And that's DESPITE all the pro-trans propaganda out there.

'Indeed, we can infer from the DSM 5 [2013] and other sources that as many as 88 percent of gender-dysphoric girls and as many as 98 percent of gender-dysphoric boys in previous generations desisted if allowed to go through natural puberty.
'These two facts make it clear why “gender-affirming care” on minors is such an outrage. It leads, in the end, to sterilization and in many cases to a complete loss of natural sexual function.
'There is no good evidence that this helps minors long term. Moreover, it medicalizes what could very well be temporary psychological symptoms.
'History will judge this medicalized “gender-affirming care” on minors as we now judge eugenics and lobotomies.'
The research was published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior.
good summary but DUH!
Yes, obvious to anyone sane, but looking around, how many today have had their minds warped into knots?
Fewer as directly as such; their minds are generally warped into the same knots with a different subject.
It makes them popular, or it protects them from being bullied, or it gets them better grades/more opportunities from their teachers.
They grow out of it as they realize, like most kids who do shit just to be popular, it's just not worth the charade anymore.
"Affirming" it does nothing but make the issue worse and probably draws it out, but of course anyone here knows that.
haha
Exactly right, "DUH!"
Kids go thru all kinds of phases, bed-wetting, puberty, rebellious teen, etc. etc. And eventually they grow out of it.
This is why the evil left wants to grab these kids before they mature, they know full well most of the kids will grow out of it.
We called them Tomboys in the way back before times, and more times than not they grew into to most beautiful, interesting, self confident, sexy women one could imagine.
But I never considered tomboy to have any connotations regarding gender confusion, it was just girls that had less interest in some stereo-typically girl things and more interest in certain stereo-typically boy things. And to a 9 year old boy a girl that will help you build a tree fort and play catch is way cooler than a girl that wants to play dress up and dolls.
But imagine that kid with leftist teachers influencing and confusing them.
My thinking is that tom boys tend to embrace their more feminine side at some point, because they start to understand the masculine better. This is why such adult women tend to have a more well rounded developed view between men and women.
I'm not so sure it's about femininity or masculinity in the end, just life experiences.
I think that given no outside influence, a lot of children would show various degrees of interest in things that would be traditionally in the wheelhouse of the opposite sex.
Boys have played with Barbies for as long as they've existed, girls have gotten messy with the boys since ever.
If people didn't make such a big deal about it, interests would end up aligning naturally for them regardless of masculinity or femininity, which is ultimately a meaningless metric for males and females than they would like people to believe. Especially for children.
I know tomboys in their 30s and 40s, but they don't pretend to be men and that's the key. Tomboys never did.
I have to agree with this.
People eventually find their equilibrium when left on their own.
Did the study cite anywhere that most gender confused children werent gender confused until some moron put the idea into their heads and that the kids didnt reject the idea outright only because modern chemistry and medicine had altered the natural process of development?
Because maybe (hear me out, this one's crazy) teens growing up and surging with hormones are naturally confused about who they are individually and socially ? And that a functional society's task should be to teach them about their roles instead of playing make believe, mutilate and drug them ?
Hormones also lead to thoughts about easier access if they were the opposite sex.
Almost any person I knew my age when I was a young teen had invasive thoughts of "damn if I was a girl..", "damn if I was a boy.." because it would give them easy access to the opposite bits.
Wasn't until modern day that those invasive thoughts that got quickly tossed aside because of reality are now "affirmed" and encouraged, telling them that they can actually become a girl.
Kids just want to fit in, but instead they get told to feel guilty if they are white becaue they are oppressors and the problem so they should feel bad.
BUT if they are trans, then they are stong and brave and part of the protected class that everyone cheers and celebrates. Instant pass on being white.
It also feeds into the attention seeking that kids naturally do.
Gives them something to put on their social media profiles to gain instant attention.
And half of them don't commit suicide like Trannies do.
This is why they are called minors and not allowed to make certain discissions and choices until they are an adult
This is true, and also why gender affirming surgery for minors is basically non-existent.
We have seen a push for that to change which tells us that this is a coordinated effort to take away parental rights.
What about all the stories that say that it is increasing? What about the behavior and statements of doctors proudly talking about the surgery they've performed on kids?
What about CPS getting involved if parents don't agree to transitioning their kid?
It's more than just "a pill".
Is everyone lying? That's a bold claim, if that's what you're saying.
Have you verified the stories you're referring to? I see mostly rage bait on the subject. I understand people are worried that that's where we're headed, but it's not representative of what's happening now.
I seriously wanted to be a cat from age 9-13, had I foolishly been given authority to turn into a cat I would have done so, and then regretted it terribly.
Puberty is a human right. Teenage angst is a thing and most get through it just fine.
they do it to fit in with their friends or to become a "protected class". Once you leave the prison-like government schools the need for this falls off. Just like men turn bitch in prison to prevent being beaten to death
The left is only interested in the reverse, the percent of gender mislead children that grow INTO it, because those are the only ones that hold any political advantage for them.
