In June 2021 all over the world, including Russia, will enter into force the International Classification of Diseases of the eleventh revision (ICD-11), in which ALL sexual perversions, including pedophilia, will be recognized as the norm and will become types of "sexual health".

To understand the consequences for society from this violent innovation, we bring to your attention the report “The influence of the transformation of the value-motivational sphere on the formation of gender-role identity in children and adolescents in a modern family,” made at the round table “Raising children in line with traditional spiritual and moral values as a strategy of national conservation December 5, 2019, at the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, Moscow

We live in an era of changes, including those taking place in Russian society, when norms and standards of life are significantly transformed. In the current situation of the development of Russian society, gender has also become relevant and significant, an integral part of which is the problem of gender identity.

The increased interest in this problem is due to the fact that gender identity is the most important component of the self-consciousness of a person undergoing significant transformations during the period of social upheavals.

Gender identity as a biological, socio-psychological phenomenon is an integrative, multidimensional phenomenon and is one of the basic characteristics of a person, it influences the formation of a special system of ideas about oneself as a person of a certain gender, including specific needs for men and women, motives, value orientations, etc. the forms of behavior corresponding to these formations.

In addition to biological factors, social and psychological factors are involved in the formation of gender identity, primarily the microsocial environment, i.e. family.

The family is the first social institution where the child masters the culture traditional for a given society, including gender-role stereotypes, attitudes, and ideas. In the family, under the influence of parents, as the first objects of identification, the structures of everyday consciousness and self-awareness are formed, the first idea of oneself as a boy or girl.

Adequate formation of gender identity is favorable for the child's assimilation of cultural norms, samples transmitted by adults, for the full development of the child's interpersonal relations system, taking into account his gender, establishing his status in the peer group, for the development of communication skills, normal adaptation and socialization of the child.

Disorders of early psychosocial interactions, basic patterns of parent-child relationships, abnormal sex education, or the lack of an adequate pattern of sex-role behavior can lead to gender-role deviations.

What is happening with children and family values at the present stage

At present, in our country, as in the whole world, there is a crisis of the institution of family and marriage. Young people do not seek to enter into marriage, take responsibility and legal obligations imposed by law and arising in family relationships.

The study of modern families confirms a significant, fairly rapid destruction of family values, traditions and foundations that have a centuries-old history of their formation. The loss of trust between family members, the loss of common interests, aspirations and mutual understanding, the growth of detachment and alienation within the family, the gap between generations, hypoclosure or overprotection on the part of parents, frequent conflicts between them, as well as incomplete families all together determine the vector of social and psychological development of children, their psychological and mental ill-being.

Adolescence is especially vulnerable in this respect - one of the crisis stages in the formation of a person's personality. In adolescence, during puberty, behavior is largely determined by the reactions of emancipation, grouping with peers, imitation of hobbies (hobbies), as well as emerging sexual attraction, characteristic of this period of life.

Functional instability of physiological functions, uneven development of various mental functions and qualities (accelerated development of intellectual capabilities with a lag in the formation of value-motivational and emotional-volitional spheres of the adolescent's personality, weakness of will mechanisms) can manifest itself in a variety of behavioral deviations.

During this age period, adolescents often resort to alcoholism, the use of psychoactive substances (PAS), and can also commit antisocial acts and suicidal actions.

We can say that the prosocial, as well as the group-centric levels of the personal-semantic sphere in many families have given way to the egocentric level, when the achievement of a set goal is subordinated not to the interests of the family or the reference group, not to social or moral values, but to personal benefit, convenience and prestige.

In the younger generation, brought up in the spirit of freedom of expression, a departure from the stereotypes of behavior prevailing in society, including stereotypes of sex-role behavior, the formation of self-identity and gender-role identity can occur, and in some cases it occurs, in a distorted form.

Thus, the ideas of childlessness as a conscious choice ("childfree") are widely spread. Hedonistic goals may well be satisfied outside of marriage; moreover, a stable marriage is assessed as a factor limiting sexual freedom. A natural consequence of the devaluation of marriage and family was a significant drop in the birth rate.

Recently, the situation with the so-called "porno and masturbatory" addiction has become a disaster. Young people abandon real intimate relationships, preferring masturbation and watching porn - relationships with the opposite sex are burdensome for them, and getting pleasure through masturbation and watching porn is easy; there is no need for communication and its value.

The Internet actively condemns the image of the "mother mother", "ovulation" as a primitive woman with many children who has no other interests. Allegedly "grounded" articles of bloggers are being distributed, insisting on the final death of the institution of marriage and the negative impact of family relations on physical and mental health; became very popular statements that a husband / wife is not needed and even harmful after 40-50 years.

