One of the most celebrated groups in the mainstream media is transgendered people or people who suffer from gender dysphoria.
This lead to transgenderism becoming a fad that had many people claiming to be transgendered, especially among the young. However, data now shows that those young people who do embrace a life of transgenderism seem to have abnormally high suicide rates. ..... Female to male adolescents reported the highest rate of attempted suicide (50.8%), followed by adolescents who identified as not exclusively male or female (41.8%), male to female adolescents (29.9%), questioning adolescents (27.9%). ..... Compared to the suicide rate of teens who do not identify as transgendered, this is horrifically high, though any suicide rate is bad. (No kidding!)

There’s a lot of groupthink going on.
Did you see the article a couple of weeks back about “Sudden Gender Dysphoria” among young teen girls? A lot of them decided they were gay or trans—but its at that age where boys are a threatening mystery, and their friends are so... understanding.
Hey are you prejudice against trans-officers?
I agree, they are the sickest. Encouraging their kids to doubt who they are, pushing non-gender upbringing, offering access to transgender groups, and encouraging early hormone therapy, which messes up a confused kid far more than adolescence, which is often difficult even for the more or less normal.
It's good to have input from a front-line professional. Most of us are arm-chair psychologists. Thanks.
Prayers up to you and yours FRiend.
Compare this with yesterday’s story about more Yale students identify as LGBTQXYZ than conservative or Christian.................
Very True.
Jamel's mother thought it was all wonderful her little boy was queer. Then he killed himself. A 9 year old boy. Now she will (rightfully) feel guilty the rest of her life.

well? you encourage young kids, who are by nature sexually confused, to broadcast to the world that they are deviants, and there is a social cost to that.
“hey! look at me! i’m perverse!”
then the poor kid, who has enough troubles, experiences a social pushback...
what do you expect?
IF the students answered accurately, and the survey figures are true (never a sure thing): Well, those confused freshman were confused teens a year ago. This article explores the sexual angst of the transgendered pre-college-age teen.
Yup, gender identity issues are a symptom, not the cause...
Gender dysphoria in post-adolescents is very real, but it's also rare. What is happening is not an epidemic of this malady but its deliberate creation, and the people doing it are profoundly selfish and often overtly malicious, promoting an educational curriculum where is is simply not OK to be a boy, as the recent fashion for "toxic masculinity" attests, not to mention a still ongoing fad for drugging the little guys out of it. One notes that the bulk of the problem is, in fact, boys who want to be girls and not the other way around. It's not hard to see why.
Grooming children for castration is now mainstream.
It damn well should be a crime. These are just confused teenagers.
I despise Leftism.
Very well said
Excellent example. I think a great line would be this:
“Treating a transgender person as though their condition is normal is like agreeing with a dangerously thin person with Anorexia that they are fat.”
Darwin in action, cleaning out the gene pool.
I had a hard time believing or comprehending the results cited. So I went to the Academy website and looked up the study.
Stunning!. Even more stunning is that the report brief didn’t seem to indicate any sense of alarm. It’s just to damning of current trendy psychobabble, I guess.
Of COURSE it is!!!
Mentally ill are ALWAYS at a higher risk of suicide.
Let’s not even get into the fact that pandering to their delusions rather than helping them realize they are deluded just sets them up for more mental and emotional trauma.
Psychologist and Psychiatrists are engaging in malpractice when it comes to these issues. They should be in jail!
