Keep in mind that just because your daughter likes to play with trucks does not mean that she is transgender. However, if your child consistently displays a strong preference for things that don’t conform to gender expectations, it could be something to keep an eye on.
How did we regress from “let your kid do what they want, they don’t need to conform to gender norms” to “if your kid does something typically associated with the other gender, they probably actually are that gender”?
Listen carefully, bucko. This may be the last piece of advice you will read before you delve into the realm of bigotry and hatred. At the speed at which your mental health is deteriorating, you may not stay around for long.
Your desire for media that portrays people getting killed in intricate and celebratory ways represents the inner darkness that you have been cultivating for the last few years. The involuntary facade of happiness that you have been putting on every time you were in public put a hit out on your mental fortitude, capacity for common decency and success-sustaining behaviour in general.
There is not much time before you are gone, so here's my advice, bucko. Identify the traumas that have caused damage to your sense of belonging within the society. Mitigate the damage through break down and analysis of those traumas. Fill the void with physically and mentally challenging activities.
And unlike it was with lobotomy where you have to purposefully seek private accounts of doctors being too enthusiastic with ice-picks, this shit is out in the open and preserved forever on public internet!
It is estimated that about 0.005% to 0.014% of people assigned male at birth and 0.002% to 0.003% of people assigned female at birth would be diagnosed with gender dysphoria
It's because there's been a slight of hand. The work of feminists since the 60s was to convince people that sex(anatomy, phisiology, material) is seperate from gender(social roles, mind). They then go ahead and blur the shit out of the distinction between the two and conflate them casually. It's the main reason TERFS are a thing.
That doesn't contradict the existence of the innate desire to identify and perform culture-specific gender (or be attracted to it - if you believe that gay is real then trans is real too).
I see your point. It's interesting, but I don't agree. I think we can say with confidence now that, prior to any cultural influence, girls tend to like dolls and boys like trucks. Of course there is some overlap, which I call the diversity of personalities (there are a lot of ways to be a boy/girl and that's fine). If, later, one makes a culturally informed decision to reject the day's male-identified activities (up to and including extreme rejection: blowing other dudes, mimicking opposite gender stereotypes), then congrats, he's found another way to be a dude. In either case, what people call "trans" is not some immutable cornerstone of identity, but just the wild exaggeration of quirky personality and disaffinity towards the day's fashion. I understand the appeal of the label; every person wants to be the hero fighting for a cause. It's no coincidence that this whole trans fad exploded just at the moment when Western societies lost any real problems to worry about.

Hol up, if you freely admit that certain personality traits are biologically determined and sex-linked, then when the mechanism that produces them works wrong and gives a person all such traits of the opposite sex, on what grounds do you say that they aren't it then?
If, later, one makes a culturally informed decision to reject the day's male-identified activities
I'm making a different argument: "innate" and "culturally informed" do not exhaust the space of possibilities, a baby can have an innate drive to determine which socially constructed traits are assigned to which gender in its society and then imprint on them for attracting suitable mates and for getting attracted to suitable mates. Either or both of which can go wrong (tho if we believe Blanchard in HSTS those go wrong together and AGP are a different thing entirely).

This but unironically, if a child of mine of either sex started wearing rainbow socks I'd make sure they wouldn't be able to reproduce.

I cannot wait until the day they find the mechanism that causes this. I can’t believe a mental health disorder is celebrated this much.

It was originally for intersex people that had their sex assigned via surgery, but other trannies made it all about them, as usual.
