Lisa Littman, an assistant professor of behavioural and social sciences at Brown University, was curious about what was causing these changes. She had come across reports from parents on online forums describing a new pattern of behaviour: adolescents without a history of childhood gender dysphoria were announcing they were transgender after a period of immersing themselves in niche websites or after similar announcements from friends. Her study suggests that these children may be grappling with what she calls "rapid-onset gender dysphoria".



Methodology: Dr Littman recruited 256 parents of children whose symptoms of gender dysphoria suddenly appeared for the first time in adolescence. These parents—Ms Miller among them—took part anonymously in an online, 90-question survey. Dr Littman's findings suggest that a process of "social and peer contagion" may play a role. According to the parents surveyed, 87% of children came out as transgender after spending more time online, after "cluster outbreaks" of gender dysphoria in friend groups, or both. (In a third of the friendship groups, half or more of the individuals came out as transgender; by contrast, just 0.7% of Americans aged between 18 and 24 are transgender.) Most children who came out became more popular as a result. Rachel, Ms Miller's daughter, says that when she told her friends, all of whom she had met online, they congratulated her: "It was, like, welcome home."



Dr Littman thinks that some adolescents may embrace the idea that they are transgender as a way of coping with symptoms of a different, underlying issue. Almost two-thirds of the children had one or more diagnoses of a psychiatric or developmental disorder preceding the onset of gender dysphoria; nearly half had self-harmed or experienced some trauma. This is consistent with other studies of gender dysphoria when it sets in during puberty. Some people distract themselves from emotional pain by drinking, taking drugs, cutting or starving themselves. Dr Littman suggests that, for some, gender dysphoria may also be in this category.



The study has attracted heavy criticism. Some is reasonable. Though it is a solid first attempt to describe a recently observed phenomenon.

Could it be, that for some at least, transgenderism is a new cool fad to be imitated?  It would seem that may be the case. That would be unfortunate, since transgenderism is associated with very high suicide levels and depression, is this something we really wants kids embracing when they normally wouldn't otherwise?

I've seen this with my cousins kid, who turned gay briefly during his very early teen years.  And then he magically turned straight again.



I believe it was nothing more than a 'cool fad' that started during his later grades at public Elementary School, when this shit is pushed forth with massive purpose.

[Berry Sweet]

It's a trend shit.

Think it's just unstable chemistry in the brain, when I was a kid I used to be straight, then I became gay and I'm 95% straight again and 5% gay.

If Blurt was here, I think he would dispute this.

Well he should come in and give us his take.  I'd like to hear it.  



I don't think all transgenderism is a fad.  I think there are people who genuinely feel like they were born in the wrong body.  Of course we don't know why that is, but it seems to be the case.  But I feel like a can of worms has been opened up and quite possibly there are kids who are going to get involved in this because they think its cool or a way to rebel against their parents or some other bad reason other than really believing it.  And that is probably not good for them or society in general.

I remember seeing a 'gay' kid in a shop a while ago, he couldn't have been more than 10 years old, it was a bizarre sight. He was full blown camp with that horrible voice they have and limp wrists, he obviously had learned all that behavior from watching TV.

I would hope not. What I see being presented here is "trendy" prog created "gayness" which "should" be of great concern to genuine gays



Even I find what is going on, parents and others actually working hard to make kids "feel they are gay" ... to be ethically reprehensible, cruel, an insult to genuine gay people  ... a travesty .... and the destruction of many young lives meeting the definition of child abuse

I say Blurt would argue the findings.
