The giant swallowtail visited my former home in Kingston a few years ago. I hope I’ll have some in the new gardens. I’ve seen a half dozen monarch butterflies so far, a hopeful sign for their populations. I inherited quite a lot of milkweed here and will let you know if the caterpillars show up!
Below, the middle section of Dr. Karla Solheim’s article in The Free Press about quitting the enterprise of surgical body modifications in service of “gender transition.” The L of LGB has been gaslit and manipulated by the TQ, with special award for most malfeasance to WPATH, World Professional Association for Transgender Health, with their always over the top misrepresentation and constant hysterical accusations. See under: Admiral Richard Rachel Levine testimony before Congress in the last administration.
Dr. Karla Solheim was associated with an LGBTQ health center in a small town in Iowa for a year, in addition to her other obstetrics and gynecology practice. Like many lesbians who didn’t read Transsexual Empire by Janice Raymond, a lesbian who saw from the start how this movement would bulldoze into lesbian groups, Solheim is waking up to the nonsense.
Because my former husband, Neddy, insisted we’re lesbians and I’m a bigot for seeking the divorce, I’m uniquely aware of this co-optation of lesbian expression by therapists, crossdressing men, autogynophiles and trans allies for the purpose of shoehorning men with a fetish into every kind of lesbian meet-up group, be it book clubs, hiking associations or knitting circles.
I apologize in advance for the paragraphs in color. I could not figure out how to get back out of the purple rabbit hole.
I didn’t mind this at the time.
I performed over a dozen “gender-affirming” hysterectomies—surgery to remove a uterus—on patients who, in some cases, had traveled hundreds of miles to see me. It’s a major medical procedure, which comes with risks as serious as death.
By this point, all of the gender-affirming hysterectomies I performed were on biological women who were seeking to transition to men and who had plans to be on lifelong testosterone treatment.
(Ute’s note: First of all, I can’t seem to get out of this print color mode! I call the above sentiment an episode of “shocked doctor syndrome” which Ray Blanchard, originator of the fake 2 year “Blanchard Protocols” included in almost every published interview. “No one can understand the feelings of the trans patient” is my paraphrase of his excuse for sending patients down a dangerous path of socially inept narcissism. He and his mental health provider cohort demonstrated complete lack of comprehension of the inevitable family collateral damage and financial abuse of wives and children of men with crossdressing proclivities. “Oh the wives don’t like it,” is Blanchard’s famous response to the inconvenient fact of the existence of trans widows; the wives, ex-wives, ex-partners.)
Dr. Solheim continues:
(Ute’s note: Here we go again, the bullying of lesbians by advocates of trans ideology. Next thing you know, this liberal doctor will be called a “Right Wing Christian Conservative.”)
Dr. Solheim continues:
The research basis into gender medicine both for adolescents and adults was not just poor; it was fraudulent.
(Ute’s note: I transcribed a great many of the speeches at that hearing, which are on this same blog. Simon Amaya Price and his father presented a moving story of resisting the mental health practitioners’ pressure to start medicalizing. Unlike detransitioners who have permanent bodily damage, Price “merely” has to deal with the lost time and lost relationships from the years when he identified as female.)
(Ute’s note: My humble suggestion for the first response to a teen or young adult presenting with “gender dysphoria” is to go on a schedule of limited time online, no ipads or phones or computers in the bedroom at night, remove as many mirrors as possible from the home and start wholesome hobbies like family Scrabble night and gardening. In other words, use your mind in a cognitive behavior therapy manner to overcome the obsessive thinking patterns.)
Dr. Solheim continues:
(Ute’s note: this is classic “no debate” strategy, constantly used by crossdressing men and their allies. Girls have been groomed into this during vulnerable phases of life, like puberty, by internet influencers, gay/straight alliance school groups and the socially inappropriate male crossdressers who volunteer to lead teen groups at LGBTQ+ centers. Ray Blanchard and his “we’ll never understand what its like” attitude promoted this. I will wait until one of us meets our maker for him to recognize and apologize for the malpractice he’s committed as the lead “trans researcher” of the 20th century.)
Dr. Solheim continues:
(Ute’s note: I will post the last part of Dr. Solheim’s article with my commentary soon. Please share this as widely as possible and let us know in the comments if you’ve got links to any appearances Dr. Solheim makes in the media. She’s going through the same whistleblower stages as Jamie Reed, the founder of LGB Alliance. They have a YouTube channel, which might be called Courage Coalition. They post every weekend. Dr. Solheim is now part of this organization. It’s interesting to me that Sophie Cunningham’s clear and streamlined statements on girls’ sports are cresting on the internet. It’s all of a piece, if you ask me.)
