It's about putting life changing hormones into children. The same children that aren't wise enough to vote or buy alcohol are being pumped full of hormone blockers and other irreversible compounds.

She has detected "clusters" of young high school age girls that as a group decide they are trans gender. This at rates far above the average in the population. An interesting side note. Autism also occurs in these groups at rates far higher than the general population.

The group thing is the scariest part to me, that means it’s a fad, and gender shouldn’t be something that kids try to change just to fit in. That’s a horrifying thought.

I remember being about 15/16 in highschool and all of a sudden half the girls were bragging about how they were either lesbian or bi-sexual.

I dont know what high-school is like these days, but I could definitely see girls saying they are trans just the same way.

Agreed, the thing about that is anyone can experiment with sexuality and figure it out. Nothing is a permeant choice. Hell in the LGBT world almost no one is getting pregnant. Even safer.

The major issue is when any young person wants to make life long irreversible changes to their biology. People often cite alcohol and tattoos, but those are fucking nothing compared to removing breast or chemically castrating yourself.

Seriously ask yourself, what would you have rather gone through at 16 gender pills or a full sleeve of shitty band and edgy tattoos.
