Transgender ‘Care’ in North America: The Island of Dr. Moreau
Throughout history, there have been occasional castration cults. The Heaven’s Gate cult in America believed that their “core beings” would ascend to “the next level” into a comet after they committed suicide, some members first choosing to be castrated. The Skoptsy in Russia practiced castration and mastectomy to eliminate sexual lust. There was castration in the Aravan cult. In India, the Tritiya Prakriti refers to both self-castration and homosexuality while in ancient times, the priests of Cybele castrated themselves.
It is not an exaggeration to state that these professionals don’t know what the hell they’re doing.
The present-day transgender movement is also a castration cult. The difference between the past and present cults is that the latter (a) uses chemical poisoning as well as physical mutilation, and, (b) the main focus of converts is children, with schools being a recruitment ground.

The victims have mounted. From the media’s silence on people with transgender regret and the constant promotion of gender dysphoria transitioning, one would think that all transgenders are happy and well-adjusted because they changed genders. The truth is otherwise. Many persons who have gone through the procedure have subsequently regretted it. Some have retaliated against the quacks. And one study found that suicides by transgenders were higher than those individuals with gender dysphoria who had not transitioned.
Remember that the same people who told us the Covid-19 virus would kill millions of otherwise healthy people, promised the “vaccine” was safe and would prevent contagion, shut down schools though children were immune, and put the country under house arrest, are the very same people who now insist transgender women are really women, support biological men competing against women in sports, encourage children to submit to sexual mutilation, and persecute and fire those who voice dissent.
And just as the media promoted the lies and enforced censorship around the Covid fiasco, it has promoted the transgender cult and censored uncomfortable facts and views because it is “hate speech.” Any dissent from the cult’s ideology, as in a book, is considered to be “violent” and must be censored.
Regardless, medical malpractice is rampant in the field of “gender affirmation.” For years, pro-transgender children and their neurotic parents were told that puberty blockers had no harmful side effects. This is wrong. In the UK, as a result of the recent Cass Review, the NHS has banned puberty blockers for children. Yet, as journalist Suzanne Moore points out, “Nothing that Cass said has not been voiced before: the whistle-blowers, the detransitioners, the clinicians who left in droves let us know.” I wrote the very same thing years ago. Nor were we the only ones. As an anonymous person simply put it, “It does not take a study to KNOW this is WRONG.”
Even Bill Maher pointed out the insanity of the transgender cult.
As a result of the Cass Review, Belgium, Holland, England, Finland, France, Switzerland, and Scotland quickly put the brakes on puberty blockers.
Not America.
Which brings to mind Gad Saad’s observation: “I am amazed at people’s unwillingness to deviate from their original anchored position even if I drown you in evidence to the contrary.”
But it gets worse. Much worse.
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) has for years been consulted by the Endocrine Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, and individual doctors in the UK and Canada. Internal documents and tapes have revealed its members promoting unethical practices. Its foundation is solidly pseudoscientific, and its members are obsessed with “activism” (a polite way of saying progressive propaganda). Experimental sexual mutilation of children and those with mental disorders as well as the absence of customary informed consent is commonplace.
Common also is the medical staff’s dismissal of the presence of psychological disorders, including psychosis, the minimizing of adverse effects of “gender affirming” procedures (i.e., sexual mutilations and puberty blockers), the admission of the absence of long term studies, and the euphemisms used to make the surgeries palatable to minors. It is not an exaggeration to state that these professionals don’t know what the hell they’re doing — but they are happy doing it. Mutilating children, apparently, makes them feel good.
Here is a description of a procedure given by Dr. Alex Laungani, a Canadian plastic surgeon, in a closed-to-the-public presentation in September 2022 hosted by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH): It’s a lot to ask, for your body to have the vaginal cavity obliterated, the vaginal mucosa removed, the urethra lengthened, the phalloplasty done with the flap transposed, and then to do everything and then put the penile implant and all that.” More: “It would be a massive rate of infection, it would be more urinary complications, so we stage everything. We do the phallus first, then we work on the urinary tract, and then we do the implants last.” (READ MORE: This Should Be Feminists’ Worst Nightmare)
In H. G. Wells’ The Island of Dr. Moreau, a group of scientists rearrange wild animals’ anatomies to eradicate their true nature and remake them into humans. This vivisection is what is going on in Canada and America. The rest of the world is saying, “No, thanks.”
