Blacks vote at a 85% clip for this stuff and then I'm told it's my ancestors fault they have busted families

Nope. They do cheat at quite high clips in the modern urban centers though.
Many of the perps are black; but many are of other racial persuasions.
The reality is that about 30 percent of blacks went for Trump in this election.
There is a great awakening taking place.

Harrowing statistics from a study recently published by the American Academy of Pediatrics revealed alarming levels of attempted suicide among transgender youth -- with the highest rates among transgender boys and non-binary youth. The findings emphasize the urgency of building welcoming and safe communities for LGBTQ young people, particularly for transgender youth.

More than half of transgender male teens who participated in the survey reported attempting suicide in their lifetime, while 29.9 percent of transgender female teens said they attempted suicide. Among non-binary youth, 41.8 percent of respondents stated that they had attempted suicide at some point in their lives.

Many transgender young people experience family rejection, bullying and harassment, or feel unsafe for simply being who they are - all of which can be added risk factors for suicide. Earlier this year, HRC released its 2018 LGBTQ Youth Report, which detailed similarly alarming experiences -- but also significant perseverance among LGBTQ young people in the face of daunting challenges.

There are steps that can be taken to help prevent this tragedy.

HRC Foundation’s Welcoming Schools program provides specific guidance to parents, teachers and the wider community for preventing anti-LGBTQ bullying and aggression in schools. This can be as simple as responding appropriately to anti-LGBTQ comments in the classroom, or encouraging educators to promote inclusivity and diversity in their lesson plans.

Oh yeah, it's fantastic. Nothing beats knowing your 12 year old is going on suicide watch.

What are the odds that children of the wealthy and famous tend to have gender dysphoria? It seems as much a lifestyle choice. I don't think people can choose to be gay or straight, but I feel differently about some of the gender dysphoria amongst the wealthy young folks.

the single biggest factor to mitigating suicide risk is to have family support for your being trans

To attain a recent measure of suicide risk, we asked participants if they had considered suicide in the past year, and whether they had attempted it. Consideration of suicide was common, and was reported by 35% of youth whose parents were strongly supportive and 60% of those whose parents were not strongly supportive. Particularly alarming is that among this latter 60%, nearly all (57%) had actually attempted suicide in the past year. In contrast, only 4% of those with strongly supportive parents attempted suicide.While 4% is still far too high, the impact of strong parental support can be clearly seen in the 93% reduction in reported suicide attempts for youth who indicated their parents were strongly supportive of their gender iden y and expression.

they were going to be trans whether the parents said so publicly or not, much like people are gay whether or not they are out of the closet. but its good to know that they apparently have some of the support needed. the stigma of being weird, abnormal, or simply not valid is a massive contributor to depression.

Sure, at the age of understanding what it means but at 12? Do you support surgery for 12 year olds based on their claims of gender dysphoria?

nope. i dont think anybody seriously does.

puberty blockers have been found to be safe and reversible, as a good stopgap between that age and when they'd be at a more appropriate age for surgery (assuming they even want surgery. not every trans person gets surgery done)

as long as we know its entirely your feelings, and not an actual claim that children of famous/wealthy people are disproportionately likely to be trans, or just you making up

When I say "you all" each of you acts like you have a separate objection, but then "you all" respond with "we" quite often.

Why? If it's ok for adults why not for 12 year olds?

Is there a medial reason they aren't of appropriate age? Will the surgery be more dangerous for them at 12 than it would at 17?

this isn't a serious argument. we allow adults to do many things that we dont allow children to do. drink, drive, enter into contract. electing for a surgery with non-reversible life altering consequences is probably a good one to add to the list. do you disagree?
