What the hell?

[Zipyy]

i live in a small town, this morning on my way to the centre i saw a few people i hadn't seen in a while, we exchanged pleasantries hi how are you the family, kids etc, and 3 different people (YES 3!) informed me one of their children is now an opposite sex and diagnosed as transgender! The youngest being 8 the eldest i think about 16/17,

now i have nothing against this, i do not judge anyone, for their beliefs and i try not to have an opinion on such matters, i asked each parent how THEY felt about it and two were really fine and one said they were devastated and were doing best to be supportive but essentially their head was fucked over it....i can understand that!

i do believe there may be very tiny proportion of the global population who genuinely are transgender again a very tiny portion of the GLOBAL population, but three kids in a small town, and to be told this all before 9:45! my brain can't cope!
thoughts anyone?

i understand many will disagree with my thinking of there may be genuine cases in the world, but please dont bash me over it,

There will, in the natural way of things, be very occasional coincidences that seem to be against the odds, but are genuine coincidences.

But it has been noted by some studying the enormous increase in children transitioning that there is a tendency for these to come in clusters.

Which is why there is now a theory that there might be an element of social contagion in these occurrences.

Seems likely to me, but others state that it isn’t true.

There’s no scientific consensus and even if there was, it wouldn’t be entirely certain which was occurring. But if I had a child in the same school these children were attending, I’d make sure they were fully aware of my personal understanding of biology.

And I feel sorry for the devastated parent. I can’t imagine not feeling very worried if it appeared my child was potentially on the pathway to a lifetime of medical intervention with a condition that has no external means of diagnosis.

Trans has a serious element of social contagion, what with it being so sparkling and turns ordinary people into the stunning and brave. Trans is really in-vogue.

Also all major trans support websites are heavily in favour of transitioning so all it takes is a few clicks of research to thing "oh god my child is going to commit suicide unless I trans them" (which is bs obvs). I'm not surprised there's so much of this.

I'd be tempted to anonymously drop a few transgender trend packs in to the schools and talk to the parents about the dangers of medical transition. And point out the bogus stats somehow.

I knew it was becoming more apparent in society and I think many around be going through a phase confused maybe by sexuality their hormones whatever I don't really know i dont kow enough about it, I just know it was shocking to find out before 10am this that 3 children in a tiny town are trans I mean half the town still can't get broadband, have gas and septic tanks and we have phone boxes because we are that far behind haha

Hopefully it's just this season's fashion and on your next visit you'll be astonished to see all the kids with deely boppers or whatever the next craze happens to be.

In the meantime I just hope they have some sort of cooling off period before opting for surgery etc.

I hope so, the world is going crazy!
