It’s a fad. Teachers look for it and nurture it and encourage the kid to go to a “counselor” who wants nothing more than another kid becoming “trans.”
It’s insanity. No one is transgender.
Try telling that to men with Complete Androgen Sensitivity Syndrome. They're basically women (the default setting for humans), because their cells have no testosterone receptors. They are some of the true transgender people out there. And nobody, it seems, has asked them whether they feel insulted by all this preferential clownishness.
Try look up intersexed people or XX men or people with Kleinfelder's (sp?) Syndrome (gene combos such as XXY, XXYY, XXXYY, etc.). I'll bet nobody's asked them about how they feel, either.
