Mental health experts warned social factors could be contributing to the rise in gender dysphoria in children, after a new study found cases have skyrocketed over a ten-year period.

Gender dysphoria refers to "the psychological distress that results from an incongruence between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity," according to the American Psychiatric Association.

The study, published January 24 in the UK medical journal, The Archives of Disease in Childhood, found there was a 50-fold increase in recorded prevalence of gender dysphoria among patients aged 18 or younger in primary care settings in England between 2011 and 2021.

The study found incident rates for gender dysphoria rose sharply among female patients after 2015 and were "approximately twice as high" as in males by 2021.

Say adults, well maybe they are in years, I say it’s the mentally ill that allowed to abuse and indoctrinate our children from pre school, and even earlier, telling them that they are not what God created them to be but something totally opposite. and it is all about creating more abnormal freaks to enlarge their ranks.

We need to start building new mental institutions and get all the mentally ill children abuser out of society and locked up for the safety of the children.

Those indoctrinators are Marxists. The basic building block of society is the family, and they are trying to break families apart.

Child abuse, plain and simple.

Not just the adults. The transgender kids have become the "coolest" kids in school, especially since being transgender drives so many grown-ups (including parents) bonkers. I have seen this firsthand. There is literally a "Transgender Industrial Complex" on Snapchat and Tik Tok.

Being Trans is also a gateway into free prescription drugs through the federal CHIPS program for kids over the age of 13 in those states that passed the stupid law that allows kids 13 or older to obtain prescriptions without parental consent.

The medical and psychological establishment have been feeding off this trend like vultures for a good 10 years now.

I think there are also mothers out there that want "special" children setting them apart from others.

There's a certain whiff of Munchausen by proxy to it.
