I just watched the video. The kid seems quite confident he’s a girl and has been thinking this for a while. How this started who knows....but they’re acting like it’s a party. What a mess. I wonder if in a way they think they’re the Kardashians and the reality show got to them. He had a bye bye penis party. People are so narcissistic now.
I don’t know...the gays I’ve known usually say they’ve always known...and I suppose it’s like me always knowing I liked the opposite sex.
I'm betting that the gays that you know are older? And I think that is probably the case - they have known from a very young age. I think that there are also a very small minority of people that have been gender confused from a very young age. Although - how much of that is because of the odd-ball mother dressing her son in a dress because she always wanted a girl?
There has been a HUGE increase in the number of transgenders in the last ten years. For males-to-females it is up something like 300%. For females-to-males it is up to 4,500%! (Yes - four thousand, five hundred).
If it was just the shows and the changed social attitude that it is okay to be transgender, numbers would increase some - but not with such a drastic difference. Girls are more susceptible to social influences - such as cutting, anorexia, etc. Many believe the transgender thing is similar. (Cutting, anorexia and transgender all have to do with body image). It is also more prominent among middle to upper class white girls.
Also, many of these kids were fine, but then changed quickly. Look up rapid onset gender dysphoria. Lots of the girls have pre-existing mental issues such as Aspergers, depression, anxiety, OCD, etc.
These kids never used to have gender dysphoria. But with the media and news, some might question it. Then they type in “am I transgender” into the internet.
“When you first got your breasts did they make you uncomfortable?”
“Does having your monthly period make you feel funny and embarrassed?”
“Did you like running around with your shirt off as a child?”
“Did you always have more fun playing rough games with the boys at recess?”
“Do you like wearing pants and a t-shirt or sweat-shirt instead of a dress or nice blouse?”
All of that type of stuff is pushed as “evidence” that you aren't really a girl, but a boy. In spite of having crushes on boys when younger, dating boys, used to love dressing up for homecoming, etc.
