Are there any studies on why children become transgender? Obviously it's a rare minority of kids who do this, but I feel as though it's becoming more common. I knew three transgender people in high school, and that number has increased tenfold since entering college.
What sort of homes foster the environment that encourages transgender kids? From what I understand, it's not just weak parents. Some children became "LGBTQIA+" against their own parents' wishes, so it's not just complacency.
I ask these questions both to educate myself AND to prevent this from happening when I have kids. Second-to-last thing I want is a gay son, and the absolute last thing I want is a gay son who thinks he's a girl.
Transgenderism is obviously a mental illness, but what is the root cause and how do you legally discourage someone from being transgender?

They are, what people call, "those accepting who they are," or what we like to call...
>attention whores
Half the reason most people even switch genders is to be noticed by people. There has been proof of this.

Just tell your children not to be fucking gay.

I don't see why anybody is surprised about this. You can't just pollute the social environment with unchecked technology and expect people to be normal. It's the equivalent of uncontrolled air pollution in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Social media and tech in general is fucking with our brains, hence autism and trans and other post modern garbage.
Some kids are born gay or transgender but In most cases with kids it's a trend,a cry for attention. It makes them feel cool because they see it on the internet and think it will make them famous or popular. Mom and dad give them more attention because they are different. And the right to choose is pushed on young ones and it's confusing for the rest developing minds. You can convince a kid their dad is a tomato if you want.
whish is worse
a mentally ill kid whose parents enable them with hormone pills
or
the kid of a mentally ill parent who wants their kid to be a tranny

>Just tell your children not to be fucking gay.
I wish it was that simple, but I'm worried about the "rebellious phase" that many kids go through. I suppose it will be fine as long as I don't have a daughter (any fathers on /pol/ have any tips just in case?).

It's interesting you say that, because unchecked technology eventually led me here. I'm more conservative than my own parents.

It's trendy. It's the new goth.
My ex's sister, who is in middle school, claims she's a man now along with all of her friends.
Didn't even fucking recognize her when I saw her last, it's creepy.

It's part of the plan. Just go with it. We are stimulating Calhoun's principles.

They're the same thing.
You might not think so, but it be.
>>132699376
That seems too similar to tell a difference.

Just go full liberal SJW as a parent and your Child will Rebel against the modern world in that "rebellious phase"
"Fuck you xir! I want a traditional family and start a business!"

>but what is the root cause
You could literally google and find the answer in 5 seconds if you actually wanted an answer based in science and not /pol/ ideology.
It's not a mental illness. Gender identity is a biological trait, verified by twin studies.
Male to female transsexualism is thought to be caused by "elongated androgen receptors" resulting in a feminine brain in a masculine body.
>>132700987
Okay, but what causes those androgen receptors to become elongated? Is it a genetic imbalance or defect of some sort? I would appreciate links.
