Rapid Onset of Gender Dysphoria
The following is from this study and we wanted to share it here. Mind you, this was done in 2017 and published a year later. Here are the results.
There were 256 parent-completed surveys that met study criteria. The AYA children described were predominantly natal female (82.8%) with a mean age of 16.4 years at the time of survey completion and a mean age of 15.2 when they announced a transgender-identification. Per parent report, 41% of the AYAs had expressed a non-heterosexual sexual orientation before identifying as transgender. Many (62.5%) of the AYAs had reportedly been diagnosed with at least one mental health disorder or neurodevelopmental disability prior to the onset of their gender dysphoria (range of the number of pre-existing diagnoses 0–7). In 36.8% of the friendship groups described, parent participants indicated that the majority of the members became transgender-identified. Parents reported subjective declines in their AYAs’ mental health (47.2%) and in parent-child relationships (57.3%) since the AYA “came out” and that AYAs expressed a range of behaviors that included: expressing distrust of non-transgender people (22.7%); stopping spending time with non-transgender friends (25.0%); trying to isolate themselves from their families (49.4%), and only trusting information about gender dysphoria from transgender sources (46.6%). Most (86.7%) of the parents reported that, along with the sudden or rapid onset of gender dysphoria, their child either had an increase in their social media/internet use, belonged to a friend group in which one or multiple friends became transgender-identified during a similar timeframe, or both
To highlight:
THIS IS FROM 6 YEARS AGO! Imagine this now?
This is not normal. The explosion in gender dysphoria is extremely troubling. The isolation away from family and onto social media is a perfect storm that has created a social contagion.
What’s worse?
This is becoming COVID 2.0 or My Doctor is an NP 2.0.
How?
Studies are being buried or discredited showing that this is a psychological disorder. Anyone who questions this is being discredited or harassed. Somehow this has fallen on political lines and yet the science to back that as normal is scant. Studies that are somehow pro gender dsyphoria (transgenderism) are being propped up. The media (Hollywood, the press, advertisers) are in on it and pushing their narrative as hard as they can. Discussing this with virtue signalers or idealogues is impossible.
Sound familiar?
Repeat opioid crisis, or repeat of frontal lobotomy.
Mental health was a big problem with returning WW-2 veterans. All we had then was psychotherapy, major tranquilizers, and electroconvulsive therapy. Psychotherapy took a long time, and there wasn’t even a tiny fraction of the number of psychiatrists needed for that to be widely deployed. Electroconsulsive therapy could break bones. Paralyzing agents could be used, but about all they had at the time was long-acting curare for a short procedure. Succinylcholine was introduced commercially in 1951. Major tranquilizers……well, you know the problems.
Then along comes Walter Freeman MD with the frontal lobotomy. He was lobotomizing everyone, even small children. Hundreds died from the treatment, not known how many were made significantly worse by his treatment.
It’s a classic story of “Do something, even if it’s stupid and makes things worse”.
I’m sure Walter Freeman believed he was helping these patients. Same as the eople who want to do gender mutilations on rapid-onset gender dysphoria patients.
Repeat of opiod crisis, when government mandate d the 5th vital sign and less money from medicare/medicaid or other insurance if not carefully documented.. But it was ALL THE DOCTORS FAULT,OR IN MY CASE THE PA-C.Carefully documented and appropriate referral made to pain specialist,psych or addiction specialist.I had a lot of complaints…
All the studies from the 1950’s to 1990’s done in Europe and At John Hopkins in Baltimore showing suicide rate unchanged even after surgery and hormones in adults mostly menm few females.Poor results life long patient with medical problems from surgeries,complications from hormones.. Then 2007 suddenly females started showing up at these clinics..Now it is a social contagion to children,who are abused by the system.Instead of counseling to treat the depression they offer drugs and affirming Care!!! Recomend surgery. When did us mere mortals learn how to make a vagina, or a penis. How about a uterus? No We ain’t GODs. We do not have the knowledge to do any of those things.But they sure are causing Great Harm.
See the studies where 80% of the folks working Psych, doing Counseling are there because of their Psych problems.. HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM.. Pray for our people pray for the medical people who will reap what they have sown.. Pray for all those who have been harmed.
Good Intentions? Nope MONEY, BIG MONEY.WHO WILL PAY.LAWSUITS ARE COMING.
A repeat of the opioid crisis. Will we never learn?
“A repeat of the opioid crisis.”
You know, I never thought of it like that, but you’re absolutely right.
A bunch of “top-notch” “professionals” telling us that we have to do exactly what our training, knowledge, and experience tells us not to do, and do it fast, and preparing the punishments for us if our consciences tell us to refuse.
The only difference: The opioid mess was clearly calculated in advance to financially benefit a few entities (pretty much every drug manufacturer and pharmacy, plus JCAHO), whereas this will benefit… whom, exactly?
“Gender clinics”? They’re hardly influential or profitable enough to cause all of this.
Hormone manufacturers? Not a big enough market to be worth it (as opposed to opioids, which are for… Everybody!).
Someone with some influence has to be benefiting from this.
It can’t just be mass psychosis. Can it?
Mass psychosis? Maybe😱.
