Being trans is the new goth or edgelord atheist for zoomers. I thought I was such a badass as a kid for declaring myself an atheist. Same shit with child
s, but much gayer.

It's a social contagion. last decade it was depression and cutting, the decade before it was fashionable atheism, and every second teenage girl was convinced she was a bisexual, the decade before that it was eating disorders.

Cutting bisexuality and eating disorders never went out of fashion. Granted i might be biased because i specifically look for chicks with those traits

Part of me thinks it's all part of the never ending mission of every generation of kids to piss of their parents in some new way, but it's an escalating game - each new generation is fairly immune to whatever it did to piss off its parents, so each generation needs something more extreme and stupid than the one before it, swearing a lot, or drinking, or smoking weed, or listening to heavy metal, or getting a tattoo, or being an atheist just won't cut it anymore. Now
ism is mainstream, the next generation after zoomers are going to have to take it one step further... I predict they'll be amputating digits and limbs for 'cosmetic' reasons or something equally r-slurred.

Nothing against alt girls, but sticking your peepee in crazy is seldom worth it. I know the stereotype is that they're incredible in bed, but that's just a myth - some of the kinkiest girls I've dated seemed incredibly proper and respectable until you got in the bedroom with them.

But the kids aren't going to outgrow this "trend".
Their role models are trans, their online friends are trans, they have no IRL friends, they see how brutal the harassment is toward those who detransition, and any steps they take towards transitioning pushes them deeper into the sunk cost fallacy.
It's nothing like early internet childhood phases, it's more like joining a militant suicide cult.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Most of them will, or at least enough will to make it clear that the "detrans is extremely rare and should not be used to question someone's identity" is a lie. Going to college, entering the workforce, entering into long-term relationships that can lead to parenthood - these are the sorts of social disruptions that can be leveraged to make these sorts of changes even by extremely online people. Most transtrenders aren't on HRT or getting mastectomies or whatever so the costs of switching back are not that high.

Whilst there are a lot of factors keeping them on the tracks, there are ways to de-rail a locomotive. I've seen more than one ftm or enby just give up on all that shit and either re-become women or swap to a do-nothing surgey & hormone free form of non-binary once they met a dude they liked. Changing schools or jobs, or moving can cause this shift as well. I choose to hope that in a decade or so the only people stuck riding this train will be the folks that were inevitably going to be some flavour of insufferable, and if those folks castrate themselves I really don't care.

This is what's going to happen to most of them. They'll still claim to be "trans-adjacent" or whatever buzzword they come up with, but just like nonbinaries, they'll be cis for every practical purpose. Every practical purpose except their self-image, of course - spend a decade convincing yourself that being cis and hetero is at best boring and at worst outright evil and you'll never shed that attitude.

You're right kek, it's going to be like how many boomer hippies that were part of the New Left just never moved on, and right until the day they died they just kept on smoking pot and living in shitty vans or trailers, ranting and raving about the American Industrial complex and Reagan.
This whole trans thing is going to be a similar sort of thing as a subculture, and in forty years time you'll still see woke shit oldies going on about gender affirmation and racism non-stop.

lol, in 5-10 years the lawsuits over the puberty blockers will start rolling in, and that's when the crackdowns and disingenuous deflection from the media will begin. Money talks, when this isn't profitable anymore groomers will have to get their kicks in the shadows again.

I have some friends and they recently informed their friend circle that their 12 year old daughter came out as bisexual.
I really try not to offer parenting advice to other people as I don't have kids of my own but at the same time it's difficult not to get frustrated with obviously terrible parenting happening right in front of you.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Honestly I'd just be glad it's that and not trans. The kid is probably just doing it to fit in with their peer group and it doesn't involve body mutilation.
Though it is a little alarming to be happening at that age and not at, say, 15.

It is 100% this that is happening. She's too darn young to have a clue what she's talking about. Unfortunately public schools are full of dumb children with worthless parents doing everything they can to not be involved in their kids lives being groomed in groomercords at what I suspect is a much higher rate than people want to admit.

When I was 13 my dumb friends listened to Marilyn Manson and claimed they worshiped the devil in order to piss off their parents. Nowadays kids say they're non-binary. Every generation does this, they'll grow out of it eventually.

there is a funny irony that Zoomers and Boomers hate Marilyn Manson and Harry Potter, both for completely different reasons but listening to/reading those things is seen as equally bad by those two generations
