Maybe the freedom to talk about it with relatively little chance of getting shot, beaten to death, fired, disowned, arrested, committed, and so forth, is giving us a true picture of the percentage of society that's not Father Knows Best.this situation seems to be getting progressively worse as time goes by.so whats the cause? additives, preservatives, electromagnetism, solar radiation, pollution, etc.?

Ummmm. No!Maybe the freedom to talk about it with relatively little chance of getting shot, beaten to death, fired, disowned, arrested, committed, and so forth, is giving us a true picture of the percentage of society that's not Father Knows Best.

Decline in Serum Testosterone Levels Among Adolescent and Young Adult Men in the USA - PubMed
Testosterone deficiency has a prevalence of 20% among adolescent and young adult (AYA) males. Although previous studies have shown that total testosterone (TT) levels are declining in the population compared to prior decades, no study has identified TT level trends for AYA males specifically...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
No.Is it your thesis that lower testosterone levels "cause" homosexuality/bisexuality/transgenderism in men?
What causes them in women?
A friend of mine claims it is caused by boys being raised by single moms. I don't know how he came to this conclusion, but it seems about as logical as much of what the so-called experts come up with.this situation seems to be getting progressively worse as time goes by.so whats the cause? additives, preservatives, electromagnetism, solar radiation, pollution, etc.?

Well, yeah! Eve and the serpent and all that, y'know.Nevermind all those centuries before when, you know, dad went off to war, or died in a field, leaving mom to raise 10 or more kids until she could marry/be married off again.
No, no... it's all gotta be the woman's fault for the ills of society, right?![]()
The Ginger Menace.It has nothing to do with single moms.
Again, are you this freakishly put out by left handed people?
Those with red hair?
Green eyes?
I'm sure you would have been among those who screamed about the devil taking over the more left handed people were using their left hands instead of their right. Not realizing that the normalization - even appearance of it - and allowing people to be 'left handed' (or gay, or lesbian or trans or whatever) has appearances of a "burst of suddenly happening" before levelling off.
Progressively worse?
No; it's just appearances and us being sick and fucking tired of hiding and we're not doing it anymore.
And ginger is just an anagram.The Ginger Menace.
Especially them green-eyed, sinister gingers!
Clearly the children of Satan.
Hmm. . . kinda makes you wonder who the moms are.
Nope. Not even close. I guarantee you can relate to it even though you are, as an Oklahomo, a Man of Westernesse by default.OK, suddenly I get it!
People who aren't 100% Men of Westernesse (or their compliant, loving wives) and get into all thet thar perversion are caused by single mothers.
How does a woman get to be a single mother? By perverted, evil, fornication with runaway guys. And who is the ultimate 4F (find 'em, feel 'em, fuck 'em, forget 'em) guy?
Why, Satan, of course!
Ergo, everybody who ain't a real, straight, right-wing, monly mon or submissive woman, is obviously a child of Satan!
There, done and dusted. Carry on.
i was referring to them weird, dysfunctional, alphabet folk.Are you talking 2SLGBTQIA+ or left handedness?
I listened to 2 detransitioned girls speak before (congress? I actually am not sure 'cuz I didn't catch it right at the beginning). They both said that prior to transitioning they were NOT SUICIDAL & when puberty came, they became confused because of the changes in their bodies. How this happens, I don't know 'cuz when I went thru puberty, it was an amazing thing to me - I was becoming a woman. I'm sure I wasn't the only one btw!!“The evidence shows that singling out health care for gender diverse youth and making it subject to government control will cause irreparable harm to gender diverse youth by reinforcing the discrimination and prejudice they are already subjected to,” Kuntz wrote in the judgment.
Kuntz? Really?
The law, passed late last year but not fully in effect, would have prevented doctors from providing treatment such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy to those under 16.
Kuntz wrote that denying access to this care not only risks causing youth emotional harm but also exposes them to permanent physical changes that don’t match their gender identity.
Last month, the Canadian Medical Association and three Alberta-based doctors launched a legal case challenging the constitutionality of the bill, arguing it violates their Charter right to freedom of conscience.
Alberta’s other two pieces of transgender legislation — banning transgender women from competing in women’s sports and preventing youth under 16 from changing their name or pronouns in the school system without parental consent — have yet to be challenged in court.

