Dana on The Five said a class had a majority of kids identifying as transgender. 86% identified as non-binary. BS. They want to belong to the popular group.
There are only a few conditions that disrupt the endocrine system to such a degree that it skews the hormone balance in the brain and can effect sexual development in the body.
They are congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, Klinefelters Syndrome (XXY chromosomes), Turners Syndrome (X or X/partial X), and Klaymans.
These conditions are very rare. The number of individuals who present with gender dysphoria are a small subset of these. The ones who remain dysphoric after puberty ends (between the ages of 22 to 24) is smaller still.
In the past, there was a reason why trans individuals were not under every rock and around every corner; because the number of people who genuinely suffer from this condition is tiny, indeed. Further, most trans individuals try desperately to “pass,” not wanting to be “outed.”
Then along came the radical movement that forced voices of reason and experience out of their positions of authority (including lawfare and bogus claims against them) so they could change the rules.
Next, every freakshow wannabe got tossed on the trans bus. Drag queens? Not trans. Cross dressers? Not trans. Criminal gets arrested and is suddenly trans? Not trans. Failing athletes suddenly want to be the other sex? Not trans. The media likes to toss them on the bus, but they don’t belong there.
If they do not have one of the underlying medical conditions noted above, they are not trans...they are fakers or need mental help.
So what about the people who are trans, some ask, don’t they need help too? Yes. Boys with Klinefelters need testosterone, not affirmation. Girls with Turners need estrogen, not affirmation. CAH and NCCAH can be treated with puberty blockers to mitigate the impact of an overactive endocrine system (one of the few legitimate uses for puberty blockers). But since NCCAH typically manifests during puberty and can be masked as other conditions, the possibility exists that the neural pathways become programmed to recognize free floating adrenal androgens as testosterone or estrogen and program converse sexual development accordingly. It is a messed up life sentence.
