This defensiveness has led the trans lobby to engage in peer pressure of its own. Transgender surgery left Walter Heyer confused and suicidal Increasingly, trans activists and allied organizations find themselves on the defensive against researchers who note this trend and offer explanations for gender dysphoria that run counter to transgender modalities.
To be sure, public examples of peer pressure and fleeting emotional distress leading to teens or preteens self-diagnosing as gender dysphoric can be an embarrassment to the trans lobby. Some of these girls soon find they can act on their impulses with easy access to sex hormones from suppliers such as Planned Parenthood, which are allowed by law to provide such drugs to minors so long as these suppliers operate under “informed consent” rules.įor the uninitiated, informed consent often means that no therapist note is required to dispense these drugs and children can actually leave the clinic with a very powerful drug based on their own self-diagnosis. Then, she wants more.” Laura Perry after she left the trans lifestyleĪnd so it is in today’s environment of hip sexual ambiguity where large numbers of impressionable girls follow transgender social-media gurus who tout the euphoria testosterone produces. Her school encourages her, keeping all this a secret from her parents. At first, she tries out a new name and pronouns. Or her school holds an assembly celebrating gender journeys, or hosts a Gay-Straight Alliance club pushing gender ideology. She immerses in social media and discovers transgender gurus. Their stories follow a pattern: A girl never expresses any discomfort with her biological sex until puberty, when anxiety and depression descend. “I have interviewed over four dozen families whose teen daughters became caught in this current.
Littman’s subsequent investigation of this story included direct contact with these girls and led to an alarming conclusion: The statistical unlikelihood of this story intrigued Littman who happened to be from the same small town as this group of girls - all of whom were part of the same social group. In 2016, Littman was scrolling through social media when she noticed that a group of teen girls from Rhode Island had come out as transgender. This social template was recently encountered by Brown University public health researcher Lisa Littman. Shrier details a transgender slippery slope where teen or pre-teen girls go through the age-old emotional seesaw of puberty, but otherwise never experience any discomfort with their biological sex until they hear a coming-out story from a speaker at an LGBT-sanctioned school assembly or discover the burgeoning Internet communities of trans “influencers.” In the words of author Abigail Shrier, there is a discernable “craze” among girls who are becoming convinced that their biology does not correspond to their gender identity.Īs the author of Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters, Shrier asserts this “craze” has both diminished womanhood and “greased the skids toward social and medical transition for confused teens in genuine pain.” Laura Perry lived as “Jake” for 10 years Where once this condition overwhelmingly affected males, today one sees the emerging phenomenon of intact social groups of young females in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country coming out together as “transgender.” The social ground has shifted in the current digital era and so has the nature of gender dysphoria. 01 percent of the population suffered from gender dysphoria, which usually began to emerge in childhood, afflicting males almost exclusively.īut now there is a reordering of society to accommodate this increasingly common condition and entire institutions - universities, major corporations and law firms, Big Tech and the entertainment-media establishment, to name a few, are aligned behind the idea of gender-fluidity. This condition was once extremely rare among the advanced industrial-consumerist societies. Take gender dysphoria, which is the alienation and discomfort with one’s biological sex. What was once self-evident by the social conventions of every human society in world history or established by scientific consensus is now subject to reinterpretation by social engineers in our elite institutions.
