A "trans kid" is like a 'vegan cat': Mothers of "trans" boys are eight times as likely as controls to have borderline personality disorder.

BPD is known to be inherited at around 55% of cases. The same percentage applies to autogynephilia being inherited.

It's likely trans status comes from having a personality disorder inherited from a parent rather than being brought up by someone with a personality disorder.

Over 80% of trans people have a personality disorder.

Along maternal lines....

Even so rate of 53 per cent contrasted with 6 is unusually high given that a high chance of inheritance in people diagnosed with BPD doesn't mean a high rate of people actually inheriting BPD through genetic factors. Having a 55% rate of inheritance for instances of BPD doesn't mean that parents with BPD will pass it to their children in 55% of cases. I don't think we can put this down to this down to genetic factors being passed to children.
