[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for a mid tier city where people are mostly apolitical and for fun like to do sports or have family picnics and not go to the gun range or to protests. [b]Where most people are happy with the sex they were born with respect the other sex.[/b] Where the religious and political extremism is toned down closer to zero and people are just trying to be productive and enjoy life. Does this exist in the US? How about outside of it?[/quote]

Where do I go to find more than 50% of people that are trans? That sounds like fun.[/quote]

My kid went through HS in Montgomery county and the number of her friends who were trans or some flavor of that was absolutely mind-blowing.  Obviously not 50% but easily approaching 20%.  I’ve often wondered where this obvious social-contagion came from.  Was it the schools?  Parents?  No idea, but it’s insane.  [/quote]

I don’t think this is a big deal.

1) Being a girl in middle school sucks. No wonder they want to find a new path.

2) everyone experiments with identity stuff at that age, to varying degrees. For some portion of them, this is just some version of that.

3) I don’t see why it hurts anyone especially because I doubt more than a tiny portion of those girls are doing any kind of hormone or body modification[/quote]

#1 is the specific reason why it alarms me, because I think for many girls it is a reaction to puberty and realizing that becoming a woman means becoming someone subject to misogyny, which sucks. While it is understandable, it's also alarming -- I don't want girls to feel like the best path is to simply deny their womanhood altogether. I get the decision on an individual level, I worry about it on a social level when so many girls feel like the only way to deal with becoming women is to simply deny that it is happening at all.
