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!!!!

These “parent(s) who influence their children to reject the body they have are sick ..they can not except their children as they were born?
They are the one’s with gender issues and they put it on their children.

“Suicide among the Mentally Ill is breathtakingly high.”

This is a surprise?

I liken it even more to indulging anorexia.

Anorexics think they are fat. They are staggeringly thin but they think they are fat and won’t eat.

Do we agree with them, talk about how chubby they are, praise them for eating a lettuce leaf with mustard for lunch? How cruel would that be.

No we gently and persistently tell them, no Ann, you are very thin. You must eat. You are deluding yourself. Please eat.

What happens here is that someone gets caught up in the europhia and convinced that a little plastic surgery here and there, some dynamic psychological convincing (which goes on for years), and ‘drugs’....will ultimately do the job.

So probably around three months to a year into this...you wake up one day (drug-therapy is going nowhere) and realize that you are mostly a fake ‘something’ but it’s not an opposite sex thing like you intended. You mostly feel faked-out and realize that a ton of money and effort doesn’t really do much anything.

The cherry on this cake is that it’s bad enough that you carry out this game at age 25....but you’ve worked it down to age twelve, and that kid has no grasp of the world or the consequences.

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.

Teenagers are already confused and trying to understand life at that point. To compound their confusion by telling them they have to choose their gender when they were already given one is evil.

It is mental illness. A male says he was born into the wrong body because he “feels” like a woman. How the heck does he know how a woman feels? He doesn’t. He is either afraid of performing in the capacity of a male, or has homosexual desires and can’t admit he’s a fag, so he must be “transgendered”. Don’t humor these people. This won’t end well.

Co-morbidity with other forms of mental illness?

I agree that this phenom is being encouraged; and an impartial outsider has to wonder:

If there is a choice between saying to an adolescent “Wow, you’ve really discovered something incredibly unique about yourself and you have my full support working through this incredibly awesome transformation” versus “why don’t you sit with this for a while, uncomfortable as it may be, many many people experience these kinds of feelings and ALL kids going through hormone onrush go through flaming insanity” what would the differential results be?

I am absolutely sure that many many teens have this fairly well known characteristic when they are young, said simply, THEY MAKE CRAPPY CHOICES. We all do. We all did.

Encouraging individual lunacy leads to general madness.

Re: Michael Jackson? He must have had issues with his nose (and body) since he had surgery so many times that there was nothing left. Apparently he was abused when he was young.

Then there are teens who cut themselves.

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

Liberals encourage self-hate & all things destructive: abortion, assisted suicide. Isn't encouraging mental illness such as transgenderism, assisted suicide for many? To me, it's literally a crime.

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%).

_________________

Two things:

It appears they are comparing Trans attempted suicides rates to non-gender issue people’s completed suicides rates.

Second: Most of the attempted suicides in teens are in people with personality disorders. Many of the personality disordered teens are now claiming that they are transgender. So it concentrates the statistic.

Dealing with more and more of these people in the ER I can tell you ever one has multiple psychiatric problems in addition to their gender confusion.
I’m convinced that their transgenderism is a futile attempt to deal with their REAL psychiatric issues. And when their problems remain after their switch, they really go off the deep end.
