Thank you Dr. Gaty. This was a welcome listen! As a Christian mother whose own daughter (always feminine, gifted ...) got sucked down the trans rabbit hole in college, it is truly painful watching the response and debate unfold on the issue at hand yet I find your points so comforting. The salve is so close to all of us (connection, God, food, exercise...) and yet the profession wants nothing more than to turn their patients into living synthetic lives full of toxic drugs, glitter families, and false idols.

'Gender dysphoria' is a hogwash diagnosis created to put our young at the doorstep of the trans rabbit hole. It is an especially dangerous when a diagnosis breeches the line from medical guideline to adolescent and young adult fiction, Hollywood movies, college orientation (what pronoun do you use?), and on and on. Social contagions come from the top and spread through media. It is a brilliantly evil scheme.

Todays medical intake forms had not yet changed when I was raising my own but now they are often a diagnostic tool in and of themselves. Patients now often check 'male, female, transgender' as if 'transgender' is as normal as apple pie. Down the rabbit hole they go! Did not the pain scale create one of the largest drug scandals in history? I hope parents are waking up fast enough.

Such a good article. I WANT not to have spina bifida. I’d love to not have a urostomy. I’d even love not to have a neurogenic bowel AND Crohns - but all of the above is true. I cannot identify as “a person without spina bifida myelomeningocele” just because I’ve had surgery to correct it. I can’t identify as a person who “pees normally” but I pee standing up like most. So the illusion that I can change who I am with a few strokes of a scalpel and HRT drugs is ludicrous. I like who I am just fine, and that was tough to do as a kid who got bullied and made fun of. Getting through all that made me better. I’m convinced that the current trend is a mass reaction formation - that and just another thing people do to avoid reality. Oh and I’d like not to be an addict, too. 24 years sober has been a LOT of work. When it’s all said and done, I’m ok with all of it. For real. It’s made me who I am.

Such a great episode!! I am currently becoming an expert in a "normal childhood" - raising and homeschooling my four small kids!

Dr. Gaty, if you aren't already aware of it, you need to check out ICANdecide.org - the Informed Consent Action Network and Aaron Siri, Esq. Substack. It will answer the vaccine question you guys very briefly touched on during this episode. It sounds like COVID made you slightly aware of the issues, but the legal action this non-profit has done will kinda make your head spin....

That was excellent thank you. I like especially "Your doctor actually went crazy decades ago… it’s only just starting to show."

It makes me think that such doctors must have been drugged both physically and spiritually.

And as you say, we are designed by a loving Creator.

"Well, you become your own god, and if a god wants to be a girl, what’s to stop him from becoming a girl?" Wow, insightful work my brother. We thought we could do without God, but we lost the Point of Reference, and lost ourselves with Him. The abolition of man.

And so many have already come to regret being their own God in this manner…although when I listen to former members of the “self-god cult” they mainly sound like very lost souls being led by very evil guides.

Yes, you are right. It is the same lie from the Garden recycled: "You don't need to obey God... You are god!" The father of lies keeps spinning that record. But in Christ we come to the obedience of faith, and His commandments become a joy to us: https://open.substack.com/pub/codyilardo/p/his-commandments-then-become-their?r=1q8ur0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I found Dr McFillin's podcast the same way you did, through Allie Stuckey's podcast. I have been listening to his podcasts ever since. Thank you for sharing your faith on the podcast! Recently, there's been talk of "spirituality" on their podcast but not biblical faith that leads to purpose and joy. Your input was so good! Thankful for doctors like you who practice with integrity and care for their patients. I hope more will wake up and realize the damage they can do if they follow the new harmful practices.

Just requested Trueman's book from my library! Sounds interesting.

"You were made for a reason by a loving Creator. He designed you with a purpose: not to ‘be happy,’ but to glorify Him and do the good deeds He has prepared for you. And if you recognize and pursue that purpose, true joy - not fleeting happiness - will follow!"

I needed this reminder today. Thank you so much!

This link describes how elite evangelicals let themselves be played by Francis Collins — the perfect example of the medical rot you discuss here.
