A medical diagnosis for a mental disorder according to the DSM IV, which indicates a “strong and persistent cross-gender identification.” In previous versions of the DSM, this had been called “Gender Dysphoria“, but now that term is used specifically to refer to a specific psychological criterion of GID which requires that “there must also be evidence of persistent discomfort about one’s assigned sex or a sense of inappropriateness in the gender role of that sex.”
In the ICD, this mental disorder remains known as the more common term “transsexualism“, which as its first diagnostic criterion requires the individual to have a “desire to live and be accepted as a member of the opposite sex, usually accompanied by the wish to make his or her body as congruent as possible with the preferred sex through surgery and hormone treatment.” As with gender dysphoria, homosexuality alone does not clinically satisfy this criterion, but is strongly affirming when in conjunction with other desires to be the opposite sex.
A set of International Standards of Care guide most physicians, and therapists around the world in a widely accepted medical process that begins with a form of Reparative Therapy, which is intended to dissuade patients from the permanent and irreversible physical alterations that could seriously damage their mental health. Patients are expected, and strongly encouraged to attempt to resolve this disorder without physical intervention; however when such therapy has been found to not make a positive impact on the patient’s mental health, then the standards indicate physical interventions, which are focused and intended to improve the mental health of the patient, or ease their assimilation into the new role in order to alleviate stress from societal, and cultural pressures against transsexualism.
(NaturalNews.com) One particular herbicide, Atrazine, has now been found to turn male frogs into hermaphrodites, rendering them impotent by causing their gonads to produce eggs. A subject of great scientific and political controversy, Atrazine was first introduced in 1958 and today is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. It is a potential carcinogen and has a half-life in soil of anywhere from 15 to 100 days. This time allows for Atrazine biodegration, during which the chemical is dechlorinated until it produces a an end product of cyanuric acid, a toxic compound.
This is mind-blowing.
The same chemical Alex Jones warned was “turning the frogs gay” is destroying testosterone levels in the U.S. population.
Adding insult to injury, this testosterone-depleting chemical is banned across Europe but not the United States.

Atrazine is also used throughout the world in the production of maize, sorghum, sugar cane, pineapples, chemical fallows, grassland, macadamia nuts, conifers forestry, roses and grassland. Its most common application is for use in conservation tillage systems to prevent soil erosion and runoff, and to prevent weeds from growing in major crops. As a result, a good deal of the Atrazine applied to crops is washed into rivers, streams, lakes and municipal drinking water supplies.
In 2002, a breakthrough study on the environmental effects of Atrazine was led by Dr. Tyrone B. Hayes, an associate professor of integrative biology at the University of California at Berkeley. The research revealed that Atrazine not only contaminates ground and surface water, but also is an endocrine disruptor — chemically castrating all male amphibians by stripping them of a key hormone. This appears to have had a major impact on wild amphibians and is likely to be an important contributor to this species’ global decline.
“What struck us as unbelievable was that Atrazine could cause such dramatic effects at such low levels,” said Hayes. “If you take five grains of salt, divide this weight by five thousand, that is the amount of Atrazine that causes these abnormalities. Atrazine-exposed frogs don’t have normal reproductive systems. The males have ovaries in their testes and much smaller vocal organs.
“The use of Atrazine in the environment is basically an uncontrolled experiment — there seems to be no Atrazine-free environment. Because it is so widespread, aquatic environments are at risk. It is obviously affecting frogs. We have shown serious effects on their sexual development. Some had three ovaries and three testes, some had ovaries on one side and testes on the other, one animal even had six testes…We need to ask the questions, ‘What are the environmental costs of using Atrazine? What diversity have we lost?'”
Big Pharma, as Always, Has the ‘Solution’
Camille Paglia, professor of humanities and media studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, highlighted left-wing denial of the biological origins of sex, including left-wing framing of sex as an arbitrary and subjective social construct on Denis Prager’s radio show in October 2019. “These ideas aren’t based on any actual study of biology,” she said. Paglia noted much of the news media’s ambivalence towards the aforementioned experimentation on children:
I think that experiments of unproven drugs — drug protocols — on children is a crime against humanity, and it should not be tolerated. It amazes me there is hardly any media attention to this matter. I think the future will look back with surprise and shock at the ethical indifference of the major media right now in the United States to this going on. It is simply not right. These drugs have not been fully tested, and we’re using children as experiments? Boys forever are going to have, in adulthood, a child’s size penis? I cannot believe that this is happening without protest.
“Don’t imagine that the child knows his or her future identity at age three, or ten, for that matter,” added Paglia. “Flash-freezing a child’s development through the introduction of drugs — pre-puberty, on and so on — seems to me, should be recognizably, not just wrong, but horrific.”
Paglia reflected on her own gender dysphoria, speculating on how her maturation may have unfolded differently had she been exposed to ubiquitous contemporary left-wing characterizations of sex as a purely social construct:
If all of this was in the air when I was young, I would have become absolutely convinced that I was really a man, and I think I would have probably been vulnerable to that fantasy until my mid-twenties, probably. … And completing my massive 700-page book Sexual Personae, in a sense, exorcised that. … Right from the start, in 1990, I was describing that book as a transgender construction. It’s a voice. It’s an other self. I’ve never felt female, but I don’t feel male, either. … I would have been obsessed.
“I feel that — and I’ve said this publicly — prescribing puberty blockers to children is a violation of human rights,” determined Paglia.
