EDIT: Let's cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We're not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don't believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I'm sure almost everybody has something to add.

microscopic portion a fraction of 1%

I tried searching for scientific articles but didn't find a source on this 1%. Could you share a scientific source on this?

suggest social contagion isn’t a thing either.

I don't see how they are causally correlated. I just say from personal experience... that if I wasn't exposed since my pre-teen years to LGBT I would likely never think transitioning was a thing and as such would not have pursued that. Today I see it was just a waste of time and money trying to transition.

Some studies... In a review of 27 studies...

What studies are these? There's no reference.

almost 8,000 teens and adults who had transgender surgeries

Also, it's pretty crazy they're doing this on teens and crazier that their parents are allowing that. Like, do you really think teens have the maturity to comprehend what are the consequences of this in the long term? I don't think so even if some doctor gives them a paper to read, just as I was given.
