Gender is binary to those who understand it shut-eyed to mean male or female. It is non-binary to the queer and perverse. Gender is innate to those who want legal recognition of deviance, and it is fluid when one seeks to change it – and then change back, or change to another As if an innate orientation to stealing would be justification for sanctioning theft. As if psychiatrists can determine unnatural carnal inclinations in a neonate.
More on the story of gender here
Gender is identity when one feels like a car or a star and it is a role when you perform sin. It is imposed when alleged that society makes you conform to its stereotypes. But it is a cognitive construct, and therefore visual and behavioural stereotypes do not matter - but one needs to affirm transgender identifiers by drugging and mutilating them to look like what they feel like. And thereby clinks the coins. Read about this cash cow, and the medical, pharmaceutical and other professionals drenched in its black milk.
“In July 2024, the American Principles Project published an eye-opening study of the facts and figures for trans medicine, “The Gender Industrial Complex”. It had commissioned a market research company, Grand View Research, to estimate the cost of the drugs and surgical procedures involved in transitioning, the estimated current and future revenue growth of the market, and the most significant players.
After reading the report, it's hard not to conclude that “the gender industrial complex” is a factory of cruelty and misanthropy. “The prevention, delay, or whatever pharmacological and especially surgical disruption of the process we call puberty is a crime against humanity. It’s horrible what we do to kids,” one surgeon who used to work in trans medicine told the authors of the report. “The surgeries, the revisions, and all that stuff—it’s big business.”
Some of the findings of “The Gender Industrial Complex” include:
While the total cost of transitioning varies widely by individual, lifelong use of cross-sex hormones could cost up to $300,000 or more per person, while a full surgical transition could cost more than $150,000.
The potential health effects of undergoing transition are numerous, including increased risk of cancer, nerve damage, chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, mental health issues, and the need for additional surgeries.
A number of transgender surgery providers, including Cedars Sinai, the Regents of the University of Michigan, the Mount Sinai Health System, and several others, were each estimated to bring in over $100 million in revenue in 2022 from these practices.
Pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and AbbVie lead the way in hormone production, with 2022 revenues of $74 million and $51 million, respectively, from those products.
Total revenues for transgender drugs and surgeries in 2023 were estimated to surpass $4.4 billion. And by 2030, the market is expected to grow beyond $7.8 billion.
The APP points out that these projections could be very conservative. In 2020 an LGBT think tank, the Williams Institute, estimated that there were about 300,000 minors who identified as transgender. If that is correct, the market for paediatric transitions alone could be as high as $37 billion.
Transgender transitioning is not just a matter of a few visits to a doctor and a few injections. It’s a lifelong commitment to regular medication and a long series of surgical procedures.
The report estimates that a male transitioning to a female will have to spend between $87,300 and $410,600 over a lifetime, assuming that he is on puberty blockers for five years and on feminising hormones for 60 years. The surgical component includes:
$20,000 to 50,000 for facial feminisation surgery
$6,000 to $12,000 for breast implants
$10,000 to $40,000 to create an artificial vagina
$5,000 to $8,000 to remove testicles
$5,000 to $9,000 for voice feminisation surgery
$3,500 to $7,000 for shaving the Adam’s apple
For a female transitioning to a male, the lifetime cost ranges from $66,500 to $605,500. The surgical component includes:
$15,000 to $50,000 for a double mastectomy
$9,500 to $22,500 for a hysterectomy
$20,000 to $150,000 to create an artificial penis
$6,000 to $10,000 for chest masculinisation surgery
$4,000 to $6,000 to create an artificial scrotum”

The WPATH Files and “gender-affirming healthcare”
The “WPATH files” are documents leaked from the internal chatboard of an organisation called the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). They shine a light on how so-called “gender-affirming care” or “transgender medicine” is leading to widespread medical malpractice on children and vulnerable adults.
What is WPATH?
Established in 1979, WPATH is an international organisation with almost 2,000 members. It includes some well-known doctors, surgeons and psychologists practising, and promoting, “gender medicine”. Three-quarters of members are based in the USA, with the rest scattered around the world. A significant number are in the UK. WPATH advocates for trans-identifying people to have on-demand access to “gender-affirming care,” a treatment protocol involving hormones, surgeries and, in the case of adolescents, puberty suppression.
WPATH also provides materials aimed at shaping the treatment provided by healthcare professionals working with trans-identifying individuals. The most influential of these are Standards of care – guidelines for the provision of healthcare for gender-distressed and trans-identifying individuals, which it claims are scientific and evidence-based. These cover various aspects of transgender health, including mental health, hormonal therapy, and surgical interventions.
What do the files reveal?
WPATH describes its Standards of care as evidence-based and best practice, but these leaked files cast serious doubt on that claim. They show clinicians discussing patients receiving irreversible treatments who seem very unlikely to be able to receive informed consent, including some who are very young, and others who have serious mental-health disorders. Some of the conversations suggest that the clinicians themselves don’t know the long-term effects of treatments. In other conversations, it seems that they do know that cross-sex hormones or surgeries are likely to cause serious harm, but advocate for those treatments nonetheless.
These documents suggest that some WPATH members brush off concerns about long-term patient outcomes, despite being aware of potentially debilitating and even fatal side effects of cross-sex hormones and other treatments.
