Everyone is aware of the surging "transgender" movement, especially when it comes to children wishing to change their gender identity.

My question is thus: Is this a modern-day fad, part of political tribalism that's pervasive in our society, or is it something that's really happening to our children? By that, I mean, is it a real thing that more and more children are really born into the "wrong body," something that hasn't happened in all of human history?

I've heard theories that plastics and other pollutants are causing a blurring of the genders, with large numbers of children being born who are not really one gender or the other, but more in between. Hence, the "identity shifting" that we see so much today.

I have no idea if this is true or not, and I sincerely hope that all of this is simply a popular fad, which will soon die out.

What are your opinions on this matter?

My opinion is a transgender person will most likely have no impact on me or the way I live my life. Frightening? Um, no.

It's a mental illness that is encouraged by people who are, more than likely, a member of the Democratic Party...

Frightening? Yes, and the Democrats encouraging it are more frightening!

I too view it as a mental illness. How can you think you are a different gender than what the evidence shows between your legs?

Not a fad and not frightening. I remain a live and let live type of man as long as all are consenting adults

The best known Trans person in the world is a lifelong Republican who at age 65 made the decision to undergo surgical removal of his penis and testicles. He recently landed a gig as a paid contributor on Fox News. Medicare will pay for this surgery when it is medically warranted, on a case by case basis.

I do not understand Trans.
I oppose hormone blockers, treatment and reassignment surgical procedures for minors.
I will not play the pronoun game.
If an underaged bio male wants to wear a skirt and make up, more power to him. Its just fashion. Likely, some will outgrow the shock value.

Afterall, kilts were and remain statements, as were heels and powdered wigs and hair for men.

Personally, I don't think it is normal for someone to want to change their sex organs.

At the same time, it is not my body so it's none of my business.

Nope, just a silly fad.

Notice that even the so-called "transgendered" people aren't getting the surgery to do their genital mutilation and pretend to be the opposite sex. They want to be able to back out of it.... meaning they aren't really serious.

Except for the rare times when they can get anybody to listen to them.

It won't last.

God used to use a lever that you pull for a male or female body prior to birth. Now it’s been updated to a computer system. The system often has bugs, crashes, or is down for upgrades so more people’s orders are getting messed up.
