That is why teens are not yet considered as adults. They have not matured enough to make rational decisions on their own. The ones cited most likly responed that way to make themselves feel “cool”.

No. I would say these unfortunates have been conditioned to promulgate a lie.

American College of Pediatrics website flatly rejects the transgender child narrative

"The bottom line is this: Our opponents advocate a new scientifically baseless standard of care for children with a psychological condition (GD) that would otherwise resolve after puberty for the vast majority of patients concerned.

.... There is an obvious self-fulfilling nature to encouraging young GD children to impersonate the opposite sex and then institute pubertal suppression. If a boy who questions whether or not he is a boy (who is meant to grow into a man) is treated as a girl, then has his natural pubertal progression to manhood suppressed, have we not set in motion an inevitable outcome? All of his same sex peers develop into young men, his opposite sex friends develop into young women, but he remains a pre-pubertal boy. He will be left psychosocially isolated and alone. He will be left with the psychological impression that something is wrong. He will be less able to identify with his same sex peers and being male, and thus be more likely to self identify as “non-male” or female.

....Never has it been more scientifically clear that children and adolescents are incapable of making informed decisions regarding permanent, irreversible and life-altering medical interventions. For this reason, the College maintains it is abusive to promote this ideology, first and foremost for the well-being of the gender dysphoric children themselves, and secondly, for all of their non-gender-discordant peers, many of whom will subsequently question their own gender identity, and face violations of their right to bodily privacy and safety."

Obama and his pedophile education Secretary trained these little whack jobs in 8 years. He was allowed to teach little boys to be queer and confused about their sex.

I was a young RN working in the recovery room of a hospital in Indianapolis around 1969-early 1970. I don’t remember what type of procedure/surgery done on a teenage patient brought to us from surgery, but I remember the first thing the patient asked us, after awakening from anesthesia was, “What am I?”

We said, “You’re a girl.”

She breathed a sigh of relief, and said, “Oh, thank God.”

Alrighty then. No trannies 40 years ago, no trannies 20 years ago but now, 1 in 137 are trannies, who are 0.1% of the gay population. But if trannies are 1 in 14, the gay population must be 137% of Americans instead of 2%! Valley girl math. And isn’t the Times worried that publishing such overestimated estimates might offend some muslim somewhere causing them to run to a safe zone for a diaper pin and ice cream? Oh wait. Almost forgot. Dancing boys are important to some cultures. Maybe the article is an advertisement.

They buried this towards the end:

“..an extrapolation based on adult responses to a federal survey..”

Suggestibility exploited by propaganda.

It is a choice, not a trait.
