Considering the transgender topic hasn't degraded into a bunch of claims about implying/inferring of things that were never said here like other topics, it might be worthwhile to look at a simple video explanation.

 I've known Sabine for years and while most of her stuff was originally physics based, she has done a great job showing how a physicist approach, using data, can apply to pretty much anything.

 This video is titled "Is being trans a social fad among teenagers?" I recommend watching the entire thing.

I have this woman’s YouTube channel saved and I’ve seen quite a few. I know her to strongly lean left when it comes to political views but she at least admits her bias.

My takeaway from this video, as the grandfather of a young girl who is very popular with her peers and seemingly could go to birthday parties she’s invited to eve weekend is:

The fact that diagnosed gender disphoria has skyrocketed in girls seems to proved social contagion. Girls are far more social than boys. As a father of both a boy and girl, I’ve witness first hand the difference between the sexes as they grow up. Boys and girls are different not because they act like others in their chosen group, they choose those groups because the members of that group act similarity. That’s important to understand.

And the fact girls are claiming disphoria proves a large percentage of behavior is driven by sex seems to be ignored. If girls were really boys, wouldn’t they act like a boy and be far less open in expressing themselves to their peers?

The other takeaway is the fact the number of clinics have likewise skyrocketed is another demonstration of “if you build it, they will come.”

This has been turned into a political club and young girls are the casualties.

Now, here’s a video for you to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSGgR3W_jjg

Tell me you didn’t watch the whole video without telling me…..

If you did, if you learned anything, is that statistics and even research papers that are supposedly scientific and nature are less than reliable. An article from Newsweek, which clearly has established a left-leaning, political agenda is meaningless.

And I bet you did not watch the video link I posted either.

You are really turning into quite the drive-by shooter.

So maybe politics should stay out of it and leave the issue to families and doctors?
I think that's been the Left view all along.

Same with abortion.

This is not a Right vs Left issue... it's a concocted Right issue.
The Left just says STFU
And due to the Right Wing's animosity toward trans and gay people in general, I don't see their concern here as genuine.  It's just a way to pump up ire in the voter base.  The Right runs on hate.
And you'll deny it... but look at you.  
Suddenly you're concerned for the welfare of people you don't want to allow to use the bathroom.

They made Being a Boy just Wrong.
But it's okay if you can't even see the history of your very own life.
Who doesn't see everything I just laid out?

 Did you watch the video I posted?  The overwhelming amount of humans transitioning are female to male.  The majority are trying to be boys.

Nice theory but... there have been gay and trans people for millennia.

Testosterone is Not dropping?
We Don't have chemicals in the food supply that screw up hormones?

 I have not seen conclusive evidence that testosterone is dropping among the age groups indicated in the video, but I can not say for sure.

 Yes there are chemicals in food and other locations that damage hormones.

 
 The question I have is if "They made Being a Boy just Wrong." wouldn't the outcome be more boys transitioning to girls?  Using the content of the video, that you may or may not have bothered to watch, the question is if transgender transition is a fad among youth.  The overwhelmingly larger group are girls becoming boys.

 This would contradict the effectiveness of "They" making it Wrong to be a Boy.  It's not working, tons of kids want to be boys.
