Gender dysphoria is increasingly fashionable among young teens who are becoming sexually aware. Worse yet, it's encouraged and made semi-permanent by "understanding" adults who enable it, particularly if hormone therapy is involved.

On FR, we comment about how perverse and self-defeating this is for most transgenders. Here's some stats which show it might be a self-limiting phenomenon.

Mentally ill people need and deserve treatment so that they can be closer to normal. Current cultural trends demand that the one thing you DON’T do for these mentally ill people is offer them treatment.

Liberals don’t care about people. They care about how something makes them feel.

This is the result of celebrating trans versus treating it as a serious mental health condition.

Ben Shapiro talks about this a lot. I believe he uses the figure, 40%.

It’s actually sad but everytime I lament the fact that my marriage didn’t produce children at least I don’t have to worry that one day they would decide they weren’t born in the body they were intended to be born in.

Why is this a surprise? One must be profoundly mentally ill to even entertain the idea that they want to “change” their sex.And when they finally discover that *that* isn’t “the answer” they decide that it’s time to check out.

I admit, this is something that makes me VERY angry.

These kids need psychiatric help at best, or dismissal at worst, not encouragement, and encouragement is what society is giving them.

It is often normal among a number of kids to be sexually confused to small or large degrees, and they just grow out of it.

But instead, society celebrates it, encourages it, and it becomes a badge, a thing to belong to!

It is criminal that we as a society allow this, and it results in these suicide rates. And preventing them from “coming out of the closet” isn’t the cause as many of them want everyone to think. It is the underlying unhealthiness and cognitive dissonance that is the cause of the unhappiness the translates to suicide rates.

I often think the basic mechanism is the same as young mothers having children out of wedlock. In the past, it happened to, but it was a definite point of shame, and discouraged by society. Now we celebrate young teenage girls having children out of wedlock, make them a “protected class” and even provide facilities in high schools to encourage it. And we wonder why those numbers are out of control.

Our society is so far off the tracks in some respects.

I think this is terrible child abuse in that these teens would probably be normal if someone didn’t push the trans gender agenda on them.

It’s mass reverse psychology.
Normal people are the problem.

My thoughts are that these kids are trying on this crap for attention - because who or what is getting more attention than the lgbtqrst crowd?

And between no fathers, liberal mothers, no attention or discipline because their parents are off taking care of their own “needs”, treated as mini-adults to relieve the parents’ sense of responsibility, shoved into full time, clinical day care warehouses from 3 weeks old - these poor kids are attention starved to say the least.

When being sexually abnormal wears off or doesn’t work they try suicide for attention. Their minds are already distorted, I would bet that they think they will be rescued in time.

It’s not all their own fault that they are so effed up. But go ahead and blame Conservative Christians for making your kid feel bad.

The only reason there are so many “transgender teens” is because they’re being encouraged by adults. No one is born in the wrong body, as they claim. It’s a contradictory statement in itself.

So, Commie Rats are essentially guilty of murdering transgender teens.

Permit me some self-righteous comment, but we conservatives are NOT guilty of that.

When your morally bankrupt ideology makes you a murderer, you need to reconsider your ideology!!!!

A boy who is allowed to dress and act like he's a girl is likely doing so to avoid responsibility. It can be a scary thing for a teen boy to become a man. All that responsibility, having to learn to defend yourself in a fight, expected to do hard (manual labor) work, needing to learn a skill so you can provide for your family. Possibility of being drafted and sent to war. All that pressure goes away when you put on a dress. Now you are pampered and catered to as girls are. Even better, the boy does not have the downside of natural females, like menstrual cramps, fear of becoming pregnant, etc.

That boy is living the best of both worlds!

The only reason you didn't see this in previous generations was because it was not socially acceptable for a boy to act like a girl in any way. Now not only is it acceptable but it is celebrated.

It is thus no surprise to see that the behavior is rapidly becoming more widespread.
