Playing a role in the sudden rise of transgender children may be "transhausen by proxy," a term coined for narcissistic parents who push so-called "gender transitioning" on their children, some experts say. Celebrities are increasingly in the limelight with announcements about their children who come out as transgender or nonbinary. Nonbinary individuals identify as neither male nor female.
"Transhausen by proxy" isn't an officially recognized psychological condition. It's a play on an official condition known as Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP). MSBP is a mental illness that's also sometimes called medical child abuse or factitious disorder imposed on others. It's exhibited mostly by women seeking attention by exaggerating or making up an illness of children or others in their care.
Transhausen by proxy has very real effects on society, experts told The Epoch Times.
They point to headlines like the one on Pride.com in May, which gushes: "15 Celebs Who Are Out & Proud of Their Trans & Nonbinary Kids." The article praises stars such as Cher, Sade, Jennifer Lopez, and Charlize Theron for supporting their children who reject their biological sex.
Another article by Pink News details how United Kingdom television stars Carrie and David Grant claim three of their four children are transgender or nonbinary.
Ms. Grant is a singer and voice coach. Her husband was part of the '80s band Linx and worked with groups such as the Spice Girls. The couple told the publication they had discussed alternate gender identities before their children "came out."
They're currently pitching their book, "A Very Modern Family," on the topic of "understanding queer and neurodivergent children."
But celebrities aren't the only ones heralding transgender and nonbinary children.
Parents routinely post on social media cheering their children's transition or advocating for "transgender rights." Some parents have been featured in news articles for fleeing red states that block transgender procedures for children and moving to blue states where "gender-affirming care" is allowed.
The increase in cases of gender dysphoria and families with multiple transgender children have led some medical and mental health professionals to suspect psychological illness, such as narcissistic personality disorder, is involved.
A Parent-Fueled Condition?
Dr. Erica Li is a pediatrician in Spokane, Washington, who considers herself an old-school liberal. She's not necessarily against gender transitioning. Early in her career, she considered becoming a pediatrician specializing in gender dysphoria.
However, she began to question why doctors were advocating for medical procedures to transition children without solid scientific evidence that the procedures came with an overwhelming benefit for their young patients, she told The Epoch Times.
If the cause of gender dysphoria is unknown in a patient and the prognosis of treatment is uncertain, then radical treatment with morbid side effects isn't justified, she said.
Dr. Li believes contemporary gender medicine is no longer based on reality. Now, she said, it's more about ideology. And the outcomes and long-term side effects of treating gender dysphoria are "murky."

There! Fixed it.
Save the nation by closing the schools?
“There isn’t a single study that has followed kids exposed to puberty blockers and then have transitioned,” he said. “Not one.””
That is because the doctors are as narcissistic as the parents. They are so sure they are right that they “don’t need no steenking study!” (bad guy from Treasure of the Sierra Madre.)
Keep young kids off social media and you eliminate a large number of problems.
“””Note. I posted this article this morning and it was pulled with a snarky comment that “search still works”. LOL! I promise I searched by the exact title and received no returns showing the article had already been posted. It is frustrating because this is not the first time that has happened to me.”””
You were the first person to post this thread. I noticed that someone after you posted the same article. I suspect the MODS made a mistake when they accused you of not doing a search.
i think it’s 60/40, 60% push the child where the 40% are devastated by what the school system has done to them...
I’ve always wondered what Cher allowed to happen to Chastity as a child for her to turn herself into a fat man.
No need to wonder. Chastity Bono claimed in her memoir that she was sexually molested at age 11 by an adult friend of Cher (her mother) that Cher left her in the care of. Chastity wrote that when she told Cher years later, Cher responded, "This will be a good life experience for you."

Thanks for the update. She was such a sweet little girl back when the Sonny and Cher show was on tv.

I doubt your dad had any impact on whether your sister is lesbian or not. After all, don’t they (and other LGBTQs) say that they are born that way? (i.e., they aren’t made or conditioned.) Were that the case then something like ‘reprogramming’ should work (which they claim does not.)
Let’s be honest. I assume I would not be far off if the article was retitled “Single Mothers’ Personality Disorders...”
I think that this is not a particularly astonishing revelation to many with the experience and training to recognize these things.
Were one to waste time going back through my posts they would find that years ago I specifically pointed out both narcistic personality disorder and also the normalization of borderline personality disorder in what we are seeing today yet I dont have any articles published in prestigious medical journals.
A few people recognizing something and society as a whole doing something about it are miles apart.
Even at that point where those aware first begin murmuring of opposition to the narrative the shills and plants are prodded to finally earn their pay. Post something regarding anything from the failure of public schools to unconstitutional military policy even around here and watch the single issue ghouls that arise from the grave of many years just to comment in opposition to conservative positions before returning to the crypt of intellectual corruption to wait again.
To evade the frustration of being called Chicken Little we are going to have to be Little Red Hen. I really think this is one of those things where we are going to have to wait for and document the meteors imminent arrival then guide those that can be saved to a safer mental place after impact.
The correlation isn’t with Munchausen’s, it’s Borderline Personality Disorder.
Isn’t Munchausen’s a personality disorder?
