The origin of the "transgender" movement goes back several decades before Judith Butler's book "Gender Trouble," published in 1990.

The "trans" movement originated with sexologists and their partnerships with fetishists.

Virginia Prince, born Arnold Lowman, who popularized the term "transgender," said he got erections while imagining himself as a "girl".

He worked with the American Psychiatric Association to destigmatize transvestic fetishism by reframing sexual pathology as "identity."

It is the APA that is largely to blame for the "transgender" social contagion. Unlike the esoteric ramblings of academic queer theorists, the APA actively influences medical protocols, and by extension the WHO and the UN.

The idea that sex is a social construct dates back to the 1960s, and was pioneered by sexologist John Money.

Dr. Money forced children to act out "copulation play" while he photographed them, and advocated for sexual relationships between adult men and children.

The word "gender" rose in usage after 1980, the year that the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) was published by the American Psychiatric Association.

The word "gender" does not appear even once in the DSM-II. The DSM-III, however, included for the first time the concept of "gender identity" in the manual, which is published, for profit, by the APA.

Gender identity disorder is classified as a psychosexual disorder in the DSM-III. Several notable sexologists were on the committee overseeing the addition of "gender identity disorder" into the DSM.

Among them was pedophile apologist John Money, who devoted his life to promoting the idea that sex is socially constructed, and who attempted to convince a young boy that he was really a girl.

Money would force David Reimer - who he called "Brenda" - to engage in "copulation play" from the age of about 6 years old with his twin brother Brian. Money photographed the children in sexual positions together, and to this day is cited by NAMBLA.

In 1963 sexologist and pedophile sympathizer John Money was granted today's equivalent of $2 million, by the US government, to "research" the idea that boys could be turned into little girls.

In order to support the theory of a 'transgender child,' gender identity sexologists and psychiatrists "measured the level of physical attractiveness in children."

In order for predators to gain access to children, it is necessary to groom anyone who might stand in one's way - especially women, and especially mothers.

"The Journal of Male Feminism", originally titled "Hose and Heel", was published from 1980 with the explicit support of Paul Allen Walker, a gay man and early founder of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).

The origins of WPATH can be traced to the University of Minnesota. During the 1980's, transvestites would send their wives for re-education to sexology programs that groomed the women to accept their husbands' fetish.

The same sentiment behind "The Journal of Male Feminism" is what caused the creep into US universities' decision to promote gender identity ideology and rebrand "Women's Studies" to "Gender Studies", as the origin of so-called transgenderism came directly from sexology programs already embedded in those institutions - with universities in California and Minnesota serving as the hubs in the early days.

A founding member of The World Professional Association for Transgender Health worked with a NAMBLA leader and instructed him on how to access child pornography for "research."

WPATH sets the guidelines internationally for chemically castrating children.

The American Psychiatric Association changed the terminology in the DSM from "Gender Identity Disorder" to "Gender Dysphoria" in 2013.

The APA's decision to adopt the term "gender dysphoria" was agreed upon at a 2009 WPATH conference in Oslo organized by pro-pedophilia activist Thore Langfeldt.

In attendance were the administrators of a child castration fetish forum.

Both "gender dysphoria" in children and the term "gender incongruence" were advocated for by members of a pedophilic castration fetish forum.
They were attending WPATH conferences and collaborated for decades. They also organized online to lobby the APA.

The castration fetish forum cited by WPATH in their most recent standards of care - which scraped objective age limits for chemically castrating children via "puberty blockers" - was founded by a convicted pedophile

German sexologist Volkmar Sigusch influenced a policy that saw children rehomed with admitted pedophiles.

His career spanned over five decades and he was a charter member of the US-based Harry Benjamin Gender Dysphoria Association, now known as WPATH.
