"Trans" ideology is completely delusional, resting upon a manufactured "feeling" of being something one is not, and cannot even know. The idea that someone born male could "feel like" a female is an impossibility. They cannot know what a woman feels like, so how can they know they "feel like" one? A female "feels like" a woman b/c every day of that person's life - from inside the womb, actually - they were treated by their friends, family, and society as a female is treated in our society. That treatment is entirely different from how a male is treated. Without those billions of individual experiences and perceptions over time, the concept of "feeling like" a man, a woman, a dog, an alien, etc. is a delusion. You cannot "feel like" something that you have never experienced and have no internal, experiential concept for. It's all just made-up and implanted in their minds. And, to be honest, they choose to believe and accept the delusional thought.
I've written almost a carbon copy as my own comment many times. It's just brainwashing - psychological manipulation and gas lighting of children who are sometimes just experiencing the "ravages" of a puberty changing body. Others have deeper issues, like sexual abuse or some other trauma. The public schools and social media are driving this "fad".
I also hold the medical community mostly accountable. "Do no harm" seems to have gone out the window, since cutting off non-diseased body parts and enabling mental illness is the definition of harm. And doctors should know better than to be swayed by political fads.
Woah there, Ru! That’s part of it, the nurture part, sure. And you hit the nail in flush, with a single blow, when you said it rested on “a "feeling" of being something one is not, and cannot even know. The idea that someone born male could "feel like" a female is an impossibility….” and “ You cannot "feel like" something that you have never experienced and have no internal, experiential concept for. ” Yes!!!
BUT, women know what a woman feels like because they are women, girls, females. Same for men, boys, males. Because they ARE!
Women exist in different minds and bodies than males —- every cell is different —from the earliest age. Even before the embryonic endocrine and systems begin to form. It’s in our DNA.
We parents nurture the male or female PERSON. So much more than reinforcing a social construct. (And much, much more than roles or stereotypes as they now reduce it to — to bend the perceptions of the gullible so-called teachers & their oh-so-precious and impressionable students.) There is a vastly wide and lovely variety of expressions of our respective selves, male or female.
Men and women do indeed need the nurture of both parents (or surrogates). But this in love and wisdom, recognizing the innate and individual existences of their innate, God given gifts of maleness or femaleness. —Bending the tree in the way it should, by nature, beautifully grow.
I know you know this. I just needed to complete the picture.

It is mental illness and it is being encouraged.
