It really is that simple.

Personally I don't think it is ever right to talk to children about gender confusion. We (70+) never had. Any 'confusion' we had we swiftly grew out of.

Indeed. Research shows that about 95-98% of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria grow up to be normal gay adults if they are left alone and 'unaffirmed'.
If 'affirmed' and put on a pathway of PBs, cross-sex hormones and surgeries, they often still find out they were simply gay all the time, but now they are out of the dating pool forever, and on cross-sex hormones forever.

TRAs call sex-reassignment surgery "life-saving" and claim kids will end their lives if not put on PBs on time. Emotional blackmail to begin with but also, hey, I wasn't alive at the time but I don't think there was such a high rate of suicide among gender non-conforming (aka gay) kids a century ago. They just tried to live their lives.

Or are on the spectrum, often autistic.
Which is completely understandable. Autistic children feel unconnected with 'normal' people and life

Some children seem so young when they "decide" that they're trans that I wonder who put the idea in their head. Do some parents push children into it as some form of one-upmanship over other parents with only "regular" children?

Spot on!
Last year it was trendy to be autistic, the year before it was anorexia etc etc

What happened to the days when a kid could be a kid? play video games, go outside and play with friends, etc. What's the obsession with pushing genders on kids? A kid who thinks they are trans goes on meds and decides it was a phase and then hates life.

It is often a divorce tactic. Google Jeff Younger, the father of two twin boys. When he divorced his wife, she took revenge by transgendering his son James. That way, she could take both kids to California and make sure that this 'safe' state for 'trans kids' would not rule in favour of the children's biological father (as Jeff Younger is - gasps in Spanish - a MAGA Republican) but instead give full custody to her.

And she's not even the biological mother of the kids.

I have to admit I am surprised ay how this thread has gone. I was expecting lots of anti-GC abuse.

I have to admit I am surprised ay how this thread has gone. I was expecting lots of anti-GC abuse.

Last year or so there was one arrogant crusader who replied to a GC comment on some thread. He threw an avalanche of insulting replies until someone asked him "What does GV mean?"

He didn't even know it was gender critical. He thought it was gender conforming. On one hand I can understand, since we always use GNC to describe those of us who are not conforming to outdated gender stereotypes, but on the other hand... If you claim to "know your enemy" then that's a big, big mistake.
