I agree on the kids part, but for different reasons. I don’t trust the parents. This could be their way of getting attention, almost a pseudo Munchausen’s. When the child is capable of making adult decisions the parents can support them then. I don’t think it matters how attractive the transition is, which is the sole reason parents seem to make about hormone blockers and such, the transition is more convincing and the child turns out more “attractive”.

If it is determined by a clinician and the parents that this is the care that is best for the health and safety of the kid… then I won’t stand in the way.
Suicide rates among trans teens is way higher than average… and if gender affirming care is what keeps the kid alive then who am I to say no to that to satisfy some personal belief of how things should be instead of how they are?

Lmao, haven’t heard that term in forever. Full disclosure, my son is Gay and has been with his partner for I think 10 years, so I have “a dog in this fight” so to speak.

And sometimes, it’s because their entire “community” violently and maliciously turns on them the moment they break from the pack to try and be decent towards an undesirable.

This Dude is a person in search of anything that will get him front and center, that will center all eyes on him. For now, that seems to be Trans. 30 years ago he would have been goth. 40 years ago he would have been grunge and 50 years ago this Dude was into Disco. Aimless humans who glom onto the most convincing story and make it their own so that people pay attention to them.
I agree with all of this. The fad this generation is to be as queer as possible. What was that ridiculous number of young people claiming to be some variant of LGBT? 20%? 30%?
I had no regrets of it being cool for white people to pretend to be black in the 90’s, but now I’m just flat out honored that I got to pretend to be black instead of pretending to be a peter puffer.

I saw FMJ while I was browsing for something to fall asleep to last night.

Best part of that movie and it was not scripted. He did that all on his own. Helps when he was an actual DI.

but it is due to the lack of control and lack of identity with their very being. They feel as if they are ghosts walking around in another body not their own.
This is rare, but this is real. And right now there is a circus full of attention seeking idiots clouding the issue on both sides of the aisle, making their lives even more miserable.
I was with you until here. You contradicted yourself. And this doesn’t address the fad element either.
If it is rare (but real), why are the rest of us required to accommodate for it?
I’m also not buying the ghost thing. If we agree that gender is a social construct, why is society required to adapt to the exception?
Being lqbtq is not a fad.
You guys I swear. You can tell who doesn’t have k-12 aged kids or who doesn’t work with the current generation.
Kids today definitely support lgbtq more than any of the prior generations. But they don’t become lqbtq, because it’s the cool thing to do. That’s absurd

Why do they?
Some just are
What?
Some kids are just gay/trans. It is who they are. It’s not a fad
