The contrast to Jennifer’s own childhood was staggering, “Where were all these trans kids who were not allowed to be their true selves when I was in school in the 1980s? There were no suicides in my high school. We have to question why this is suddenly happening.”

Wow what a great article I feel like every parent needs to read this. Its so easy with social media to get sucked right in to any group its just unfortunate that this one is life altering. Not a little dyed hair and a few edgy piercings.

This is why every parent needs to read this account, there were NEVER this many 'trans kids' in history, and its not because gluts of children have thought they were the other gender.

Tomboys and Karendudes have existed since the beginning of time, but they were NOT people who were born with this socalled 'gender disphoria'. It's children who are being peer pressured by other students, AND their teachers into becoming something they're not. If it isnt okay for these teachers to talk to 12 year olds about how they have sex, why is it okay for them to be telling these children ABOUT their sexuality/wrongly born genders and taking hormones?
