Why are fewer young people identifying as trans?

[Leo123]

its not hate, its concern for innocent kids who have been mislead for a great part. Moron adults who think a kid can identify their sexuality when they are 2 years old could probably also help them transition into a unicorn or a butterfly if thats what they thought they were.

This transgender garbage is an atrocity on our children. Everyone involved should be fired, have their medical licenses taken away and charged with child abuse.

Ahh, Christianity...can't you feel the love!

I think you probably answered your own question there shit brains. When you have the government actively trying to make life harder on persons who identify as LGTBQ, you are certainly going to have fewer persons self identify as LGTBQ. There aren't fewer persons who are LGTBQ mind you; they just are being shoved back into the closet by worthless sacks of shit like yourself.

Keep believing people you don't like will stop existing if you hate them hard enough.

Keep believing biology will change just because you shout ‘science’ loud enough.

 

[JGalt]

The trans craze was nothing more than a fad. A phony social construct being pushed onto children by the left. It's basically another form of child abuse.

It’s not just about kids. Being or feeling transgender is a mental illness, and it requires treatment. Biology doesn’t magically change just because we call it ‘science.’

In a panel discussion and book launch on The War on Science hosted by the Free Speech Union on Saturday in London, Richard Dawkins reminded his audience of the Lysenko saga in the Soviet Union. The famed British evolutionary biologist noted the parallel between today’s pseudoscience regarding gender and Soviet pseudoscience regarding plant genetics.


In the annals of scientific infamy, few episodes rival the Lysenko tale. Under the iron patronage of Joseph Stalin and later Nikita Khrushchev, the pernicious Soviet doctrine subordinated biology to Marxist-Leninist ideology. The charlatan agronomist Trofim Lysenko peddled the delusion that acquired traits could be inherited — a scientific fantasy dressed in proletarian garb. He promised bumper harvests through “vernalisation” of seeds and other quackery, rejecting the “bourgeois science” of Mendelian genetics as elitist sabotage.

The result? Purges of genuine scientists, like the tragic Nikolai Vavilov, who starved in a gulag for daring to defend empirical truth; famines that claimed millions of lives; and a generation of Soviet biology crippled by dogma. Lysenkoism wasn’t mere error; it was the weaponisation of science for political ends where dissent was treason and evidence was expendable.

Fast-forward to our own era, and the parallels are as chilling as they are uncanny. Over the past two decades, we have witnessed an ideological capture of science no less insidious, though cloaked in the virtuous robes of DEI, ‘climate justice’ and public health. In the realms of climate policy and COVID-19 response, institutions that were once bastions of rigorous inquiry — the United Nations, the European Union, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and peer-reviewed journals — have been co-opted by a progressive ideology.

Keep believing the facts will change if you ignore them.

The fact is... some people are transgender.

Sorry you don't get that.

The better question is, why do you even care?

Wow, so you really can't tell me why Gender Affirming Care is bad, so let's find something else that was bad and compare it to that!

 

[JoeB131]

If you want to talk about biology, how about all the scientific studies that have shown that transgender brains more closely resemble their identified gender than their birth gender?

Socially contagious mental illness refers to how behaviors, emotions, and even symptoms associated with mental disorders can spread through social networks, particularly among adolescents and through digital media. This "contagion" isn't a traditional infectious disease, but rather a process where exposure to certain behaviors, such as self-harm or eating disorders, can increase risk for others. Mechanisms include automatic mimicry, emotional contagion, and psychological factors like stress and peer influence.

How it works

• Emotional contagion:
  The tendency to "catch" the emotional states of those around you, whether positive or negative, such as feeling "discontent" from others.
  
  
• Automatic mimicry:
  Unconscious imitation of actions, such as gestures or tics, can happen through observation and the brain's mirror neuron system.
  
  
• Peer influence:
  Adolescents are particularly susceptible due to brain development and heightened sensitivity to peer influence, a tendency amplified by constant social media exposure.
  
  
• Social media:
  Platforms can act as a "superspreader" for certain behaviors by raising awareness, providing a space for constant exposure, and potentially encouraging self-diagnosis or the adoption of symptoms.
  
  
• Psychological factors:
  Stress, anxiety, and social isolation can create an environment where these social contagions are more likely to take hold.

Since the disorder is socially contagious which data now proves gender affirming care is abuse and malpractice. Only biological gender can be affirmed. Changing it isnt possible. Without the advocacy its dropping proving its socially contagious like eating disorders. Defining them as normal is an act of stupidity child abuse and enabling a mental illness.
Gender affirming care increase suicide and major depression according to valid Swedish meta study. Reality wins

You sound envious of their lifestyle because they are happy and you are not.

Telling them they are normal is an act of cruelty and child abuse. Now its dropping because they have to confront reality fact and science.

That's nice and all, but frankly, it sounds like bullshit.


We have eating disorders because we have a whole media structure pushing unrealistic body types, from the use of thin models to Barbie Dolls. That's why young girls - or some of them - think their bodies are wrong instead of just different.

Given that gender dysphoric people will face lifetimes of discrimination, I doubt there is any "peer pressure" to embrace that unless your brain is really wired that way.

That's not true, either. In fact, Gender Affirming care reduces suicide risk. That you have to go to "Sweden" to find a study that validates your position means you are ignoring numerous American studies proving quite the opposite.

What credible scientific studies demonstrate this? There is no identified gender .. you're either male or female, with a micro-minority of individuals having both physical characteristics.

It's a dying trend as studies (further up in this thread) have demonstrated, and many individuals who have chosen to wear the facade of the opposite sex will eventually have reality reassert itself.
