This is not from some neutral upbringing. The media/teacher onslaught against morality gets results when not checked.

I, for one, welcome Liberals’ initiative to cease reproducing. The future looks brighter every day!

Sadly way of life contributes to embrace of sexual perversion. What does this mean? You break the model of traditional family - role of femininity , mom, role of masculinity, pop, and role of sex, procreation and then the human person can choose to be whatever he or she desires. Although left is more looney about many things, both sides contributed to this breakdown & even some who are intellectual heavy weights like cross dresser Deirdre McCloskey.

“Deirdre Nansen McCloskey is a distinguished scholar and Isaiah Berlin Chair in Liberal Thought at the Cato Institute.”

Poor Isaiah is turning in his grave. Like pope Leo xiii wrote in encyclicals about state , church & liberalism - absent acknowledgement of divine origin ( natural law needs ground) liberalism will just morph into tyranny.

Apparently Montgomery County had an opt-out last year but:

"Schools could not accommodate the growing number of opt-out requests without causing significant disruptions to the classroom environment and undermining [the school system’s] educational mission"

So you can have an opt-out as long as you don't use it…

This is what happens when universities offered "gender studies" as a degree and then graduates expect jobs! So let's invent a revenue stream for them, and higher Ed....

Getting drafted into the military will take their minds off this BS.

That transgender curve looks suspiciously like the growth in autism diagnoses.

The chart data ends in 2004. There must be something more recent that covers the era of teen social media and smart phone use.

There has clearly been a coordinated effort during the 2010s to normalize the spectrum of trans identifications. I would be interested if any convincing research exists that shows social media or other communication channels were active in the 2000s and the frequency of providing "gender affirming care" to minors or adults from 1995 to 2010.

The hockey stick begins around 1987 and is well established by 2000 - which suggests something was underway before the Internet was a phenomena and definitely prior to youth accessible social media platforms were prominent. My first recollection of any trans discussion involving schools dates to around 2012 - 2014, when someone at a dinner party mentioned a memo came from their middle school that referenced pronouns. Chuckles all around before our drinks were refreshed.

So perhaps this is just another phenomena of the chronic disease epidemic, like autism or teen obesity, which all began to accelerate in the late 1980s and 1990s.

Typo:

"The County’s leftist identitarian educrats sought to eliminate an opt-out for parents who objected to the inappropriate LGBTQ+ materials"

You misspelled "edurats". You're welcome.

Read "The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing Kindle Edition by Joost Abraham Maurits Meerloo (Author)" (available on Amazon). We are being brainwashed by the left and their partners, big business, the complicit and corrupt corporate media.

Count me in part skeptical. To fit in, young men may call themselves many things, but for most of them, actually engaging in gay sex will be difficult.

Of course. I've been wrong before.
