It's not because the Left loves trannies. It's because the Left sees them as a way to undermine "white Christian patriarchy" (i.e., the traditional religion and family unit of European civilization). The Left has weaponized trannies to destroy Christiandom.
If some Jews, blacks, and Latinos also suffer, well, that's collateral damage. Their communities aren't directly targeted with trannies, but if you want to destroy Christendom, you must allow for some collateral damage.
Transgender should not be linked to lesbians or gay men and those groups have at times pushed back on the association. It’s a very different thing.
The transgendered that I’ve known socially or worked with have abuse in their personal history. They despised themselves and transitioning was a way to escape or kill that version of self, to spare them from being reminded of their victimization. They may feel pressured to transition while looking for belonging when they feel alienated from their family. It’s sad to see the struggles and the lack of interest in determining root cause and finding a way to heal. Instead the answer is hormone therapy or surgery.
There’s reason transgendered are a higher risk group for STIs.
Unfortunately the counseling is a joke. And since this has been culturally dragged into the “civil rights” arena no doctor is going to deny a patient their hormones or transition whether they are psychologically fit to make such a radical choice or not. Look at how poorly doctors were gatekeepers for antibiotics and opioids. Patient demands for both didn’t include the societal pressure of this “civil rights” movement. Doctors will not resist a patient demanding hormone therapy particularly. New doctors won’t be skeptical of patients readiness and older doctors will feel pressure from their peer group, employer, malpractice insurance and in this case, state law.
Absolutely no child should be going through this process. Teenager either.
Expect an increase in transgendered not because it’s an underrepresented thing but because it’s a “acceptable” path to rid oneself of who they were. Disaffected millennial youth will get caught up in it. It may be a way to female stardom for mediocre male athletes so they can live out a fantasy and delusions about self.
