The vast majority of gender-dysphoric children—studies find 80-95 percent—no longer feel distressed by their bodies after puberty.

Do most adults forget what it's like to feel uncomfortable and unsure about yourself when we're young? If any kid that has identity issues needs a medical intervention, every middleschooler is going to be rushed to the hospital.

As a culture, we've become so attached to the idea of being comfortable at all times that we forget that life isn't all happiness and rainbows. Bad things happen, we feel like crap from time to time, and that is all 100% perfectly normal and to be expected. Having an identity crisis is a part of growing up, not a sign that something is severely wrong. To act like every feeling of inadequacy, discomfort, sadness, or any other undesireable emotion is the direct result of evil that must be stopped is a harmful ideal to follow that will result in a never ending battle against human nature.

But that's exactly what the gender industry that's driving all these laws want!

The gender industry wants to exploit kids going through the normal confusion of youth - to railroad them into expensive, unnecessary and harmful experimental medical treatment for profit.

I put a link on this sub that was removed but it was to a market analysis that said that the gender affirmation industry, or whatever they're calling it now, is going to be worth $1.5 billion dollars by 2026.

So much of this is about money made off of transitioning, but there's also something more sinister going on - we are being forcibly detached from our sense of biological sex - for what reason?
