[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is trendy to be bisexual or admitting having mental illness among teenagers. [/quote]

+1 Depression/anxiety combined with questioning sexuality (as is very common at this age) seems to have now morphed into many many teen/tween girls identifying as "Trans." Girls are self diagnosing with the internet and then finding their way to influencers and message boards that make them feel safe and part of a community or movement. That sense of community/being part of a movement is extremely appealing to young, suggestible girls and while I'm supportive of children who are truly experiencing gender dysmorphia, there are far more girls who have simply adopted this identity because it's the thing to do. Maybe they don't identify with "girly girls" or hyper sexual teens on social media and think that must be because they are experiencing gender dysphoria. Maybe they are truly gay/bisexual, but that's so 1990s so trans it is.

It’s the new anorexia. It washes over groups of girls age 10-13 and they all copy each other down the trans rabbit hole. Only a few have to guts to get over the peer pressure and dig out later. Meanwhile, they can pick a new name, bind, have new trans friends groups online and at school, take some blockers, take some T. Don’t try to stop it you’ll be accused of being toxic and a —phobe.[/quote]
