Abolish Pedophile-Enabling WPATH
Why Is This Organization Allowed to Set Medical Standards?
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health, or WPATH, is considered the world’s foremost organization in recommending treatment for “gender dysphoria,” which activists are trying to reconfigure into “gender incongruence,” though it doesn’t matter because neither exists.
Headquartered in Illinois, WPATH sets professional standards for physicians’ intervention and how their conduct might be judged in lawsuits, as in cases involving medical abuse survivors like Layla Jane, who had her breasts removed one month after her thirteenth birthday.
In 2022, after pressure from Assistant Secretary for Health Richard “Rachel” Levine at the Department of Health and Human Services in the Biden administration, WPATH removed all age limits for all procedures in the Standards of Care 8. Before 2022, it recommended age minimums of 14 for hormone treatment, 15 for mastectomies, 16 for breast augmentation, and 17 for genital surgeries.
That means doctors cannot be accused of breaching professional standards for mutilating children because children of any age can consent to medical procedures in pursuit of an unobtainable goal, that is, to become the opposite sex. If children can consent to this, what else can they consent to? This is very complicated and needs extensive nuance and evidence-based research because it’s nearly impossible to ascertain what’s going on here.
For example, when men dressed as women have a drag show for kids in a club with a sign that reads It’s Not Gonna Lick Itself!, we have no clue what any of this means.
How did we get to this point? Who decided that WPATH gets to determine the standards by which doctors can mutilate and sterilize children, or adults for that matter? Why is this organization given any authority?
It should have no authority. In fact, it should be obliterated because it is a significant source of the wholly false discipline referred to as “transgender medicine.” Pretending as though that is real is precisely what causes harm, and demolishing this association is an important step in solving the problem.
A recent investigative demand filed by the Federal Trade Commission against WPATH is an acceptable start, but it does not go far enough because it is primarily focused on the organization’s approach to children. The entire agenda, including for adults, must be eviscerated.
There are two main reasons WPATH must be destroyed:
Its most significant influence, Harry Benjamin, was a con man who could not coherently explain even the most basic premises of the “trans” scam, and that is because nobody can since it is a lie.
It does not have legitimate authority as a serious medical organization due to its ultimate goal of normalization of pedophilia and child abuse.
Please read on to fully understand why.
A Brief History of WPATH
The Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association was established during the fifth International Gender Dysphoria Symposium in 1977.
In 1979, the organization published the first edition of the Standards of Care entitled The Hormonal and Surgical Sex Reassignment of Gender Dysphoric Persons, and it played an important role in adding “gender identity disorder” to the DSM-III in 1980.
It was the first and most significant attempt to provide a unified, clinical approach for “trans” healthcare since myriad doctors had provided various treatment approaches, especially since the highly publicized case of George “Christine” Jorgensen in 1952.
The Standards of Care were updated in 1980, 1981, 1990, 1998, 2001, and 2012, with the current eighth version released in 2022.
The name was changed from Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association to WPATH in 2007, and it is affiliated with regional organizations all around the world in the following areas: Asia (AsiaPATH), Australia (AusPATH), Europe (EPATH), United States (USPATH), New Zealand/Aotearoa (PATHA), Canada (CPATH), South Africa (PATHSA), India (IPATH), and the overall global TPATH.
The Namesake
Harry Benjamin (1885 - 1986), WPATH’s original namesake, was an extremely significant factor in its founding due to his influence on the inception of what activists call “transgender medicine.”
He was born in Germany and worked with Magnus Hirschfeld at his infamous Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Science). Hirschfeld died in France in 1935, while Benjamin moved to the United States in 1913 after receiving his doctorate in medicine in 1912, and though he became a highly influential “sexologist,” sexology was not on the curriculum of any medical school.
The subject of his doctorate was tuberculosis, which caused many deaths in the 1800s and continued to be a major problem in the 1900s, particularly in slums and lower class neighborhoods. His move to the United States was precipitated by his decision to work with Dr. Friedrich Franz Friedmann, who supposedly discovered a vaccine for tuberculosis in the form of a serum passed through turtles.
Yes, that’s right. Turtles:
According to Friedmann, a serum had been created taking a sample of tubercule bacilli and “passing it through a turtle” in a laboratory, creating a non-virulent strain that could function as a vaccine. Dr. Friedmann had come upon this discovery in 1902 while experimenting with turtles at the Berlin Zoo.
New Yorkers affected by the disease were anxious to see Dr. Friedmann’s miracle serum. Wealthy banker Charles Finlay, president of Aetna National Bank, immediately sent for the doctor and conspicuously put him up at the Waldorf-Astoria at 34th Street and Fifth Avenue, the finest hotel in New York.
Friedmann was dishonest charlatan, but he still managed to make a profit:
Hysteria over all these turtle cures died down when it was quickly revealed that they didn’t actually work. “POOR RESULTS FROM THE TURTLE GERM” declared the New York Tribune in late May.
