Rita Erickson was\u2062 born in Texas in 1917\u200b to successful\u2064 business owners Robert and Ruth Erickson. With immense\u2062 privilege and educational opportunities, ironically at\u2063 an all-girls high \u2063school, Rita grew up to \u200cbecome an engineer and contributed\u2062 to the continued success of her family\u2019s lead smelting business, ultimately inheriting and \u200bselling it for millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200d 1963, after her father had passed away, Rita sought\u200d to \u2064transition into a \u2018he\u2019 under the \u2018care\u2019\u200b of a quack doctor named Harry Benjamin. Rita changed her name\u2064 to Reed \u2063Erickson, \u2062and became the\u200d ultimate financial force in the push for mainstream acceptance of transgenderism.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_706691\" style=\"width: 772px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-706691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">University \u200cof Victoria, Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then, in \u200b1964, \u2062Erickson launched the EEF to:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>\u2026provide assistance and\u200c support\u200b in areas where human potential was limited \u2062by\u2064 adverse physical, \u2064mental or social conditions, or\u2063 where the scope of research was too new, controversial or imaginative to receive traditionally oriented support.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But despite Rita\u2019s plans to advance \u200d\u201chuman potential,\u201d\u200c her own \u2063life was falling \u2064apart. Following \u2063the mutilation Erickson received \u200cunder the care of\u200d Dr. Benjamin,\u200d she had\u2063 four failed marriages, developed\u2064 a drug addiction, \u200band ultimately \u2063fled from California to Mexico to \u200davoid drug charges. \u2062Her daughter \u2064had to take on a conservatorship of her estate due to \u2064her \u200dmental and physical decline. Still, beginning around\u200c the time of Erickson\u2019s \u2018transition\u2019 \u2064and all through her decline, the EEF pushed transgenderism \u2063and mutilation-based \u2018care\u2019 \u200bof gender-confused people under\u2062 the leadership of its Director, Zelda R.

She owned multiple nudist camps, and became the \u2062first woman to pose\u200b fully nude\u200d on the cover of \u2062Playboy.

But what was it about Benjamin that made him \u200cso beloved?<\/p>\n<p>In\u2064 1966, Dr. Harry Benjamin authored \u201cThe Transsexual Phenomenon,\u201d which inspired this community of\u2062 fringe doctors. \u200bIn it, Benjamin acknowledges that fake vaginas are \u2018wounds,\u2019 and says these fake vaginas\u200b can\u2063 degrade to\u200c the \u2062point of being \u201cobliterated and \u2063useless for sexual relations.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_706717\" style=\"width: 845px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-706717\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Excerpt: The TRANSSEXUAL PHENOMENON, \u200cHarry Benjamin, M.D. \u200cweb.archive.org.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Benjamin also outlines\u2062 the social motivation behind some \u201ctransitions.\u201d In one \u200bcase, Benjamin writes\u2064 that a mother \u200cwas \u2062\u201cembarrassed\u201d to be seen with her son in public. But\u200c when her son began identifying as a girl, the mother suddenly became \u201cproud\u201d of \u2064him \u2013 and even found him to be \u200b\u201cattractive.\u201d In a \u2063particularly \u2062creepy\u200c passage, Benjamin\u2064 writes that he could also \u201cverify the attractiveness\u201d \u2062of the supposed \u200d\u201cyoung \u2064lady.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria\u2064 Association, led by Dr. Paul \u200bWalker, fully recognized its roots\u200c in Dr. Harry Benjamin, Reed Erickson, and Zelda Suplee, presenting them with Lifetime Achievement Awards.<\/p>\n<p>And\u200c the newly formed Harry Benjamin Association wasted no time creating\u2064 their \u2064first \u201cStandards of Care\u201d in 1979. Despite the \u2064ample history of failure and suffering they\u2019d\u200b inflicted \u2064on people \u2063who\u2062 often \u2064had\u2063 comorbid\u2063 mental illnesses, they declared themselves arbiters \u2062of authority. Their only mild \u2064redeeming quality was that\u200c they seemed to agree that this\u200c sadistic quackery shouldn\u2019t \u200bbe inflicted upon minors, who were obviously incapable of\u2062 consent.<\/p>\n<p>In 2000, one of the earliest iterations of\u200b the website for the Harry Benjamin Association linked to another website called \u201cTransexual Women\u2019s Resources,\u201d \u200brun by one of their \u2063early \u200cmembers, Dr. Anne Lawrence who\u2063 sat on the Standards of Care Committee for the Association. \u2062He was, and still is, an admitted\u200c autogynephile \u2014 which is\u2063 a paraphilia where\u200d a\u200b man is sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female. In a paper, Dr. \u200dLawrence refers to\u200c autogynephilia as an\u2063 \u201cunderappreciated\u201d paraphilia.<\/p>\n<p>Few have been as honest about this paraphilia as Dr. Anne Lawrence. In\u200c a 1999 version of \u200chis website, which\u2064 the Harry Benjamin Association\u200c linked to, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/19991021235116\/http:\/\/www.annelawrence.com\/portland2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he wrote about his personal genital mutilation<\/a>,\u2063 saying he very badly wanted to be\u2063 a \u201creceptacle.