In the wild world of gender studies, when an individual is described as being a \u2018transitioning male,\u2019 this is a person who was born a biological female, yet is now in the process of \u2018transitioning\u2019 to become a male. Conversely, a \u2018transitioning female\u2019 is a biological male transitioning to become female. For those who believe that \u2018transitioning\u2019 is feasible proposition, they argue a difference between the term \u2018sex,\u2019 which is what a boy or a girl is assigned at birth based upon genitalia, and \u2018gender\u2019 which is a more culturally determined status determined by what an individual believes himself or herself to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In other words, from the holy gospel according to Liberals, a person may essentially act as God by playing Creator with their own bodies, and heaven help the heathen who believes otherwise. Thus we hear \u2018Samson\u2019 in the Gillette commercial saying that she is \u201ctrying to figure out what kind of man I want to become\u201d as if this were even a legitimate choice. Society is going to great pains to convince us that it is. Meanwhile, as far as shaving goes, which I suppose could be called a rite of passage to manhood for young males, this comes about as the result of a natural process known as puberty, which affects boys and girls in entirely different ways, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Apologies for the Biology 101 briefer, but it seems necessary. In males, the changes associated with the onset of puberty involve the lowering of the voice, hormonal signals sent from the brain to the testes and the growth of facial hair, a natural phenomenon from which Gillette has profited handsomely over the years. In females, you have the onset of menstruation, the development of breasts, and so on. One need not be an investigative journalist to know that the growth of facial hair does not normally figure into the female puberty cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">This leads us to a question that Gillette fails to consider in its latest controversial advert: How exactly did it come to be that a young biological female found the need to shave her face in the first place? After all, in the past such spectacles were more commonplace to traveling circuses, where village folk paid a few cents to peek behind a curtain to view some \u2018bearded lady.\u2019 Now the rare phenomenon is being flaunted on television screens, in full view of impressionable children, as some sort of a natural occurrence. And that is exactly the point \u2013 it is not a natural occurrence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The reason \u2018Samson\u2019 must have that first shave in the first place is due to the hormonal treatment \u2013 heavy doses of male testosterone for life \u2013 she is being administered on behalf of a medical community that is condoning such outrageous methods. That\u2019s right. Adolescents who are just entering puberty \u2013 an extremely sensitive and emotional time of life that is filled with its own sort of physical and psychological discomforts \u2013 are no longer being offered psychotherapy if they admit to confusion about their sexuality. Instead, medical practitioners are now required to abide by the rules of so-called \u2018affirmative care\u2019 community, which demands that doctors essentially place children on the rough road to sexual transition. In other words, the doctor must accept the child\u2019s \u2018gender identity\u2019 without suggesting psychotherapy as an alternative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">At this point, perhaps there are readers who feel that a middle-aged journalist is unqualified to discuss a subject that involves so much intense personal involvement on the part of the subjects. That is why I would encourage the reader to <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qlRkLtKqSrY\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>view<\/strong><\/span><\/a> the video below in its entirety.
