SEX CHANGE - Physically Impossible, Psychosocially Unhelpful, and Philosophically Misguided

THE TRANSGENDER MOVEMENT
Transgenderism Activists detach gender from biology. Kids down to

kindergarten are being taught their body is irrelevant to their authentic self. Your
real sex is what you choose to be and not what your born with.

Sex Change: Physically Impossible, Psychosocially
Unhelpful, and Philosophically Misguided
–Long-Term Follow-up of Transsexual Persons Undergoing Sex Reassignment Surgery: Cohort
Study in Sweden , by Cecillia Dhejne, Paul Lichtenstein, Marcus Boman
REDUCED LIFE EXPECTANCY
“Sex-reassigned transsexual persons of both genders had approximately

a three times higher risk of all-cause mortality than controls…”

INCREASED IN
PSYCHIATRIC
DISORDERS
“It is generally accepted

that transsexuals have more
psychiatric ill-health than the
general population prior to
the sex reassignment...”
–Long-Term Follow-up of Transsexual Persons Undergoing Sex
Reassignment Surgery: Cohort Study in Sweden , by Cecillia
Dhejne, Paul Lichtenstein, Marcus Boman
INCREASED IN
PSYCHIATRIC
DISORDERS
“...the increased risk for
psychiatric hospitalisation
persisted even after adjusting for
psychiatric hospitalisation prior
to sex reassignment...”

INCREASED IN
PSYCHIATRIC
DISORDERS
“...Inpatient care for psychiatric
disorders was significantly more
common among sex-reassigned
persons than among matched
controls, both before and after
sex reassignment.”
“This study found substantially higher rates of overall mortality, death
from cardiovascular disease and suicide, suicide attempts, and psychiatric
hospitalisations in sex-reassigned transsexual individuals compared to a
healthy control population. This highlights that post surgical transsexuals
are a risk group that need long-term psychiatric and somatic follow-up.”
“survival of transsexual
persons started to diverge from
that of matched controls after
about 10 years of follow-up.
The cause-specific mortality
from suicide was much higher
in sex-reassigned persons,
compared to matched
controls.”
–Long-Term Follow-up of Transsexual Persons Undergoing
Sex Reassignment Surgery: Cohort Study in Sweden , by
Cecillia Dhejne, Paul Lichtenstein, Marcus Boman
“Even though surgery and hormonal therapy alleviates gender
dysphoria, it is apparently not sufficient to remedy the high rates of
morbidity and mortality found among transsexual person s . ”
“Mortality due to cardiovascular disease was moderately increased
among the sex-reassigned, whereas the numerically increased risk for
malignancies was borderline statistically significant. The malignancies
were lung cancer, tongue cancer, pharyngeal cancer, pancreas
cancer, liver cancer, and unknown origin…”
HIGHER RISK CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES
“ Transsexual individuals were at increased risk of

being convicted for any crime or violent crime after sex
reassignment...Mortality from suicide was strikingly
high among sex-reassigned persons...”
  Undergoing Sex Reassignment Surgery:
–Long-Term Follow-up of Transsexual Persons
 
HIGHER RISK CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES
“male-to-female individuals had a higher risk for criminal convictions
compared to female controls but not compared to male controls... female-
to-males were at a higher risk for criminal convictions compared to female
controls and did not differ from male controls, which suggests increased
crime proneness in female-to-males after sex reassignment…” 
 
RYAN T. ANDERSON .PHD.
POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
“Contrary to the claims of activists, sex isn’t

“assigned” at birth—and that’s why it can’t be
“reassigned.” As I explain in my book When Harry
Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender
Moment, sex is a bodily reality that can be
recognized well before birth with ultrasound
imaging. The sex of an organism is defined and
identified by the way in which it (he or she)
is organized for sexual reproduction.”
-Public Discourse: Ryan T. Anderson. “Sex Change: Physically

Impossible, Psychosocially Unhelpful, and Philosophically
Misguided” https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2018/03/21151/
The William E. Simon senior research fellow
“Modern science shows that our sexual

organization begins with our DNA and
development in the womb, and that sex
differences manifest themselves in many
bodily systems and organs, all the way down
to the molecular level. In other words, our
physical organization for one of two
functions in reproduction shapes us
organically, from the beginning of life,
at every level of our being.”
“Cosmetic surgery and cross-sex hormones

can’t change us into the opposite sex. They
can affect appearances. They can stunt or
damage some outward expressions of our
reproductive organization. But they can’t
transform it. They can’t turn us
from one sex into the other.”

