You're describing a current tragedy helped along by the American Academy of Pediatrics. I just attempted to post a review of Abigail Shrier's Irreversible Damage on Amazon, giving it five stars and pointing out that it could help parents and especially help with medical treatments a child is likely to regret. Amazon would not post the review, saying it violated "community standards."

What percentage of children who succumb to trans propaganda, are assigned whiteness in school and on social media? They seem to be the majority. Are they? Why is that?

Hang on, why does it matter that someone goes on hormones “ when they’re too young to have had sex”? You seem awfully vague about that detail

Unfortunately thousands worldwide. It’s a medical disaster.

"A quarter of the girls in my daughter’s class identify as transgender. Seven out of 28."

--- Specifically trans or just LGBTQ+ in general? If it's the later you've nothing to worry about. Kids are identifying as "non-binary" because they feel they don't fit into the stereotypes associated with their sex. It doesn't mean they are going to ask for cross-sex hormones or surgery. ACE (asexual) is also included in the LGBTQ+ in which case if your kid identifies as that, you can thank your lucky stars.

Prior to 2010 or so, roughly 1 in 20k to 1 in 40k adults self-identified as trans. We've seen an explosion in the self-identified trans label, but mostly limited to young people.

Similarly, when it became more socially acceptable to be gay, we saw an explosion in self-identified gay folks, but critically - we saw this across all age groups.

Now, the effect was more pronounced in younger people, but it wasn't nearly as drastically skewed as it is today with trans identification.

There are I think genuine young trans people who are struggling but they are a small minority of self-identified trans folks.

Simply put, because we venerate trans people, young people see this and want in on the action. It is a quick way to upper middle class status for adolescents. Combine this fact with the fact that adolescents are in their primary identity formation years, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Nothing about this suggests that trans kids don't exist - only that we can't easily differentiate the truly trans kids from the rest who simply want a hip label for themselves, like a pair of fashionable jeans. Worse still, the clinics and advocates don't seem to understand this problem, or are minimizing it. This will be the end of the trans movement in the coming years. In another 4 years or so, the first young kids to transition will be in their early and mid twenties, and there will be a reckoning.

Shameless self promotion alert - I wrote a post about some of the very poor arguments made in favor of liberalizing child transition rules: https://nothingdoing.substack.com/p/good-intentions-and-bad-arguments

It's a social contagion, but unlike fads of yesteryear, this one is engineered by adults, phony experts, at the heights of society, including US Govt. (We could call it a "government-engineered health crisis.") The cult-like elements mean it's a political religion: all ideologies like this have distinct religious overtones (punishment of heresy, shunning, 'creedal ferocity') but include pseudo-science: ideas/theories that cannot ever be proven.

After all, how does one prove a kid was born into the wrong body? How does one prove a kid is "right" when they say they want to be the opposite sex? Does it show up on an X-Ray? An MRI? A CT Scan? A PET scan? Via exploratory surgery? A blood test? Of course not.

In fact, childhood and adolescence is known to be a period where kids have ambiguous and contradictory feelings about these things, which resolve themselves in 99% of the population.

--Like all cults, this one splinters relationships by inserting doubt. ("Did your mom say you're a girl?" Did your dad say you're a boy? Maybe that's not true.")

--Like all predators, these people seek to drive a wedge between children and their parents. ("Let's keep secrets - Mom and Dad don't need to know!").

--Like all cults, this one severs family relationships. ("We're your real family, forget about mom and dad.")

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits."- Matthew 7:15-20

Political religions are the paving stones to totalitarian regimes.

Imo, this ideology is being pushed because it breaks up the nuclear family. In other words, it's a feature, not a bug. The nuclear family (and extended family) presents the most formidable defense against evil and totalitarianism. Breaking it into bits and atomizing it = breaking the potential to resist something not yet revealed.

I'm not suggesting a conspiracy theory is at work. I'm suggesting there's a real, spiritual evil lurking and spreading through the subterranean conduits of society. Some are carriers. Some are resisters and immune.

