Gender dysphoria, the underlying diagnosis of "trans," is a mental illness. It's a complex of multiple mental disorders. Typically depression, body image issues, and another anxiety or identity disorder. This has been healthily dealt for decades with talk therapy and parsing of issues until someone decided to embrace mental illness instead of biological reality. Gender is the skin of biological structure. The fact that biological reality of genetics is even up for fucking debate shows how insane our society has become. Crossdressing is a fetish and always has been.
One of my children embraced this and mutilated himself. The pain is real. When a doctor can hide a study that doesn't support the current thing, we're in real trouble. This was my closest child and he hid this journey from me then largely told my wife and I how it was going to be. It was a fait accompli and I was a transphobe for wanting to talk about things.

I think there needs to be A LOT more discussion around uninvolved parenting here.

I am sorry that happened to you.
If I ever figure out who indoctrinated my son, God help them.
It’s also a social contagion. Especially the girls wanting to be boys. Look no further than your taxpayer supported public schools.
