Kids need to be loved by their parents, not lied to by their teachers and politicians.

[annmallett]

he's definitely got to be speaking about the 80% that had gender disphoria, and not 80% of typical kids

[FHBStudio]

Like the age old song, "Hey teacher! Leave those kids alone!"

[ashiff]

100% true. I am an example of that. Around age 15..16 I saw my brother enjoying life, but as a girl I was supposed to stay home. I was loved, but different expectations from girl and boy, made me think I hate being a girl. I start feeling disgusted about everything me, hated girly cloths, hated makeup, I just wanted to experience freedom as my brother. Started thinking God definitely made a mistake. I definitely feel like a boy. I talked to mom, she laughed. No body took it seriously.
Soon I realized its not that I want to be a boy, I want freedom. Girl around me were quiet boring and in to boys, no excitement, and stuff🤣, so I couldn't relate to them.

Today I am mother of 3, happy and free.
Imagine if I had abusive parents and society telling me I am in wrong body. That would have been a disaster.

[Charlieonpawzzalt]

I literally just had a breakdown because of my gender, I do not think I will settle into my body

[iesroo]

When I developed gender dysphoria I didn't even know that transgender was a thing and no one talked to me about my gender I just developed it randomly

[doglover]

It is true that in young children gender dysphoria can go away, however, if it persists through puberty, it is most likely permanent. Gender dysphoria can develope during adulthood, too.

[nathanielmarshmallow]

I did not settle. I am 24 now, miserable and not taking action sooner has probably ruined my life forever

[SerasXHarkonnen]

This is the complete opposite of my experience, for me "settling" into my sex assigned at birth was living with severe depression, regular and persistent thoughts of suicide, and a couple attempts. I started HRT at 29 after trying to make a life of denial work and sure enough that depression got so very quiet almost immediately. It's easy to push this narrative but there are so many people with my experience and so many studies to support that experience.

[Cat-mvil]

It doesn’t go away. I’ve been isolated since 10 and raised by a Christian. I’m now 19.

The pain only gets so much worse. You feel like tearing off your skin to escape your body or just vomiting knowing of how absolutely imperfect you are compared to the “normal” people around you. You start hating yourself. You blame yourself for your own disgusting body. And you only spiral mentally from there.

But god forbid you show it. You can never tell the world how imperfect you are. You think about how others would see your parents for your existence. You get scared that your loved ones will be ostracized for you being born different. So you shove it down until you can leave the area.

Some days the mental anguish is so horrendous that you don’t want to wake up in the morning. Some weeks you go without showering because you can’t look at your own body in the mirror without thinking “Disgusting. Ugly. Imperfect.”

These people are the real danger for kids

[midnighttribute]

Sir, to be as respectful as possible, the numbers you cited are from a bad science study. They used a clinic to see who came in seeking gender assistance in younger teenage years and compared it to people at the age of 18. However, non-persisters were not only counted as those who were no longer seeking gender affirming treatment. Instead, they counted all who did not return to the clinic as non-persisters. This means that any number of reasons other than this issue not persisting could be at fault. Please research for better, more contemporary sources next time.

[nickwinwood]

I experienced gender dysphoria as a very young child, but due to media and social attitudes at the time I adopted the stance that transgerism was somehow bad or taboo and eventually I grew out of it. I lived my highschool life essentially as a young man with zero thoughts of transitioning, was sexually active and had plenty of friends. When I left high-school I became increasingly interested in philosophy to the point of achieving a relative state of enlightenment and was able to let go of many of my prejudices and became extremely health conscious and was working out regularly to the point where I became quite muscular. Strangely this sent me into a very deep spiral of depression which I had never experienced in my life, I thought I achieved everything. I ended up transitioning on my own with zero outside help or influence and along with my already good habits towards health and self motivated knowledge of hormonal treatments and human physiology I achieved really surprisingly good results in a short amount of time. I have met a few other self identifying trans people who are nowhere near the same level of self actualisation because of this toxic culture around trans and gender identity in the mainstream media. Honestly it's just as isolating being a rational trans person as it is being and honest clinician. I believe that LGBT culture while warding off some elements of homophobia and transphobia by force in the short term, actually does more harm to gay or trans people in the long term.

[honestlythetruth]

This is absolutely bull shit. You didn't mention the 60% that commit suicide.
Guess what, my dysphoria did not go away. I'm still struggling, I'm still depressed. I waited, and waited, I tried so hard to be a god woman but guess what it's still here, I still have the same feelings I did at 13-19 and I'm 27. Still didn't settle in. I tried. Some people don't make it that long. And one way to save them is to allow social exploration.

[isaiahthomas]

Exactly what I think. No kids should be have life altering surgery til they’re 21 and mature enough to decide that on their own

[justusbowman]

I know someone who is not comfortable in their own body. This person has trouble finding information on how to cope with their mental struggle due to nearly every resource immediately suggesting they're trans.

In reality, if given the choice, I think they'd choose to be more of their birth gender rather than less. Alas, it's not that simple to change biological structures.

[jacobhamilton]

Because by the time they’re 18 to 19, they’re so emotionally scarred by gender and what being trans could mean in terms of their relationships, that they settle for just coming out as gay or some other flavor of fruity. Give it a few more years. Now that they’ve left behind the judgement and neglect that comes with being trans in an unsupportive household they’re going to be trans all the same. They’re just gonna need some more therapy and go through more emotional pain. Don’t wait. Support your kids and let them explore

[PickledPixiePie]

Seriously, I think we need to start the "It's okay to be gay" thing back up.

[considerallthat]

Are you a biological male or female? What if you had to live life as the opposite sex, KNOWING that you were a male or female at birth? Trans people KNOW in their heart of hearts, they were assigned the wrong gender at birth (Gender is distinct from biological-sex, just as sex orientation is not always aligned with the ordinary expectations of biological sex)

There once was a punishment called "Petticoat Punishment" where misbehaving boys were dressed as girls. This is no longer done as it is considered too extreme of a punishment- for cis boys at least.

[blueberryboba]

Who tf are y’all talking about when y’all speak about spreading the “transgender agenda?” Are y’all talking about people talking about their experiences being trans or trans activists or something? Let me tell you something, no one ever chooses to be trans, it’s not a fun lil quirky thing to have just because you like dressing up in the opposite genders clothes or something. Yes, kids deserve a space where they can figure it out, but to just completely write it off seems stupid.
