Can Gender Dysphoria Be Cured?

Families, communities, states, and nations are stronger when each person is medically healthy. One of the medical health problems that is being forced on individuals and families is the idea that people can be born in the wrong body. It is a mental health problem known as gender dysphoria.

Many young men and young women are being urged to have body changing surgeries and/or take hormones in an attempt to change from a male to a female or from a female to a male. It is possible to change the looks of a person, but it is impossible to change their DNA.

In “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” modern-day prophets and apostles published information that all people need to know about gender issues: “Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.” Females were female and males were male in the premortal world, and females will be female and males will be male in the postmortal world. Gender remains the same from the premortal world to this world to the eternal world. 

Yet, people in this world seek to indoctrinate young men and young women who are experiencing mental trauma known as gender dysphoria and who believe that they are in the wrong body. Some of those same people sought to stop one young man from telling his story, according to Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell at The Daily Signal. 

Threats and bullying from peers and censorship from his college couldn’t stop detransitioner Simon B. Amaya Price from sounding the alarm on so-called gender transitions for children.

Amaya Price, 20, was tasked with creating an event about social change for a class at Berklee College of Music, a private music college in Boston. He decided to host a presentation Oct. 20 titled “Born in the Right Body: Desister and Detransitioner Awareness” to share his own struggles with gender dysphoria in high school and how he overcame them.

After Amaya Price received almost 1,000 negative comments on social media, including messages threatening his physical safety and recommending he drop out of school and commit suicide, the administration of the liberal arts college forced him to cancel the presentation, Boston-native Amaya Price told The Daily Signal.

But on Sunday, Amaya Price made a comeback. After Berklee failed to follow up on his requests to reschedule the event, he found his own platform….

The MIT Open Discourse Society allowed Amaya Price to host his lecture on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. An organization called Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender provided refreshments and logistical support. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, or FIRE, also raised awareness of Amaya Price’s situation.

The event logged about 40 in-person attendees and 60 virtual listeners. Many in the audience were parents whose children suffer from gender dysphoria, looking for answers of how to save their children from the transgender cult, Amaya Price said….

“I feel like I’ve given a lot of these parents hope, because I’m here today, I’ve been through this, I came out the other side, and I’m OK,” he said. “That’s what a lot of these parents need. They need hope. And right now how it is in Massachusetts, especially, there aren’t a lot of places to look.”

Amaya Price’s presentation highlighted the hate he says he has received on social media since announcing his event and his journey from identifying as trans to accepting his biological sex. He ended with the reminder: “No child is born in the wrong body.”

Amaya Price, who has been diagnosed with autism, said he experienced social ostracism and a mental health crisis in ninth grade, leading him to decide his problem was that he actually was a girl.

He told his therapist, who affirmed his gender dysphoria and referred him to Boston Children’s Hospital for hormones and surgeries. His pediatrician told Amaya Price’s father he could choose between having a “dead son or a living daughter,” and that the then-14-year-old would kil himself if denied hormones and surgery.

Amaya Price’s father immediately shut down the possibility of a medical “transition,” which his son now says is “the best thing he could have done.”

Amaya Price calls himself a “desister,” someone who identified as transgender but decided to live in accord with his biological gender instead of undergoing medical interventions.

The truth must come out: No one is born in the wrong body. God, through his prophets and apostles, has proclaimed that we brought our gender with us from the premortal world, and we will take it with us into the postmortal world. The best thing that parents can do for their children is to refuse the hormonal treatment and the surgeries and give their children time and therapy to treat their gender dysphoria. By doing so, parents can strengthen their family, community, state, and nation.
