Earlier this year, a team of NHS researchers was asked to investigate why there has been such a huge rise in the number of adolescent biological girls seeking referrals to gender clinics. (Snip) Last year, there were more than 5,000, which was twice the number in the previous year. And the largest group, about two-thirds, now consisted of “birth-registered females first presenting in adolescence with gender-related distress”, the report said. The review team is looking into the causes behind “the considerable increase in the number of referrals” and the changing case mix, but is not expected to publish any findings

5 years from now they will feel lied to and angry. Taking the drugs will leave them infertile and if they destroy their bodies unable to nurse and children if they did not take the drugs. Either way they will NEVER vote for dems who lied to and encouraged them and probably unable to have children who will vote dem.

Could it be that girls are just generally more trusting, gullible, uninformed and prone to the latest fads and peer pressure than boys??? Asking for a friend.

Teenagers are easily influenced. The teachers are making them feel hip and special. It’s intoxicating. But it’s not hip and special. It is evil, dangerous and demeaning. These teachers are demented and evil. The future for these teenagers is being destroyed so the liberals can play politics. It’s sickening.

In this insane world, is it crazy to think that this is a plot to destroy the fabric of our society and our breeding stock at the same time?

Girls are particularly body conscious. I remember those days of agonizing over any imperfection (could not care less now!). Girls can be unhappy and be lured into thinking a big change solve the problem. Every medical professional who treats a teen with irrevocable procedures and dangerous drugs should be liable for huge lawsuits when the girls become unhappy adults.

This is how you depopulate the planet. Get rid of the breeding females by getting them to agree to destroy their ability to reproduce.

The same reason girls nowadays dye their hair bright pink and get a nose ring.
Science also tells us children's brains are not fully developed until the early 20s.

SOMEBODY paid MONEY for this? From a former adolescent female and the mother of 2 daughters, I can tell you it's pretty obvious - growing up often just plain sucks for girls.

Teens, especially teenage girls are really into fads. Right now, the latest fad is questioning one's sex. This fad however ruins your life FOREVER. That this whole thing seems to affect girls more than boys is odd, since the schools and media have spent the better part of almost forty years jumping on the promote girls bandwagon at the expense of boys.

So much of the "women's movement" is directed by Ivy-league lesbians, like Hillary Clinton, Randi Weingarten, Elena Kagan, Donna Brazil. These people do not like being women and they preach that females can be just like men. That is where it starts and then it seeps into the culture with liberal teachers and through Hollywood. If you think schools are not full of LGBT radicals, you are not paying attention.

It's because the teachers' unions have become infested with aggressive homosexuals who are actively and openly recruiting as early as kindergarten for their next generation of victims. Think of public schools these days as the Department of Pubic Works.

The "depopulationists" are behind the explosion, of course; the same as they are behind the LGBT etc free-fall. And some grinning depopulationist is giving thanks.

Is this happening because girls are more prone to the latest fads and peer pressure than boys? Is it because God has been removed from the family? Is it because girls are particularly body conscious? Hard to say since my personal experience is a sample size of only one.
My nephew was raised in an intact, loving, Christian home. He was involved in his church, went on mission trips . . . was totally into his faith his whole young life. Until he got sucked into this "gender dysmorphia" stuff in his late teens. Definitely body conscious, he was a tall, big-boned, masculine guy who spent a LOT of time online. Parent approved gaming transitioned into more violent games as he got older which was followed by absorption in a social media and faux online friendships that find common cause with other susceptible psyches . His evolving belief that "women had it easier" combined with the opinions of his disembodied online family curated a warped solution for a teenage boy going through the angst of trying to become a man.
Always loved and supported to the Nth degree, he lacked nothing in terms of what "good" parents should provide their children. The only thing they didn't give him was money to mutilate or medicate himself with hormones. He eventually "transitioned" after a substantial effort at counseling over the years. He got what he wanted. And then he killed himself with a common preservative used to cure meat.
If you think you know why this is happening to our children, please write a book telling us the cure. We'd love to know. Apparently good parenting, an intact family, and an active faith in God aren't the silver bullet you might imagine.

Well, only the demoncraps, Ftards, libs and assorted nut balls are indulging in this passing fancy.
They are thinning their own ranks so it works for me. Let them press On!
Be prepared for skyrocketing murders across this country in the coming years as the brats realise what has been done to them. Parents, doctors, indoctrinators... none of them will be safe from the wrath of the remorse of the mutilated. Yet further thinning their own ranks.
Looks like a win win to me!
Here's hoping it becomes a reality TV show I would definitely tune in.
Popcorn and beer at the ready.
And the award for most grizzly murder of an enabling virtue signalling screwed up set of breeders goes to...
Winner winner chicken dinner!
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Puberty is more difficult for girls than it is for boys. (And guys, unless you’ve ever sat in a middle school desk among your highly critical peers and suddenly found blood running down your leg, I don’t want any argument.) They are also more prone to peer pressure. Being trans is the “in” thing these days and teenage girls feel tremendous (self inflicted) pressure to be “in”.

