I don't accept WHO to be reputable. In fact, quite the contrary.
In fact, I might be more inclined to believe the direct opposite they say, depending on the content.
I don't consider WHO to be qualified to say anything on the matter, so I'll just set their statement aside.
Let's look at the claim. Transgenderism? I'm no transgenerologist myself. I'm not even sure what the word means. I'm still confused on what I and H and + mean.
Why so many letters? Seriously?
I can fathom what gay means. Lesbians are gay women, right? What are gay men? Just gay? I can fathom what bisexual means. I have no idea what Q means, nor its purpose. Transsexual, transgender, transdresser? I think I can fathom what a transdresser is. But, maybe I don't.
Gender fluid, non-binary, drag queen, I know little about this stuff and I don't see it. It's not really in my consciousness. It's not in my realm.
I suppose I should be willing to learn about it. But, if it's used for political gain or fiscal purposes, we're going to have to come to terms on what's fair and what is not. What are the legal ramifications of all of this? I would like to know what percentage of Gay Rights Activists, if you will, are on board with this growing social evolution.
What is the end game? Do we want males competing with females in sports? No for me. My definition of what a male and a female is may differ from others. What do we do about that?
I don't think we can begin to help the children out until we come to a decision on some things. Anyway, we've taken something already complicated enough and really thrown it into a blender.

That's the one. That's the one I want proof of.
I want you to show me/us actual stats on this.
How many teachers in how many classrooms is this being done?
Are they doing this in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado schools? How about in Meeker Colorado schools?
How do we/you find this out and what are the stats?
I personally know a few teachers in Colorado schools right now. Some are family members. They would blow a headgasket if they saw this, so it couldn't be happening in their schools.

THere are major concerns with the normalizaiton of LGBTQ issues, but the over the top paranoia of indoctrinating kids en masse, kids being physically manipulated at early ages, forced to be something they 'shouldn't be...are highly overstated.
And this concept that the LGBTQ community are a danger to our youth is also oveerstated. Our kids are at risk from just us heteros more than any other group.

Some points to ponder in here.
They may be overstated. But I want to see for myself, what the stats are. I would like to make better sense of this so I can come to terms and think "rightly", at least in my own mind, what's going on it society about me. I'm not a parent, so not so drastic for me. But I am an uncle, a co-worker, etc.

Well this must not be a football game or I could move the goalpost from you with the word "non-binary", for "opposite" implies just two choices... one or zero, zero or one type of thing.

There is no therapy. There is only AFFIRMATION. Just like you tell the doctor you have bread cancer and he sets you up for all the treatment. No testing. No examination. No due diligence. Nothing. Just Believe....
But not ONE professional ever bothered to ASK. They just congratulated them on how brave they are for being trans and shoved them into the drugs and surgeries.

You're really kind of stuck on this Affirmation thing, aren't you? That's kind of a spooky world to live in.

So why aren't kids being left alone?
Why this terror that they could .. GASP .. grow out of it?? Why the absolute, get them into affirmation IMMEDIATELY!!!! Start the drugs ASAP!!!! Before they grow out of it!!!!!

I would hope this could be true in many cases.
But to be skeptical of all medical diagnosis just for the sake of skepticism seems a dangerous place to stand. This may not be what you're saying. Some skepticism must surely be good and in my opinion, should weigh in to this discussion on this thread...
so thank you for the other side of the coin here.

And there are both sides of the coin.
The one side of the coin would perhaps imply the field of medicine might be driven by the Almighty Dollar.
Let's look at Pharms, from a financial aspect. How they doing lately? How many 10s and 100s of billions of dollars are they making these days?
