I would suggest that the reason there are increasing numbers and younger examples of disordered individuals is because the disorders are being promoted, normalized, and celebrated. CHILDREN are being corrupted by sexual predators and the collectivist Leftist death cult.
Regardless, the Leftists' faith based and unscientific battle cry for 'Gay Rights'; there are no 'gay' or 'trans' beings -the disorder is all mental, cause(s) unknown/unproved. 'Gay' beings have never been discriminated against because there is objectively no way to identify the supposed species. One can not discriminate against what is in one's mind; as such, there was never a ban against 'gays' there was a ban against unhealthy and disordered sexual activity. Society picks winners and losers -society has never chosen to grant privilege or celebrate unhealthy and disordered sexual activity (homosexual couplings) REGARDLESS society is now being forced to accept and subsidize it now.
True, I wasn’t looking at “root causes”, just that there is an increasing number of kids with these disorders...the person I was posting to is a BSA apologist in this whole matter...
I appreciate the background info.
