In 1969 thousands of homosexuals were handed over to the care of Dr. Aubrey Levin (South African army psychiatrist).
At the Voortrekkerhoogte military hospital near Pretoria, Levin used electroconvulsive experimentation on thousands of white homosexual men and a small subset of women. Dubbed (The Aversion Project )
Electrodes were strapped to a patient’s arms and then they were subject to severe electrical shocks while being forced to watch pictures of naked men. They were then forced to look at Playboy magazine centerfolds without any shocks to train them to be straight.
Other common types of treatment involved experiments on subjects with narcoanalysis drugs while others were chemically castrated with massive doses of hormones. These experiments all failed.
Levin was warned that he would be named an abuser of human rights so he emigrated to Canada to work at a teaching hospital.
Here is the tip of the iceberg of what we now know about human sexuality:
In 5-alpha reductase deficiency (5-ARD), androgen levels are normal but an enzyme necessary for male genital development is missing; these individuals may appear to be female and may be raised as girls, but at puberty, they develop masculine secondary sex characteristics.
In congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a female fetus (XX) is exposed to high levels of adrenal hormone and is born looking like a boy. They have atypical or ambiguous genitalia (external sex organs that resemble male genitals). However, they still have normal internal female organs (ovaries and uterus).
In androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS), a male fetus is unresponsive to androgens and is born looking like a girl. A person who is genetically male (one X and one Y chromosome) but has some or all of the physical traits of a woman.
Babies that are born with both male and female sexual organs, or characteristics of both organs, are called hermaphrodites or intersex. A child who is in an intersexual state is classified in one of three categories:
- True hermaphrodite – an infant born with both ovaries and testicles and has both male and female sex organs.
- Female pseudohermaphrodite – a genetic female with male external sex organs.
- Male pseudohermaphrodite – a genetic male with external sex organs that fail to develop properly, resulting in female or male/female physical characteristics.
Some human beings are born into bodies different than that of the majority. My question is this; “Why are they feared and hated so much?”
We fear what we don’t know. Ignorance fuels fear.

They are feared because people see them as different. Any difference is to be feared because it might be contagious and affect the person who notices the difference. Not that anyone can see the cifference in most situations, but that has no bearing on fear. Along with difference is fear of the unknown. What if you fall in love with a beautiful femsle, only to find out she has no vagina. HELP!
Fear is in the mind. There is no real use for fear, unless one is truly in danger. Sexual organs are not dangerous, in or of themselves. Minds, on the other hand, are very dangerous things, especially when they fear that which is not fearsome.

That was a “poetic” way of saying she is not a woman in body. She is a man in woman’s clothing, and how many men are going to be okay with that? Not many, or I don’t know the human race. I guess I should have added “fear of the unexpected” to the fears I listed. Men lash out when they find out they have been duped. It is a sad tale but true for many women trapped in male bodies.

In the beginning (whatever that means) such people would have been considered mutants. In some societies, they were practically venerated. In others, particularly those that developed the worship of the One Male God, they were considered abominations and were killed off or exiled to die off in some wilderness. The tradition continues and grows as the One Male God concept continues to expand and dominate organized religion. There is no rhyme or reason for it, it’s like other Earthian sicknesses: misogyny, racial hatred, exceptionalism based on some belief system. Although I was sure I hid my own “condition” very well, I was still fingered out – it’s like “they” knew I was different and I’ve paid the social price for something there is nothing I can do about. Yes, I’m transgendered… You can’t fight the combination of bigotry, stupidity and ignorance and that is the #1 condition of mankind. No wonder democracies fail!

The first would be logic, religion is not an absolute so it’s not the motivating factor for all things on earth. For instance Money is one of the more saturated motivators found within all cultures and tends to cause the most abuse of power and freedom. Politics, religion and culture would be the next biggest block using fear to abuse power and freedom.
Under those I also suspect we would find a large number of narcissistic people who only engage with others to cause arguments and chaos to satisfy a deep need for pleasure through abuse.
The second would be proof of such abuses:

There are definitive answers to your “why?” question but to find them means having to sail uncharted waters and not many are willing or even able, to do so. Earthians exist in a permanent state of hypnosis in which the evil they would never do, they do and they justify. In order to answer you question, you need to discover, then confront, the actual wizard behind the curtain. Even without esoteric methods of “spirit guides” or “Teachers” or input from “angelic” or alien sources, there is enough evidence all around us to discover why we do what we do, but that evidence is hidden by a programming of denial and that has to go first. No one can set us free from our mind prison, we have to do this ourselves, one-on-one, and it becomes a life-long struggle to remain free and secure that freedom.

You Stated — “No one can set us free from our mind prison, we have to do this ourselves, one-on-one, and it becomes a life-long struggle to remain free and secure that freedom.”
My Response — The complexity and strange nature of the prison is what I find the most interesting. As you walk around the prison you notice that the guards are you. The person waiting outside the gate for your escape is you. The person behind the bars is you. In fact the person who built the prison is you.
We seem to be in a struggle of ideas. The human race spends most of it’s time fighting for or against an idea. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong.
But now it’s my turn… and I find the rules of engagement to be lacking. I don’t see a need to be right or escape. I am becoming more and more curious of a strange glitch in this never ending process.
There is something in the struggle to know that exceeds the knowledge gained. Trying to understand may be more important than actually understanding.
This is to say that those who have gained understanding may be handicapped compared to those who seek it.
The prison is no more real than the freedom waiting outside, but the way that people try to escape and the way people try to keep you in, somehow, reveal hidden truths about reality.
The more opposing the perspective to mine the better. It allows me to see the millions of prisons that everyone is in and all the possible escape routes.
Imagine what we can become with that much information.

As for abuse, the only thing that will ever stop abuse is when each and every individual chooses to become a compassionate being. Less than that and abuse will continue to spread exponentially as the population expands. Abuse begins at the crib and reaches its greatest horrible effects in the halls of power. Every aggression, every war, every oppressive act, every form of enslavement including prostitution; every underpaid labour or unpaid service, every misuse of trust, every lie is abuse. When we buy goods produced with “cheap labour” or with resources extracted without due compensation from helpless nations we participate in abuse. When we shop Amazon, that is blatant abuse. When we vote for crooked, criminal, abusive political figures such as the current president of the USA, that is deliberate abuse. We cannot just “reject” abuse, we must change our very lifestyle that currently accepts and approves abusive behaviour. This isn’t just about political correctness, it’s about the very nature of man. Your comments reminded me to watch the movie, “The Help” again, as a reminder of how hate justifies abuse and how that infects an entire society.

The prostitutes’ expressed concerns may be real, or not, but as they say, “everybody’s got a mortgage to pay” and these women need to pay the rent, eat, dress… basically survive in a predatory capitalistic society. The sex-bots are serious and threatening competition. If their trade, however questionable some may find it, dies, what are they supposed to do to stay alive? Again, this points to an end of this civilization and the urgent need to usher a new way, one that does not require use, abuse, exploitation, oppression and enslavement, particularly of women and children. Also obviously a world that does not need the services of prostitutes, male, female or child.
