Analysts at LexisNexis — which tracks 300million patients — found the number of insurance claims for gender identity care among under-18s spiked 133 percent from 2019 to 2023.

Whyever would this be? 🤔
this is all due to social media and outside interference (grooming) by other persons. Misery loves company.
I have to admit I see a lot of Fey young men nowadays, and women ... ughh.
That’s a hell of a price to pay for being stylish.
Well, at least they're willing to admit that it's a "mental disorder...
This is what a collapsed failed society at war with God looks like.
This is why Islam is growing.
The number of girls wanting to be boys is HUGE. Girls traditionally have been more susceptible to social contagions (”hysteria”).
IMO it's not hysteria. It's just a really terrible time in which to be a girl/woman, what with protected groups getting away with sexual assault and "like a girl" being used as an insult. Even conservatives, who claim to value traditional feminine qualities in girls/women, contradict themselves. A woman who doesn't work outside the home is no longer a lady but a "golddigger". A woman with a low body count is no loger pure but "frigid" and "prudish". I can't tell you the last time I saw the word "feminine" used in a positive way on FR. If you continually devalue femininity you will have a generation of confused young women a decade later.
"And all the time—such is the tragi-comedy of our situation—we continue to clamour for those very qualities we are rendering impossible...In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful." - C.S. Lewis
"If you can't beat them join them" seems to be the motto of female gen Zers.
Even the Netherlands, home of the Dutch protocol, has reversed their position on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors. When Europe socializes medicine they are the darling of the Rat party. When Europe receives reports from its socialist doctors that chemical castration of children is not best medical practices suddenly they are reviled by the Rats. Go figure.
“Transitioning” kids apparently turns them into mass murderers.
