Ratio
Today a stable 0.3% or less of the adult US population claims the old clinical term transsexualism, and perhaps 6% claim homosexuality (like me). The ratio is 0.3% : 6% is 0.5 - remember that for a moment.
Repeatable research shows that around 95% of unhappy sissy boys and butch girls - ostensibly “trans” today - who need psychiatric help for distress with their body resolve to simply being gay at puberty as you note. The ratio is 5 : 95 or around 0.5 again. This consistent prevalence and ratio is surprising and informative.
Application
With an average high school class size of 3500, we would expect around 210 gay/lesbian students to come out over their life and perhaps 10 trans; trans coming out generally occurs much later than gay/lesbian sexual attraction recognition for many reasons.
Therapy
A child who has unhappiness due to their body in the context of confusion over the issue of sexuality with gender should always be immediately presumed to he gay/lesbian due to this prevalence ratio. Additionally with girls, it is dramatically more probable that seeking trans therapy for medical intervention is a masking of an emerging variety of self-harm like cutting or anorexia than actual trans status.
Mirror Conversion
Imposing medical transgender therapeutic abuse on children, both psychiatric and physical, is a simple de-facto effort to affect alteration of their sexual orientation. As one can change object coordinates in space with a mirror transformation - left becomes right and so-forth - this is an analogous mirror-like sexual transformation applied to a child. It occurs by imposing a medically dubious treatment of public behavior reinforcement, chemical castration and disfiguring surgery to create an ersatz image of the child’s physical and emotional context to “the opposite sex”. The term of art is trans the gay away.
The same-sex orientation would therefore considered to be now opposite-sex attraction not by altering the attraction target of the child but by altering their basis state of the child. The sex of their target attractions doesn’t change but their own would be considered to be changed. This is the main legal strategy to eradicate homosexuality in counties like Iran, imposed on adult men.
US Legality
Therapeutic intervention to change a gay/lesbian child's orientation is illegal in most of the US. In California, for example, SB 1172 section 865.1. Under no circumstances shall a mental health provider engage in sexual orientation change efforts with a patient under 18 years of age.
All clinics, school resources, therapists, doctors, social media personalities, and parents who participate in pre-18 affirmation abuse in any way are in clear violation of applicable laws.
Keep it up Andrew.
