The fringe have the power and they rule by psychological dysfunction (pathocracy)

What does Christopher Rufo say that is wrong?

 

[Offthemat]

Luckily, we’re seeing a significant backlash to this, if it’s not too late to save the country.  It’s been shown that the astronomical increase in gender dysphoria is due to peer pressure spread on social media.  It’s a fad.  It supports the vapidity that desires inclusion, rage, and self importance, which so many find unobtainable on the field of merit.

I'll never deny that; it's what my data shows and what I teach. 

I was questioning his second half of the statement,  whereby it's being driven solely by social media.  I've not seen that data yet.

Amazing backpedaling demonstration...and then tries to change what he asked...LOL

[Ban Basketball]

Going back to the video and the bigot's premise,  he fails to realize nor mention two fundamental things.  In fact,  if our society knew the fundamental difference that I will pernt out in #1  below,  we wouldn't be having any of these one-sided, idiotic "debates."

1. Most importantly,  sex and gender ARE NOT the same thing.  Knowing that eliminates bigotry, almost immediately. 

2.  Gender and gender roles change over time. This knothead makes it sound like an immutable, unchanging reality, which it never has been.  

Please get yisselfs informed if you're trying to pass off ignorance and bigotry as knowledge.

It's the parents that have put these children in these situations.  (See Dwane Wade and Gabrielle Union)  and other  Idiots that think a child has a develped a brain enough to make decisions that will change their life.

Only authoritarians care what  decisions that families make among themselves. 

Keep selling that bill of goods,  folks,  and keep head scratching as to why Americans are rejecting authoritarianism and you're losing elections. 

Gives an open ticket to Democrats.

You may want to revisit the ol' correlation causation conundrum. 

Wowza, have we ever made a stupid segment among us,  friends!

[jross]

Based on my life experience, exposure plus social / peer pressure is the most likely contributor.  Examples are plenty: ice bucket challenge, one chip challenge, the cinnamon challenge, the pass out challenge, the contagion of suicidal behavior in location clusters (NLoM link), TikTok dances, sexified tween clothing, boys expecting pornstars in bed, girls kissing based on dares and drugs, drugs, rap video influence on drug usage...

Okay.  Now, I'm researching and am not finding many studies on the sudden increase in gender dysphoria. Still, these two seem relevant: 1,655 cases (article one - Diaz/Bailey) and 256 cases (article 2 - Littman) support the rapid onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) hypothesis.

I don't think you got as stupid as you are without some parental influence.  Are your parents cousins or siblings?

As are mine and I lost a sister and three dogs in the same year,    So back atcha.    So I guess you are using the old nature vs nurture argument.   Some environmental factor made you so vapid that most any argument you make is irrelivent and without merit.

Which is why parental oversight is so critical, and why some are so opposed to it.

If you do not think it is wrong to permanently change a young child's gender than you are part of the problem. A child cannot vote or drink alcohol, etc because they are not mental and physically developed enough but they can hack off their body parts? The people pushing this agenda want our young people to hate themselves and want to change themselves. God made each person unique just the way that they are and loves them just the way that they are.

Not exactly the same thing,  but sex and gender aren't the same concepts. 

Understanding the difference will not make this a mystery to you any longer.

The Ls and Gs are starting to get upset because the Ts are getting to the kids first.  The Ts are Ting the potential Ls and Gs way younger than any rational human ever thought it appropriate to address issues of sexuality and genderality; which was not even a separate concept unless talking about nouns until very very recently. 

Yeah, it is kind of made up.  Everyone knew Benny Hill, the Monty Python troupe, Dustin Hoffman, and Robin Williams were pretending to be women in dresses.  Jenner is pretending also.  Lola, Dude who looks like a Lady, and Lou Reed's Holly in Walk on the Wild side were remarkable because they were pretending and not normal.

The Bs don't seem to be in the conversation much.  The Ss, Qs, other brother Qs, Is, Ps (Bs on steroids?), As, other As,  and +s are all still a mystery to everyone but themselves.