It is argued that the motive for marriage is only a primitive fear of loneliness in old age and the desire to solve their financial problems, and the desire to have children is called "the problem of a glass of water that someone must serve before dying."

Another important reason seems to be a sharp reduction in the possibility of finding a child, and, which is especially important, of a teenager in a group of peers and his experience of adaptation.

The involvement of adolescents and young people in virtual communication, in many cases anonymous, is becoming a negative phenomenon. In the modern world, people turn to the Internet for information, first of all, and it is possible to separate the truth from the "fake" only by fully viewing the array of information, which will require a lot of exposure.

And when a person is already in a different "mental state", then he already becomes a target in order to fall under the influence of a massive attack from the media, which, in pursuit of "hype," which is the substitution of concepts.

The reason for leaving for virtual communication may also be a consequence of the minimization or absence of parent-child communication, as a result of which the child remains on his own. If earlier in such situations it was compensated by communication with peers in the yard, now, especially in large cities, it has become almost impossible.

And it turns out that the only communication environment possible for a teenager is the Internet, where you don't need to express real emotions, where you can introduce yourself as anyone, you can choose any image for yourself, and where you bear no responsibility for such virtual communication.

It is also worth noting the negative impact on the development of a teenager of such cartoons as "anime" (more than 60% of those who seek help from a sexologist are fond of them), in which sadism, pedophilia, incest and other deviations are promoted in a bright cover. The general name of the style of these cartoons "gender-bender" means that it is very difficult to distinguish which gender a character is, a boy or a girl; in addition, according to the plot, the characters easily change their sex, that is, we are talking about promoting the idea of “transgenderism”.

About the general hysteria about "gender dysphoria"

What are the professionals who are approached by children and adolescents with these ideas? The transitional age determines the originality of painful experiences, for example, in adolescents, various mental illnesses can outwardly proceed in the form of dysmorphomania (pathological belief in the presence of an imaginary physical handicap) and dysmorphophobia (a mental disorder in which a person is overly concerned and busy with a minor defect or feature of his body); sometimes dissatisfaction with one's own body reaches the level of delirium.

Mental pathology in adolescence can be closely related to problems of self-awareness and identity. It is no coincidence that in adolescence, personality formation disorders with derealization are often encountered (the outside world seems to be alien, unreal); depersonalization (one's own "I" looks strange and alien, the feeling of the reality of one's own body is lost, apathy appears, emotions are dulled); alienation syndrome, multiple personality disorder.

This contingent of patients with the so-called "sexual dysphoria" in most cases is characterized by delayed identification with gender, undifferentiated sex-role identity (mixed feminine-masculine), being stuck at the stage of platonic-erotic relations, and rejection of one's physicality.

There are signs of social maladjustment (difficulties in communicating with peers) and autism (a change in the psyche towards isolation, a decrease in the need for communication, withdrawal from reality into the world of one's own experiences), negative self-esteem, certain features of the emotional sphere, a tendency to self-injurious and suicidal behavior.

As a result, we are faced with a "confused" teenager - either with psychological or mental disorders, who seizes on the idea of "transgender" as a way to solve problems and get out of his difficult state.

One of the main problems that complicate the treatment and diagnostic work and the conduct of special studies in this area is the relatively late age of seeking help in comparison with the onset of the disease. It takes from 2 to 4, or even more years, before they reach the doctor, when the ideas of gender reassignment, unfortunately, have already crystallized.

Often, at the first stage, they themselves seek help on the Internet, where the idea of "gender conflict" is rather aggressively promoted as the main cause of mental problems and freedom to choose their sexual preferences is imposed.

Entering into communication with such authors, adolescents conclude for themselves that they are not alone so “strange”, and that there are ways to be happy. But there, unfortunately, they almost do not write that after a person has achieved what he wants and changed his gender, this makes him happy only for a short time - in most cases he still ends up with his problems, and in the future he the condition worsens as often these ideas are a manifestation of mental pathology.

At the next stage, they again turn not to doctors, but to specialists who are little familiar with this issue, underestimate the clinical complexity of the situation and actually disorient the parents and the patient in ways of solving it.

Based on our experience, if a child previously doubted his condition, then after such a supposedly "fruitful" communication, he becomes convinced that he is a transsexual, because a specialist who does not orientate himself in the mental state of a teenager or a child supports, and sometimes even induces transgender ideas. And parents, together with their child, turn to a sexologist late, when the situation has already reached a critical point.