Robert P. George
, Ph.D.
As Princeton philosopher
Robert P. George put it,
“Changing sexes is a
metaphysical impossibility
because it is a biological
impossibility.”
Lawrence S. Mayer,
M.B., M.S., Ph.D.
“Scientifically speaking,
transgender men are not
biological men and transgender
women are not biological women.
The claims to the contrary are
not supported by a scintilla of
scientific evidence.”
Paul McHugh , M.D
“Transgendered men do
not become women, nor do
transgendered women become
men. All (including Bruce
Jenner) become feminized
men or masculinized women,
counterfeits or impersonators
of the sex with which they
'identify.' In that lies their
problematic future.”
-Public Discourse: Ryan T. Anderson. “Sex Change: Physically Impossible, Psychosocially
Unhelpful, and Philosophically Misguided” https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2018/03/21151/
Paul McHugh , M.D
“When “the tumult and
shouting dies,” it proves not easy
nor wise to live in a counterfeit
sexual garb. The most thorough
follow-up of sex-reassigned people
—extending over thirty years and
conducted in Sweden, where the
culture is strongly supportive of the
transgendered—documents their
lifelong mental unrest. ”
Paul McHugh , M.D
“Ten to fifteen years after

surgical reassignment, the
suicide rate of those who had
undergone sex-reassignment
surgery rose to twenty times
that of comparable peers.”

“The media calls the transsexual surgical procedure ‘sex
change surgery,’ but the term is misleading because it is
impossible to change anyone’s birth gender with cosmetic
surgery and hormones. On paper, though, the change can be
made with ease and in fact, that’s the only place where sex
change occurs, on birth certificates and driver’s licenses.”
“Unfortunately, many regret the gender change years
after the surgery, but you would never learn that from the
media. For years they have bombarded us with stories,
infomercials really, that glamorize gender switching, while
neglecting to report the high suicide attempt rate, suicide
completion rates and high overall mortality that has
occurred as a direct result of gender surgery.”
“Dr. Stanley Biber, the doctor who performed my sex

reassignment surgery. And based on this first-hand,
empirical observation, I can assuredly tell you that it was
all for naught. There is an old saying: When a person
takes the time to tell you the truth… Listen!”
• My Sex Change Surgery did nothing to alleviate my pain

• It accomplished nothing
• It changed nothing
• It was a waste of time and money
• My life got worse, not better
• The surgery didn’t solve anything.
“Sex Reassignment Surgery is not what its name

implies. It is sexual mutilation, plain and simple. It serves
no purpose other than to complete the story arc that has
been dreamed up by four doctors. These four doctors
studied the condition, but did not research it.”
“They responded to their patient’s emotional conflicts

by offering surgery and hormones, but not by getting
down to the core of what caused the condition.
Collectively they were happy to treat the symptoms of
this disorder, but not the cause of the disease. ”
“Yet, sex reassignment surgery is nothing less than

sexual mutilation butchery perpetuated on the
unsuspecting and innocent. It is performed by doctors
and psychiatrists whose toolsets to treat gender confusion
are completely inadequate to the task.”
“By encouraging transsexual patients to have a sex
change, doctors willingly and knowingly abandoning them/
us to a permanent state of mental illness, social deviance
and despair. And if you are considering this surgery, let me
caution you further: It is completely unnecessary. It is a
road you do not have to take to find inner peace.”
DISEASE OF THE MIND
“Satan is the originator of disease, and
the physician is warring against his
work and power. Sickness of the
mind prevails everywhere. Nine
tenths of the diseases from which
men suffer have their foundation
here. Perhaps some living home
trouble is, like a canker, eating to
the very soul and weakening the
life forces.”
CH 324.2
DISEASE OF THE MIND
“Remorse for sin sometimes
undermines the constitution and
unbalances the mind. There are
erroneous doctrines also, as that
of an eternally burning hell and the
endless torment of the wicked, that,
by giving exaggerated and distorted
views of the character of God, have
produced the same result upon
sensitive minds.”
CH 324.2
DISEASE OF THE MIND
“Infidels have made the most of
these unfortunate cases, attributing
insanity to religion, but this is a
gross libel, and one which they will
not be pleased to meet by and by.
The religion of Christ, so far from
being the cause of insanity, is one of
its most effectual remedies; for it is a
potent soother of the nerves.”
CH 324.2
IMPORTANCE OF PSYCHOSOMATIC MEDICINE
“To deal with men and women whose mind as well as bodies are
diseased is a nice work. Great wisdom is needed by the physicians at
the Institute in order to cure the body through the mind. But few
realize the power that the mind has over the body. ”
POSDAI 17.5
IMPORTANCE OF PSYCHOSOMATIC MEDICINE
“A great deal of the sickness which afflicts humanity has its
origin in the mind and can only be cured by
restoring the mind to health. ”
POSDAI 17.5
DISEASE OF THE MIND
“Many of the diseases from which men suffer are the result of mental
depression. Grief, anxiety, discontent, remorse, guilt, distrust, all tend
to break down the life forces and to invite decay and death. ”
The Ministry of Healing chap 18 Mind Cure Page 242
Importance of Psychosomatic Medicine.
— “In order to reach this class of
patients, the physician must have
discernment, patience, kindness, and
love, A sore, sick heart, a discouraged
mind, needs mild treatment, and it is
through tender sympathy that this class
of minds can be healed.”—Testimonies
for the Church 3:184.
Importance of Psychosomatic Medicine.
— “ The physicians should first gain their
confidence, and then point them to the
all-healing Physician. If their minds can
be directed to the Burden Bearer, and
they can have faith that He will have an
interest in them, the cure of their
diseased bodies and minds will be
sure.”—Testimonies for the Church 3:184.
“The work of the Christian
physician does not end with
healing the maladies of the
body; his efforts should extend
to the diseases of the mind, to
the saving of the soul.”
- Counsels on Health ,page 323.3
“It may not be his duty, unless
asked, to present any theoretical
points of truth; but he may
point his patients to Christ.The
lessons of the divine Teacher
are ever appropriate.”
“He should call the attention
of the repining to the ever-
fresh tokens of the love and
care of God, to His wisdom
and goodness as manifested
in His created works.”
“The mind can then be led
through nature up to nature's
God, and centered on the
heaven which He has
prepared for those
that love Him.”
PRAYER & Healing
"The physician should know how to
pray. In many cases he must increase
suffering in order to save life; and
whether the patient is a Christian or
not, he feels greater security if he
knows that his physician fears God.
Prayer will give the sick an abiding
confidence; and many times if their
cases are borne to the Great Physician
in humble trust, it will do more for them
than all the drugs that can be
administered.”
-Counsels On Health, page 324.1
DIVINE WISDOM NEEDED
"The physician needs more than
human wisdom and power that he
may know how to minister to the many
perplexing cases of disease of the
mind and heart with which he is called
to deal. If he is ignorant of the power
of divine grace, he cannot help the
afflicted one, but will aggravate the
difficulty; but if he has a firm hold
upon God, he will be able to help
the diseased, distracted mind.”
DIVINE WISDOM NEEDED
"He will be able to
point his patients to
Christ and teach them
to carry all their cares
and perplexities to the
great Burden Bearer.”

