Is Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy the Cause of Parents Pushing Kids to Become Transsexual?
2019-10-27

[BrassPills] It seems almost inconceivable that a good parent would simply accept it when their small child claims to be a different gender.

...It is beyond belief, especially since 10 years ago, across the political spectrum, almost no one would have gone along with this. There haven’t been any great scientific discoveries or reasons that this makes sense, the political winds just shifted and half the country, including to their eternal shame, many teachers, government officials & psychologists, just went along with it. This has created a situation where schools are actually promoting being transgender to kids, who then go along with it and go to a psychologist who feeds their delusion and then the government comes along to stiff-arm anyone who suggests that they might be making a mistake.

This is despite the fact that 40% of transgender kids attempt to commit suicide and the number may arguably be HIGHER among people that have mutilated themselves via surgery. This is despite the fact that 70-80% of kids that think they are the other gender at some point, later change their minds.

Today, when I was doing the Jaz McKay show, Jaz suggested something brilliant about the parents of these kids that I had not thought of before.

He suggested many of the parents pushing this idea on their children may be suffering from a new type of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy.

    Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) ‐ or Munchausen by proxy ‐ is a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care.

    MSP is a relatively rare behavioral disorder. It affects a primary caretaker, often the mother. The person with MSP gains attention by seeking medical help for exaggerated or made-up symptoms of a child in his or her care. As health care providers strive to identify what’s causing the child’s symptoms, the deliberate actions of the mother or caretaker can often make the symptoms worse.

#3  The offending word was m@sturbation.

#2  Men emasculated by their narcissistic wives and shouted back at by their young can't be role models. The dominating archetype in the developing years becomes a 'brawling woman' from which there is no escape. Puberty brings a neurochemical whirlpool - the chief demands of the senses being sexual experience. At an age where approaching the opposite sex for release is questionable, the subject may take to m@sturbation. You will notice that only the unhealthy looking specimens will stick to just that, for an understandable fear of rejection. Self worth and confidence are essential ingredients of a healthy sex life and vice versa. M@sturbation and fetishes too do not satiate the angst created by an opposite sex archetype for self worth, leading to exploration of alternatives that will create friction with acceptable living. An easier solution is provided by the popular fallacy that 'gender is fluid', which emerged out of the 'love yourself as you are' doctrine of modern psychiatry.

Basically, 'if you can't fuck 'em, you can join 'em.'

The insurmountable LHS created in the mind is now answered by a suitable RHS and the equation is resolved for the psyche. This is only rudimentary conditioning and reinforcement though, a sort of Pavlovian trick to make the individual think his needs are only easier met, if he alters his biology. It can't stand the test of life, as the article says. It's bound to come crashing at a later age and destroy what little self-worth there could have been. The individual will hence consider he was 'toyed with' and used by the world, he will want to hate his parents and doctors and counselors and find no escape from the memory of it all.

I have seen this and similar phenomena playing out in some rich families, and observed women unwittingly driving their sons to homosexuality, then to total lipsticked 'freedom' from reality. God even saved a life from being ruined, and I was of use. The cure entailed a re-balancing of the power order in the family really.

The Georgulas phenomenon is newer, maybe begun by hollywood moms and taken up by other narcissistic women. It is militant, empowered by a confused legal system. A woman power thing, it entails literally forcing a boy to become a girl. A kind of planned, historic revenge on the male sex, carried out on mostly adopted or foster children.

In a sane society, it would be termed abuse and the kid separated by the CPS, the pervert jailed. A judge would only be needed to sign warrants and not to arbitrate on who's a better parent.

#1  My two cents. I think I'll have to do it in parts.

It's mainly overbearing mothers that are behind this. I'm guessing this sort of thing primarily affects homes where the pants are worn by the lady and the man is just a hapless bread earner, or not even that.
