Good insight into an underestimated, but probably important, driver of the transgender cause. As stated towards the end it is not the only driver, though. I think the best way to understand what is happening is to see it as the result of multiple interacting factors, with bad actors exploiting the process wherever they can.

Trans activists are sneaky #!&!# Now that Róisin has pointed it out, it does seem obvious that they would seek to make a connection between the widely supported consent age for people with DSD making decisions re their bodies (12yo) and the consent age for so-called “trans-identified kids”.

1:34:54 Rates of HIV infection vary between African countries, which would suggest culture does have an impact.

Obianuju Ekeocha has written that African countries with higher rates of condom use have higher rates of HIV, partly because the condoms available are poor quality, and partly because condom use is an indicator of extra-marital sex in cultures where the number of children born per woman is much higher than in Europe.

It is, if the state is expecting us to fund and support the surgical punishment of gender non-conforming people.

Sorry you have fallen for the scam that this is just a deeply personal individual identity issue, the propaganda has been strong and maybe you don’t read all that widely outside what you are fed
