Why do we live in an age where boys want to be girls and girls want to be boys?

I'm not against anyone, just want to know how one may think that he's born in the wrong gender and the grass is always greener on the other side.

Because children are conditioned and manipulated at a young age to think this way. They do not have the cognitive ability to distinguish fantasy from reality and often become very confused and even distraught. As for adults, i dont have an answer. Its almost like they cant face reality and rather live in a fantasy world. And western society right now not only allows it but encourages and advocates for it. I just read a story where this mother put his 11 year old son on puberty blockers because he said hes a girl and the mother didnt even bother to ask him what he meant. She appeased him. Well long story short he now has a micropenis. He cannot get bottom surgery because of the costs. He is suicidal and has already begun hurting himself. He cant experience physical pleasure or erections. So now hes stuck in the middle. Cant be a woman and cant really be much of a man either. Mother is so desperate she's been reaching out on social media and people are shaming her for basically mutilating her son. Because this is all her fault

I'll be happy to tell you why...See, girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world,

Except for Lola...

Most English boys in the Victorian era wore dresses and long hair. Despite what right-wingers might claim, it didn't "convert" them.

@ElwoodBlues It was convinent, no bo-rics on every corner back then.
I believe they let it grow and gave away locks of hair, sometimes, in lockets or other jewelry.

It’s not a new thing by any means. It just seems more people are discussing it openly.
Also, I don’t think it’s a matter of thinking the grass is greener, but rather knowing who you are inside and wanting the outside to match.
Hassan · 22-25, M
@BananaBrown yea but we're all the same from inside. Who are we to assume if a girl should be quiet or a boy to be rough. Only When we start excepting that we make people hate their genders
BananaBrown · 41-45, F
@Hassan I agree that there shouldn’t be strict rules or ways of thinking as to what is socially acceptable for girls/women, boys/men, or anyone else. It should be individual choice to express themselves as they see fit.

Being trans isn't "girl wants to be a boy"; it's "girl is actually a boy". You may not believe they are, but being trans goes further than simply admiring the other gender and wanting to be like that. It's taking it to a much more intense level, to the point of wanting to change your body. There have always been effeminate men and masculine women, but that doesn't mean they will try and transition to the other gender.

Yes, there are some people who are not really trans and are just experimenting with gender norms. I'm thinking of the people who actually go through with living as the other gender.
Why do you believe this is only happening in this age? The desire for personal identity and discrimination against it has always been present throughout history since the beginning of time.

This isn’t something new. People tend to believe the grass may be greener in this instance because they are shamed into believing their true self is less than acceptable.

It’s actually a sad state of our human race to be so narrow minded to think that everyone fits into one of two boxes.

@Pinkstarburst what other options are available?

There has been a study done linking male-to-female transgender development with levels of mercury in the body. Where does that mercury come from? It could come from eating seafood, or mercury-based dental fillings or vaccines (they call the mercury thimersol but it goes to the brain the same regardless of the name of it).
Chickie · F
@cherokeepatti I've read that it was linked to having no father or coming from a dysfunctional family or something like that.
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
@cherokeepatti as in it clouds their judgement or affects the hormone balance?
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Tastyfrzz I have no idea. But toxic amounts of mercury were already linked to some cases of mental illness. Remember the saying “Mad as a hatter?” They used to use mercury to make fur hats. Could very well disorient someone if it is messing with their brain.

One time a psychologist said that he thinks it’s a form of dissociation
JesseInTX · 51-55, M
I’m all for someone being who they want to be. That said, it’s not a decision 7 year olds should be able to make. If a 7 year old male wants to play with a Barbie rather than a Ken cool. Gender transition before 21 is a bad thing. I’m still waiting for the ”Kendra” doll, Ken transitioning, to come out. Actually surprised it hasn’t already.

Government and schools must be full of warped minded teachers.

They're telling the boys that it's better to be a girl while telling the girls that boys have it easier.

Kids will believe anything no matter how crazy it sounds if someone they trust tells it to them.

not new, re: all of history

@pentacorn 😝

@Hassan *thumps your tongue*
Hassan · 22-25, M
@pentacorn ouch 😶
We've always had trans people. Nothing new there.
@Hassan Because gender isn't actually based on biology. So of course some people are going to identify more with a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth.
Hassan · 22-25, M
@BohemianBoo what's it based on then
@Hassan Nothing, really. That's why gender traits are so arbitrary.
Caitbot · 22-25, T
For me it's I'm a girl trapped in a boys body. I suffer with dysphoria so my brain sees my gender as female but that conflicts with my biological sex which is male and sends bad signals which lead to bad thoughts which leads many in my position to suicide. Not me tho.

For others it's different. It's not a blanket issue you can slap one explanation or solution onto
Jokekilla · 26-30, M
We always had trans people in our lives, the only difference is now they are more accepted to be who they are than they were in the past.
TexChik · F
democrats promote that any chance they get.
TexChik · F
@DeluxedEdition I think they have an all out attack on procreation.
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@TexChik they want Americans to stop procreating so that they can claim there is a shortage of babies (which they already are doing) so Americans will not be so opposed to the idea of immigration which democrats want because immigrants = democrat votes
TexChik · F
@DeluxedEdition possibly, or they just think controlling the population makes the planet better for them
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
Because everyone keeps recommending that they go f$ck themselves.
Hassan · 22-25, M
@Tastyfrzz 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Not me I want to be Pokémon
Chickie · F
That's a good question..you see parents now let their kids mostly boys crossdress. I think it's the exposure to the LGBT+ that have a big influence on them for want to do that, because think about up where there a lot of gays like this 14/20 years ago?.
Hassan · 22-25, M
@Chickie no you got me wrong. I mean we're all the same on the inside. If I'm a quit boy doesn't mean that i have to be trans so i can match the inside. I'm not with it. I've seen males turn to girls and become and act slutty. This is so bad, they only think that girls are sluts or live their lives for that.
I've a girl on social media who turned to a man bcz her family didn't want her to ride Harleys 🤦🏻‍♀️🥵
Chickie · F
@Hassan [quote]This is so bad, they only think that girls are sluts or live their lives for that.[/quote] this is why I think transgenders are sick. A man wanting to be a woman and who likes men still have the same view of that as a straight man as what a woman is and I get so upset when they fetishize gross things or things we don't like. Like restrooms, periods, having kids . FTM's are the same way, they both have a stereotypical view on our gender.
Hassan · 22-25, M
@Chickie true
