What’s Driving Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria
The Daily Signal ^ | February 4, 2019 | Tony Perkins

Posted on 02/04/2019 8:23:19 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Parents used to worry about “peer pressure” encouraging their kids to experiment with alcohol or drugs, or to have sex. Now, they have to worry that it may encourage their kids (especially daughters) to change sex altogether.

If you are a parent of a child or teenager, you owe it to yourself to read World magazine’s latest cover story, which addresses the relatively new but expanding phenomenon of “rapid-onset gender dysphoria,” abbreviated “ROGD.”

Advocates for the LGBT movement have long argued that you can diagnose “gender dysphoria” in children who are “consistent, insistent, and persistent” in expressing a discomfort with their birth sex from an early age. Just like we are (wrongly) told about people who identify as homosexual, people who identify as transgender are born that way, we’ve been assured.

Now, however, social trends are evolving so rapidly that even the pseudoscientists of the sexual revolution are having a hard time keeping up. Children (especially girls) who have successfully navigated childhood without a hint of gender confusion are suddenly, shortly after hitting puberty, declaring that they are the opposite sex (or “genderqueer,” or “agender,” or one of dozens of other “gender identities”).

“What’s going on?” parents ask. “Is this a biological issue?” If it were, we wouldn’t expect such declarations to suddenly emerge from half a dozen girls in one friend group at the same time. And we wouldn’t expect them to use almost the exact same language in making such declarations.

group think, indoctrination... having raised my kids through this period of time I can tell you that there’s entire web communities where these kids sit around and self-diagnose... their identity is tied up in dysfunction and reinforced by Google’s search results...

When I was a kid, the fads involved things like yo-yo’s, Clackers, and jeans with embroidery.
Now it’s hormone shots and contemplating when to whack off body parts.

exactly - the normalization / celebration of dysfunction is mind boggling and repugnant.

Epidemic hysteria. Brought on by crazy leftists brainwashing the kids for years.

I have known 2 girls that did this, both were raised by crazy feminazi women and brainwashed all their lives. When they hit high school they start normally with a crush on the cool boys...after they get their normal puppy love heart broken a couple times they decide they don’t like men and become convinced they are either lesbian or wrong gender. And when it happened it was happening with others in their circle of friends.

I am around country kids, never heard of even one doing this. I am sure it has happened but rare for sure. They are still raised with reality- they work hard, they know life is not easy. They deal with animals all the time and understand loss and heartbreak, and joy of course. When their first romance in high school goes south they brood a day or two and go on with their lives. Exactly like we all used to do before half the country became mentally ill.

Media coordinates all this.

They work it in to tv and movies. Newspapers and magazines. All coordinated message to push whatever perversion they want to normalize.
Then libs control the educational system. Indoctrinate the kids there. Even worse by the time they get to college.
