CDC: Almost Two Percent of Youth Are “Transgender,” 35 Percent of Whom Have Attempted Suicide
The New American ^ | 28 January 2019 | Warren Mass

A study released last week by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that just under two percent of high school students said they were “transgender,” meaning their sense of gender identity did not align with their sex at birth The report is the first released by the CDC that asked transgender-related questions among a large number of students, Reuters cited unidentified experts.

Thirty-five percent of the transgender students said they had attempted suicide in the previous year, compared with about seven percent of those who did not see themselves as transgender, the CDC study found. This startling figure should indicate that young people who identify as “transgender” have a much higher rate of psychological disturbance leading to severe depression than those who do not.

The suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people.

. . . just under two percent of high school students said they were “transgender,”

And a large number of pre-school girls said they were fairy princesses too. Didn't make them that, however.

It’s cool and hip to be transgender these days. It does apparently suck actually being one. But hey, let’s everybody else celebrate it.

If: Transgender
Then: Has a mental problem

Not meant as an insult, just plain obvious.
(Except to progressives.)

This is not an excuse to mistreat, but given those suicide stats alone, more than ample reason to look into why these folks have mental problems.

Forty years ago, a total of 2% of the population was gay or bisexual. Recruiting really does work on the sick and on the weak minded. Tell people with mental illness that the problem is their anatomy and not them, and they will latch onto that excuse with enthusiasm.

In the 70’s these kids were known as “Moonies”.

It could be worse...an even great percentage of our kids could be desperately delusional and in need of very serious...and expensive...help.

That will be used to force even more radical "acceptance" measures by the elites.

When people think they know more than God and act accordingly, bad things always happen.

I suspect none of them had any spiritual training, learned that the person is never really in charge. Never were given the opportunity to attend Sunday School and learn those Old Testament stories on morality and faith, the New Testament lessons of God great unconditional love for His people.

I missed the “students said” part. I imagine if they had been asked the question just under 5% would’ve identified themselves as hippos.

Notice the Left has abandoned the ‘activities of consenting Adults in Private” talking point as they usher boys into the girls’ showers.

“Under 2%” actually sounds surprisingly low considering how trendy it is, how much the media has promoted it, etc. I image five years ago it was 0.5%. Hopefully it’ll go back there once Generation Z graduates and a hopefully less dumb generation replaces them.

Homofascist Bill Ayers had his way with the schools. Whilst onthe weather underground he was swinging both ways to smash monogamy and smash the state.

What a crock of crap. Once again, a pseudo-scientific organization is being prostituted to a political agenda.
