Thank you for sharing the efforts of this lawyer. The so-called 'gender industry' is full of youth on psych meds. All parents dealing with this issue should read this. The drugs might come before the steroids, others come after but it is widespread. A trans identification sometimes does not happen until an interaction with industry occurs. The harms are compounded on top of cross sex hormones and psych meds by others to manage symptoms. Drugs like finasteride, with a scary risk profile, is given to females to manage hair loss. It is all beyond belief but true.
"Right now one of the things people say against this is "dying with their rights on" as a justification for ignoring their rights."
True, and worthy of examination.
When we examine the motives of those using that phrase, we reach a deeper understanding. They can be separated into two cohorts; those who know better, and "useful idiots."
Both cohorts are normative in the sense of operating from self-interest, but there are variations in what serves those interests. To say "follow the money" is useful and appropriate, but incomplete.
The self-interests of prescribing practitioners, are dependent on reputation; they present as infallible diagnosticians, which drives their business model. The useful idiots can be further subdivided into those who are dealing with the persistent maladaptive behaviors of others in obligatory scenarios, and those who are uninvolved and incurious.
The practitioners seek remuneration. Those who are obliged to cope with others' actions, seek to throw money at the problem, as an escape tactic. The uninvolved and incurious seek social reward.
Understanding motive, is an essential first step to resolving the problem.
It's the heartless and lazy way to deal with human suffering, just drug 'em. It just kicks the can further down the road. We all suffer, as the consequences fill our cities and streets with tents and debris. Hahnemann revolutionized the approach to mental and emotional symptoms with his humane treatments. Not sure how efficacious homoeopathy really is, but I am sure kindness is therapeutic and can heal. Roger McFillin writes good articles on his Substack on the harms of SSRI's. However, many people who take psyche drugs believe they are helped by them and resent the move to have their perceived lifeline cut. Something is better than nothing in their mind, I guess. We can't leave people in a vacuum, we need alternative workable solutions. It does start with creating safe environments for children. A high divorce rate leads to long term financial stress and emotional distress for children. It should be more difficult to get a divorce when children are involved. If a spouse is abusive on any level, then divorce is necessary. Too much marketing emphasizes romance, but there is little social conditioning to support the task of working at a marriage, one partner cannot carry the other on their back. Then there is the breakdown of extended family support due to young people drawn by adventure to relocate without considering the long-term consequences of losing family ties. Modern life is wrecking mental health. There are indigenous tribes that don't experience mental health calamities, we could learn a lot from those societies.
I would like to point out that internet pornography is not exactly helping the family. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Nor is the drug zombie apocalypse. Nor is the gambling epidemic. I am trying to think of what is actually going well in America at this juncture and honestly, I cannot think of much. Our defense budget is topping a trillion dollars while I literally see a ton of homeless Americans in my state. Many are on drugs but there are plenty who are not. If our defense budget is a trillion dollars, why do we have so many illicit drugs? Would not defense include ensuring that we’d protect our population from drugs pouring in? I can assure everyone that the drugs and porn are not helping the family. So we have the resources to blow people up abroad but we cannot take care of our own people? I saw a lot of elderly people packed into a church last winter when we had subzero temps. My friend and I brought food and blankets to the church after several people froze to death in the parking lot and they finally opened the church to prevent more deaths. We will house the Venezuelan population, give them medical care but we won’t take care of our own people? Who makes these stupid rules? I was asked by a pastor if I wanted to help package crappy food to send to “the poor people of Haiti”. Gotta say, I looked at the guy like he had 3 heads and said, “No, because we have a TON of homeless and starving people right outside your door that we could be serving.” I fail to see what is going well in America these days. Just saying.
The rampant pornography causes a society to decay, just like the effort to derive sustenance from junk food, and its highly profitable like candy. There is a movement where men are blaming women for their own lack of grit, which further weakens whatever strength of character they have. This movement is insidious. There are phenomena of toxic masculinity and toxic femininity but those arise from character flaws not gender. It is heartbreaking to see throw away people on the streets. Children raised with security and love are unlikely to break. But there is no security for children when divorce is rampant, and I am not against divorce when absolutely necessary. The world has always been a vale of tears. Charles Dickens writing showed how dismal life for most was during his time. The only power an individual has I think is to embrace critical thinking to get as close to the truth as possible, so as not to continue polluting the local psychological atmosphere with ideas born of ignorance and greed.
Yes, I have broached this with “local authorities”, senators and congressmen. They are really not interested. Which is why I think we are governed by criminals. My ancestors came to America on the Mayflower. I don’t think they came here for this. This is all illogical.
The brain constantly receives information from our environment, and reacts appropriately, secreting the appropriate chemicals-neurotransmitters without our conscious awareness. The state of human society today, is such that anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and irrational behavior are appropriate responses-behaviors. The problem is the f**ked up society in which we live, not the brains normal-natural response. F**ked up society produces f**ked up people.
We use the “just drug ‘em” in elder care facilities as well. I adore elderly people so I thought I would try working at a tiered-care facility. Not only was the food quality horrendous, the place was extremely expensive but understaffed, thus drugging the crap out of the elderly to keep them quiet and docile was the means the facility used to deal with such matters. I later discovered that it was owned by a hotel chain out of Chicago. So sad. We really could learn much from indigenous tribes. They tend to treat their elders with reverence for their wisdom from what I have read.
I recently returned from a small city in Europe. Most of the elderly lived at home, with their kids coming regularly to check in on them. One neighbour routinely brought food to the elderly women living down the cul-de-sac. The younger neighbours kept an eye on the older ones. It seems like a natural flow.
It seems to me that it is the natural way, the compassionate way. I took care of my great aunt and my mother-in-law when she was old and dying. I spent a lot of time listening when I was at the tiered facility, that’s for sure. They just wanted to be seen and heard. Not entertained, just heard.
I think the pressures are greater in the U.S., so adult kids simply don't have the time or energy to take on such care. Also, it is far more common for extended families to live in the same place in Europe, which is a huge boon for the elderly.
Certainly the economic warfare is not helpful. We had the biggest wealth transfer during Convid. I read David A. Hughes latest book and the wealth transfer was off the chain. Many are barely keeping heads above water so I see your point.
So many young people have college debt, no chance of saving for a house. They are trapped in low paying jobs to pay high rent. I hope Trump can bring back the American dream for the middle class. We have yet to see how AI will affect life, but it will drastically.

Many used mental illness as an excuse for alcohol or Illicit drug use or both. They were born evil, brains never could accept they were wrong. They get high from their heinous acts.

Ain't that the truth!

Holy cow, great response. You should be a professional writer. No joke. Thank you for a very well-thought reply.

Right! Appropriate responses to a dysfunctional environment.
