@@markeyfarrell actually, in a way you are correct. Trans people are both that way, they just develop an understanding of it as they grow older. So technically you are assigned your gender by nature at birth, it just doesn’t match the one the the doctor says you are based on your anatomy. Besides that, you’re completely incorrect and you should go work on being a more accepting person

[@laurenh1106]

@@markeyfarrell I would like to start off by pointing out that you claimed they knew nothing about autism even while experiencing autism. I do not know how you could type that out and think it sounds even remotely helpful or educational- because I assume you want to help others, right? Anyway, if you'd like to bring biology into this, I must inform you that biology does support trans people- or not feeling you were assigned the correct body at birth. There have been some cases in which someone has both male and female parts, which would inspire one to wonder if they are a girl, boy, etc. I think you should do your research on this- it is very interesting. Now, if I am going to agree with the claim that everyone's body is correctly assigned, I should look at your point of view. I can see it like this: it is not the assigned body that really matters, but the journey that either inspires gender dysphoria and good change, or one that enhances one's love of their body. Transphobia is not welcome here. If you would like to help others, educate yourself and give them meaningful advice.

[@charlesg7926]

You can’t deny that it’s weird that it was only one in 10,000 people that wanted to be transgender before… But now suddenly it’s 1 in 50 (2%).

And autistic people might be doing it more than other people because a lot of people wanna “become trans” when they’re socially ostracized or stressed

[@TangledInYarn]

Whenever I hear someone complain about how there are more trans people now, I can't help but think about how the amount of recorded left-handed people must have risen once people stopped forcing them to use their right hand instead.

[@faealike4748]

Wow, so you think there’s an equivalent between what hand you use and invasive medical procedures that damage healthy bodies. Interesting, seems to me that brutally medicalising a healthy body is actually more like tying the left hand behind someone’s back than than the acceptance of how a body actually is.

[@TangledInYarn]

@@faealike4748 The difference being that one's identity as trans doesn't necessarily equate medical transition. Identity is internal, and a trans person may seek medical conversion but that is not necessary for being trans. What you're referring to is inaccurate.

[@alltheaphmultilanguages5295]

@Phoook. Yeou It literally isn't, you just don't have the capacity to get it. The point is: when someone's no longer forced to do something, or when something slowly becomes less and less stigmatized, those things tend to be more common. Autism is an example, intersex conditions are an example too. Those were hidden throughout history, and only recently have they become more common. It's not rocket science, babe.

That's what people like PragerU do, they comment on your perception of something and not the facts surrounding it. When I was growing up in the 80's, gay people were openly ridiculed everywhere including the TV, movies and the newspapers. But as far as actual gay people, we didn't know any, they didn't really exist. Now however, gay people are everywhere, suddenly the world is full of very proud and very open homosexuals and we have new and complicated names for gender which is now fluid and not fixed. Now, is all that down to gayness being a fad? it's suddenly cool to be gay? Or.. is it due to progress in social liberty over the last 40 years and infact when I was growing up in the 80's there were just as many gay people as there are today?

Just wanna say, I've had un-monitored internet access since I was like 9 years old. I've spent a ton of time on social media and I've been exposed to plenty about the gay and trans community. I still identify as cis gendered though. Nothing about my gender identity changed. Sure, social media has made me question it because as a curious person I obviously wanted to know if I had the same type of thing as these people were describing, but I concluded that I didn't. See the problem isn't social media, teenagers aren't dumb gullible people that follow a hive mind, we can think for ourselves and it just so happens that many teenagers have come to the realization that they have gender dysphoria BECAUSE of social media. They've always had it, the internet may have just helped them realize it.

[@magicalex2346]

And making the same point in basically the opposite, I wasn’t allowed social media access until I was a sophomore in high school, yet is experienced gender dysphoria throughout middle school.

[@andreadamon2197]

Dysphoria sucks and I hate when, like depression, it gets glorified and minimized. That being said, an increase in people identifying as transgender can easily be explained by increased knowledge and understanding as well as there being more societal acceptance of it, allowing people the ability to 1. Understand what they’re going through and 2. Feel comfortable enough being open and out about it. Not every increase in something is because it’s “cool” or “trendy” or “popular”. Conservatives did this shit with gay people too. Interracial marriages continue to increase to this day. Is that because it’s “trendy”?

If they were "nice" it was often in the form of offering Religious treatments like pray away the trans camps and told them to "ignore the feelings or you'll go to hell" or "your parents will hate and disown you" or "your a pervert for having those feelings".

@@GCEXTREMEMN The brain and genitals are two separate things. Transgender people experience gender dysphoria, that dosen't mean they, in your words "grow ovaries".

I'm one that doesn't believe gender to be a social construct, but it is still separate from sex. Sex is physical while gender is psychological. You can of course use a strawman argument and say that the brain is physical therefore my point is invalid, so save your breath.

