Number of people identifying as transgender is dropping

[Moonglow]

Nice attempt to weasel surrender from people disguised as kindness.

Sorry, but if your self view of yourself is entirely dependent on every other person ignoring reality, I suggest you find another way to look at yourself.

I can't control what other people do; I can only control myself.

 

[martybegan]

I can't control what other people do, only myself.

And the trans movement demands everyone ignore reality.

 

[martybegan]

How many do you personally know? How does this personally affect you?

It impacts society, and the breaking point was going after other people's children with this bullshit.

How does a woman not being able to get an Abortion in Alabama affect you?

I treated a few during my work at 4 mental hospitals. They respond well to family psychotherapy and will accept their biological gender. Some even resolve on their own. The recent increase was caused by promoting it as normal. Now its dropping back to its previous level. Every case involves premorbid personality disorder.
Its socially contagious like anorexia

Untrue, yer hate and fear blind you.

My attachment to reality makes me see far more than you do.

Yer truth is severely lacking


There is no evidence that a specific "premorbid personality disorder" is a precursor to a transgender identity
. The scientific consensus, reflected in major psychiatric and health organizations, is that being transgender is not a mental illness or personality disorder. The distress some transgender and gender-diverse individuals experience, known as gender dysphoria, is distinct from a personality disorder.
Understanding transgender identity vs. personality disorders

• Transgender identity: Refers to a person's deeply held internal sense of gender, which differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
• Personality disorder: A mental health condition involving long-term, inflexible, and unhealthy patterns of thinking, functioning, and behaving. It is critical to distinguish between transgender identity and the symptoms of a mental health condition.

Psychological distress and the Minority Stress Model
Research does show a higher prevalence of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and some personality disorders, among transgender individuals compared to the cisgender population. However, these are not inherent to being transgender. A leading theory for this is the Minority Stress Model:

• External stressors: Transgender individuals face a high level of discrimination, harassment, and violence, which significantly impacts their mental well-being.
• Internalized stressors: The stigma from these negative experiences can lead to internalized transphobia and a heightened fear of rejection, which contributes to distress.
• Gender dysphoria: The distress and incongruence experienced when one's gender identity does not align with their assigned sex also contribute to mental health challenges.

Misdiagnosis and diagnostic bias
Historically, gender variance was pathologized and miscategorized by some clinicians. This has contributed to a history of diagnostic bias, particularly with conditions like Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

• Symptom overlap: Gender minority stress can cause symptoms that mimic personality disorder criteria, such as intense fear of abandonment, mood instability, and relational issues. Clinicians unfamiliar with trans-affirming care may misattribute these symptoms to a personality disorder.
• Impact of affirmation: The American Psychiatric Association notes that distress-related symptoms often decrease or disappear once a transgender person is in a supportive, gender-affirming environment. In contrast, personality disorders are typically pervasive and stable over a person's life.

Best practices in clinical evaluation
Mental health professionals must be aware of the difference between gender dysphoria and other mental health conditions.

• Contextual assessment: Symptoms that appear similar to a personality disorder should be assessed within the context of minority stress and gender dysphoria.
• Affirming care: Trans-affirmative mental healthcare practices assume that clients know their own experience and identity. A therapeutic relationship that is trusting and respectful, rather than based on gatekeeping, is crucial for an accurate and effective evaluation.

And yet about 40% of them have attempted suicide.

Because the premorbid mental illness is never addressed in fact its supported and enabled. After so called affirming care depression and suicide increase.

Same thing here.

Bill Maher has been saying that the left need to admit that the trans movement is partly due to social contagions. Monkey see, monkey do.

im not sure the "trans' movement is because of social contagion, but ive certainly felt that a lot of the people who identify as alter-gender might be. When you have unlimited genders and you have all these young people now identifying as non binary, or two spirit etc...I think some people do this because they feel its trendy..

 

[Independent thinker]

Now that the number of people identifying as transgender is dropping further proves its a socially contagious mental disorder. Without the advocacy, and government support the number starts to decline. They no longer get attention and benefits. They will be confronted by reality that gender is fixed at birth and cant be changed. This was sick ideology advocated by ignorance stupidity and the need to virtue signal compassion. All they did was harm children. Behind this sick movement was the progressive democrat party creating a new class of victims they could exploit.

Students identifying as nonbinary on the decline, new study reveals

A professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, Eric Kaufmann, pointed this out in a recent report.

nypost.com

New data suggests that fewer young adults are identifying as nonbinary, a term that refers to individuals who do not identify as male or female.

Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, released a report titled “The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans,” in which he suggests that the percentage of nonbinary Gen Zers in America has declined in recent years.

Kaufmann compiled student survey results from the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) and the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), as well as private college-prep school Andover Phillips Academy in Massachusetts and Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island.

Thank God the leftists trying to influence our young are failing.

It expands the ability of government to control our most personal property, ourselves.

This is fair.

This is fair.

And yet you want government/society to force other people to dismiss reality with regards to the trans thing.

You don't even see your own hypocrisy is saying "how does this affect you" to the trans bullshit but then worry about women getting abortions somewhere you don't live and will probably never visit.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Nope. I just want government to leave them alone and leave me alone.

 

[martybegan]

Nope. I just want government to leave them alone and leave me alone.

No, you don't, and don't pretend otherwise. You just want government to intervene when you want it to.

 

[Rawley]

Society now recognizes it as it is mental illness.

Correction, it is once again recognized as a mental illness.

 

[Rawley]

Nope. I just want government to leave them alone and leave me alone.

So, when your granddaughter gets kicked off the girls swim team to make room for a boy, you tell her to just suck it up and leave it alone?

 

[Zincwarrior]

No, you don't, and don't pretend otherwise. You just want government to intervene when you want it to.

Nope. Thats a MAGA and Democrat thing.

Fail. My daughter played against both men and women in high school. If a league is by Sex it should follow Title IX and you reflect your influence at the district and state level.
