Transgender people tend to regret their decisions so many years after their transitions and it feels like it has only gotten so popular two(?) years ago. I do worry about the kids because of how many teachers seem to be trying to teach kids that, because they feel different or more masculine/feminine, that makes them the opposite sex. I've seen videos of teachers having parades with kids carrying pride flags through the hallways.
Like you said, I also worry about the kids because their minds can be shaped before they're anywhere near developed enough to comprehend all that (average brain isn't fully developed until age 25).
Hopefully, people start making decisions with their heads instead of emotions but my prediction is that Dems will just blame everything on Republicans and all these people that think they're animals and the opposite sex and one of 678 different genders will come out and vote Democrat.
If your statement asserting transgender regret is concerning gender affirming procedures, it's simply not supported by the data. They do not tend to experience regret, and those that do comprise an extremely miniscule percentage.
The NIH provided the following meta-analysis in 2021:
Results:
A total of 27 studies, pooling 7928 transgender patients who underwent any type of GAS, were included. The pooled prevalence of regret after GAS was 1% (95% CI <1%–2%). Overall, 33% underwent transmasculine procedures and 67% transfemenine procedures. The prevalence of regret among patients undergoing transmasculine and transfemenine surgeries was <1% (IC <1%–<1%) and 1% (CI <1%–2%), respectively. A total of 77 patients regretted having had GAS. Twenty-eight had minor and 34 had major regret based on Pfäfflin’s regret classification. The majority had clear regret based on Kuiper and Cohen-Kettenis classification.
