53% Of Mothers Of Boys With Gender Identity Disorder Have Borderline Personality Disorder NIH Study
By implication, roughly half of mothers don't have a diagnosed condition. Or do we ignore that part?
53% of people who come to your door are armed and wish to kill you. Knowing that, would you be more cautious answering the door, or would you shrug off those numbers as well?

The U.S. sex reassignment surgery market size was valued at USD 1.9 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.23% from 2022 to 2030. The rising incidences of gender dysphoria and the increasing number of people opting for gender confirmation surgeries are expected to boost the growth during the forecast period.
The increasing number of sex reassignment surgeries in the U.S. is expected to propel the growth of the industry during the forecast period. According to the 2020 Plastic Surgery Statistics by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), a 15% rise in breast or chest surgical procedures was reported in transgender male patients from 2019 to 2020.
The improving reimbursement scenario is also anticipated to positively impact the market growth during the forecast period. Insurance providers such as Aetna and Unicare provide insurance for necessary surgical procedures, such as salpingo-oophorectomy, hysterectomy, orchiectomy, or ovariectomy. In the U.S., around 152,000 transgender individuals are enrolled in Medicaid and only 69,000 among them have access to gender-affirming care coverage under state law.
November 9, 2022 - Yet a new study published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders reveals that — consistent with many anecdotal experiences — there is a link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and gender dysphoria/incongruence (GD/GI). To do this, the authors performed a meta-analysis, or a type of study that aggregates and analyzes the data from a number of individual studies.
They struggle with understanding ... in a lack of social awareness and atypical language expression. How facial expressions differ between those on the autism spectrum and neurotypical individuals is not clear.
There is tentative evidence that gender dysphoria occurs more frequently in autistic people (see Autism and LGBT identities).[88][89] As well as that, a 2021 anonymized online survey of 16–90 year-olds revealed that autistic males are more likely to identify as bisexual, while autistic females are more likely to identify as homosexual.
My theory on the manifesto that cannot be released. It states how the Trans folk are arming and training, and they want a war. They are crazy, so they don't understand attrition, warfare, or odds, but all they need are weapons and soft targets.

This isn't surprising. I'm not sure the depression is as significant as the borderline personality disorder tho. The moms may be depressed because they have a difficult life taking care of a troubled child.

I think you just shined a light on the path to awareness and enlightenment regarding this.
Docs prescribe antidepressants like candy nowadays to moms and children alike. They don't discriminate.
Maybe someone should pull the numbers on the moms of these "confused" children and note how many of them are on Rx antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds and any other SSRIs.
Hint...there's correlation (IMHO)

Mass Hysteria Isn't Just a 'Panic' — What It Means and Why It Happens People commonly use the term “mass hysteria” to describe a rapid spread of panic and fear. But the actual definition is a bit more complex.
Experts largely consider mass hysteria a type of conversion disorder, or mental health condition that involves physical symptoms prompted by emotional or mental tension.
In terms of sociology, it falls into the category of collective behavior, or the mostly spontaneous actions of a large group of people who influence each other.
Many expertsTrusted Source recognize two distinct types:
Mass anxiety hysteria. This typetends to show up among people who belong to the same close, often isolated, group or community. It involves sudden tension and other symptoms of anxiety, which “spread” and resolve fairly quickly.
Mass motor hysteria. This type tends to show up among people experiencing long-term stress and tension. It involves irregular motor (movement) symptoms that move from person to person gradually and often linger for weeks.
Mass hysteria usually spreads verbally and visually. So, people who see or hear about someone with symptoms often begin experiencing symptoms themselves.
Some experts use the term more loosely to describe any episodes of collective fear around a threat that doesn’t actually exist.

Only 53%?
Seems low to me.
Or maybe they should have checked for something like Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. That probably would have covered the other 47%.
You now have the issue of social contagion.
