Parents who contributed to the study claimed that clinicians pressured them to affirm their children’s transitions, and reported that their children’s mental health issues — including gender dysphoria, anxiety, and depression — all worsened after transition.
Among girls featured in the study, 60.9 percent reported having another friend coming out as transgender “around the same time.” Having friends come out as transgender was heavily correlated with the decision of girls to socially transition. According to the study, 77.3 percent of females with transgender friends “had taken steps toward social transition, compared with 54 percent without such friends; for males, respective figures were 39.5% and 21.7%.”
As I have said countless times, these are KIDS. They are easily impressionable, confused and immature. Ruining their lives is NOT the answer.
