The Trans Gravy Train

There is heaps of money to be made in the trans movement:

When you think about it, basically all the terrible social ills found in the West today have one main driving factor behind them: the love of money and the lust to get rich quick, with a minimal amount of work and effort. No wonder Paul said that the “love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). Consider just some of these evil activities:

-Drug dealers getting people hooked on illicit drugs.
-The sex industry getting people hooked on porn, prostitution and so on.
-The human trafficking cartels getting rich off the enslavement of others.
-Big Pharma pushing drugs instead of cures.
-Big Tobacco and the nicotine fix.

The list goes on and on. And there is plenty of money to be made in other areas, especially the trans mafia. So many groups are involved here, seeking to convince innocent children and young people that they are somehow in the wrong body, and if they or their parents cough up a small fortune, all their problems will be fixed.

Mat Staver, the Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel in America has just penned an eye-opening piece about what a cash-cow the trans industry is. They are making millions while destroying the lives of kids and others. Here is what he writes:

There’s a lot of money to be made from preventing gender-confused people from achieving true healing. Perhaps that’s why more than 100 cities and states across the United States have caved to the “gender-affirming care” industry by banning Christian change counseling. Christian change counseling has been proven to heal gender dysphoria and confusion in children and adults. But instead of healing, many cities and states are forcing gender dysphoria patients into the financially lucrative, but often deadly, “gender” abyss.

 

The U.S. Supreme Court is now considering Chiles v. Salazar, to decide if cities and states can ban this counseling. Liberty Counsel set up this case for the High Court, overturning 23 bans in FL, GA, and AL.

 

“You can make two, three, four times as much money being a prescriber than a therapist,” says Daniel Carlat, M.D., a clinical professor of psychiatry at Tufts University. In his book, Unhinged: The Trouble with Psychiatry, Dr. Carlat exposed how and why the mental health industry has largely abandoned “talk therapy” (like Christian change counseling) and stopped focusing on healing individuals and instead focuses on the far more lucrative tact of simply drugging the patients. 

 

The full scope of the crisis can be seen in so-called “gender-affirming care,” where patients become medical and pharmaceutical customers for life. That’s because even after undergoing outrageously expensive mutilating surgeries, patients must continue taking hormones, and often antidepressants, for the rest of their lives. So-called “gender-affirming care” costs millions over the lifetime of the patient. Big Pharma and the medical industry are more than happy to cash in. 

 

Five-thousand dollars per month in drugs and appointments alone.

-400-800/month for counseling fees: First come the counseling visits, with fees anywhere from 200-400 dollars per visit. 

-500/month for antidepressant drugs: Then come the anti-depressant/anxiety drugs which can cost more than 500 per month. Studies show that nearly two-thirds of all “gender care” patients take daily mental health medications for the long term. 

-3,000/month for puberty blockers: Prepubescent children are put on puberty blockers until their bodies are “ready” for cross-sex hormones. 

-500/month FOR LIFE for cross-sex hormones: After puberty, gender-confused patients are prescribed cross-sex hormones, which they will have to take for the rest of their lives. 

Staver continues:

Outrageously expensive designer surgeries. . .

Mutilating plastic surgery can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars per patient, often exceeding 1 million dollars over a lifetime. So-called “Female to Male” surgery: 350,000 dollars, NOT INCLUDING the cost of operating room fees, anesthesiology, hospital stays, and surgical medications, the total of which often cost nearly as much as the surgery itself.

-Phalloplasty: 150,000.

-Facial masculinization surgery: up to 100,000.

-Hysterectomy: 27,000.

-Penile implant: 20,000.

-Double mastectomy: 17,000.

-Body masculinization: 14,000.

-Laser hair removal from surgical sites: 9,000.

-Testicular prosthesis implants: 4,000.

 

So-called “Male to Female” surgery costs: 500,000 dollars, NOT INCLUDING the cost of operating room fees, anesthesiology, hospital stays, and surgical medications, the total of which often cost nearly as much as the surgery itself. 

-Vaginoplasty: up to 300,000. 

