Even more troubling, half of those surveyed reported not being able to get mental health care when they needed it.

The mental health system (and education system) is essentially telling them they are fine! They are telling them they are "normal" and should embrace their mental illness. They are NOT fine. They are sick, and need help. These children have suicide rates similar to or higher than psychotic disorders! In the case of transgenders, that hazard also applies to their risk of violence. You don't tell someone with schizophrenia they are normal and should obey the voices, and you shouldn't tell mentally ill children that they are fine.

They're mentally ill.

Affirming their delusions will not cure crazy.

As my SIL said to her soon to be ex husband when he threatened suicide: “Don’t Wait!”

“Transgender men were the most at risk, with more than 50 percent of them reporting considering suicide and 18 percent of them attempting it.”

Because the are sad neurotic girls struggling with all sorts of mental health problems or emotional trauma, often sexual abuse.

Mental illness cannot be "fixed" by pretending it is "normal" or by convincing others to "play along" with their dysphoria. Like watering a tree, that'll only make it grow.

You can't enable the morbidly obese into physical health; you can't enable a drug addicts into sobriety; and you can't enable the mentally ill into stability.

Those with mental disorders always have higher suicide rates, period.

I doubt that this is a surprise to anyone on Free Republic. We have been reading many articles and even peer-reviewed papers (for what that is worth) for some time now, and that is one of the reasons so many of us are absolutely dead-set and appalled at this normalization of this insanity, PARTICULARLY with young children!

We recognize that many young people go through stages in early life where sexual issues are confusing and uncomfortable, and what they need is help getting through those stages, and they are fine and have a normal life.

This has NOTHING to do with those poor children who are born with ambiguous sex, who may have a mix of physical sexual characteristics. This children NEED surgical and therapy help. I specifically say this, because every time you have this conversation with people who are all in on transsexualism, they ALWAYS seem to bring this up, and it has NO bearing on those hermaphroditic children.

The atrocity is encouraging and aiding children from pre-teens up to 18 to undergo sex change procedures! IT IS CHILD ABUSE. Those poor kids will NEVER, EVER have a happy life. They are sentenced to lives of misery and pain, and willingly sentenced to that BY THEIR OWN PARENTS, EDUCATORS, LEGISLATORS, and MEDICAL PERSONNEL.

It is criminal. These people who encourage this, fund this, and carry this shameful abuse out should go to jail. Especially those “professionals” in Medicine like the ones on record who laud it as a “revenue stream”.

Sometimes, it is nearly impossible for me to imagine this world we live in now, where this is normalized and encouraged.

Shameful.

I often drive by houses that say “This house supports transgender teens.”

What?

I don’t give a crap if they kill themselves. I’m more worried about the vast majority of these train wrecks wanting to take a bunch of normies with them.

I would more favor 100% of teens considering killing their groomers with a baseball bat with nails stuck in it.

A just released 15 year study that found: 96% of trans children, if left alone and allowed to go through puberty, will accept their biological gender and go on to live normal lives with a normal suicide rate.

96 percent.

Most gender-confused children grow out of it, landmark 15-year study concludes - as critics say it shows being trans is usually just a phase for kids

Hormones and "gender affirming surgery" damages 96% of gender-confused children, because it prevents them from going going through puberty and growing up (and growing out of their gender confusion).

Notice you aren't seeing any headlines about this study. If it went the other way (supporting transitioning) you can be sure it would be headline news.

Having adult strangers (psychologist and whackjob trachers) encourage you to be gay or tran against your parent(s?) will can really mess up a psychology.
