All scientific evidence indicates that gender identity disorders result principally from cultural causes and moreover, modern society is facilitating them, according to an analysis published Friday. Writing for the Catholic World Report, Anne Hendershott chronicles an exploding transgender industry illustrated by a massive surge in the number of referrals for gender-identity treatment, in some cases increasing by as much as 2800 percent in less than ten years.
Western societies such as the UK, Sweden, Australia, and the USA have seen a spectacular rise in the number of persons, especially young people, seeking treatment for gender identity issues, paralleling the attention given to gender theory in communications, medicine, and the entertainment media.
In the U.S., the percentage of adults who currently identify as transgender is double what is was in 2011, according to the best estimates.

Disagree with the science part of this.
There is definitely evidence that more toddlers and preschoolers* are showing up with gender and identity differences than before. Tied to that fact is also the epidemic of both early and late in life neurological disorders like autism and Alzheimers to name only two, and an epidemic proportion of premature ovarian failure, female infertility, occurring far earlier than in the mid 20th century. There are higher numbers of genital birth defects like hypospadias. All of these point to environmental polluters causing significant soft tissue damage in modern human development. At least the questions remain.
Thereafter, especially for older people, our current trend toward creating the transgender cottage industry is PERFECTLY described in this article. But the children having more gender dysphoria symptoms is a real problem.
* children too young to be affected by social pressures or society re plaything preference
The teenagers and 20 somethings who are lost think this is the new cool thing to be. "Love anyone, be whomever you choose." Just more societal rot pushed by the Marxists.

Prominent M.D.: 'Gender confusion' a fleeting mental disorder
The gay mafia also pushing this as the next civil rights issue. We need to get back to strong Christian families that teach the word, ethics and morality.
The one positive thing with all of this is, "When children who reported transgender feelings were tracked without medical or surgical treatment at both Vanderbilt University and London's Portman Clinic, 70 percent to 80 percent of them spontaneously lost those feelings," Dr.McHugh shared.
If you know a kid who is expressing gender confusion, refer him/her to a competent psychiatrist, not someone who 'helps' them transition.
“All the cool kids are doing it.”
Figgered that out did they?
I coulda told them that years ago.
I’m surprised there is not a huge surge in transgenders in the ME.
The only thing more difficult and painful than getting rid of an unwanted tattoo is regrowing a penis.
It’s late, so I’m saving this on Favorites to read tomorrow. The explosion of this gay/transgender crap in recent years MUST have an explanation. Throughout my K-12 years, I didn’t know anyone who was obviously “gay,” but now it seems that half of the millennial generation are sexual deviants.
Wonder if birth control pills are the culprit?
It is the media and the leftists co-signing mental illness
It’s almost become a fad.
It’s satanic. They are trying to destroy children and criminalize Christianity.
That video is now blocked.
How can this be the issue that it is when the homosexuality population is supposed to be only around 3% and the transgender population is even smaller? I have decided that everywhere I look in media, movies and popular culture, I see gay people at the top and let’s do not forget tech moguls who are out of the closet. We suspect that the Ivy Leagues are quite a friendly place for different gender preferences. Also, we have no real idea about the percentage of our government leaders who are homosexual or transgender, because marriage can be a cover. Bottom line, the men/women at the top of the communications narratives control the impressions and the conversations. What we see may not be an accurate picture of our society, over all. At some point, we will know the truth. I just hope that will happen in time to save our culture.
Well argued, FRiend.
Makes me wistful for bulimia. What ever happened to swallowing goldfish?
Not sure I agree with you about the toddlers playing with toys we normally.consider as for the opposite sex. If they are “too young to be affected by social pressure,” then they will just be attracted to toys—boys are not naturally attracted to blue and girls to pink, after all—and while they may be too young... there are also their parents, who may be consciously or subconsciously affecting their preferences.
However, one aspect of pollution and damage to species other than our own which has not been picked up by the Greens is that of pollution of our water supplies by hormones, caused by our use of the Pill. It would be interesting to see if there is any correlation between what’s in the water and rate of deviation in homosexuality and transgenderism.
