An Epidemic of Teenage G****r Confusion
We’ve all seen teenagers—especially girls—adopt new fashions en masse. Their friends are doing it, so they do too. It’s true of music, clothes, those ridiculous, furry Ugg boots… But lately, fashion-conscious teens are changing much more than their clothes.
The Economist recently reported a flood of adolescent girls seeking treatment for g****r dysphoria over the last eight years. In 2009, less than half—41 percent—of teens walking through the doors of g****r clinics in the U.K. were female. But by 2017, that number jumped to almost 70 percent.

Now, if g****r dysphoria—feeling yourself to be the opposite g****r from your biological sex—were actually something innate to the human condition as t***s activists claim, we’d expect these numbers to remain consistent and roughly balanced between boys and girls. But they’re not. According to Dr. Lisa Littman, who teaches behavioral and social sciences at Brown University, t*********r identity, like Ugg boots, has become a trend.
According to Littman, droves of adolescents, with no prior history of g****r confusion, are suddenly announcing they’re t*********r after “immersing themselves in niche websites,” or “after similar announcements from friends.”
Littman surveyed 256 parents of children who experienced what she terms “rapid-onset g****r dysphoria.” The results were astonishing: 87 percent of teenagers who suddenly came out as t*********r did so after spending a great deal more time than usual online or after “cluster outbreaks” of g****r dysphoria among their friends.
To put it simply, these kids wanted to t***sition because “everyone’s doing it.”
Littman describes v***l g****r confusion as a “social and peer contagion.” In some teenage circles, particularly among girls, it’s reaching epidemic proportions. In a third of the peer groups she researched, half or more of the individuals involved came out as t*********r. To put this in perspective, less than one percent of Americans aged 18-24 identify as t***s.
In fact, g****r-t***sition is not only fashionable, “Most children,” says the Economist, “who came out became more popular as a result.”
Littman believes adolescents are embracing the idea they are the opposite g****r as a coping mechanism for unrelated issues. And the numbers back this claim up. Almost two-thirds of those Littman studied had previously been diagnosed with other psychiatric or developmental disorders, and nearly half had experienced trauma or tried to harm themselves—all before expressing any g****r dysphoric feelings.
Unsurprisingly, Littman’s research has come under fire. T*********r activists are comparing her sources to—yes, wait for it—the KKK. This despite the fact that 88 percent of parents Littman surveyed believe that t*********r people deserve equal rights. Caving to pressure, Brown University removed the press release about her research from its website, claiming it requires “further expert assessment.”
Even so, the idea that teenagers are willing to try on t*********r identities like trendy shoes is well-supported. Study after study shows that the vast majority of g****r dysphoric minors will eventually change their minds and, if left alone, will not continue to identify as t*********r into adulthood.
But to a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And t*********r ideology today will gladly sacrifice a teen’s true health on the altar of life-altering decisions like hormone therapy and even g****r reassignment surgery.
We must support our own teens in understanding who they are. They must know that their identity lies not in the latest mixed-up g****r ideology or in keeping up with their friends’ fashion choices, but only in the God Who created us male and female.
Last week in California a law was passed where one's driver licenses have an X g****r so one can claim they are neither male or female!!!!!
Has the human spices come to the end of its development? Is it down hill from now on?

If we take the time to look at what our government run school system is doing we will find the answer. They, the left is using our schools to demasculinitinize our boys. So, ask yourself what kind of country
will we have with no or weak men?
