Reports: Schools’ transgenderism push has suicidal side effects
by WorldTribune Staff, June 16, 2022 The suicide rate for transgender youth has increased in states where minors have access to hormones and puberty blockers without parental consent, according to new research. “Starting in 2010, when puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones became widely...www.worldtribune.com
“Starting in 2010, when puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones became widely available, elevated suicide rates in states where minors can more easily access those medical interventions became observable,” said Jay P. Greene, senior research fellow at Heritage’s Center for Education Policy, the study’s author.
Evidence supporting the use of puberty blockers in children struggling with gender identity is of ‘very low’ quality, critics say.
The study, published on June 13, found that from 2010-20 the suicide rate spiked by 1.6 per 100,000 residents ages 12-23 in states where minors don’t need their parents’ permission to undergo routine medical care. That represents a 14% increase in the suicide rate in states with more lenient policies. Before 2010, the two groups of states “did not differ in their youth suicide rates,” the study said.

Soh continued: “Young people are particularly incentivized to claim they are transgender or a gender other than male or female, especially if they are white or heterosexual, because it lends them credibility on the intersectionality scale. Latching on to some form of minority status, no matter how frivolously, allows a person to switch sides from being considered a genocidal oppressor to an oppressed ally.
“The best part about ‘nonbinary’ or ‘genderfluid’ identities is they are easily adopted, and no one is allowed to question their validity. For those who are looking to score sympathy points or gain social capital, third-gender identities are a relatively easy way to opt in. The fact that a larger percentage of 18- to 29-year-olds say they are ‘nonbinary’ than transgender speaks to this. I can’t say I’m surprised that more time spent within the halls of academia is associated with a deeper familiarity with this ideology. It’s also one thing if adults choose to endorse beliefs untethered to reality.”

And there ya go right there...the last two paragraphs above. These kids are not trans....they are attention seekers.
waiting for some leftist on here to tell me i didn't read the article in 3.....2.........
“…young people are being seduced by many lies to get them to join into this social experiment. Here are some examples: Transitioning will make you no longer depressed; puberty blockers are completely reversible; gender affirmation will keep you from being suicidal; and gender affirmation surgery will solve all your maladies.
The end goal of “transitioning” is to help the gender dysphoric person be “happy,” but it doesn’t actually address the underlying issues.
Generally when a young person is suffering from depression or harmful thoughts, the last thing they need is to be lied to. They need people to tell them the truth, people who care enough to walk with them through their struggles and get to the underlying issues, be they mental, emotional, or otherwise.
“Transgenderism” is a community, and that seems to be what a lot of these teens are looking for, especially if they are white. Our current culture tells us that if you are white and straight then you are a hated privileged class and fair game for discrimination. Identifying as another gender or as a sexual identity gives them that status in society of being oppressed and therefore protected. It provides a community of peer pressure, though that ultimately leads these children down paths they did not intend to tread in their search for happiness.”
