People were asking why he would do this.
A teenage boy figured out that if he just says "I am a girl" he gets free and unfettered access to see lots of naked girls and can make lewd comments to them with no repercussions.
Oh and because he can also get fame and money for collage.
So.... why wouldn't he do it?
Where is the down side for him?
Good question, I'd say if he ain't getting a boner in the girls locker room in high school, maybe he really is a mental case and should be mentally evaluated, checked for an anti social personality, is he a murderer in the making or really a Tinkerbell who likes boys?
While the boy may be faking it, gender dysphoria is a real deal. They are mentally ill. Believe me. Some really hate their bodies and many suffer from additional mental disorders.
The main mental health care “professional” organizations believe the only effective treatments for gender dysphoria are affirmation and transition. I won’t say whether this is for the $$$$$ involved or concern for the patients (or both). It is commonly believed transitioning helps prevent the patient from committing suicide, but I don’t know of any other delusions where treatment involves affirming the delusion. Think anorexia for example.
So yeah. The boy is mentally ill.
