Those on the right understand that schools and social media have hurt the children of today. Not a whole lot of positives today when you compare things to an earlier time without social media and cell phones in general. Two of the casualties of democrats taking over the schools and staffing them with progressives is #1, the failure to educate. #2 is the rise of mental health issues and how the progressives have used those mental health issues to damage children when it comes to normalizing transgenderism.
Well, it turns out that statistics back up the damage that is happening to our children. As I have said before, its no surprise. The left has an idea of nirvana in their head and they don't care how many lives they have to ruin to get there. Even if it means exacerbating mental illness by encouraging children look toward transsexualism to solve all their problems.

Therapists sound alarm after study shows dramatic rise in gender dysphoria among childrenNew study out of the UK found a 50-fold increase in gender dysphoria diagnoses among children from 2011 to 2021
The study, published January 24 in the UK medical journal, The Archives of Disease in Childhood, found there was a 50-fold increase in recorded prevalence of gender dysphoria among patients aged 18 or younger in primary care settings in England between 2011 and 2021.
The study found incident rates for gender dysphoria rose sharply among female patients after 2015 and were "approximately twice as high" as in males by 2021.
Just over half, 53%, of patients also had a record of anxiety, depression and/or self harm.
They listed a greater acceptance and awareness of gender differences, increased social media use, and increased rates of poor mental health in this age group as possible factors.
Psychotherapist and author Jonathan Alpert told Fox News Digital that the dramatic upward trend of gender dysphoria among young people in recent years should raise "serious questions about the role of cultural and social influences."
"While increased awareness has made it easier for some children to express their struggles, we cannot ignore the possibility that social contagion, along with peer influence and social media—may be contributing to this surge," he said.
"Adolescents are naturally impressionable, and in today’s hyper-connected world, many are exposed to powerful messages that can shape their sense of identity, and consequently, how they feel and behave. What concerns me as a psychotherapist is the speed at which some young people move toward life-altering medical interventions without sufficient exploration of underlying psychological factors. We need to tap the brakes on this," Alpert continued.
Those with gender dysphoria are often suffering from other mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression, he pointed out, warning that rushing into medicalization to change one's sex may not address these underlying concerns.

Anecdotally, my nephew who is a freshman in college told me when he was in high school here the transgender thing became a “fad” for awhile when he was a frosh/soph and then kind of went away by his senior year.
Grunge, Punk, Goth- all harmless fads that go back to the beginning of high school in America.
Of course, none of these involved genital mutilation.
We grew our hair long. It could always be cut off
Later came tats - as long as they weren't on your face you could cover them
Cutting your dick off is a fucking commitment and there are no do overs
When I went to school fags didn't flaunt it. Why parade your mental illness in front of people who at the time didn't tolerate any of that shit.
Imagine that tearing down traditional gender roles and teaching that they are all made up anyway results in adolescents having gender role confusion. Real fucking mystery.