My husband has 2 friends who are raving Ftards. They are pro all this nonsense. One is a high paid shrink, the other worked creating text book content for schools. They have never met each other. They are scornful of traditional conservative life and views.
Guess what...both have male offspring who have decided they want to be female. The shrink will not talk about it and becomes visibly uncomfortable if it is casually brought up and says "I don't want to talk about it ". BIG GIANT PROPONENT OF ALL THINGS LEFTARD.
The other one is a real prize. Another GIANT PROPONENT OF ALL THINGS LEFTARD. Thinks it's great, every justification in the world... no problem at all with it... until he's had a couple. Then the truth comes out. Admitted it ain't what is was cracked up to be and admitted to crying when he took his son to have a dicectomy.
Ask me where my sympathy meter is pinging...

It’s trendy and constantly pushed by the Democrat/media establishment to make money.
Makes them money, now and for future medical care and psych care for repair of damage.
They’ll be damaged and probably childless and troubled, making them lifetime democrat voters.
And it helps with the great replacement, as mainly white kids are targeted for this.
Win,win,win for the Democrats, who fight the real war against women.

Everybody remember the terrible "scourge" of anorexia/bulimia we went through a decade or so ago? How about "cutting"? Now what group of highly suggestible, hormonally unbalanced, mentally and physically vulnerable human beings were most affected by these things? Yup, adolescent females. Where are all those poor "victims" now? We don't hear much from or about them, because they generally matured out of their temporary psychological problems and their peculiar "malady" stopped attracting attention, so it no longer served a purpose for them. Flash forward to today. What group of human beings is most subject to the "transgender" craze? Go ahead, guess; I bet you know the answer. Anyone who has lived with or raised a female of the human species knows that they are emotionally labile to an excessive degree, highly suggestible, prone to caving under peer pressure while exhibiting an high degree of approval-seeking and conformity to group norms. Only a very small number of these so-called "transgendered" adolescents have anything like that going on; they mostly are maladjusted teenagers who, given time to mature physically and emotionally would adapt to their biological sex. Of course, there is a large number of adult perverts who compose the "drag queen/transgender" cohort we hear from so often and so loudly. They are driving the bandwagon in order to obtain more victims upon whom they can eventually prey. They deserve to be chemically and surgically mutilated, then permanently incarcerated and separated out from society, all in the name of improvement of the species.

A frightening trend. And just a few years ago the number was close to zero.
TREND is the operative word there. Teenage girls are very susceptible to "peer pressure", "being included", & are therefore very prone to following "trends". Without responsible adults to steer them safely - at least until they are done physically developing - they are in for a lifetime of serious physical & emotional pains.
God help them & God help the USA.

Preteen girls seem to be highly suggestible. Keep in mind that this is in the UK where procedures are free. And available to all.

You wonder why? They keep pushing gender and sexual confusion in school and hammering on the transgender option and guess what happens, kids get suckered into it and the result is the goal of destruction of the family by destroying the children. This is all satanic demonic and a sin against Gods creations.

This “explosion” was developed in a study done in the UK. Of young people in the UK.
Are we going to assume the same is going on here? I don’t believe so,

There was a body-shaming craze where girls were becoming anorexic, some even dying, but obviously they had gotten the idea that the way their bodies were made was somehow bad, unacceptable, and even ugly. So they were starving themselves. Having the social networks and web and computer devices only accelerated the dissociative (if i may use that) behaviors. Maybe this phase in girls who are now grown with children are unwittingly impressing on their children the sense that they are not whole beings.
Instead of being taught that they were created by God with a special purpose, as individuals, and that while of equal value to boys, they are different from them, and vice versa, they have been being taught that they are the same, they are equal to boys. So it's good to be equal TO boys? What does that mean? When God created human beings, He made them Male and Female, different in order, but equal in His sight.
Teach them the value they have as individuals, beautifully unique. And teach the same to boys, that they will grow to be good and strong and to cherish the girls. Girls and boys need to respect themselves and each other, then we have more hope that they'll grow up to be good parents and good citizens.
This whole gender perversion is one of the cruelest exercises, rather, tortures inflicted on children, second only to the hideous Mengele experiments.
Parents need to fight back, fight for their children. Their Girl can NOT be a boy; nor a Boy a girl. I'd like to say "Snap out of it!" but I'm afraid too many parents and other adults have been brainwashed in this sort of era of mass psychosis.
