To me that shows that at least some of us have become more accepting, which means some of these kids have become more willing to come out of the closet rather than hide and commit suicide. The numbers were always there; but now it is less hidden. I say that’s a good thing. 

 These are ALL mental patients that are being undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

It’s either a cry for help, or a cry for attention. By the parents if the kids are younger than 12.

There is a combination of things happening.  More people are coming out because it has become more acceptable.  There is also a percentage of young people who are doing it because they are confused or they just want the attention.  It's the cool thing to do for some high schoolers.

No to the economy and war but trans issues are massively motivating. Reasonable people can disagree about climate/energy policy or foreign policy issues like Ukraine or such, I could see voting one way or the other on candidates over such things. But trans is a killer issuer with a glaring red line. People who support it are morally bankrupt and I will never vote for a trans-advocate for any position anywhere ever.

What is a “trans advocate”?  I thought the main issue was protecting the kids?  Is it moving to not being accepting of trans adults either?

[avoiding injuries 1,580]

I remember when kids turned to goth and painted their fingernails black when they needed attention. Now they’re cutting off their genitalia. 
It’s a lot easier to scrub with nail polish remover…

There is no such thing as being transexual in reality. Transexual is just another term for mentally ill. Sexual dysphoria brought to the extremes.

This is simply wrong in some parts, misleading in others. 
 

1. The public does NOT support Trump’s methods, especially deportation without due process and rounding up non-violent criminals. In fact it’s going 80-20 the other way. 
2. Liberals oppose defunding the police nearly 80-20 as well. 
3. Depends on the specifics. 
4. Not an issue that most people care about. 
5. Probably true but as the economy continues to crater nobody will give a damn. 
6. Depends on the specific. 
7. Like #1, simply wrong on this one. As you will discover the next time there is an election.

I view trans as something I don't really care about as long as the person deciding to be trans is not impacting anyone else.  If my neighbor is a cross dresser and likes to put on womens clothes and go out on friday night, cool. Good for him. If my neighbor decides he is trans and wans to get breast implants, cut off his junk, start taking hormones, etc... I really don't care. I could pretty much say the same thing about any hobby someone has.... 

Is trans a mental illness? ... are people who like to have sex with people dressed as furry animals mentally ill?  Or is it just a weird fetish?  I don't know and I really don't care. 

the problem with trans is that a group of people (mainly liberals) have decided to make it everyone elses problem. They always need a new group to be marginalized and scream for ________ rights, and trans became one of them. I dont hear anyone yelling about cross dressers rights or furries rights. 

And it obviously goes hand in hand with men in womens sports.  So when you have Brendan deciding he is now Brenda and deserves to play on the female collegiate golf team, now you're bothering other people and pushing your agenda onto others. Now we have to bring science and biology into the equation when it could have just been Brandan's personal hobby to be a woman. 

So yeah, it's about the trans adults as well.... since those are the ones trying to play sports or the ones going around baiting restaurant employees into calling them the wrong pronoun while filming their fake outrage, etc.

Starting on May 5 about 5 million deadbeats have to start paying their student loans after it was suspended during Covid.  Good.

Nailed it!

Libs are calling it Transphobia so that they can make it a "Republican's are evil" agenda when it's purely a women's rights / child welfare issue.  They can't allow that to be the issue because then they can't make the trans community a victimhood and capitalize on it.

No. We just laughed at Biden every time he fell on his ice cream covered face. And laughed when he couldn't manage to say words in the right order or even stammer out a coherent sentence.

[WhiteWonder 2,738]

I think one of the biggest things killing Dems/Liberals right now is that, when in doubt, they resort to looking for ANY sort of social issue to point at. It's almost all they have at this point. 

As another poster in this thread pointed out, the Democratic Party used to feel like the party of the middle class, working class (the majority). Now they just feel like the party of "marginalized minorities". And I think a lot of minority groups are finally wising up to the fact that its in Dems best interest to keep them feeling marginalized so they have a campaign platform.

So if your car is set on fire, that's a simple protest against someone? Oh, and bricks thrown at police, oh, and people in the cars that were set on fire, oh, and looting?  

Liberals try to win elections in odd ways. 

[EternalShinyAndChrome 4,106]

That these riots need to be put down. I would even classify them as an insurrection.