Some of the nuances that distinguish such children and adolescents from true transsexuals (hereinafter - TS):

- in these persons, the ideas of belonging to the opposite sex appear at prepubertal, pubertal and older ages (in true TS, at parapubertal age);

- they express these ideas as follows: “I want to be a person of the opposite sex” (for TS - “I feel and am a person of the opposite sex”);

- in relation to family and children, they say: “I don’t want a family, children” (TS has a strong desire to have a family, and if possible, children);

- in relation to intimacy, they say: “It doesn't matter with whom,” that is. consider themselves "demisexuals" and in reality practice intimate relationships with representatives of both sexes (true TS in very rare cases are attracted to the opposite sex, mainly sexual attraction is directed to people of the same sex and in intimate relationships they try not to be naked before surgery).

On the new classification of ICD-11 and the reflection in it of the problems of gender identity disorders

In ICD-11, categories related to gender identity will be excluded from the heading of “mental and behavioral disorders”. The main impetus for this decision was the protest against stigma (stigma, negative labeling) that accompanies any condition recognized as a mental disorder.

It is worth noting, however, that the stigmatization of mental disorders in itself cannot be recognized as a significant reason for excluding or changing a rubric - in which case, for the same reason, all other mental disorders should be eliminated.

In addition, the reason for the exclusion from the category of mental disorders was the argument that the diagnosis of “mental disorder” may exacerbate the problems of transgender people associated with receiving care not related to mental illness, ie. other specialists.

Firstly, the diagnosis of gender identity disorders cannot be carried out without differentiating it from other mental disorders, and secondly, in our country, reception, diagnosis and assistance to such persons is carried out by sexologists, and sexology is an interdisciplinary specialty that takes into account all aspects of this Problems.

In ICD-11, “transsexualism” is replaced by “gender inconsistency in adolescence and adulthood”, and the sub-heading “gender identity disorder in childhood” is replaced by “gender inconsistency in childhood”.

What is negative brought into the ICD-11

Gender mismatch in adolescence and adulthood includes the duration of signs for several months (in the previous ICD-10 for 2 years) or the presence of at least two of the following signs:

a) strong dislike or discomfort in relation to the primary or secondary sex characteristics, due to their mismatch with the desired sex;

b) a strong desire to get rid of some or all of the primary and secondary sexual characteristics;

c) a strong desire to have primary and secondary sexual characteristics corresponding to the desired sex;

d) a strong desire to be a person of the associated sex.

This means that now the presence of two signs about the dislike of sexual characteristics and the desire to get rid of them, which are a manifestation of the "dysmorphophobic syndrome", is already enough for a sex change.

In addition, the terms “associated sex” and “sex assigned at birth” were introduced in ICD-11. The term "assigned" has a somewhat negative connotation, as an erroneous one, although sex at birth is determined by primary sex characteristics, there is no other possibility.

Regarding the sub-heading "Gender identification disorder in childhood", it should be noted that, apart from the fact of "depathologization" of this phenomenon, the criteria have become better and clearer than in ICD-10.

In accordance with ICD-11, the diagnosis can be made upon reaching the age of 5, the duration of the symptoms is at least 2 years and the presence of all of the following symptoms is mandatory:

a) a strong desire for a child or insistence that he belongs to the opposite sex;

b) a strong dislike of the child in relation to his own anatomical signs or upcoming secondary sexual characteristics, or a strong desire to have anatomical signs or upcoming secondary sexual characteristics;

c) the child pretends or plays games, performs actions typical for the associated sex more than for the one assigned at birth.

Offers

In the modern world, bans are not effective methods - it is necessary to create a multi-level complex alternative that will allow us to compete and resist negative influences in the formation of a healthy generation of Russians.

Since the family plays an important role in the formation of gender-role identity, it is necessary to bring modern civil legislation in line with the state policy aimed at increasing the authority and value of the family, strengthening it, increasing the birth rate, protecting the family, childhood and motherhood.

In order to prevent the occurrence of mental development disorders in children and adolescents (including for the timely phased development of the psychosexual sphere), it is necessary to develop a number of measures to protect the psyche of children and adolescents in conditions of uncontrolled information flow.

The upbringing of children in preschool institutions should be carried out by trained competent specialist educators, psychologists.

These positions should be well-paid and should be held by people who are well educated, well-versed in gender and mental health issues, and continually improving their skills.

These professions should be prestigious, they should be occupied not by those who agree to work there, but by those who have the appropriate education and personal qualities.

A similar principle should apply in schools: kindergartens and schools are institutions in which a child spends a lot of time during a period when a sex-role identity is being formed.

Organization of extracurricular group activities that enhance the interaction and communication skills of children and adolescents.

Production of films and programs about children and adolescents, about life, relationships with peers, parents, etc.

Production of cartoons with full-fledged sexual images, with the inclusion of modern themes that are interesting for children.

Development and improvement of sexological services; sexology is the science of the human gender, and sexologists, along with other specialists, can help in the formation of a healthy generation.
