The number of trans teens is miniscule

Why are they front page news?

It's the new front in the culture wars, that's way.

by Anonymousreply 1January 7, 2025 10:31 PM

in the scheme of things gay bashings are pretty rare too.

by Anonymousreply 2January 7, 2025 10:35 PM

Discussing this is literal murder!

by Anonymousreply 3January 7, 2025 10:46 PM

It's a distraction from the vastly more urgent, difficult issues (the economy, wars, taxation, health care, the environment, etc.).

I wonder why they didn’t break it down by year?

I feel so badly for plain women these days. Half the time I can't decide if they just have hit by a fence post face or they're a man trying to pass.

by Anonymousreply 6January 7, 2025 10:59 PM

Because it's a psyop meant to disenfranchise the left and distract the working class from organizing around economic/labor justice.

by Anonymousreply 7January 7, 2025 11:01 PM

Because conservatives like to scapegoat minorities. They exaggerate the number of trans people to make it seem as if they are "taking over"

by Anonymousreply 8January 7, 2025 11:04 PM

R2, They're more common than trans murders or suicides.

Yet they aren't front page news and don't make a ripple at all anywhere

Why has this become the civil rights movement 2.0 amongst white leftists if the number is so small?

by Anonymousreply 10January 7, 2025 11:12 PM

It's easy to make the left look crazy on this issue, so the right is exploiting it.

by Anonymousreply 11January 7, 2025 11:12 PM

The left does themselves no favors by promoting this shit as "brave and stunning ".

Apparently bravery is a guy with a beard in a ball gown walking the red carpet. It used to be the guys who landed in Iwo Jima.

R10 Because they are determined to be on "the right side of history" and be allies. No questions asked and no counter points are to be considered because only facists/racists/Trumpers would ever be anything but 100% supportive of the trans rights movement even if that includes sex change operations for 14-year olds.

just like the trans activists took over the gays, the nonbinary lunatics took over the trans.

Was the focus on conversion therapy also a distraction from the vastly more urgent, difficult issues?

by Anonymousreply 18January 8, 2025 12:03 AM

R17 There maybe few teen trans because their parents didn't send them to doctors who pumped them with drugs at ten. If you "think" you're the opposite sex, wait until your of legal age (18) to make the decision. Jazz Jennings is victim of a mother who couldn't get son, Jaron, to be a girl fast enough. Today Jazz is an emotional mess.

Which is why it’s so appealing to kids. It gets them lauded. Then you have Anette Bening up there on stage saying that the most interesting thing about her is that she has a trans child. Mothers also love this shit. Munchhausen’s by proxy.

R23 the activists have consisently pushed for zero age limits on any of these trans-related surgeries and medications (puberty blockers). You're falling into the trap of not seeing the truth because you think it's too outragerous to be true. But it is true!

by Anonymousreply 25January 8, 2025 12:54 AM

Funny thing. I distinctly remember one presidential candidate carpet bombing social media with absolute shrieking horseshit about how his opponent would force teenagers to transition against their parent's wishes.

(which she never did.)

And winning because of it.

"Both sides" my hairy Irish ass.

R13 America's history has included putting 12 & 14 years old to death

so why aren't they old enough to fix their own bodies if possible?

by Anonymousreply 34January 8, 2025 7:09 AM

[quote] so why aren't they old enough to fix their own bodies if possible?

They’re not old enough to consent to sex but they’re old enough to consent to castration?

by Anonymousreply 35January 8, 2025 7:15 AM

^ Those under 18 don't have any kids taken away from them (when they procreate under the age of 18)

so if they're clearly old enough to raise kid/s then why aren't they allowed to fix their bodies?

Also, US kids can get emancipated from their parents too so...

OP it’s something the rightwing has been doing in America since Reaganism. Social media added her fuel to the fire.

Defacto does it here constantly. It’s the logical fallacy of “faulty generalization.”

In other words, “look here’s a crime that happened on the nyc subway. Liberal cities are therefore dangerous failures.”

Here it’s “we are sterilizing and annihilating a generation of youth — THANKS DUMBOCRATS!!!” because ten kids got hormones.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not pro crime and I am given pause by sex change in minors. But we can see the way they try to build a condemnatory argument based on individual events. And people who aren’t very bright fall for it.

I suspect transgender surgery and meds will be phased out soon. State by state will outlaw it. I can't imagine Trump will allow it much longer.

It is a buzz word hot button issue they use to ignite their base. Here in Ohio they constantly ran anti-sherrod brown ads saying he voted for men in teen girls lockerroom and competing in high school sports...(he didn't btw they just flat out lied). Honest to god there are people who post all the time about God fearing Trump stopping boys being changed into girls in schools - like it was happening all the time. These idiots who gave him power are dumb as shit.
