So you are saying the increases across the board are just genetic in nature and have nothing to do with social phenomenon?
I don't really care either way (and I definitely don't care what Kohl's does when the cats out of the bag anyway) but this seems clearly wrong to me. Once you normalize this stuff and say gender is just a social construct, of course the numbers are going to spike amongst confused adolescents.
Guess it depends how you wanna define gender dysphoria or trans or post-op surgery (I realize some of it is just cool labeling that people grow out of fast) but the increase is rather rapid and exponential.
When Shrier uses the term “craze,” she means it in the scientific sense. Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) is what Dr. Lisa Littman calls a “social contagion,” and it primarily impacts young girls. Just a short time ago, only .002% to .003% of girls in the U.S. identified as transgender. Now, it is up to 2%, and Shrier told me that she believes the rate has spiked by thousands of percentage points (in the UK, the number of girls identifying as trans has risen by over 4000%). Most trans-identified youth used to be males—that has reversed. In 2016, for example, girls accounted for 46% of sex reassignment surgeries in the U.S. One year later, that number had spiked to 70%.

People honestly think none of this has to do with environmental factors? Think we can probably use common sense and determine everyone isn't just "living their truth" from a genetic perspective. I'm not even saying I have some utopian solution or anything like that, but cause/effect seems obvious here.
That kind of change obviously is more a result of normalize/society, as oppose to society creating more individuals like itSo you are saying the increases across the board are just genetic in nature and have nothing to do with social phenomenon?

I think homosexuality is 100% nature, think transgenderism is more of a gray area fwiw
Why isn't gender dysphoria up 3000%? That article has it in that range.
No one was trans or didn't know their gender 15 years ago, of course it is up many multiples like 20-40x. Post-op surgery is up huge as well even though that is still a small # of trans I believe.
And why do you think homosexuality is 100% nature but trans is more gray? Honestly, that just sounds like some shit that feels good to say. One has been normalized, the other still feels like mental illness and probably grosses you out a bit. But I'd guess it tracks closer in terms of some of it is nature, some of it is environmental/lifestyle than that for both.
I don't know/care how companies should deal with this marketing wise, I mean people are a part of the general population, can't really just totally ignore them or sweep it under the rug, we're not Ugunda or even Russia. But seems like we're not using common sense to say it is all genetic/nature.
I think gender dysphoria is harder to identify and we know less about it in general. I think a lot of the surge in it is from social stigma starting to ware off about it.
In terms of sexuality, I think there are factors that influence your overall sex life (like if you watch porn, for example), but the way you're wired in terms of if you're attracted to your own sex, the opposite sex, both etc is something that can't be changed. People may not act on it though out of shame, for religious reasons, etc
I guess if 50 years down the road we know that 3-5% of NFL players are gay, that doesn't mean that there are suddenly more gay people playing football
Just means it's become acceptable to talk about in society
I bet it's probably around that figure now, but it's very taboo to be a gay NFL player

when they start putting books in grade schools that show 2 little boys, one standing with his pants around his ankles and the other down on his knees, that is what upsets people, if people grow up and decide they are Gay that is fine, but there is no reason to push it on children who are not even old enough to understand what sex is, they are trying to lure kids into being it, that is the PROBLEM, and if you do not think those books are in grade schoo;s you should educate yourself..then you got these mothers who take their 3 and 4 yr old boys to drag queen shows, why??? its very easy to confuse a child at that age,
I agree if you grow up in rural Iowa and being gay might get you pelted with rocks after school, that is probably something you 100% cannot control because who would choose that? But in a lot of big urban areas/schools, it is pushed pretty aggressively now and an easy wagon to hitch yourself to if you're a confused person or had trauma growing up, etc.......I think most LGBT advocates wouldn't even disagree with that, they would just say who cares? It is not an inferior lifestyle.
There are people who are confused in their early years but that doesn’t change who they actually are
Vulnerable people can be swept up in movements.
Gay people can go through their whole lives raising a traditional family, having children, etc . Some go to things called “gay conversion therapy” because they’re ashamed. Doesn’t make them straight lol they’re always gonna be gay