Think: "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." And grab that Bible and start reading + praying. (Try the Gospel of Mark or Luke; short + easy to read.)

Yes, doctors, schools & the Gov. are all in bed together, so to speak. The LGB alphabet people seem to wield enormous power, their evil stretches far and wide, however their main goal has been focused on getting children through the mass indoctrination process.

As far as the kids go, they are being taught these lies as fact by the education system, the 'educators' are fearful of the Gov. & of course the doctors are in it for the money. It's a vicious cycle.

The kids are being lied to & are too young to understand the far-reaching medical consequences of the evil medical interventions, creating a dependence on medical problems for the rest of their lives. The world is going crazy, the poor kids are the innocent lives being wrecked.

In my mother's day the circus highlighted freaks like the "bearded lady" for entertainment. Now, what we are witnessing is a growing number of future "bearded ladies" is it simply mind-blowing.

The pure evil of this insanity has to stop, we can only watch & wait, hopefully sooner than later. Many are fighting the good fight, hopefully things turn around before more young lives are offered up to spiritually deceiving rainbow gods.

It is important to remember that body dysmorphia, including issues such as anorexia and bulimia, are considered forms of mental illness, and are treated medically as such. However, GD, because of the sexual component, has been claimed by the LGB crowd as their own and thus, cannot be a mental problem - according to them.

However, over 80% of children with GD experience suicidal ideation, and over 40% attempt suicide. Many are on the autism spectrum. Other mental issues plague this group as well. These are not mentally healthy children.

Let's also not forget that homosexuality was also considered a mental illness not that long ago, until the gay lobby got the definition in the DMS IV changed.

Fact - gay people, like transgenders, have a much higher incidence of mental illness than the average population. They like to claim it's due to society's non-acceptance of them, but that excuse is long, long gone. On top of that, these issues of mental illness are found in European societies that have long been accepting of homosexuality, such as the Netherlands.

We MUST force - since we can't talk sense to them, force will be required - the trans supporters to see sense. I'm not talking physical force, but electoral force, parental and citizen involvement, whatever it takes to keep these people away from our children.

All of this will take immense work by parents and citizens demanding that the entire trans issue be off limits in school, that all sexual politics of any sort be off limits in school. Parents' rights must be demanded, and where school boards are violating them, the boards must be taken to court.

When leftist politicians don't agree, they must be shown clearly that their decisions will cause them to be defeated in their next election. If recall is possible in your state, it must be used to stop these people. They must FEAR the citizenry and the only way that happens is when we are constantly in their faces and threatening their positions.

Politically, parents need to get elected to these boards to protect the children from these perverts who wish to harm the children.

None of this will be easy and the activists will scream bloody murder. Fine, let them scream. You got through it when your two year old did it, you can do it again!

Children are vulnerable to insanity promoted by adults around them. A fundamentally unhealthy environment is going to produce fundamentally unhealthy kids . . . . Planet Earth, we have a problem here.

Hard to feel bad for someone that sought this out for their child.

I said, IF sex is a construct, then race is That Much More of one. I agree that race is not simply a social construct. You expand this point quite well and much more could be said. Still with all that said, I would reiterate, that race is Less of a difference than Sex. And sex is being erased and race is being minutely policed.

"I used to be proud that my children attended a progressive school that is anti-racist, inclusive, and believes in social justice."

Well right there you just told me you're racist against whites, heterophobic against straights and sexist against males.

You deserve what you're getting and hopefully it will never end cause you're an enemy who deserves this pain directed from your own hateful tribe.

Race is MORE of a social construct than Sex. If sex is a whim, then race is THAT MUCH MORE of a whim. I reject the racial assignment of Oppressor foisted on me by my daughters school!

I have been escorted from meetings because my skin color implies violence. But women safe spaces are to be trashed. NO.

No one wants to be on the wrong side of civil rights. But Pride Progress is squatting on that legacy.