Even still, Friedmann eventually cashed in, selling the American rights to the turtle vaccine for $125,000 and almost $1.8 million in stocks for a planned series of dispensaries in his name (which never materialized).
Take a guess as to how Benjamin reacted when he saw it was a fraud.
He…didn’t do much:
Benjamin encountered the first of several ethical dilemmas in his career as Friedmann encouraged him to manipulate the results of trials for his turtle serum to treat tuberculosis and lie to the press about the serum’s effectiveness…
Benjamin joined Friedmann in America to promote the use of his turtle serum to treat tuberculosis, but Benjamin’s trial data proved its ineffectiveness. He believed in the potential of the treatment but found Friedmann’s method problematic. Benjamin chose to give a lukewarm statement to the press, saying that he didn’t believe that his opinion would offer anything of medical value at that time.
That was a lie. Benjamin’s knowledge had value. He knew it was a fraud, and he could have warned vulnerable people who were desperate for a cure by telling the truth about Dr. Friedmann’s scam to the press.
He didn’t. He chose not to tell the truth, which is a lie by omission. That means he was a participant in the subterfuge, which made him a con man just like Dr. Friedmann.
No matter. Onto the next deception!
Benjamin also studied hormones in Vienna with Dr. Eugen Steinach, whose work with rats and guinea pigs inspired Magnus Hirschfeld to experiment with switching testicles from heterosexual men into homosexual men to convert to them to heterosexuality. That resulted in complete castration of the homosexual men after their bodies rejected the implanted testicles.
Benjamin became engrossed in Steinach’s work on testicles and aging:
Benjamin’s fascination with hormones would become the leitmotif of his career. In the 1920s, he championed the Steinach operation, a procedure intended to slow the aging process. This treatment was devised by the respected Viennese physiologist Eugen Steinach, who postulated that a unilateral vasoligation would create a back pressure on the testes, causing the sperm-producing cells to atrophy while stimulating the interstitial cells to multiply and produce greater amounts of hormone.
This procedure was viewed with suspicion by the medical establishment and later disproved.
Well, that was the end of the second fraud. Next!
By the 1940s, Benjamin had churned through a few failed practices in the United States and then established an office in New York. In 1949, his colleague and famous fellow sexologist Alfred Kinsey referred to him a patient with the pseudonym “Val Barry,” who was in his early 20s at that point but apparently had been receiving treatment from Kinsey since he was a child.
It is important to address the significance of Kinsey (1894 - 1956) as a man who purportedly studied the sexual habits of Americans. He is well-known for the Kinsey scale as well as Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953).
In the 1980s and 1990s, writer and researcher Dr. Judith Reisman (1935 - 2021) published criticism of Kinsey and deemed him a fraud, abuser, and pedophile-enabler:
“Dr. Kinsey’s most egregious fraud is that he wasn’t a scientist,” Reisman said the other day. “He was an ideologue who was most importantly a sex offender at best, and, beyond being a sex offender, he was certainly a child sexual abuser and/or solicitor and guide in the perpetration of that abuse.”
Kinsey was venerated as a pioneer in sexology, as portrayed by Liam Neeson in the 2004 film Kinsey, so she was essentially shunned by mainstream academia for her work.
In 1990, Reisman appeared on the The Phil Donahue Show to discuss the child abuse utilized by Kinsey in his “research,” specifically in a graph entitled Table 34 in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.
An image of Table 34 is below.
Kinsey’s defenders, both in general and in that Donahue clip with the stupid, grinning old man, do not claim Table 34 is fabricated by his critics or abuse didn’t occur. They just claim there is no proof Kinsey abused a 5-month-old infant himself.
Later, the Kinsey Institute claimed that Table 34 apparently came from one pedophile’s journal, who Kinsey knew kept abusing children but was never reported to police since he wanted to keep his name confidential for “participant anonymity.” Well, then there’s nothing to see here!
This is what they call evidence-based treatment, but we’re meant to believe that it’s acceptable to use evidence of infant and child abuse? We’re meant to believe doctors can legitimately cite evidence from a pedophile that a 4-year-old child had 26 orgasms over 24 hours? This is vile and criminal.
And that’s who treated “Val Barry” before he was sent to Benjamin. It is not clear exactly what Kinsey did to Val or how he featured in his pedophile-enabling work, but Val was a male who wanted to be female. Other doctors refused to affirm this delusion by physically altering his body, but Benjamin was game. He felt his experience with hormones, along with his previous treatment of a cross-dresser named Otto Spengler, meant he could successfully address what was then called “transsexualism.”
Benjamin had found his third fraud, and unlike the first two, this one stuck.
Now, how would that shape the “trans” fraud and WPATH in the future?
