A lot of fads get corporate push, but this one is worth billions in shareholder value so it's getting more than the usual push.

The best weapon we have against it is the truth. A few truths:

1) there is no "trans teen suicide surge." The suicides are kids who are already deeply mentally ill, many of them taking handfuls of medications several times a day, and if you match them with a similarly diagnosed group who haven't been been pulled into "trans," the depression and suicide rates are the same.

"Trans" is not a factor.

2) Actual Gender Identity Disorder occurs in one in 30,000 boys, one in 100,000 girls, appearing between the ages of 4-6 typically. This new "gender dysphoria" thing appears shortly after getting on TikTok or running into a gang of friends who are all "in transition" and talking about nothing else .... a decade later in life.

In other words, while GID is real and rare, "trans" is fake and a thousand times (!) as prevalent.

3) GID is lifelong; "trans" is usually outgrown after a few years. But given the rush to hormones and surgery, for many the irreversible damage has already been done

I went to an information evening at my daughter’s high school (in NZ) recently where they quoted stats about how much the teen suicide rate has increased since 2008 (when Facebook / social media commenced) it was pretty shocking - I can’t recall exactly the figures but I believe it was a 30% increase at a minimum in successful attempts :( which is huge.

This is horrible! I really have no words to describe how sad, hurt, and angry I am about the loss of all these beautiful, young lives!

To think, this gender madness has a role to play. If we could treat the underlying mental health issues, but, no. We have to try and fit a square peg into a round hole. And it doesn't matter what corners need to be cut off to make it fit!

I think that the longer they live this lie the harder it is for them to get out of it. And if they have taken hormones and destroyed their bodies in any way it's even harder. They don't have an out. I wish we could give them an easy out, but, after all that they have done to themselves, I don't know how. An easy way out probably doesn't even exist after years of living as the wrong sex.

Well, it was a big deal in the 80s before social media existed, too.

This document from CDC (who I hardly trust but on suicide they could be accurate) shows suicides rates in adolescents and young adults from 2000-2018.

Here is 2007-2021:

The rates are horrific.
