The research found that some kids say they are transgender just to be "cool".

Does that mean that every person whose name is Mr. Black, Mrs. White, and Ms. Brown have to change their name also?

It's not a mental disorder.

Actually, transgenderism is a mental disorder. It is called gender identity disorder or more recently as gender dysphoria.

Actually, the WHO reclassified it. It simply doesn't fit the criteria. It is only a disorder if it harms the sufferer. Transgenderism doesn't.

Unless you consider a suicide rate of 41% which I would consider harmful. No matter how you classify it, transgenderism is purely mental as there are no physical biological changes. A transgender woman is not a woman.

Wow really. It's maybe because of prejudice and discrimination. It must suck to be expressing yourself and have people screaming how you have a disorder and are a sin.

Don't know the reason, but it doesn't change the fact that transgenderism is a mental condition and not a biological change. A man can not be a woman.

No, somebody who claims to be a gender they weren't born as, then surgically changes their gender. They have a mental disorder, because they truly believe they're something they aren't. And people like you support them instead of getting them help.

That a number of teenagers claiming to be transgender, non-cisgender, and asexual, do not suffer that condition, but rather they are trying to be "cool". They also found that peer pressure and bullying was also a factor in people claiming to be transgender.

can you share a link?

The study itself has been removed from public access. Here is a link to the story about it. There are others sources for this as well.

This appears to only address a certain kind of trans person

What the original study found was that some teenagers who were claiming to be trans were in fact just trying to be "cool" and where not trans at all.

It also found that peer pressure and bullying were the reason some other teenagers claimed to be trans and again had nothing to do with actually having the condition.

Ok. I miss understood what you where saying I thought you were using this to make a statement on all trans people. My bad

Oh no, transgenderism is a real mental condition.
The problem is that with left saying how "wonderful" transgender people are, and all the attention on transgenderism, kids are thinking it is "cool" the be transgender. Not realizing this is a real and sometimes debilitating condition.

Yes, they're called "transtrenders".

And the fact is that transtrenders actually /harm/ the cause of genuine transgender people. They claim that gender is fluid, and you can be whatever you want, while /real/ transgenders have a hard enough time trying to get people to understand that they were born that way, that it's not a choice.
