Believe data, not activists: Transgenderism among kids is mostly a fad
Researchers at the Netherlands’ University of Groningen recently released the results of a landmark 15-year study of 2,700 children starting at age 11.

As every rational person figured out a few years ago, the exploding transgender phenomenon is more a matter of neurotic young and teen girls trying to find a way to draw attention to themselves than a long-hidden fact of life that has finally come to the surface. Of course there are boys and men involved as well, but as with homosexuality vs lesbianism, it is a whole different phenomenon for males.
As you look at the headline from the article, ponder whether the word, "mostly" should be removed for the sake of accuracy. In short, "It's a fad." Period.
People of Good Will recognize that it is not a harmless fad. The young people who undergo pharmaceutical and surgical treatments to patronize their delusions (a) will never have a child, (b) will never (again) have an orgasm, and (c) will never have an intimate sexual relationship, for which orgasm is an intrinsic part.
The solution, I am sad to say, is a two-fold LEGAL one. First, State legislatures must criminalize taking these steps on minors, even with the consent of the parents, and second, tort law must facilitate lawsuits against both parents and practitioners who perform these "affirming" treatments, awarding money damages to adults whose lives have been severely compromised by adults' willingness to patronize their obviously-neurotic childhood delusions. Then, when malpractice insurers start to get beat down with the lawsuits, they will demand that their clients stop doing it.
