Okay Annee.
Can't speak on my source, but they cite their sources. And that stuff is happening in schools. You can do the research yourself I guess.
I think you're a predator apologist at this point.
I'm really disappointed to have to come to that conclusion.
I am disappointed that you would come to that false conclusion.
It's not a false conclusion.
Every conversation ends the same way. Ignorant support of the harm of children.
It's disgusting.
I can say the same of you. You want them to force the transgender children to be who they are not, risking depression, self harm and suicide.
But I won't because I know you are too ignorant to comprehend what you are advocating for.
There are no transgender children. In fact there is no human who can transition between the two genders as it's physically impossible. And remember gender = sex
The trans lobby wants gender to be something else completely but they haven't succeeded as the movement is empty and based on nothing more than linguistics.
And yet scientists continue to study the brain in hopes of understanding whether a sense of the gendered self can, at least in part, be the result of neurology. A study described by author Francine Russo in Scientific American examined the brains of 39 prepubertal and 41 adolescent boys and girls with gender dysphoria. The experiment examined how these children responded to androstadienone, a pungent substance similar to pheromones, that is known to cause a different response in the brains of men and women. The study found that adolescent boys and girls who described themselves as trans responded like the peers of their perceived gender. (The results were less clear with prepubescent children.)
This kind of testing is important, said one of the researchers Russo quoted, “because sex differences in responding to odors cannot be influenced by training or environment.” A similar study was done in measuring the responses of trans boys and girls to echolike sounds produced in the inner ear. “Boys with gender dysphoria responded more like typical females, who have a stronger response to these sounds.”

Then more scientific studies seem to prove you wrong, again.

Jennifer Finney Boylan is a professor of English at Barnard College of Columbia University and a fellow at Harvard University’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Her most recent book is “Mad Honey,” co-written with Jodi Picoult.
Humans cannot change sex, which was determined at fertilization (genotype) and during embryonic development (phenotype).
Other investigators have looked at sex differences through brain functioning. In a study published in 2014, psychologist Sarah M. Burke of VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam and biologist Julie Bakker of the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience used functional MRI to examine how 39 prepubertal and 41 adolescent boys and girls with gender dysphoria responded to androstadienone, an odorous steroid with pheromonelike properties that is known to cause a different response in the hypothalamus of men versus women. They found that the adolescent boys and girls with gender dysphoria responded much like peers of their experienced gender. The results were less clear with the prepubertal children.

I'm not sure if you are deliberately playing games here or you simply can't help yourself in reading only what you want to see. As per the study she is talking about, this is it.

Do you see the titles of psychologist and biologist?
What you have called 'scientific studies' is nothing more than an opinion piece in Washington Post by some unqualified professor of English...who claims some nonsense about sex. To understand sex look at the brain she says which is false and nonsensical.

No we don't as sex cannot change and it depends only on chromosomes.

Sex is either male or female (binary) and can't change no matter what the trans lobby is trying either online or offline. Grade8 biology is enough to refute every claim made about sex change. There is no evidence anyone ever has changed sex.

Nowhere in the study you linked gender dysphoria is equated with 'being transgender' or with sex change (which is physically impossible).
One of the authors is a psychologist who worked in gender field studies. Another is a psychiatrist. From her work description.
Again, from a developmental neuroscience perspective, her aim is to explore and explain the mismatch between one’s subjective experience of self and the physical reality of the own body.
In a few words she is trying to explain what was known as gender identity disorder. It's so clear those who really think they're the other gender have a mental health issue.
The study shows how the brain reacts in different ways brains exposed to a specific pheromone. Nothing else. It nowhere shows the brain of transgender young people is the same as their identified gender.
These results suggest that as children with gender dysphoria grow up, their brain naturally undergoes a partial rewiring, to become more similar to the brain of the opposite sex -- so corresponding to their experienced gender.

Right there in black and white in a scientific journal. We need a blinders on person's head meme.

congrats. If you pump a kid full of drugs and lop off his dick, and tell him every day he's a she, eventually, he will believe it. Even when the reality is he will never stop being a boy dressed like a girl. Sounds like a fantastic plan. In case you wondered why folks think you are nuts, this is a great example.

I am posting scientific studies that disprove it's a mental illness or they are somehow groomed into that mental state. If the usual suspects here think I'm nuts, then all the scientists that agree with me must be nuts too, is that your stance?

I really don't think you know how science works.
And that's speaking as a scientist.
If we just trusted one study then the sun would still revolve around the Earth, bathing would be considered irrational, and women would not be allowed to go onto higher education because their brains aren't as complex.

You all non-believers of neuroscientific empirical evidence (MRI) in regards to transgendered brains are hanging on to the old limited science. You are all guilty of trusting that science and not having an open mind with the new scientific methods. But you are right in one respect, that is only one study among many of it's kind, and I will be keeping track of these studies that scientists are right now repeating for truth.