@@queenkajou Because it more closely represents your gender presentation. Biological sex and gender are different but not totally divorced. We can go into a discussion about why or how that is, whether it's a good thing or if we can change it but if for example, you have a female presenting sex but more closely identify with a male presenting gender, it makes sense to transition your sex to more closely match that. There are two parts of transition, social transition - which is everything (basically) except sex or the medical aspect. Social transition is name change (if you want one), pronouns and being treated socially as the gender you identify with. You can also think of this as the "gender" part of transition although I don't for a few reasons but this is already dense. Medical transition is the other half, hormone blockers in puberty, hormone replacement upon confirmation, surgeries: top, bottom and facial feminisation/masculinisation, not everyone gets all of these surgeries and some don't get any, this doesn't make them less valid, surgery is scary and there are other reasons too. Effectively this is what people refer to as sex change, and it's what people think of first when they think of trans people, which is probably tactically crafted to be that way, because this is the scariest and most complicated part of transition. There's SO much I haven't touched on and not all the information I gave will be true for every trans person you meet. I hope that helped a little bit.

There are numerous things wrong with this. First off, the claim that only boys can have gender dysphoria. This is straight up false. Any reputable medical doctor or institution says that all genders can experience dysphoria. Second off, dysphoria can occur at basically any stage of life. According to Mayo Clinic, you can have early stage, which is within the age of a toddler, middle stage, which is during puberty, and late stage, which is as an adult. Also, not all trans people necessarily experience dysphoria. To say that every trans boy is wrong about their decision would be hasty generalization. Another issue is that transitioning is not labelled like the way you claim. Transitioning using hormones is labelled as a very extreme method within the LGBT community, being a bisexual myself and interacting with other LGBT people. Not all Trans people use hormones, not all even transition in the same way. Transitioning is not supposed to solve all your problems. *Transitioning is meant to make you feel better about your self image and how you feel as your identity.* Your claims about social media are blatantly false. If a person is convinced to transition than that mean they have to at least relate to the people they see online. They have to feel the same way. There is no way a trans man who is in the right state of mind, could convince themselves that they are trans without having some doubts about it beforehand. Another issue is that medical treatment is very hard to find, especially within bigoted communities like the one you find yourself in. To say that any girl can just walk in and get treatment would be false. Another issue is that removing education from these people will only make it worse. Those people who transition and don’t like it are a tiny minority. It will harm the much bigger group of people that are actually trans. PragerU is spreading lies and misinformation.

I agree that time and thought should be put into such big things like taking hormones. That being said, parents should be kind to their children that are just trying to figure things out.

If you have a child who is sneaking away from home to get some hormones then that child may not trust their parent. (Although if it is illegal, that is a whole different story).

While you can make assumptions about a person given thier name, you cannot truely *know* anything about a person with just thier name. Same applies to gender. This means that this entire conversation about gender is completely pointless, as Gender is therefore useless unless referring to itself. Congrats Liberals, using your definition of Gender, you prove that gender is useless and can therefore be discarded as it is only a means of self identification. Also, pronouns are linked to ones sex, being a natural and subconsious way to identify one's sex without explicity saying "this guy has XY chromosomes." So not only are "your pronouns" stupid they do not in any way relate to gender. Oh and one last thing, if Gender is different than sex, you cannot be "transgender" as you cannot transition from something that you were not, since you know "trans people were always, deep down, the gender they transitioned to."

Gender and sexuality are entirely decided by God, through the chromosomes He made. Either you're a male with an X and Y chromosome, or you're a female with two X chromosomes. Sexuality is for procreation not recreation. Repent ye and believe the Gospel. John 3:16-21 Authorized.

A study from surgeons who perform gender transitions concluded that out of 22,725 patients who transitioned, 16 trans men, 37 trans women, and 6 non-binaries regretted it and sought to detransition. Let's see, that's 59 people. Out of *22,725* . What was it you said? Most trans people regret transitioning? Right, right. Totally. That adds up. Maybe the reason why "no one was trans" ten years ago was because *no one was accepting* ten years ago. I guarantee that there were plenty of trans people, they just weren't out. Not only that, but that study by Lisa Littman was conducted by a transphobic woman, with transphobic parents, on a transphobic platform. She asked transphobic parents about how they felt about their kids being trans, and of course, they said "well they never showed any signs of 'gender dysphoria' until their friends started saying that they were trans'". Your kid didn't "show" any signs because they were hiding it from you. And since their friends came out, they probably felt more comfortable and safe, and gained the courage to tell you. Cutting your trans kid off from social media, hiding them from trans studies, and being all "well you're just a teen," isn't going to change the fact that you're child is trans. It's going to hurt them in the long run. And you want to know why the suicide rate is high for trans people? They're one of the most heavily oppressed and ridiculed communities to date.

