THE RELIGION OF TRANSGENDERISM II

Tranny Janissaries and the Blood Tax

If you’re educated in the West, it’s drilled into you by the time you’re in high school that totalitarian regimes always end up ‘coming for your children’. One need only to recall a very ill and physically weak Adolf Hitler inspecting the child soldiers making a last stand for the Third Reich. Or we can remember the story of Pavlik Morozov, the Stalinist-era teen who denounced his father and reported him to the NKVD for criticizing the regime.

The lesson that we were taught was that these totalitarians purposely weakened the bond between parents and child so as to neuter the family as a rival centre of loyalty. The state had to be the only organization that could command one’s devotion.

We scoffed at the notion that it could happen here. But it is happening here. The overwhelming triumph of LGBTism is the triumph of the individual over the family, and the triumph of the state over it as well. By turning children against their parents through toxic ideologies, the state creates willing Janissaries, fanatical in their determination that its family that is wrong.

Abigail Shirer has written an incredible piece on what happens when the state apparatus comes for your children in the name of transgenderism. My contention is that the ability of the state to wrest away children as young as 13 from their families without the permission of the family is simply a 21st century version of the Devshirme (Blood-Tax), the Ottoman practice of kidnapping Christian boys, circumcizing them, converting them to Islam, and training them to become Janissaries for the Sultan.

Ahmed is a Pakistani immigrant, a faithful Muslim, and until recently, a financial consultant to Seattle’s high-tech sector. But when he reached me by phone in October 2020, he was just one more frightened father. Days earlier, he and his wife had checked their 16-year-old son into Seattle Children’s Hospital for credible threats of suicide. Now, Ahmed was worried that the white coats who had gently admitted his son to their care would refuse to return him.

“They sent an email to us, you know, ‘you should take your ‘daughter’ to the gender clinic,’” he told me.

At first, Ahmed (I have changed names in this essay to protect the identities of minor children) assumed there had been a mistake. He had dropped off a son, Syed, to the hospital, in a terrible state of distress. Now, the email he received from the mental health experts used a new name for that son and claimed he was Ahmed’s daughter. “They were trying to create a customer for their gender clinic . . . and they seemed to absolutely want to push us in that direction,” he said when I spoke to him again this May, recalling the horror of last October. “We had calls with counselors and therapists in the establishment, telling us how important it is for him to change his gender, because that’s the only way he’s going to be better out of this suicidal depressive state.”

It’s important for professional anti-racists to find racism, lest they lose their jobs. British Feminists have been informing me how the UK organization Stonewall, which had its roots in advocacy for gays and lesbians, had to switch to promoting transgenderism because they advocated themselves out of work with the string of political victories that they achieved.

Gender Reassignment is a growth industry. It requires new patients just like the Sacklers required pill-poppers that they mocked as “Pillbillies”.

The bait:

As child psychiatrist and expert in gender dysphoria Susan Bradley said to me: “The messages these kids pick up [from trans influencers] when they’re online is, ‘We’re the only people who understand you. Your people, your parents, don’t really understand you.’ And it may be the first time in their lives that anybody has said to them, ‘We understand you. We know you. You’re okay. You’re just like us.’ And it’s powerful.”

I asked Bradley if introducing gender ideology to kids who tend to fixate is like introducing cocaine to those susceptible to addiction. She agreed: “It has the same power to assuage all the alienation and grief and distress that these kids have been struggling with.”

The Blood-Tax for those as young as 13:

The age at which minors in the State of Washington can receive mental health and gender-affirming care without parental permission is 13. In other words, the emails Ahmed received from the hospital were effectively a courtesy; the hospital did not require Ahmed’s permission to begin his son on a path to medical transition.

But unlike some other parents I would later speak with, Ahmed’s cool head prevailed. Believing he might be walking into a trap, Ahmed reached out to both a lawyer and a psychiatrist friend he trusted. The psychiatrist gave him advice that he believes saved his son, saying, in Ahmed’s words: “You have to be very, very careful, because if you come across as just even a little bit anti-trans or anything, they’re going to call the Child Protective Services on you and take custody of your kid.” The lawyer told Ahmed the same: “What you want to do is agree with them and take your kid home. When the gender counselors advise you to ‘affirm,’ go along with it. Just say ‘Uh-huh, uh-huh, okay, let’s take him home, and we’ll go to the gender clinic.’”

Ahmed assured Seattle Children’s Hospital that he would take his son to a gender clinic and commence his son’s transition. Instead, he collected his son, quit his job, and moved his family of four out of Washington.

This is a very long investigative piece and well worth your time reading in full here. (read more)
