New Trendy "liberal cool" for kids - " I want to be transgender, it’s the new black"

[Bigdog]

" ... A 2016 report in The New Atlantis Journal by former Chief of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University Dr. Paul McHugh and Arizona State University Professor of Statistics and Biostatistics Lawrence Mayer also objects to today's medical treatment of gender dysphoria, particularly in children. “Children are a special case when addressing transgender issues. Only a minority of children who experience cross-gender identification will continue to do so into adolescence or adulthood,” the report stated.

“There is little scientific evidence for the therapeutic value of interventions that delay puberty or modify the secondary sex characteristics of adolescents, although some children may have improved psychological well-being if they are encouraged and supported in their cross-gender identification," wrote the researchers. "There is no evidence that all children who express gender-atypical thoughts or behavior should be encouraged to become transgender."

The report argued that enabling acceptance of transgenderism through medical intervention is particularly harmful. “An area of particular concern involves medical interventions for gender-nonconforming youth. They are increasingly receiving therapies that affirm their felt genders, and even hormone treatments or surgical modifications at young ages,” the authors observed.

And according to a position statement released by the American College of Pediatricians last year entitled “Gender Ideology Harms Children,” any policies that foster the belief that gender dysphoria is anything beyond a psychological problem can be quite harmful.

The authors of that position statement made several scientific observations, including that human sexuality “is an objective biological binary trait." Children who use hormones to attempt to mimic a sex that is not their own have a number of dangerous physical and mental risks, the position statement advised, adding that “conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful” can be classified as child abuse.

Stathis says that cases of gender dysphoria may not always be about confusion in children either. In fact, he has encountered teens who opted for transgenderism because it has become trendy.

Stathis told the Courier Mail earlier this month, “One said to me, ‘Dr. Steve … I want to be transgender, it’s the new black."

Dr. Ken Zucker, head of the Gender Identity Service at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, Canada, has observed the same phenomenon. “The No. 1 factor is the Internet,” he said. “If you’re struggling to find out where you fit, the Internet is filled with things about gender dysphoria.”

“When we ask, ‘When did you first learn about this label of gender dysphoria’, they’ll say, ‘Me and Mom watched Oprah,’ ” adds Dr. Hayley Wood, a member of Zucker's team.

And it's not only trendy among teens but among parents as well. Alice Dreger, a bioethicist and professor at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, notes that parents who allow their children to change genders "are socially rewarded as wonderful and accepting," while those who don't are perceived as "unaccepting, lacking in affection and conservative."

This is particularly troublesome as a study by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, Canada found that transgenderism was more persistent in children when promoted by adults.

Sadly, these children are being set up for a difficult life, as the transgender community has an inordinately high rate of depression and suicide.

Unfortunately, despite the lack of science to support transgenderism as anything other than a mental disorder, social justice warriors will continue to forge ahead with their agenda to push transgenderism as a new norm, despite the harm it may do to children and adults alike."

Child abuse

Just collateral damage to a liberal agenda.

I have noticed that teabaggers tend to spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about, writing, about, and stressing about other people's sexuality --- other people they don't even know and whom will never meet.

That's a thing losers do, really when you think about it.

Those who support transgenderism and seek to help confused people do so with all the best intentions. It just that nothing comes without unintended consequences despite how well meaning the effort. In the quest for awareness, excess media exposure on the subject has likely made it seem trendy to impressionable minds. There are certainly people who have true gender issues and they are the people who need help and support. Perhaps doctors need to do more instead of relying on the society. The issue could be handled discreetly so as to avoid confusing impressionable minds through the awareness campaigns.

I knew some lefty socialist would come in here looking for a pat on the back from fellow liberals.

The lefty socialists are obsessed with a desire to sexualize children at a very young age. Thus the faux outrage.

Really ?....In fact, there is nothing to think about, sex is determined by science,.... biology, not by a person's delusions and mental disorder.

They're obsessed with kids period, because they can't convince adults to buy their bullshit.
