Dan Zadra once wrote, “worry is a misuse of the imagination.” In January of this year, after coming across a particularly worrying piece in the Atlantic, I misused my imagination. Sorry, Mr. Zadra.
Titled “Young Trans Children Know Who They Are,” the piece focused on transgender children — those of whom identify as a different gender from the one they were assigned at birth. Ed Yang, the author of the piece, argues that, from an early age, children already have a strong sense of identity. He contends that some children as young as three already have a strong sense of their identity. If a three-year-old boy tells his parents that he identifies as a girl, Mommy and Daddy shouldn’t just listen, they should consider gender reassignment surgery. After all, although he is only three, the boy clearly knows what he wants.
Rather worryingly, an increasing number of parents appear to be listening, and acquiescing, to such ludicrous demands. According to a 2018 paper by Nic Rider, a University of Minnesota postdoctoral fellow who studies transgender health, the number of U.S. teens and pre-teens identifying themselves using other nontraditional gender terms is on the rise. The paper appeared in Pediatrics, a peer-reviewed medical journal published by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
In an accompanying opinion article, Dr. Daniel Shumer, a specialist in transgender medicine at the University of Michigan, complimented Rider’s findings. Shumer also stated that the study echoes other research suggesting that earlier counts of the trans population “have been underestimated by orders of magnitude. Youth are rejecting this binary thinking and are asking adults to keep up.”
To keep up with what, exactly, Dr. Shumer?
According to a 2018 piece in the Federalist, doctors have been accepting cases of underage girls who identify as males for quite some time

“Conversion therapy” isn’t about therapy in any traditional sense of the word. This is how it sneaks under the radar. It is a total usurpation of parental rights. Little Johnny comes home from school and says he wants to be a girl, his parents will be breaking the law if they tell him no and the State will take away their kids.
“(7) The discredited practice known as “conversion therapy” is a form of discrimination that harms LGBTQ people by undermining individuals sense of self worth, increasing suicide ideation and substance abuse, exacerbating family conflict, and contributing to second class status.”
They're already trying to sneak this crap in. President Trump vowed that he would not sign this bill because it contains too many poison pills. This is exactly what he was talking about.
The homos used this very tact. So will the trannies.
Unless we stand against it.
Put another Trump conservative on the Supreme Court.
The spirit of antichrist will seek to change times and laws.
Psalm 2... remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood. As this movement is resisted remember to seek God for power and Grace against the forces of wickedness in Heavenly places. That is where this wicked ideology stems from.
SOON, coming to Walmart, a NON BINARY section of clothes, no more MENS clothes, and WOMENS clothes, but everyone gets to choose.... I think kids are growing up where men go to beauty salons and women to barber shops. It is rampant. Woman wear more pants, and men are starting to wear skirts. Men pierce their ears, and women no longer want to wear jewelry. Welcome to the non binary world.
XX= woman
XY= man.
All others go home and play dress up in their closets. Case closed.
As one astute freeper noted: I remember when my 3 year old thought he was batman.
I would guess that many trans youth have no father at home.
Frightening story from the article:
In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Charlize Theron, the Oscar Award winning actress, revealed that her eldest child, Jackson, 7, is transgender.
According to the South African born actress, Jackson was assigned male at birth but, at the age of three, “knew” that she was a girl.“Yes, I thought she was a boy, too,” Theron told the outlet. “She looked at me when she was three years old and said: ‘I am not a boy!’”When asked why she decided to raise Jackson as a female, the 43-year-old stated that it was not her decision to make; it was her child’s. Really, as a parent of a three-year-old, it is not your job to make life-changing decisions? Would you let your three-year-old pick out a mortgage plan for you? Of course not. This is a decision that requires adult thinking.

Just issue those old Mao suits that are gathering dust in Chinese warehouses. Walmart can sell them - cheap.
19 out of 20 kid who feel “different” decide to stay the sex they were born with (as if there’s a choice) by 18.
Thats why the left cant let them wait until that age.
And I’m guessing, just like the doctor in this article, a large percentage of doctors are liberal.
This is why the left wins: even ‘conservative’ writers cannot get the semantics right. People are not ‘assigned’ gender at birth. If they were, then it is entirely possible that the presiding physician could have ‘made a mistake’.
As is it, genders are not ‘assigned’: they are merely ‘reported’ as descriptive of the fact that they child is either a boy or a girl. There is no room for judgement ... just report the facts.
I wanted to be a horse from about 4 to 8.

Since there is no sex change, this is all insanity.
These are the exact same folks who claim children are capable of consenting to sex with adults.
Never forget to call this what it is: a pedophile agenda.
It serves the interests of adults who wish to use babies as sex toys, to be experimented with and played with — and discarded, when inconvenient— for adult gratification.
Humans are a herd animal with respect to wanting to fit in with the group holding majority social beliefs. We have seen that when the media promotes certain minority held beliefs and makes it look like it is a majority opinion, there are rapid swings in public opinion. Homosexuality and gay marriage are two examples. That same strategy is being used with transgenderism.
