Why are there so many babies being born transgender or is it that they just don't like being a boy or girl and want to switch genders? Which is it?

Is a transgender born with a birth defect that physically causes them to be transgender? I am an older woman, and can honestly say that I never heard of kids that are transgender until recently. It makes me wonder if this is just a new fad - and won't be such a big deal in years to come. We probably won't even hear about it someday. If it is a physical birth defect then why don't we ever hear about it from medical professionals? Like, transgender babies are growing at a high rate in the past 20 years or so? A lot of questions are raised about if it's a real physical condition caused by a birth defect. It makes people wonder what's really up with them.

An estimated 0.005 to 0.014% of birth-sex males and 0.002 to 0.003% birth-sex females meet diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria, as stated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition.

There has not been an epidemic of genuine gender dysphoria.

Over the past several years, impressionable children have been taught in school from a very, very young age to question their gender. Those kids have no idea about gender or sexuality. But their "grooming" has resulted in an epidemic of kids who never displayed any signs of gender dysphoria to suddenly question their genders when they reach puberty, a time when a lot of kids, especially girls, feel uncomfortable in their bodies.
It has become cool among school kids to be transgender. The educational system, Democrats and "woke"-type liberals have encouraged it and media, entertainment, the fashion industry, and the medical profession has endorsed it as normal.
It's a huge growth industry for the pharma and medical establishments.

It's virtually illegal to question a kid who suddenly claims to be transgender. So kids are being permanently damaged by drugs and medical procedures instead of simply waiting for them to grow up a bit, or seeking counseling to see if they have genuine gender dysphoria.

I oppose allowing anyone who isn't at least 18 being allowed to undergo any procedures or drug treatments. Once they are adults, they can decide for themselves.

It's primarily a social disease; an ideological contagion that turned the "free to be you and me" ideals of tolerating differences between people into a postmodern nightmare. Lost and lonely children seeking approval and status are told that discomfort with social roles aren't a result of overly reductionist thinking, or a natural part of border-testing as they move through the minefield of adolescence, but a sign that something is fundamentally wrong with *them*. "You were born an X, so you must havk thk traits of an X".

Now, there's little real harm in wanting to be referred to with different pronouns or even wearing the other sex's clothes, but major surgeries with life-long consequences are a different matter. This is the kind of thing that really, REALLY calls for a long and sober discussion with a therapist, but all too many young people put their faith in Dr. Social Media, who tells them that transitioning is the key to feeling amazing and solving all their problems.

A 42% suicide rate and the advocates STILL scceam bloody murder if you dare question their dogmas. A century from now, they'll look back on us like we look at the eugenicists.

[OlderAndWiser]

Why do you think they are born with such proclivities?

[ohshee]

This is what I believe I have watched this for the last past 20 years or so I have many friends that have kids
And what I have noticed is in our teens early teens when are hormones are going crazy
And these kids have nobody to talk to about it their parents don't talk to them about it but what I have noticed from people that I knew 20 years ago people that I know today with their kids is that when they are going through this in chemical imbalance they have nobody else to talk to except for their friends they start questioning everything because they feel their whole body just turning inside out they start thinking maybe they are transgender one of my best friend's is a girl and I remember her when she was a senior in high school she's 20 years younger than me but when she was a senior in high school she said she was a lesbian now that only happened or she only thought that way for about a year now she has a daughter that is now 16 17 and she thought that she was a male in a woman's body and she's in that moment of chemical imbalance where her hormones are going crazy she just broke up with her boyfriend and she's hanging out with a girlfriend and now she thinks that she might be lesbian I say give it 6 months and with the right communication and letting her know what her body is actually doing but her body is going through it's not going to transformation of anything it's a chemical up swing down swing in balance and she will get through this too there are kids that don't get that opportunity to go through this to get through they don't understand their bodies doing and if they find a friend that is thinking just like them the kind of book talk each other into things

