Today, 2% of American High School students, mostly girls, identify as transgender. Between 2016 & 2017 the number of girls seeking transgender surgery quadrupled! Today, it’s unlikely that you don’t know someone who identifies as transgender.

Ten years ago, it was unlikely that you knew someone who identified as transgender. The reason is that oly 1 in 10,000 people (0.01%) were affected by the condition. Almost none of these cases were adolescent girls. Before 2012, there was exactly NO scientific literature discussing adolescent girls transitioning to the opposite sex.

But, gender dysphoria is not new. We have been studying it for 100 years. But, it always involved boys, between the ages of 2-4.

When a phenomenon that affects a small portion of one half of a population, boys, suddenly starts affecting the other half, girls, and when its age of onset shifts dramatically from pre-school to adolescent, something significant is happening!

Abigail Shrier analyzes this disturbing trend and its implications.
