This is a story Americans need to hear. Whether or not you have an adolescent daughter, whether or not your child has fallen for this transgender craze, America has become fertile ground for this mass enthusiasm for reasons that have everything to do with our cultural frailty: parents are undermined; experts are over-relied upon; dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated; free speech truckles under renewed attack; government healthcare laws harbor hidden consequences; and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups.
To tell the story of these adolescent girls, I conducted nearly two hundred interviews and spoke to over four dozen families of adolescents. I have relied in part on parent accounts. Since traditional dysphoria begins in early childhood and has long been marked by a “persistent, insistent, and consistent”1 sense of a child’s discomfort in his body (not something a young child can hide) parents are often in the best position to know whether the passionate dysphoria of adolescence began in early childhood. They are in the best position to know, in other words, whether the distress afflicting so many teenage girls represents traditional gender dysphoria or a different phenomenon altogether.

But the phenomenon sweeping teenage girls is different. It originates not in traditional gender dysphoria but in videos found on the internet. It represents mimicry inspired by internet gurus, a pledge taken with girlfriends—hands and breath held, eyes squeezed shut. For these girls, trans identification offers freedom from anxiety’s relentless pursuit; it satisfies the deepest need for acceptance, the thrill of transgression, the seductive lilt of belonging.

Feminism has utterly failed.
Or, if one views the world in a certain way, Feminism has been wildly successful.
Feminism has destroyed family and womanhood - mission accomplished.
There is no greater attraction than the attractive woman.

Women might be at risk of sterilization from the Covid ‘vaccines’ according to some ‘experts’.
Men also.
So IF there is a 20 year gap in new births-—what does that lead to worldwide???
The effects of the brainwashing campaign will only be temporary. Human beings will always return to practices that are more natural.
“Human beings will always return to practices that are more natural.”
Historically, that has only happened in the wake of the fiery and bloody collapse of entire civilizations. So, while you’re right, it will take a truly apocalyptic upheaval to catalyze that shift.
“Women are Human”.
I was telling someone this the other day. I like watching old movies because women are people in them, unlike todays shows. Women could be good or bad (just like real women), women weren’t stronger than men (just like real women), women aspired to be loved by a good man (just like real women). Having a child was a good thing and life altering (just like in real life).
Today I sometimes watch stories where the “women” are beating up the men. (Only a man in drag could be that).
It was twenty years ago when I saw a video game where giant boobed women were “warriors”. It was the first time I saw the men in drag theme. Real women are defective in that narrative. Real women are denigrated, degraded and abolished by it.
No wonder teen girls want to be men. Our entire culture spits on women.
Bette Davis played some women who no one, male or female, would want to mess with. And from what I’ve read, she most certainly enjoyed being a woman . . .
I loved Betty Davis and her performance in All About Eve was real tour de force. They wouldn’t make that picture today.
Only men are allowed to be feminine. Only women are allowed to be masculine. So confused adolescents seek to become the other.
I feel sorry for kids today.
I call it “pathologizing puberty”
Mark Steyn says that feminism could only have been invented by a 12 year old boy.
Think about it.
