Transgender and nonbinary identification in America has risen over the last two years as more people come out than ever before.
The Gallup Poll—an industry standard in public opinion research which also uses survey weights—found that 1.3 percent of Americans now identify as transgender, up from 0.9 percent in 2023 and well above the roughly 0.5 percent reported in prior years. Generation Z accounts for much of this increase, with LGBTQ+ identification broadly climbing across all categories.
Far from fading, the data suggests that as stigma decreases and visibility grows, more people feel safe enough to be honest about who they are.
…..
Aaaaand heres where their argument goes completely off the rails.
There is no biologically, medically, or scientifically plausible explanation for the massive increase in gender delusions.
So what could be causing more gender delusions?
Its a fashionable, socially acceptable way of being an attention whore?
To be clear, these people are not “being honest about who they are”.
They are being very dishonest about who they are, and more people are doing it because they see other people doing it
Monkey see, monkey do.
TransTrenders
You can tell they are test driving their various narratives, which to them seem perfectly rational, logical, reasonable…
but they first test drove their arguments in an echo chamber where everyone agreed with their premises,
And now when they test drive their arguments to a larger audience, they actually get pushback, rebuttals, debunking, etc
A good example is how they try to play semantic games with the word “sex” and “gender”
pretending that these two words mean the exact same thing in certain contexts,
yet pretending like sex and gender are completely different concepts in other contexts
for example, you may have heard of a “gender reveal party”
they aren’t revealing anyones “gender”… they are revealing someones “sex”
also, even on official paperwork, they might ask for your “gender” when they actually mean “sex”
your doctor doesn’t give a shit about your “gender” because they operate within the reality of “sex”
