[quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty confident 90+% of the "trans" girls into boys will revert back to being women someday. They'll grow out of it.

There was a very well written article by an Irish woman who talked about when she was a teenage she spent several years feeling very masculine and even thinking she was more a boy and dressed like one and behaved like one. Then one day she effectively snapped out of it and realized she was really a woman and actually liked being a woman. The premise of her article was that if she'd been a teen today she could have been encouraged to go through the treatments, which would have been damaging in the long run.

The reason I don't place much merit into most of the self described trans is because if this was a real phenomena we would have seen a lot more of it in the past. A lot more. And we'd also see many more older adults "coming out". But that's not the case. And that's what makes it different from homosexuality. I'm 100% sure that mass media and cultural influences are encouraging some girls to trick themselves into being trans as they seek an alternative lifestyle or an excuse for their teen frustrations. Teen frustration is nothing new, as we all know. I can remember girls from my school days who wanted to be alternative and went through a spell of what we'd now consider gender fluid and who, had they been alive today, would likely declare themselves trans, and guess what, they're all now happily female and married with children.
