Interesting article from Psychology Today, discussing results of a survey of 250 familes whose children developed symptoms of gender dysphoria during or right after puberty.
First, many of the youth in the survey had been directly exposed to one or more peers who had recently "come out" as trans. Next, 63.5 percent of the parents reported that in the time just before announcing they were trans, their child had exhibited a marked increase in Internet and social media consumption. Following popular YouTubers who discussed their transition thus emerged as a common factor in many of the cases.

In turn, the eerie similarity between the youth's discourse and trans-positive online content was repeatedly emphasized. Youth were described as “sounding scripted," “reading from a script,” “wooden,” “like a form letter,” “verbatim,” “word for word," or “practically copy and paste."
Gender is a social construct. It is not based in science.
Anyone who claims that "gender" is science is at best misinformed, at worst they are repeating lies to promote a social -- not scientific -- agenda.
Gender identity is a social construct. Actual gender is a biological fact. People who have male reproductive organs and claim to be female or vice versa are science deniers.
