They have been pushing hormones on children.No-one is surgically changing children's genders. That's just not happening.
Maybe a few late teens in some rare cases have had gender reassignment surgery but that is not the norm. And personally I agree it could be moved to 18 years of age.
Hormone treatment for teens I support. If they decide later that they no longer want to go down that path, they can stop.
But I don't agree that it's a mental illness. Statistically it is very rare that someone who has had gender reassignment surgery actually changes their mind. And if they do change their mind, that's on them to live with. Alot of people make decisions about their own lives they have to live with. But it's their life, not mines.
A recent study estimated that nearly 1.6 million people ages 13+ identified as transgender in the U.S. and denoted a generational shift because rates of transgenderism in children are growing at a much faster rate than in adults (Herman, Flores, & O’Neil, 2022). In fact, now nearly 20% of people who identify as transgender are aged 13–17, meaning around 300,000 children are now identifying as transgender (Herman, Flores, & O’Neil, 2022). For added perspective, one must consider that nearly 20% of all people who identify as transgender in the U.S. are children 13–17, yet that age range only makes up 8% of the U.S. population (Herman, Flores, & O’Neil, 2022). Additionally, the number of children known to be on puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones in the U.S. more than doubled in just four years—from 2,394 in 2017 to 5,063 in 2021 (Do No Harm, 2023a; Terhune, Respaut, & Conlin, 2022). Furthermore, one study found that more than 120,000 children in the U.S. were diagnosed with gender dysphoria during the same four-year period (Respaut & Terhune, 2022). Experts and researchers in the field are concerned with rates in a specific sub-group—adolescent girls—and have called for a greater understanding of “rapid onset gender dysphoria” as a distinct clinical phenomenon (Sinai, 2022).
Gender Transition Medications and Surgeries for Children in the U.S.
Rates of transgenderism in children have rapidly increased in recent years in the U.S., which has sparked discussions between parents, schools, policymakers, and medical professionals alike over how to discuss and treat the issue.americafirstpolicy.com
You guys are so intent on supporting deviancy, that you will not actually do any research to see if what people are talking about is true. You rush to act like you are being a good human being, while supporting absolutely evil ideologies. Do some real research on issues before you rush to support a side.