Some people are going to read this letter in the transgender world and they're going to say no you're full of shit we were born this way born that way I don't really give a fuck I don't even care that's not what I'm trying to say I'm trying to say with kids nowadays with kids 20 years ago when your body goes to this change if they don't have anybody to talk to if you don't have a parent they can see that can fill can hear with their kids going through then they're going to be more of a follower than a leader and become whatever whoever not because that's who they are is because they are followers

Look at the intake of food that kids are eating now a days and how much good food there actually eating versus junk food versus sugar Waters versus no Foundation at home they're lost and parents need to understand they need to fucking Step Up start being a real parent and quit making their life all about them but you have kids you lose your life you make your kid's life become better than your life that's what having kids are all about anyway it starts at the home whatever it is it starts with an unselfish parent and it starts with if your kid believes in something you either allow them to believe in it because you support them or if you see something different you allow it just to happen they will grow out of it if there's all different kind of ways to handle it in a positive way the first way is to communicate and quit being selfish with your life make it all about your kids instead of yourself

It’s not the kids themselves. They’re being influenced by abusive authoritative figures. Try to find some detrans forums that haven’t been censored. Many of these kids have been ruined for life because they were only exposed to “positive” encouragement to transition when they were really just insecure, gay, lesbian or tomboyish/feminine boys. Over the next decade we are going to experience a severe shock to our mental health system as some of these people realize they were sold a lie and don’t know what to do.

It is all this liberal CRT brainwashing in the public schools. It is unimaginable that anyone would approve of teaching 5 year olds about this crap. They should be learning math and science instead. No wonder the US comes in last of all industrialized nations in educating our youth.

[UCrayCray]

I thought Critical Race theory was about race. 🤔

[exitseven]

@UCrayCray It is all about dividing us into little special groups. Black, Transgender, Asian, and dozens of other groups that politicians pander to to get votes.

[UCrayCray]

Okay. I can’t argue against politicians and their pandering.
But what’s being described here is not CRT.

[exitseven]

@UCrayCray not strictly. maybe I should have said liberal influence on public school curriculum. It was a lot of stuff to type thought.

[UCrayCray]

I had to clarify because most people who are against CRT don’t actually know what it is.

[4eyes2mouths]

I think it's more about feeling comfortable in your own skin and now that it's being more recognized as an acceptable third option, more people are interested in speaking up about wanting it.

[Asker]

@4eyes2mouths so it's a choice. Are they born with one set of sex organs or two?

[4eyes2mouths]

You're born either a male or female and you transition into the other sex through hormone medication and/or surgery. It's a choice.

[4eyes2mouths]

One set.

[ArtemisSilver]

It's mostly social conditioning, but the incidence of indeterminate biosex is also on the rise due to chemical pollution.

It's also increased due to hormone and endocrine disruptions from plastic exposure.

We're living in a toxic soup with a bunch of left wing activists.

[Juxtapose]

It's mostly little kids being indoctrinated by their parents and frankly? I think trans people don't even have a problem with their gender, I think they just hate themselves and they often commit suicide once they realize changing their gender doesn't do anything to change their self hatred.

[andreasderjuengere]

The 21st century later will be seen as a time of... ''disorientation''.
Babies aren't born ''transgender'' - some just grow up in a deteriorating ''culture''; and that's why they get confused. This is fueled by hyper-intelligent non-intelligent's who are confused themselves.

[joeldalton]

Ther aren’t any babies born transgender. Just evil parents coercing them into a deviant lifestyle.

[CaptainSmartass]

It's the leftists who are telling kids they're transsexuals.

Simples...

[jshm2]

Neither.

Just too many shitbag sociologists and psychologists following quack and pseudoscience.

[JesseJayNeak]

They’re not born transgender. They became transgender

[Anonymous]

They aren't there parents or adult is telling them they are opposite gender.

They are mentally ill people trying to grow their numbers through indoctrination. Simple as that.

School media and at home

[IsoUser]

I don't even understand or know how to even answer that question.

[SmokinAces2000]

There’s not “so many” it’s just more people feel comfortable coming out now than 20 years ago

[MrSmithee]

propaganda and attention

[TrueConfection]

Transtrenderism.

[Anonymous]

That’s not possible, period.
