Now That Trans Isn't Cool.....

[SweetSue92]

Just thinking about the number of former students I have who transitioned once they got to middle or high school. What now? How do you come back from THAT?

It clearly was a cultural fad.. Yes, teens love fads, but many are temporary and harmless. Die your hair, cut it off, get a perm, wear weird clothes. All easily reversed.

But if you told everyone you were a completely different gender, and even took on a new name, now what?

BTW, I have taught for over 30 years (and am close to retirement), hundreds to thousands of students per year. Previous to about 2019, I heard of exactly ONE student who was trans. Since then? So many.

Definitely a fad.

Well, if they haven’t had surgery or taken hormones, going back is very easy

For most teens just figuring themselves out in life..............yes, it's a fad. They work it out for themselves. Laugh about it and move on with their lives.

For others, they are literally brainwashed by the lies and propaganda from the evil and corrupt doctors, drug companies, and fraudulent "medical professionals out there. And they learn the truth after the fact, then it's too late. Which is why there's a high suicide rate of kids that actually have the operations.

Then there's the sexual predators who do, say, and blend in with anything or anyone that they can, in order to get access to kids of all ages. They mess with the kids head to keep them confused and questioning, in order to keep control over their prey. Which has been the majority of whats been going on the past 4 years, because a pedo was installed into the White House illegally.

As long as they didn't drug themselves or have any surgery done people can come back from anything.

When I first moved here to east TN in the summer of 1996 after my 14th birthday, I only had my high school years left to do. Since I was in both a new state and new school, my plan was to have people call me by my middle name. It didn't stick though because I couldn't get used to it after going by my first name for so long.

God bless you always!!!

Sure, physically. Just change your clothes and hair back I guess. But you've spent how long with the name change and also probably chastising everyone about trans rights and deadnaming and now you're back to being Johnny or Sue?

Not so easy

Yes but this fad was not "I had big 80s hair" or "I was into flannel and grunge music". It was, "I told everyone I was a guy now and got mad when they deadnamed me. But oh yeah, now the name's not dead anymore".

It's not just clothes and hair--it's insisting that you've changed your biological sex even to your name.

I'd say it's more than a fad. It's a demonic agenda, imo.

Kinda surprised fellow conservatives are saying this is not hard to come back from. CAN kids come back, of course. But my middle school fad was wearing stick pins....."coming back" from that was just um, not wearing them.

This is not that. This is just not wearing the clothes anymore.

These kids insisted they were different PEOPLE.

Agreed, yes. Just thought about one of my middle school fads, which was wearing stick pins. And I really wanted Jordache jeans.

Not me saying hey, I'm a dude now, and don't use my given name as that's a "dead name". And changing my pronouns.

Just not the same.

I agree. What's interesting to me is how it became trendy....and how the public believed the lie, all due to social conditioning. It didn't even take that many years. To me that just goes to show that if one doesn't have a firm foundation, they're more susceptible to believing just about anything.

Now That Trans Isn't Cool.....​

Damn you, Sue. You mean it isn't cool to be trans anymore? And just when I was beginning to warm up to the idea. Not for myself, but for a few politicians I know who've deeply disappointed.

Just thinking about the number of former students I have who transitioned once they got to middle or high school. What now? How do you come back from THAT?

You don't. Like jumping out of a plane, once you go, you are committed.

It clearly was a cultural fad.. Yes, teens love fads,

In my teens, our fads were calling girls chicks, smoking a doobie, and wearing bell-bottoms, paisley, tie-dyed shirts and long hair.
Wish my parents could still be around to know just how lucky they were.

Previous to about 2019, I heard of exactly ONE student who was trans. Since then? So many.

Lessee, in:

1. Seven years of public school.
2. Two years of private school.
3. Six years of college.
4. 40 years in the workforce spread across three career fields.

I've met exactly two gay people (both actually pretty OK people) and zero trans people.

I actually have a good argument to talk teens out of going trans. I'd guess that as a teacher, if you were to try to talk a kid out of going trans, you'd be fired.

But might get an award for talking a kid INTO it.

The part that gets me most though is the part about sneaking it in behind the parent's backs.

Shhhh. Mum's the word.

 

[Eman623]

As long as they transitioned from man to woman they can always say it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind.

Come to think of it, if they started out as a woman, they could say the same thing.

Win-win!

 

[toobfreak]

What I want to know is this:

• If being trans is real and natural, then it would be a fairly random thing, spread pretty evenly between the sexes. But all I see are transwomen--- guys who convert to being a "girl" so they can get into ladies sports so they can get all the medals. But where are all the transmen?
• Where are all the women transitioning into being guys? There should be lots of ladies out there converting to maledom so they can play in the NHL and NFL. I want to see these ladies on the gridiron taking bone-crushing hits like the guys, carried out on stretchers mangled, contusions, unconscious, never to play again so that then there will be calls for players to "lighten up" on hitting the transmen, in effect admitting these are not real men.

Too busy to talk kids in or out of being trans, or whatever. But some kid said "gender bender" recently while we were playing a game, of all things. I ignored, but another kid asked, "What's gender?" I said, "You know, like a gender reveal party, where the parents find out if the baby is a boy or girl. Your gender is whether you're a boy or girl."

And that was what I said.

Your last part is on point, but if you ever saw kids going through their goth phase, as long as drugs and surgery aren't involved if someone can come back from that, they can come back from wearing flannel shirts and cutting their hair short.
