Sex selection and the rise of Generation XY (and the Generation of XX's who want to be XY)
From the article:
In 1979 China signed a $50m four-year deal with a UN body designed to help it control its spiralling population through family planning. It was the largest foreign aid package Beijing had accepted in almost 20 years.
But the funds became entwined in China's one-child policy that was just taking hold, and instead of sponsoring an education drive for small families, the money was used to pay for posters in Chinese villages proclaiming "You can abort it! But you cannot give birth to it." (it being a female child)
Unnatural Selection by Mara Hvistendahl charts how the trend towards choosing boys over girls, largely through sex-selective abortions, is rapidly spreading across the developing world.
While the natural sex ratio at birth is 105 boys born for every 100 girls, in India the figure has risen to 112 boys and in China 121. The Chinese city of Lianyungang recorded an astonishing 163 boys per 100 girls in 2007.
The bias towards boys has been estimated to have caused the "disappearance" of 160 million women and girls in Asia alone over the past few decades. The pattern has now spilled over to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia, the Balkans and Albania, where the sex ratio is 115/100.
The unnatural skewing towards male populations has become so pronounced in recent decades that Hvistendahl, a writer for Science magazine, says it has given rise to a new "Generation XY". She raises the possibility that with so many surplus men – up to a fifth of men will be single in northwestern India by 2020 – large parts of the world could become like America's wild west, with excess testosterone leading to raised levels of crime and violence. (some of that violence being raised rape rates)
"Historically, societies in which men substantially out number women are not nice places to live," Hvistendahl writes.
Hvistendahl claims western governments actively promoted abortion and sex selection in the developing world, encouraging the liberalisation of abortion laws and subsidising sales of ultrasounds as a form of population control.
"It took millions of dollars in funding from US organisations for sex determination and abortion to catch on in the developing world," she writes.
Even now, when the pattern of sex selection has been well documented and the prospect exists of the developing world accommodating tens of millions more men than women, the UNFPA is refusing to face up to its mistakes and confront the problem, she says.
Enter...Trans Trending in the good old US of A. The male medical machines supports the steady growing number of females transitioning for the precise reason its helped to financially support the abortion of female fetus's in poor countries: Misogyny and the value of males over females! While the US government looks the other way for exactly the same fucking reasons!
The direct backlash against feminism began in order to knock women back into the kitchens they walked away from, marching toward the hopes and dreams of rising above being mere "women" to attaining being fully human. Once Postmodernism and Queer Theory jumped aboard the feminist backlash bandwagon and corporate America high jacked the middle and lower classes the kitchens women were being driven back into were sealed. All creating seemingly media driven polar opposite options for females; one being hyper-femininity and the other being "male" through transition.
The more hyper-femininity and the media that drives it home take hold of first world countries, the more we are seeing trans trending rise among younger and younger girls/women. Without feminist inspirations to help young women fight against the overwhelming presence of hyper-femininity, more females are fearfully turning towards transition. Both options for females leading us further away from the full human beings feminism set out to show women we could all be.

Transgenderism vs Homosexuality
Since it seems yesterday's post turned into a Trans vs Homo debate, I'm creating this space for that discussion. Not that one has anything to do with the other, but the trans mind, when desperate, will grasp at anything so they do not to have to face the reality of their disorder.
While once upon a time Homosexuality was deemed a mental disorder and listed in the DSM as such, it clearly was only deemed "sick" and considered "abnormal" because it deviated from compulsory heterosexuality. Other than falling in love with and desiring the same sex, there is little difference between homo's and hets, which was why Homosexuality was removed from the DSM.
Transgenderism on the other hand deals with a pathological self hatred of the body and life that that body is slated by society to represent. It requires being on drugs for the rest of ones life, usually accompanied by some sort of surgery, sometimes many surgeries. In most trans females, sexual problems are also present, often times even after the never ending process of transition begins.
Homosexuals came together and worked hard to have Homosexuality removed from the DSM. There has been no cohesive focused movement by trans people to have the trans disorder removed from the DSM. In fact many transgendered prefer to keep their condition on the DSM so they can use tax payer dollars in countries with national health care to pay for their life long gender maintenance or in places where private health insurance covers GID.
So other than Homosexuality once being on the DSM which also houses GID (the criteria needed to become trans), there are no similarities between Homosexuality and Transgenderism.

Transmen Who Stop Taking T
I received a link to video in a recent email. After being on T for a year, the young woman in the video says she is going to stop T and try and reclaim her lesbianism. While time will tell if she actually does (good luck to her), it is important for those on T who are still not happy to know that there are females who do stop taking T.
The biggest obstacles it would seem, to stopping T, is the pressure from other trans females to continue it and the shame the female who wants to stop feels for considering it. There is literally a deep shame in stopping T, a shame based in betraying the trans community. A shame made worse because far too often that community turns on those who do not conform to its trans mold and leaves its flock. The real shame should be a community who doesnt support whats best for its members, even if that means losing members.
If you are struggling and desire to stop chemical transition, your decision should be based on what is best for you, NOT pleasing a community who will never have your best interest at heart.

Edit to add
Apparently the trans trenders have nothing better to do than waste my time and play a hoax on you dear readers. The woman in the video I mentioned "knew" her video would be posted on my blog, I wonder how she knew? Here is a screencap I received regarding the video in question:
Whether the woman from the video crafted this little hoax (her next video indicates she did) or some trans trender friend, it illustrates the lengths the trans mind will go to discredit any truths about their disorder.
If there are women reading this who have happily and successfully stopped taking T, please share with us your story.

The Murder of a Mother by the US Government-Remembering Ethel Rosenberg
I never fail to remember Ethel on this day. There is a candle burning for her spirit as I write this. If anyone is interested in learning more about Ethel's murder I suggest the documentary by her granddaughter entitled Heir to an Execution.
And in keeping with the spirit of this blog, which is to dismantle the social, medical and political reasons behind the development of the trans disorder and other issues created by the gender straight jacket, I say, think of Ethel as a warning. There have literally been hundreds of comments here by those in transition regarding having been "diagnosed" by a "medical professional" or siting pseudo studies by the same "medical professionals" as proof of their really having been born in "wrong" bodies, proof because authority figures said so.
We're conditioned to believe authority figures have our best interests in mind, but historically and currently we have half the population being hurt by those 'best interests'. The US government unjustly murdered Ethel Rosenberg, and the male medical machine declared her alive after her first electrocution so that she could be electrocuted again, whereby the male medical machine once again declared her still alive. So yet again, another round of electricity could be circulated throughout her entire body until fire and smoke poured from her head finally ending her torture.
Authority must be questioned as much as it is followed, or as women, we fiery spirits, churning and burning within the confines of a body that drastically limits our choices, we all end up an Ethel Rosenberg.
