A London psychiatrist, Dr. Az Hakeem, authored Detrans: When Transition is Not the Solution. He had spent 12 years working with children at the United Kingdom's government-funded Tavistock gender clinic:
• "I say affirmation therapy is not therapy—it's grooming" them to accept the idea they were born in the wrong body, said Dr. Hakeem, a fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and honorary associate clinical professor at University College London Medical School.
• He predicts in the next 5-10 years, society will see a massive number of so-called detransitoners, people who try to reverse steps they took in an attempt to medically change their gender. That's because of an expected 8,000-fold increase in patients undergoing procedures and taking medications meant to try to alter their gender.
Hakeem explained:
• “When a person is feeling confused about his or her identity, he or she may assume that it has to do with gender, especially with the current climate of affirmation of that kind of thinking.”
• "It's the only medical intervention that I know of for which there was no evidence," Dr. Hakeem said. "There are no outcome studies for this."
• “To medically castrate children with hormones or surgery is akin to the use of lobotomies or thalidomide in the 1950s and 1960s.
• The mental health profession has been captured ideologically, he said, even to the point of affirming children's beliefs that they are cats and dinosaurs.
• "We know that most kids who are gender nonconforming or questioning their gender grow out of it, especially at puberty."
Hakeen has to be applauded for his courage. However, he no longer counsels patients on matters of gender identity because it's "too politically dangerous.”
Why repression and intimidation by our previously most trusted institutions? I think that it is the result of the perfect storm of many factors including:
1. Hatred of Constraining Traditional Values
2. Hatred of any Voice that Reinforces Their Already Guilty Consciences
3. Twisted Ideas about Compassion and Love
4. Self-Righteousness—the Need to Believe Themselves Virtuous Having Rejected the Christian Means of Righteousness
5. Marxist/Leftist and Islamic Desires to Bring the West Down
6. Jealousy, Fear, and Hatred of the System
7. Complacency of Those who Know Better
This has all been prophesied:
2 Timothy 3:1–5 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
