Let's see... less than .1% of all children identify as the opposite gender. However, that number is increasing due to body dysmorphia and a societal acceptance of trans causes. FYI, this tends to affect women at a much higher rate, probably because they are going through actual bodily changes that distinguish them from their male counterparts for the first time. Instead of helping these people become comfortable in their own skin, you are advocating we halt puberty without knowing the side effects so that they can decide their gender when they turn 18. This is, of course, after they finish high school in the body of a 12-year-old. It also doesn't help with the problem they are having.

Can you not see how ridiculous that is? You know you would not have advocated for this position 10 years ago. However, because you are gullible and want to see yourself enlightened, you take a position that has TREMENDOUS social, emotional, and physical implications on the off chance it helps those few children who are suffering from body dysmorphia without any evidence this will help them in the long run. Studies show transitioning doesn't help the suicide rate in the trans community, nor does acceptance. Numbers show this problem is getting worse. We don't need young women becoming men at a MUCH higher rate than ever before. Not only that, but data also suggest that body dysmorphia is temporary and also goes back, even after surgery. There are so many assumptions in your position. Instead of questioning how you have arrived at this idiotic conclusion, you double down.

Let's be clear about what we're talking about here. Drag is when a man who knows he's a man likes to dress up in women's clothing as an activity. This is abnormal, but relatively harmless. We don't see any spikes in suicides or functionality. These people also tend to identify as their own gender. Trans is when one gender thinks they are a different gender. This is an entire lifestyle change, and this group experiences much higher than normal suicide rates. Men tend to enjoy drag and women tend to be trans. You also have a whole slew of younger people picking up on this fad as a sign of their "wokeness." This is a group that is truly picking it up as a cultural change (which is the progressive influence of this phenomenon). Associated within this group is the call for systemic change. Go figure. Tear down cultural hegemony and replace it with something new. This is also dangerous to our society, again, by design. I don't even think guys like Mikey take time to differentiated between these groups and see all the damage the comes from reacting to moral relativism in the name of kindness. You're a sucker, dude.