‘We’re on the side of kids’: Alberta premier pushes back on court injunction against law banning doctors from providing gender-affirming care to youth — CTV News
Danielle Smith said she welcomes a debate in court after an Alberta judge put a hold on a provincial law that bans doctors from providing gender-affirming care to youth on Friday.apple.news
I agree with your first point, I don't the second. Trans isn't a "choice" as it's not even a "thing." Children are being manipulated & until that is gone, this will only become worse as time goes by. WHY hasn't this been an issue before? Because some fool made it up & decided to go for it & tell kids they can be whatever they want - even an freakin animal so who is on the wrong side of this? It's unconscionable!Again, my opinion? It should be best interest of the kid and if that best interest for them is to give them a transfusion because without it they'll die, then you give the transfusion. But then I am also of the opinion that anyone who is JW who takes their kid to a hospital for anything that a kid has that leads to a transfusion, they are either wanting the transfusion to begin with, or they really are sadistically torturing their kid and looking to blame others when their kid dies from whatever issue because "no help was given", when it's them that's refusing the help.
As I said, religion is another issue - while I get what you're trying to go with in this idea but the two situations aren't the same, Tax. Religion is a choice, being trans is not. The only similarities are in both situations, the life of the kid is at risk and the parents may be fucking up a kid's life if the right decision isn't made.
Sorry, I don't agree with a lot of what's stated here! I understand how trauma can induce PTDS whether male or female. The rest is B.S.Childhood trauma, particularly sexual abuse, is linked to various mental health challenges, including PTSD and sexual deviance, and can disproportionately affect LGBTQ+ individuals.
While not all LGBTQ+ individuals have experienced trauma, and not all individuals experiencing trauma identify as LGBTQ+, research indicates a higher prevalence of adverse childhood experiences, including trauma, among LGBTQ+ populations. These experiences can contribute to mental health disparities, including increased risk of PTSD, and can also impact sexual development and behavior.
Trauma and PTSD:
Increased Risk:
LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly transgender and gender diverse youth, experience higher rates of interpersonal trauma and discrimination, increasing their risk of developing PTSD.
Impact of Discrimination:
Experiences of discrimination, stigma, and rejection can lead to chronic stress and exacerbate PTSD symptoms.
Resilience:
Despite these challenges, many LGBTQ+ individuals demonstrate resilience, especially when they have access to social support and affirming care.
Trauma and Sexual Deviance:
Altered Sexual Self-Schemas:
Childhood trauma, especially sexual abuse, can affect an individual's sexual self-concept, potentially leading to feelings of disgust or shame related to sexuality.
Sexual Dysfunction:
Trauma can contribute to various sexual dysfunctions, including difficulties with sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction.
Sexual Risk-Taking:
Some studies suggest that trauma, particularly physical and sexual abuse, may be associated with increased sexual risk-taking behavior.
Impact on Gender Identity and Sexual
Orientation:
Not a Direct Cause:
While trauma can affect mental health and potentially impact the experience of gender identity and sexual orientation, it is not the sole cause of gender dysphoria or sexual orientation.
Complex Relationship:
The relationship between trauma and gender identity/sexual orientation is complex, with trauma potentially contributing to or exacerbating existing struggles with these aspects of identity.
Need for Trauma-Informed Care:
It's crucial to address trauma in a trauma-informed manner when working with LGBTQ+ individuals, as unresolved trauma can hinder their ability to form healthy relationships and navigate their sexual identity.
Important Considerations:
Diversity within LGBTQ+:
It's important to recognize the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community and acknowledge that individuals experience trauma differently.
Resilience and Recovery:
Many individuals who experience trauma, including LGBTQ+ individuals, demonstrate resilience and can recover with appropriate support and treatment.
Seeking Help:
If you or someone you know is struggling with the effects of trauma, it's essential to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor who understands the unique needs of LGBTQ+ individuals and the impact of trauma.
