Majority of Transgender Americans are Teenagers, And The Numbers Are Rising
Townhall ^ | 06/11/2022 | Sarah Arnold

The woke mob’s sick agenda of making it “normal” for kids to think they are a different gender is growing by the minute with the left basically “grooming” young children. And It doesn’t help that corporations such as Disney have deemed it acceptable by including trans and gay characters in their movies.

According to a new report conducted by UCLA’s Williams Institute, 43 percent of U.S. teenagers over the age of 13 identify as transgender, that number has nearly doubled in the last few years. 

The study’s lead author Jody Herman said the numbers suggests that the current climate of the world has been the driving factor in why so many young adults are identifying as something they biologically are not. 

“These new estimates show us that current policy debates regarding access to gender-affirming care and the ability to participate in team sports likely impact more youth than we previously thought.” 

The Biden administration has doubled down on “gender-affirming care” by threatening states that their funding would be stripped if they denied minors from receiving care such as puberty blockers and sex-change surgery. 

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden previously released a video condemning parents who refuse to just allow their child to make a life-alternating decision about their bodies. 

Adolescent’s brains are not even fully formed until at least the age of 25, yet the left continues to aim their “born in the wrong body” propaganda narrative on children, who in most cases don’t think twice about it until it’s brought to their attention.

No. 43% of teens do not. That’s not even close to what the linked material says. It says 0.6%. Why can’t these bloggers get even basic things right?

From the study: “Among U.S. adults, 0.5% (about 1.3 million adults) identify as transgender. Among youth ages 13 to 17 in the U.S., 1.4% (about 300,000 youth) identify as transgender.”

Not 43%. 1.4%. Which is still way way too many.

The logical conclusion ultimately is it leads ti more trans conversion and experimental sterilization.

Thus more population control.

There has been mischief afoot, and those participating should
be put away.

Can you imagine 43%?

I’m not even sure where that number came from. The report mentioned “43 States” but 43 % isn’t listed anywhere in that survey.

It’s a very dangerous fad, the groomers are setting the traps and gullible parents and kids are getting snared. Seems like vigilantism by soccer moms isn’t far away.

So the indoctrination the dems are teaching is working. Good job dems. Also note that school shooters are younger. And how many school shooters are known to local and fed police BEFORE the shooting and they do NOTHING to stop it. Amazing right? Dems preach hate and division and sex.

Dems worship death. Dems tell kids that a woman can kill an unborn child BEFORE birth. Now CA, DE and MD want to ABORT a child up to 28 days AFTER birth. Then they STARVE the babies. Then in school they teach kids to hate each other and question their sexuality and showing them porn starting in daycare causing them to have mental issues and then they wonder why kids lose it. Then they blame others when bad stuff happens. It is NOT the gun. It is how dems and libs DESTROY our kids

Over 1.6 million adults (ages 18 and older) and youth (ages 13 to 17) identify as transgender in the United States, or 0.6% of those ages 13 and older.

Among U.S. adults, 0.5% (about 1.3 million adults) identify as transgender. Among youth ages 13 to 17 in the U.S., 1.4% (about 300,000 youth) identify as transgender.

Of the 1.3 million adults who identify as transgender, 38.5% (515,200) are transgender women, 35.9% (480,000) are transgender men, and 25.6% (341,800) reported they are gender nonconforming.

Research shows transgender individuals are younger on average than the U.S. population. We find that youth ages 13 to 17 are significantly more likely to identify as transgender (1.4%) than adults ages 65 or older (0.3%).

The racial/ethnic distribution of youth and adults who identify as transgender appears generally similar to the U.S. population, though our estimates mirror prior research that found transgender youth and adults are more likely to report being Latinx and less likely to report being White compared to the U.S. population.

Our estimates of the percent of residents in U.S. regions who identify as transgender range from 1.8% in the Northeast to 1.2% in the Midwest for youth ages 13 to 17, and range from 0.6% in the Northeast to 0.4% in the Midwest for adults.

At the state level, our estimates range from 3.0% of youth ages 13 to 17 identifying as transgender in New York to 0.6% in Wyoming. Our estimates for the percentage of adults who identify as transgender range from 0.9% in North Carolina to 0.2% in Missouri.

This is why Joe needs all the illegals. We have an entire workforce of kids that can’t even tell what sex they are. Who is going to do the jobs to keep the country afloat? Illegals, because the American kids are all messed up.

1.4% or so is the close to the background for homosexuality. That seems to be rather consistent across cultures and time (not to say this is the optimal outcome and for the individuals afflicted it is unfortunate).

There is some evidence that this has a biological cause, such as having many older brothers. A friend of mine has four older brothers and is gay, though he does not engage in gay behavior. The scientific thought is there is something with epigenetics that has to do with this (if you don’t know the term look it up).

However 1.4% is way too much for a mental illness that causes one to think of themselves as anything but their biological reality. Do 1.4% of blacks identify as white and vice versa? Do 1.4% of Japanese self-identify as Australian Aboriginals?

The answer is no. This is a mass psychosis that is culturally and not biologically driven. Probably sourced from some three letter agency.

I’ll add to your list. In about five years....mass suicidal waves will occur, with these individuals developing ‘blame-games’, and mass shootings will occur week by week....as life-traumas take root.

What you see today in terms of youth-violence? It’ll triple in scale.

I noticed about a month ago...some doctor had evaluated the situation (puberty blockers), and saying that you’d reach your teens and be unable to have organisms or satisfactory sex. Then he added this unique factor....from day one to age 65...he figured about one-million dollars in drugs/hormones, surgery, and mental clinic costs are involved. At that point, I kinda wondered...who will pay all of this?

1 in 60 people suffer from an endocrine disorder and don’t even know it.

1 in 2,000 have my particular brand of disorder (NCCAH) and don’t even know it.

When my husband, who was also carrying a similar defect, and I married and produced children, the recessive became manifest in 2 if our 3 offspring.

My middle child is transgender because of it.

1% is about right.

What people should be looking at is not the typical boogie-man groomer default position. What people should be looking at is the amount of chemicals and crap in our food, the products we use on our bodies and in our homes, the toxins we willingly expose our children to, that interfere with their endocrine system.

We need less hysteria and hyperbole and more solid research (not the Fauci Dr. Evil kind, either). We are jacking up our kids.

Mass psychosis. Will be studied by historians.