\u201d \u2063Here\u2019s a \u200dsample:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Dr. \u200bNguyen smiles reassuringly, lubes up the smallest dilator, \u2064and gently but very quickly slides\u2063 it into me, a\u200d full six \u2063inches. I let\u200d out an \u200dinvoluntary squeal of \u200csurprise, \u200cindignation and intense feeling \u2013 \u2013 it\u2019s not exactly painful, but it\u2019s surely not pleasurable, either. Next, \u2062he\u2063 inserts the 1-1\/8 inch dilator. This time \u2063I\u2019m ready, and I\u200d merely pant loudly, anticipating pain that never comes. However, \u200dwhen he lubes up the \u20641-1\/4 inch dilator, I\u2019m again incredulous: \u201cThat will never fit!\u201d But \u200csomehow it does. Grinning with insane delight, I pick \u200cup my hand mirror and take \u200ba good look. There it is, thick as a closet rod, inserted 6 inches \u200cinto me. For so many years I have \u2063longed\u200c to be penetrable, to be a\u200b vessel, a receptacle: and now I am.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In 1997, Lawrence resigned \u200dfrom a hospital after \u2063admitting to \u200da \u201cserious lapse in judgment\u201d involving a\u200d patient. According to an incident report, a hospital gynecologist repeatedly told\u2063 Lawrence the patient, an Ethiopian woman,\u200b had not experienced \u2018female\u2064 circumcision.\u2019 But when the \u2063gynecologist left the room, Lawrence performed a non-consensual genital exam \u2062on the unconscious \u200cwoman anyway.<\/p>\n<p>How many \u2063\u201ctrans \u2063women\u201d \u200bare\u200b just men with a paraphiliac \u200dsexual arousal of themselves as women? And more concerningly, how many of\u2063 them who \u200cview women as simply a genital \u201creceptacle\u201d are being\u2064 allowed \u200din the restrooms and\u200d locker rooms of actual \u2063girls &#038; women? Despite \u200chaving published this\u2064 garbage, Dr. Anne Lawrence \u2062remained\u200c involved in the \u201cStandards of Care\u201d \u200cfor the Harry Benjamin \u200cInternational Gender Dysphoria Association. He was a co-author \u2063on \u2064the 6th Version of\u200c the standards (which was published in 2001). That was \u200cthe last\u2063 version\u2063 published before the organization changed its name in 2007 to WPATH, or The World Professional Association for \u200cTransgender Health.<\/p>\n<p>Despite\u200c the new branding, WPATH continued promoting the same radical gender ideology and sexual\u200d paraphilia of its \u200bpredecessor. \u200cThe 7th Version of\u200b the \u2018Standards of\u200b Care\u2019 \u200breleased under \u200dthe new WPATH name in 2012 (and \u2063valid all the way through 2022), continued \u200cto reference the \u2064work\u200d of disgraced \u2063Dr. John Money, \u200cwhose victims killed themselves. \u2062WPATH\u2062 also \u2062cited the \u201creceptacle\u201d autogynephile, Dr. Anne Lawrence.<\/p>\n<p>As recently as last year, the WPATH website fully acknowledged, almost proudly, their origin with the\u2064 EEF,\u2064 and how its\u200c suspending\u2062 of operations in 1977 directly led this pack of fringe \u2064doctors to form\u200b the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria \u2062Association (now WPATH).<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE\u2062 TO\u2064 GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>But despite its sordid \u2062history, WPATH is somehow now taken seriously as the\u200c standard-setter in \u2062the field, by major hospitals and medical associations.<\/p>\n<p>This \u200dis maybe \u2063the single greatest scam in\u200b modern \u200dmedicine. It\u2019s \u200cdestroying the lives of children across the country. That\u200c much is clear. What\u2019s less\u2063 clear is\u200d why anyone who knows the truth about WPATH\u2019s origin would ever listen to \u200ba word they have to say. The WPATH of today \u200cis the proud product of decades\u2062 of quackery and sexual experimentation. It is \u2063a\u200c threat to\u200c public health\u2064 and in \u200bparticular to children.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200dgood news is that there\u2019s a simple solution. The fact that radical activists at\u2064 WPATH provide\u2064 \u201cstandards of \u2063care\u201d doesn\u2019t \u2064mean doctors, hospitals,\u200c medical schools,\u200c or insurance companies have \u2064to follow them, or use them for any purpose. Medical\u2062 professionals have the capability\u200c of rejecting barbarism and doing what\u2019s right. They can exercise some level of restraint. It\u2019s happened before.\u200b Physicians used to engage\u200b in a wide range\u200c of practices\u2063 that we now recognize are gruesome and unethical \u2013 like \u200clobotomies, using heroin as a \u2063cough syrup, and\u2063 treating asthma with chloroform.<\/p>\n<p>In time, WPATH\u2019s \u201cstandards of care,\u201d \u2063and the procedures they \u200dendorse, will meet the \u200bsame fate. WPATH exists because, for years, most people didn\u2019t\u2064 know about its \u2063history, or\u2064 how its \u201cstandards of\u200c care\u201d are used. Most\u200b people \u200bdidn\u2019t know that hospitals will perform double mastectomies, and other life-altering operations, on children. All that\u2019s changing now. WPATH, and everything it stands for, has\u200c been \u200cexposed.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time for the medical\u2062 profession to do what it should have done long ago, and shut down \u200cthese con-artists once\u200d and for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the Sixth Circuit upheld Tennessee&#8217;s ban on child chemical castration, they specifically mentioned WPATH, the authority on &#8220;trans healthcare&#8221; cited by major hospitals and gender clinics.
