Show business kids making movies of themselves....
When I was in HS, “Catcher in the Rye” was THE book to read, according to our newly minted, very LIBERAL English teacher, right out of college, at the time, ink barely dry on her sheepskin.
She put it on our REQUIRED READING LIST, along with Hemmingway’s “The Sun Also Rises”.
Good heaven’s! It’s a wonder we all didn’t commit suicide after reading that trash!
Who in their right mind would think that reading a novel about some teenager trying to get laid and a war veteran that can’t is a good idea to make hormone enraged teenagers read?..................
I don’t understand why a young woman would want to be a man. Giving up all that free beer, and attention to just be another disposable entity that would have built in normal female personality traits that both women and men would find distasteful in a man
Many people, teens especially, are slaves to peer pressure and fashion. How many of us who grew up in the 1970s recoil in horror at the photos of us during those days? The hideous fashions like bell bottoms and platform shoes. The terrible hair styles. That even goes on with todays teens.
The difference is that it is fairly easy to buy a new wardrobe when you grow up and start cutting and styling your hair like a normal person. However, hormone treatments and destructive surgery is irreversible. That we are allowing our very impressible kids to do this is a crime. We are allowing them to destroy their lives forever.
Exactly so.

I have personal knowledge of two female to male transitions. Both have had blood clots in their lungs from male hormones and both have ceased taking male hormones although not detransitioned.
People pushing these transitions with CHILDREN are like predators who attack our most vulnerable.
Isn’t it funny, though, how planned Parenthood is always the snake in the tree? Evil organization.
You know they don't give a **** about anybody else.
Did you have to post the whole friggin book? Just a link would have been adequate for this BS.
This is a must-read for parents, grandparents, or anyone who is concerned about the devastation to children and adults wreaked by our increasingly Leftist society out of its condescending fake concern for people suffering from the trumped-up illness of gender dysphoria.
It is also amazing to hear the story as told by an adolescent girl, giving many of us our only chance to look inside the life of a young girl and the weird problems they face (or think they face).
It is also interesting to discover that part of the problem is that the internet gives people access to communities of people like themselves. I would have thought that would be a good thing, but this young women explains how it isn't...at least in her life.
Additionally, it is fascinating to hear how the general principles of CRT (i.e., white privilege) pushed this girl to seek minority status by becoming "trans."
People often bitch about posting excerpts from blogs and now here you are bitching about the opposite.
Very true!
Yes. Shallow people will agree with your conclusion.
In my college years, I briefly dated a girl who was so into “Catcher in the Rye”, that she had a cat named Holden Caulfield. At the time, I didn’t know liberal from conservative from a hole in the ground, but I ended up breaking up with her because she was a nut. AND liberal. AND her mother had passed away, and her father was estranged from the family unit. No parental guidance at all.
When I got up this morning and sat down with my cup of coffee, opened up my tablet and started reading posts here on FreeRepublic, I didn’t know I would get sucked into an ex-transgender’s odyssey into that world, and her escape from it. After reading it, I checked out the pictures on the web page you linked to.
What a remarkable story. It was fascinating, looking thru a window into that world. It gives me a better understanding of what is going on with that.
THAT was an education! I’m glad the young lady was able to break free of that movement. God Bless her.
Thanks for posting this!
