Keep in mind that this is a self-identifying list of brainwashed people in an age when it's "cool" to be "transgender."

Take 99.999% of this number and you get the number of people who follow the latest trend even if it includes jumping off a bridge.

The fake narrative used to be that there were biological markers to diagnose "transgenderism," like female "brain waves" or hormonal abnormalities.

Now, the patient self-diagnoses their condition.

I believe two of my liberal friends have told me they have children or grandchildren who are transgender. I’ve always assumed that’s because it was fashionable and brought them attention. We don’t discuss the matter.

I would say if he base those numbers on what the media would like us to believe literally I think 85 to 88% of our population is that…

Ask your liberal friends if their “trans” children have had endocrine or genetics testing done, or had their brain waves diagnosed. I’ll bet there were absolutely NO medical tests done.

This is amazingly similar to the percentage of people who used to be warehoused in insane asylums.

I am sure this is a coincidence.

Lol.

In rural Virginia I’ll bet it’s less that 0.5%. In suburban Boston and Silicon Valley I’ll bet it’s around 40%.

I recommend fentanyl or euthanasia as a cure.

It's a fad. A very dangerous fad with lifelong damage but a fad nonetheless.

Of course no tests. That’s why they’re liberals. And I don’t ask them anything, which is why we stay friends. Just because someone is delusional doesn’t mean they’re not also loving and caring and the repository of decades of shared memories. They don’t tell me their opinions of Trump and I don’t tell them my opinions of their illogical positions. But if I was in trouble, I trust them to be there - differences or not.

The question is, what mechanism causes one to give up their reproductive capacity and pick up their Darwin Award?

This article explores the trans aberration:

Yeah, I had to look it up.

In 1960 about 1.5% of the population was institutionalized in psychiatric hospitals.

Pretty close.

In today’s numbers that would be about 5 million people. If each hospital could hold 1000 patients, that would be 5,000 psychiatric hospitals. Currently we have about 820.

Additionally we have:

Outpatient Facilities 8,270
Residential Facilities 1,611
Hospital Inpatient 1,184
Total 12,012

That’s about where I am on it. Some loveable, trustworthy people really have poor judgment on a thing or two. I don’t engage on these things. I would have no idea where to start. I can pray for them.
