as is the case of the problem that I will analyze in a moment.

Finally, it incorporates other elements here, among which is the right and preferences of individual patients to make clinical decisions about their care. The latter is closely related to the patient's right to duly informed knowledge.

The health problem and the treatment it entails involves a large sector of the population and especially affects children and adolescents. 

The treatment of what has been called "gender dysphoria" was usually handled through psychological interventions that addressed the causes of dissatisfaction with their bodies while counteracting the influences of gender ideologies. This approach was considered discriminatory, hateful, homophobic

In recent years, under the influence of the philosophical doctrine of postmodernism that conceives as reality everything that is created by the mind, it is affirmed that the mind is always correct and the body is maladjusted, and new interventions focus on aligning the body with what the mind believes, by implementing the suppression of puberty with drugs that inhibit the sex hormones that must be produced in a different way. natural way at this stage; followed by the administration of cross-sex hormones and sex reassignment surgeries. 

In the next section I will give a very quick summary of the normal changes of puberty and how these drugs used affect children's development. For the latter, I am going to base myself on what is contained in the various references that I have presented throughout the last episodes and on an extensive and excellent review of the literature called "Ethical implications of treatment for gender dysphoria in young people" by Kelsey Hayes. 

 

Puberty and pubertal blockers 14:44

Puberty generally begins around the age of eleven in boys and ten in girls; A small gland in the brain releases two hormones that affect the sex glands of the testicles (in boys) and ovaries (in girls), stimulating the production, respectively, of male sex hormones, testosterone, and female sex hormones, estrogen; it is these that cause the development of puberty.

This is carried out in several stages (5 in total), which occur, depending on the individual, at different ages, presenting the different primary and secondary external sexual characteristics: breasts, genitals, etc., which occur according to sex. Gradual changes in the child allow testosterone production to increase at a certain time, which leads to the development of the characteristics of the male organ, hair distribution, height and voice. In girls, there is an increase in estrogen production, which also allows the development of female sexual characteristics.

What happens when puberty suppression drugs are administered? 

These drugs prevent the production and release of all the hormones mentioned, thus stopping the entire physiological process that I have just described, which totally prevents the development of the sexual characteristics of children and adolescents.

The most commonly used pubertal blocker is Lupron. This and others like it have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of precocious puberty that occurs in some children. This is a health condition that can cause great damage to the child. However, in this case, puberty is only suppressed for a short period until the child reaches an appropriate age for the onset of his development, after which the drug is withdrawn and puberty continues normally.

This drug has also been approved for use in prostate cancer; in endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and other problems related to female hormones. All of this has been duly researched and proven. They are no longer hypotheses but rules of treatment. However, the FDA HAS NEVER APPROVED THE USE OF THESE DRUGS FOR GENDER DYSPHORIA. So again, we are facing the massive use of an experimental drug. 

According to what has been compiled in the different references that I have presented throughout the episodes, one of the arguments used by the proponents of this treatment is to give a period of time to the child diagnosed with gender dysphoria, without the normal changes of puberty that define his body sex, so that he can rehearse the gender identity that his mind is pointing out to him. 

But it happens that, in the first place, as I indicated in the previous episode, that in this early period of puberty it is very difficult to meet the main criterion for this diagnosis, which is to be fully aware of your sexual identity. This is a confused child who is, in general, suffering from what I have called "growing pains" and in which he is also subjected to all the bombardment given by the promoters of gender theory through social networks and schools. Secondly, it is irresponsible, to say the least, to subject a child to a chemical treatment, under a premise that has a political-philosophical and not biological character that the mind is correct and the body is the one that is maladjusted.

Another justification by those who promote its use is that if it is not used at an early age they run a greater risk of suffering greater psychological distress and may be at risk of suicide, self-harm. However, the experience given in the case of Yaeli, described in the previous episode, and many others, in which suicide attempts occur even during the period of use of pubertal blockers, casts doubt on this statement; especially when in most cases psychotherapeutic attention is not given to the underlying causes of this dissatisfaction suffered by most of these children.

The other thing they claim is that, in case young people who take puberty-suppressing drugs ultimately decide not to change their gender, these medications can be discontinued without consequences and development restarts normally. 

In the next section I expand on this point.

 

Conclusions and farewell . 21:00

The first problem with this is that according to the studies I have presented in previous episodes, the use of pubertal blockers by these children leads them almost entirely to adopt a transgender identity and, therefore, leads them, unfortunately, to request the administration of cross-sex hormones; that is, testosterone or estrogen depending on the case, which leads them to severe complications that I will refer to in another episode.

The explanation for this response is that when puberty is stopped by the use of these drugs, as I pointed out in the previous section, the normal increase of male or female sex hormones is inhibited, as the case may be, which prevents the due masculinization or normal feminization of the brain. This causes exposed children to develop a true biological discrepancy between their body and brain development; that is, the normal balance created by God through biology is broken.

On the other hand, the current management of these cases includes psychological treatment, but not the appropriate one that would be to manage the underlying causes of dysphoria, but on the contrary, the so-called "gender affirmation" treatment that the child declares that his mind imposes on him. This inevitably leads already confused children to assume the role of their non-biological sex.

Finally, another more serious and more important problem related to the early use of pubertal blockers in these children is that the proponents of this are flagrantly unaware of the existence of desistance, which has also been explained. Let us remember that according to studies also presented in previous episodes, almost 100% of children who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria give up their desire to transition in subsequent stages of puberty.
