One in Every 137 Teenagers Would Identify as Transgender, Report Says

Transgender is fiction; a denial of reality. Nobody is born in the wrong body. It’s impossible. I don’t care what they believe they are, they are what they were born.

Kids like to be shocking. I’m sure it’s cool these days to say you’re transgender. For the boys, it could be an opportunity to see naked girls in a locker room. The entire idea is absurd and disgusting.

Why do people still have their kids in government schools? Is the subsidized babysitting worth it? Government schools are dinosaurs still doing things the way there were done 100 years ago. Why are kids marched lockstep by age group for 12 or more years? It’s past time for education that benefits children as individuals.

Yet none identified as such when I was in high school. How could society change that much in less than 40 years?

Well, there may have been a few, Bruce Jenner was around. No one talked about such a thing back then. But surely it is another environmental issue like a lot of the brain disorders in epidemic states today. Clearly we take our neurology and that of our newborn kids completely for granted in 2017.

Yeah, and one in three smoke pot and are communists .. so?

You either got the “Y” or you don’t got the “Y”. You can identify as an amoeba if you want, but that doesn’t make you one. Unless you’re a democrat - then you have a demonstrable intelligence level similar to the amoeba.

Nearly 150,000 American teenagers from 13 to 17 years old — or one out of every 137 — would identify as Martians if given enough dope.

What if.... it was the Ritalin?

I’m 67 years old, when I was 15 I probably would have tried it.
Getting into the girls locker room was the dream of every MALE young MAN when I was a kid.

My mom graduated from HS in 1942 so just a little behind your mom. However, this class included one male who was definitely off-kilter and you could see it in his class photo. He was obviously using make-up, including mascara and eye-liner. I don’t suppose it would surprise you to find out he died of AIDS in the 80s. And this HS was in small-town Kansas so it wasn’t like a large metro mish-mash.

All of the above to say weird transcends the ages and our suppositions about what did/didn’t happen/exist.

Triple BS - just watched a PBS special on the Story of Life - 1 in 30,000 question gender - 1 in 100,000 could/might be -

[longhorn too]

BS!

“”If they do, it’s because they’re being told non-stop how heroic it is.”

You get the cookie!

Awkward kid who doesn’t fit in suddenly finds an avenue to be “cool”.

One in every 137 kids has mental illness.

Fake News=Bullcrapola. If there were that many, we would be up to our A$$es in QUEERS. One in 1,370,000 would even surprise me. It is the way of this debased, evil group to come up with a ridiculous figure like that to continue to cram the QUEER agenda down our throats or up our A$$ES.

PS STOP USING “GENDER” WHEN THE CORRECT WORD IS “SEX!”

Gender has a use in language. The only reason it has been substituted is to keep the snowflakes from understanding the issue; that a few mental morons have been talked into thinking that they are something other than what they really are. If you have male organs you are a male. If you have female organs, you are a female.

[BatGuano]

Stop drinking mama, your slip is showing. What the hell are you trying to say?

[9YearLurker]

So are we supposed to chop up and drug 1% of our kids and pretend they are of the opposite sex?

[Wpin]

If true that is a measure of how perverse the left has tainted our youth

[hoosiermama]

You try typing on a cell

[Chode]

yeah, right...

[Impy]

I just watched the “All in the Family” backdoor pilot for “Maude”, it wasn’t very good.

[Jack Hammer]

This is, of course, utter bullsh*t.

Pure fabrication.