-Facial feminization surgery: up to 100,000. 

-Vulvoplasty: 20,000. 

-Labiaplasty: 15,000. 

-Breast implants: 10,000-20,000. 

-Body feminization surgery: 19,500. 

-Laser hair removal surgery: 9,000. 

-Orchiectomy: 8,000. 

-Tracheal shave (reduces size of Adam’s apple): 5,000. 

 

With money like that on the line, no wonder so many are fighting to BAN Christian counseling! HEALING people of gender dysphoria ends an entire industry’s income stream. Perhaps that is why so many in that God-forsaken industry are fighting for MORE Christian counseling bans — because Christian counseling HEALS gender dysphoria without drugs or surgeries. https://lc.org/newsroom/details/251208-pharmas-trans-cash-generator

Another voice that has been sounding the alarm on this is Anita Bartholomew. I have quoted before from her very important book, Sacrificial Lambs: A Liberal Reporter Exposes How the Progressive Left Harms Children in the Name of Gender Ideology (Pitchstone Publishing, 2025). She discusses all the groups conspiring together to promote this:

A majority of the rainbows-and-unicorns transgenderism promotion has been done for free by virtually every major media organization, a good chunk of the entertainments industry, almost all medical associations, almost every liberal college and university, every liberal and progressive K-12 public school system, and most so-called progressive political figures. (pp. 213-214)

She also looks at all the money behind the trans revolution, and then says this:

I’ve spent countless hours pondering the question: how did so many different people and organizations buy into and help sustain the trans craze, despite the abject absurdity of it all, despite its destructiveness, despite its contradicting (with zero evidence) almost everything about sex that we know to be true? I’ve examined all the theories and looked into all the groups that have been singled out by other journalists and authors, and I’ve concluded that it’s not any single group or individual or idea or incentive.

 

It’s all of them.

 

Gender ideology is bolstered and held together by a web of unlikely allies: the wealthy transvestic fetishists and autogynephiles; the indoctrinated educators; the established nonprofits seeking new sources of revenue; the moms and dads who’ve “affirmed” their children and desperately need for it to have been the right call; the medical and mental health professionals profiting from trans-related services; the kids who’ve been purposely confused by their elders; the gays and lesbians who see the T as part of their tribe; the college-educated social justice warriors; all the other “sexual minorities,” including the most perverted, demanding understanding and acceptance; the legacy media that report trans insanity as if it were Truth itself; and the army of virtue signalers whose interest is almost entirely based on a narcissistic desire for high fives and attaboys.

 

Only such a grotesquely idiosyncratic coalition could keep the madness going for as long as it has, cross thousands of miles and more than a dozen countries. (pp. 214-215)

Activist groups with activist agendas, coupled with the never-ending desire to make heaps of money, are what really lie behind the trans tsunami. We must do all we can to resist it, before we lose our culture and destroy our women and children.

Postscript: The Australian connection

A few days ago a lengthy and quite important article appeared in the Australian newspaper on the trans behemoth. Titled, “How the ABC’s pursuit of platinum status with ACON put its integrity on the line,” the piece began this way:

This year the ABC celebrated a sweet victory. After years of dogged persistence, the national broadcaster achieved platinum status for its commitment to trans rights. The media giant had patiently jumped through every hoop set for it by the organisation once known as the NSW Aids Council, now reborn as LGBTQ+advocacy group ACON.

 

Hundreds of major public institutions and corporations have signed up to the lobby group’s radical trans agenda through its workplace benchmarking scheme. Only one organisation could offer ACON the potential to reach millions of Australians every day, an audience relying on it for their news and information, trusting it would uphold its sworn pledge to be independent and impartial. And far from being a reluctant bride, the ABC was paying ACON for the privilege.

 

For those concerned about what the media giant puts to air – and what it doesn’t – the real winner at this watershed moment was clear. It wasn’t the organisation receiving the trophy, it was the organisation handing it out. Australia’s most powerful trans lobby group had well and truly captured the national broadcaster.

If you are wondering why the trans tidal wave seems so relentless and so overwhelming, this is a good part of your answer.
