@Thebigmattb-0 Back on "trans kids knowing they are trans" supposedly - I just happened to read this -

Dr. Lisa Littman did a survey in 2018 of 256 parents whose CHILDREN presented with rapid onset gender dysphoria. 82.8% of the subjects were girls.
The findings are mind-blowing.
The average age when they announced they were transgender was 15.2 years of age.
41% of the children had expressed non-heterosexual orientation before identifying with transgenderism.
62.5% of the children had a diagnosis of at least one mental health disorder or neurodevelopmental disorder (such as autism) before the onset of gender dysphoria. Telling.
36.8% of the children had friend groups in which the majority had identified as transgender. This one is important. Nearly 40% of these people had A MAJORITY OF THEIR FRIENDS as transgender. So, yes, you can be groomed into it.
47.2% of the children had a decline in mental health AFTER expressing gender dypshoria. They always tell you that changing genders will make you happier, but that finding contradicts that.
57.3% had a decline in parent–child relationship after expressing gender dysphoria. This one makes sense. The children isolate from their parents because they get closer to their groomers at school, groomer groups online, etc.
25% stopped spending time with non-transgender friends. That is extremely concerning. Makes me think of radicalization.
49.4% tried to isolate themselves from their families. So nearly 50% of these transgender children don't even want to be associated with their families anymore.
46.6% were reported by parents to only trust information from transgender sources. This one is absolutely terrifying. It sounds like a complete cult.
86.7% of the young people after expressing GD showed an increase in social media/ internet use OR belonged to a friendship group in which 1 or multiple friends had identified as transgender within the same time frame. Or both.
So, it just reinforces the phenomenon that this is not naturally occurring. The sudden increase in childhood transgenderism is something that is a social factor.
They are isolating themselves and cutting themselves off from the outside world other than their bubble of other transgender friends.
This isn't shocking because we know that children are young and impressionable. That's why they're throwing these pronouns down people's throats at schools.
But, Littman's study gets even more interesting.
"60.0% of the friend groups were known to mock people who were not transgender. There was also strong evidence that if a child then decided they were not transgender after all, they experienced serious problems subsequently with being branded as a fake or a traitor. This necessitated moving to different schools in some cases."
So, not only do they go into these social groups to feel accepted, but they are mocked if they leave. So imagine, you get sucked into the transgender thing for a few weeks or months because your friends are all doing it, but then you decide it's not for you. You get mocked, bullied and even have to switch schools. It's THAT MUCH of a cult.
And if you want to REALLY dig deep into this stuff, a study conducted prior to this by Dr. Melanie Bechard shows the following statistics about transgender youth:
80% had had some form of prior outpatient assessment for psychosocial or psychological problems.
22% had been inpatients for such problems.
54% had been on psychopharmacologic medication.
34% had dropped out of school.
62% had had suicidal ideation.
36% had self-harmed.
20% had a history of physical abuse.
10% had a history of sexual abuse.
WE ARE DESTROYING OUR YOUTH SO THAT THE VIRTUE SIGNALERS OF THE WORLD CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES!
SHARE THESE FACTS WITH EVERYONE!
When Joe Biden says that we need to protect transgender youth, he means that he wants MORE of this. Protecting transgender youth would mean getting these kids the mental help they need, not perpetrating more of this suffering!
Now my own take.
Youthful rebellion is great. Some of these kids are just doing the fashionable thing of the 2020s for showing rebellion.
The problem is the grownups.
In 2023 a kid who says "I'm trans"..... whether from rebellion or lesbian orientation or peer acceptance or genuine Body Dysmorphia or Depression or Autism or in rare cases from Gender Dysphoria having no other causes..... such a kid will too often, too quickly, find themselves under Dr. Mengele, being turned into a lifelong Profit Center for Big Pharma profit$$$.
And some parents love it.... Munchausen By Proxy.
Other parents wisely don't love it - but have Dr. Mengele & Biden telling them "You have to, haters!!!"
It's wrong.