“While on earth wearing the
garb of humanity Christ often
time he too was depressed ,
but he would not allow that spirit
of depression to linger know that
if did it would eventually cause
him to give up his faith in
God…” MH 51.1
“So he decided to spend time

in communion with his father
in prayer, in Meditation of the
scriptures or he would sing
and when that happen his
depression would leave
him.” MH 51.1
“The Saviour's life on earth
was a life of communion
with nature and with God.
In this communion He
revealed for us the secret
of a life of power.”
{MH 51.1
“..His depression and
discouragement left Him.
…A heavenly peace rested
upon His bloodstained face._
He had borne that which no
human being could ever bear;
for He had tasted the sufferings
of death for every man.”
DA 694.1
GOD WANT’S TO GIVE US PERFECT

PEACE FROM ALL OUR STORMS
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose
mind is stayed on thee: because he
trusteth in thee.” -Isaiah 26:3
GOD WANT’S TO GIVE US PERFECT
PEACE FROM ALL OUR STORMS
“The Saviour took upon Himself the infirmities of humanity and lived a
sinless life, that men might have NO FEAR that because of the WEAKNESS
OF HUMAN NATURE they could NOT OVERCOME. Christ came to make
US "PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE," and His life declares that
HUMANITY, COMBINED WITH DIVINITY, DOES NOT COMMIT SIN.”
{The Ministry of Healing , page 180.5)
"His humanity was just as our
humanity and temptation. And
yet He never failed on a single
point, neither need we if we
will lay hold of His divine
power.”
~ Manuscript 188, 1907
TEMPTED AS WE ARE!
The Saviour came to our world to bring to every tried, tempted soul strength to
overcome even as He overcame. I know the power of temptation; I know the
dangers that are in the way; but I know, too, that strength sufficient for every
time of need is provided for those who are struggling against temptation.
{Messages to Young People 81.1}
“Jesus was sinless and
had no dread of the
consequences of sin. 
With this exception His
condition was as yours.
You have not a difficulty that
did not press with equal
weight upon Him, not a
sorrow that His heart has
not experienced.”
{20MR 72.2}
“Jesus once stood in age
just where you now stand.
Your circumstances, your
cogitations at this period of
your life, Jesus has had. He
cannot overlook you at this
critical period. He sees your
dangers. He is acquainted
with your temptations.He
invites you to follow His
example.” 20MR 72.3
“His feelings could be
hurt with neglect, with

indifference of professed
friends, as easily as yours. Is
your path thorny? Christ's
was so in a tenfold sense.
Are you distressed? So
was He. How well fitted
was Christ to be an
example!” {20MR 72.2}
“If you have hardships, so had He. If you have conflicts, so

had He. If you need encouragement, so did He. Satan
could tempt Him. His enemies could annoy Him. The ruling
powers could torture His body; the soldiers could crucify
Him; and they can do no more to us.” {20MR 72.2}
“In all pointed He was tempted as we are; and because He
successfully resisted temptation under every form, He gave man
a perfect example, and through the ample provisions Christ has
made, we may become partakers of the Divine Nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
-Signs of the Times, October 10, 1892 par. 4
