Transgender and gender-questioning teenagers are more likely than their peers to engage in risky sexual behavior, commit suicide and be the victims of bullying, according to new medical research.
The study by Vanderbilt University researchers Gilbert Gonzales and Cameron Deal found that transgender and questioning teenagers reported experiencing bullying, sexual and dating violence, mental health problems, suicidal tendencies, risky sexual behaviors, and drug and alcohol abuse at higher levels than that of their peers.
And more transgender students reported these health disparities than their gender-questioning peers.(Snip)Of the 197,149 teenagers surveyed, 96.6% said they identified with the gender of their biological sex. Only 1.8% of high school students

So much for the Biden regime's claim that laws agains 'transitioning' young children is 'denying life-saving medical treatment'.

The same claims were made about gays way back when. It never stops. "We have to normalize whatever or they'll feel bad about themselves." Well, maybe they should.

File this under No Shiite, Sherlock.
I pray that this current fad fades away before too many more young people either die or irreparably damage themselves.

The OBvious truth about the people attempting to redefine us as God created us and denying what they really are is they are perverts and deviants. Let's just keep it real.

Homicide is more frequent among homosexuals; Killing one's self is more common among homosexuals; Transgender and gender-questioning teenagers are more likely than their peers to engage in risky sexual behavior, commit suicide and be the victims of bullying, according to new medical research.
The homosexual lobby tries to portray themselves as normal. They are mentally ill and fall into the category of abnormal. How long will be have to pretend that these individuals are normal?

Not the first study, nor will it be the last. The LGBTQ lifestyle isn't for most people, but they are indoctrinating children to get acceptance. It won't work. Reality gets in the way.

The late Thomas Szasz said that mental illness is a housing issue.
Transgenders are looking for Mr or Ms Right to take care of them.
In the body they adopt they can never attract that person.
So, all the mental health issues.
Schools, by making this happen even younger, are opening these confused souls up to exploitation by sexual predators like Ed Buck.

Bullying? Like forcing the rest of us to affirm their mental illness by using their chosen pronouns at the risk of being cancelled if they don't comply? Sounds like they're perpetrators of bullying to me, even if they experience bullying by others....

I've posted this before about my then 22yr. old grandson who took his own life after a butcher mutilated him. This was over 5yrs ago and I still think of him everyday. It's even worse because his mother cut all contact with him when he was about 11yrs old. So I don't know what happened to him during those years. I reached out to her twice but she never answered me. We did nothing to disrespect her and up until then we included him in family gatherings. I kept hoping that someday there would be a knock on my door and when I opened it he would be standing there smiling and saying...'Hi grandma.'

#14, that's the saddest thing I've read in a long time. I truly feel your pain. These poor souls are truly sinned against.

Yes, it's because they are insane, literally. They need mental health treatment, not other crazy fools telling them that they are "normal".

Given all of the pressure they are receiving from LGBTQ activists to "be their true selves " and live a gay life loud and proud. Maybe they just want to figure it out themselves and live a quiet normal life without all of the trappings associated with the LGBTQ mob.

This is further proof that these individuals have some serious mental health issues. They are weak and susceptible to being influenced by a community known for preying on kids who are confused and seeking answers. However, the trans community only has one answer to any question and that is you are in the wrong physical body. The internet plays a huge part in the explosion of questioning your sexual identity. Kids are vulnerable and curious and individuals are more than ready and willing to push them in a direction that is so harmful to them. So many kids want attention and they will get it if they proclaim they are transgender. It is like a badge of courage they bestow on themselves that is enabled and supported by far too many who should know better. What were the misfits in school has now become the trans community. They bolster one another and it is a form of rebellion that some teens just are drawn to. There also is a self-righteous aspect of it. They feel superior because they are so open, tolerant and loving when, in fact, they are walking into a horrific mental prison and far too often physical mutilation that will destroy them.
This is a matter that parents must grapple with as soon as children understand the difference between boys and girls. They must reinforce their sexual identity and cannot allow the seed to be planted that they may look one way but really be something else. Children have vivid imaginations that carry throughout their early years. They believe they are Batman, a Princess, a Unicorn, a dragon or whatever peaks their curiosity. It is not hard to convince them they are a different sex, it is just an abomination for anyone to put that into their heads.
Parents who do this are committing child abuse. They are for whatever reason planting an idea into a little mind that cannot fully process it. It is a parent’s obligation to encourage and enable their children to understand that sex is settled at birth for the vast vast majority of people. It is not fluid. It is a fact. Those who would confuse a small child or even a teen are predators at worst and groomers at best. This vile social construct is harmful and until parents understand what the consequences are, their desire to be trendy and have a trans child will destroy their child. It is a truly awful existence that leads so many times to suicide and more than likely a very troubled life. We as parents must step in and be the anchor that children need and that means directing them toward reality and away from wishful thinking.

Might explain why they want to get their privates cut off. Self-medicating, like drunks do.

Stop the presses: mentally ill people display evidence of mental illness. Study also shows the collective folly of transgenderism is far less common than claimed in the Marxist media, so expect much more government-sponsored promotion of it in the future, as this is fundamental to the collapse of Trans America.
