Sitting across from Dr. Walker in his San Francisco Union St. office, I explained that when I was only 4 years old, I started cross-dressing in my grandma's clothes at her house. While I can forgive Dr. Walker for recommending that I start immediately on female hormone therapy in 1981, I cannot forgive the gender therapists today for rushing to a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and provide cross-sex hormones without evaluating the underlying contributing factors.

The way out of rushing to surgical interventions lies in acknowledging that transgender identification has deep roots in the psyche and evaluating gender distress through the lens of adverse childhood experiences

Over the years, I've learned that taking on a transgender identity is not about becoming someone else; it is about erasing oneself. That changes the perspective of treatment away from guiding the person toward a new identity to looking for the reason behind his or her desire for self-destruction.

As a transgender woman, the most loving and compassionate help offered to me came from people who pointed me toward Jesus. Affirming false cross-gender identities is not love; helping someone reclaiming their true identity in Christ is.

The diagnosis of gender dysphoria prematurely puts people on a path to transition while trivializing and dismissing contributing factors such as alcohol and drug abuse, sexual fetishes and co-existing psychological disorders. The trans "treatment" being idolized today should meet the same fate as lobotomies, tooth pulling and colon removal - tossed on the historical rubbish heap of debunked horrific experiments perpetrated on innocent, hurting people.

Billy is not the first who turned to a transgender identity to escape pain and trauma. It's time for psychotherapists to seriously address the unique causes of each individual's gender dysphoria before encouraging them to pursue hormones and surgery.

The transgender community isn't sympathetic to members of the trans-matrix who want to leave. Even so, the red pill population is growing every day.

The problem with basing a diagnosis and irreversible treatment on people's feelings, no matter how deeply felt, is that feelings can change. Corey decided he was a 'transgender' girl. Then his mom decided she was a man.

National Geographic's cover photo is exploitation. The health and well-being of a child are being sacrificed to advance a political and cultural crusade.

Transgenderism is based on feelings that can change over time. I first needed to come to terms with the truth that no amount of surgery or hormones can ever change innate, biological sex.

Stop enabling the delusion that transition is the only answer. Allow scientific research to flourish, no matter what the results show. Look at the evidence and facts and encourage treatment options that address dangerous psychiatric conditions first.

The Southern Poverty Law Center and other LGBT organizations seek to end civil rights for people with same-sex attractions who freely desire therapy rather than to continue in their current lifestyle. Equality in civil rights demands that no one should be unjustly stripped of their lawful, rightful access to effective therapies.

Early pioneers in gender-reassignment surgery and recent clinical studies agree that a majority of transgender people suffer from co-occurring psychological disorders, leading tragically high numbers to commit suicide. Outlawing psychotherapy for transgender people may be politically correct, but it shows a reckless disregard for human lives.

A recent film accurately portrays the deep emotional and psychological problems that transgender people experience, but it fails to address the reality of life after sex reassignment surgery and the need to treat comorbid psychological disorders.

Here's some heartfelt caution for Bruce Jenner from another who had the surgeries, the glamor shots, the excitement, the adulation - and, finally, the regret of going transgender.

Personal and medical experience indicates that switching genders will not give Bruce Jenner peace.

The dark and troubling history of the contemporary transgender movement, with its enthusiastic approval of gender-reassignment surgery, has left a trail of misery in its wake.

Psychologically healthy people do not commit suicide. Changing genders is an outward expression of some form of depression that started long before the suicide. Studies have shown conclusively that suicide is the result of mental illness and untreated depression, but the elite who push for gender change ignore the evidence.

The reprieve provided by surgery and life as a woman was only temporary. Hidden deep underneath the make-up and female clothing was the little boy hurt by childhood trauma, and he was making himself known.
