[quote=Anonymous]It appears many middle and high schools, as well as colleges around the US and UK are experiencing an exponential rise in female to male transition.  I know of 6 girls who identify as boys in my dd’s high school and that’s just the ones I personally know in grades 9 and 10 (50 girls per grade in a private school).  All of these girls were typical females at least in dress and interests until 1-3 years ago depending on the girl. These ftm kids still go with girls to the mall, fawn over cute puppies, and act the same as prior to coming out  except they dress like boys and sit like boys and seem like clones in the way they dress, walk and talk. They are now competing to see who gets puberty blockers or testosterone first and the ones whose parents won’t allow it until they are older and more mature are being treated as outcasts and cruel by their kids and by some other parents who have no idea how unnatural this is for their child and totally out of the blue (not tomboys as younger kids). I’m just wondering how many schools in the DC area are affected? There are lots of articles about this and a lot of controversy. I am very concerned about girls these days and what is driving this. I’m not anti trans for adults just seems like these kids are being influenced by peers and social media and I’m worried it’s being seen as a human rights and LGBT rights issue rather than a teen girl psychological issue. Many of these girls are gifted intellectually or are autistic. [/quote]
