There goes Iran's oil refineries. My money says Israel will pop a Nuke if the Ayatollahs keep this shit up.

Yeah pump them full of Prozac, ritalin, anxiety meds, ADD meds, etc and wonder why their heads aren't on straight.

This why parenting is so important so as to be close enough with their kids to identify these issues and address them ASAP. Most kids grow out of it, but others need professional assistance.

I wanted to be a fire truck, or army tank when I was 5.      

Quote from: Solar on April 13, 2024, 08:54:39 AMI've read the original study, but after reading it and fighting off sleep via boredom, as well as going through 3 other articles on the exact same study, I'm settling on the Zerohedge article, more concise and quicker to glean. You'll be glad I did.

Truth is, there is far more wrong with these kids than simple gender issues and they need our help.
Remember back when anorexia or cutting were a thing?

When I was in school, it was getting knocked up by guys heading off to Nam, or stealing, that was it.
Now these kids are creating attention grabbing issues so as to be "Spetchal".

Landmark Study Reveals 'Transgender' Kids Actually Have Other Mental Health Diagnoses

Fresh off the heels of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics announcing that it would not allow transgender-identified men to compete in women's athletic events in any of its association's 239 small private schools, a landmark study was released on Wednesday that defies the hysterical warning that if gender dysphoric adolescents don't receive "gender-affirming care," they will kill themselves.

The new study from British pediatrician Dr. Hilary Cass confirms what we've always known: Children presenting with sudden onset gender dysphoria are actually suffering from other mental health diagnoses—not true gender dysphoria. Her research debunks the gender ideologues' frequent talking point: that the imposition of medical "gender-affirming care" on mentally ill children is not only necessary, but life-saving.

Cass' research instead reveals that children who think they are transgender disproportionately have mental health issues stemming from a difficult family situation or domestic abuse. They are also more likely to be neurodiverse and have a co-morbid autism spectrum disorder.

Cass reveals that "gender affirming" medical interventions would not remedy any of these psychological issues. Effectively using such interventions would mean turning a blind eye to the real underlying psychological distress with which gender-confused children often struggle.

Cass' groundbreaking report reveals that mental health therapy is the best approach for gender-dysphoric children, rather than rushing to put them on hormones or puberty blockers or performing mutilating and irreversible surgeries.

Do you believe that the amount of medication and other substances have led to this?
