If it "100% does not affect" anyone in the slightest, why is Hollywood so intent on adding trannies to movies and series so we can have "representation"?
No. That's the PR answer. The real answer is that they hope they make more money. They hope the number or people who like it is bigger than the number of people who don't like it.
Actually...
It's scientifically proven and easy to understand that wanting to become a transgender has a huge social component.
By exposing this possibility to young impressionable kids they may incept in their minds that they want a different body.
Actually ...
That argument only shows that people can be influenced by what they see and what they see others do. It doesn't prove the "thing" in question is right or wrong.
And suddenly you have convinced your kid that
... pink hair is cool!
Seriously, if your kids are that easily influenced, you are not doing your job as a parent. Parents need to have conversations with their kids - conversations that involve both talking and listening!
If your kids said he/she wanted to die his/her hair pink, you would need to ask him/her why and have a conversation involving you listening to your child. As the parent, you can say no. But you need to talk to him/her about it. Well, I guess you don't have to talk first, but it would be the wise thing to do.
If your kids are honestly wondering if they are trans, you would be wise to take them seriously and ask them questions about it and have a discussion.
Sheltering your kids doesn't work. You have to teach them how to deal with uncomfortable topics. If you don't agree with something, that's ok, but don't teach them to hate people. Teach them to accept the fact that you are going to disagree with some choices that other people make.

It's true what you are saying, but you are putting the burden on ALL parents that they have to be patient, caring and communicative with their kids.
This is a clear utopia and will never happen.
As we know, a very big amount of parents is just not a good parent and will let their kids wander into the wild.
But I agree with you on that, it seems most of the transgender people go through some teenage insecurities and household problems and that's why they seem to need this cry for attention. Once again, it's all part of the society component that drives these feelings.