This is telling Parents to do bad things "1. Keep your child from Social Media" Basically telling a parent to become a helicopter parent and monitor every single thing their child does on the internet. "2. Oppose against Gender Ideology teaching in schools" Make it so your child has no way to figure out why they're uncomfortable in their own skin and make it so they will always be REALLY uncomfortable (As someone who deals with Gender Dysphoria, It really sucks to deal with) and the worst of all "3. You don't have to agree with what your child identifies as" They say this is the most loving thing you can do. IT IS NOT. This is the WORST thing you could do to your child when they come out as Transgender. This makes them feel unexcepted and unhappy. It will make them uncomfortable to be in their own HOME. When I came out as trans to my parent, I told them that if they didn't respect my name and pronouns that I would live at a friend's home that did. Because you should ALWAYS feel comfortable living in your own home. This video is basically stating that trans men are caused by social influence, and therefore aren't valid transgender people. THIS IS DISGUSTING. GENDER DYSPHORIA IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE. Just because a teenage girl got on the internet, watched something on KZbin, and then decided he was trans male, DOES NOT MEAN THAT HE ISN'T FEELING GENDER DYSPHORIA. It means he found a way to understand why he felt the way he did. Frankly, this video being up is absolutely disgusting and should be taken down. It is encouraging parents to be helicopter parents to keep their children away from what they think is wrong. THEY ARE PEOPLE AND JUST BECAUSE THEY FEEL SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT A GODDAMN STUDY SAYS DOESN'T MEAN WHAT THEY'RE FEELING IS INVALID. P.S.

I’m not personally transgender, but I know several teenage trans people whose biological sexes are female, the majority of whom identify as male, and they all seem pretty well-adjusted. As far as I’m aware, only one of them has medically transitioned at all. He started testosterone when he was eighteen, so he was at an age when most people agree it’s okay to make body modifications without parental consent. The others are content to have short hair and wear masculine clothing, although it’s very possible that they may start hormones or get surgery when they’re adults. I’m not saying that it’s not possible to access these without parental involvement as a minor, but it seems to be pretty rare. Most of the information on the topic I’ve consumed indicates that before gender affirmation surgery, you have to go to a therapist and work through any issues you might have, so people aren’t just waltzing in and transitioning to get rid of whatever stresses them. Also, I have no idea why you think that anyone thinks that transitioning will solve all of their problems. Most of my trans friends have been identifying and passing as their chosen genders for years, so they, at least ought to be aware that their lives will be largely the same post-transition. The vast majority of trans influencers say that they’re happier since they transitioned, but the only thing they say has actually improved was satisfaction with their bodies and how people perceive them. There was also a study done on how many trans people detransitioned, and it was incredibly rare, and those who did were much more likely to detransition because of other people’s judgement than because they no longer identified with their chosen genders. I do agree that the rise in trans men probably has a lot to do with a cultural shift, but gender itself is cultural, so it’s really not that odd. If what is feminine varies between cultures, femininity must be cultural, so I really don’t understand why you would say that gender and sex are the same. Besides, there are several cultures with more than two genders, so it just doesn’t make sense to me that people would conflate the two. Also, even if this was just a phase, you’re not doing anyone any good by being rude and unaccepting to them. If anything, you’re only pushing them away and making them less likely to listen to you at all. Intentionally misgendering people doesn’t help anyone, and it’s basic decency to refer to people the way they want you to. Let your kids identify how they like, and if they grow out of it, so be it, but you’re not going to convince them they’re not trans.

This video is in no way shape or form educational. It is transphobic. Trans people are not trans because of social media, or influences from friends. They are transgender because they were assigned one gender at birth, and later discovered that it wasn't right for them, realizing this through gender dysphoria. Anyone going through gender dysphoria feels like they're not in the right body. And people like her tell them that they're wrong? Is that what you would tell a child having a panic attack? That they're just having one because of other kids pressuring them to do it? No. No you wouldn't. Transgender teens know exactly what they're doing, unlike some transphobes like her. Some of them are confused, yes, and that's normal. Teenagers are often exploring new things to find out who they are and what they want to do when they grow up. And what if you child IS trans? Would you tell them, "No, you can't do this" and then wonder why they're so depressed? Transgender individuals often suffer from depression and anxiety, and society is making it worse. I can tell you that from experience. There is science and research about transgender people. She obviously did not find the accurate resources, and has no idea what she's talking about. People are transgender because their body is one gender, and their brain is not, even structurally. They didn't choose to be transgender. So why do people think they can tell them they're wrong, and not supposed to be like this? Would you say "You can't be a boy, you're a girl," to a trans person? Apparently. Would you say "Just calm down" to a person with ADHD? Why do people discriminate so much? You love who you love. You are who you are. Don't lie to yourself.
