A recent study found that teenagers and young adults account for approximately 43 percent of the 1.6 million individuals in America 13 years and older who consider themselves transgender.

The report was made by UCLA’s Williams Institute based on polling data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System in order to provide an estimate of how many Americans see themselves as transgender.

The institute found that, although the number of transgender-identifying adults has remained virtually constant since the previous report in 2017, the number of transgender adolescents ages 13-17 has practically doubled. About 18 percent of self-identifying transgenders are in the latter age range, even though they are only eight percent of the total population in America.

“Advances in gender identity data collection over the past five years have provided a more accurate picture of youth in the U.S. who identify as transgender. Previously, we could only estimate that based on adult data,” said lead author Jody Herman in a news release, per The Hill.

“These new estimates show us that current policy debates regarding access to gender-affirming care and the ability to participate in team sports likely impact more youth than we previously thought,” said Herman.

The report found transgenders in all 50 states. According to the results, three percent of transgender youth are in New York, whereas, by contrast, just 0.9 percent are in Wyoming.

The report also found that the racial and ethnic breakdown of those who consider themselves transgender is similar to that of the U.S. population in general. The researchers, however, want more studies.

“Better collection of data about transgender people on federal surveys is vital to understand the characteristics, experiences, well-being, and needs of the transgender population in the United States,” study author Andrew R. Flores said in the press release.

“The CDC should make the YRBS and BRFSS gender identity questions part of the core survey rather than optional questions, and the U.S. government should include questions to identify transgender people in all federal surveys.”

Research indicates that transgenderism is largely not innate, but the result of programming from the adults in children’s lives. One study compared a group of mothers of gender confused boys with mothers of normal boys. It found “that mothers of boys with GID [Gender Identity Disorder] had more symptoms of depression and more often met the criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder than the controls. Fifty-three percent of the mothers of boys with GID compared with only 6% of controls met the diagnosis for Borderline Personality Disorder.”

This explains why transgenderism has seen such an explosion among the nation’s youth. Be it in entertainment, the classrooms, or on social media, young people today are constantly being bombarded by transgender and other LGBT propaganda, leading them to believe that any insecurity they have with their bodies (something that was once considered a natural phase in growing up) is the result of having been “mis-gendered” at birth.

In one example of how schools are subtly inserting transgender propaganda in the classroom, a North Carolina preschool recently stirred outrage after it used LGBT flash cards to teach children colors. One of these flash cards even had a drawing of a pregnant man.

And as an example of how LGBT brainwashing is taking place in the most unlikely places, a U.S. Air Force base’s library recently hosted a Drag Queen Story Time.

“We’re celebrating Pride Month at the Ramstein Library with Drag Queen Storytime! Join us with special guest reader Stacey Teed! Be sure to wear your brightest and most colorful outfits!” the event page read.

Then there’s toy maker Mattel, which has now come out with its first-ever transgender Barbie doll.

“Toymaker Mattel has partnered with transgender actor Laverne Cox to create its first transgender Barbie doll modeled after the Emmy Award-winning celebrity’s likeness,” the Gateway Pundit reports.

The Left will argue that transgenderism is natural and they are simply trying to create an open environment in which kids can be themselves. But the opposite is true. They are deliberately engineering a generation of gender-confused people through a careful campaign of incessant propaganda.

It’s a sad state for a nation when prayer and the Bible are kept out of schools but child abuse and grooming are put on a pedestal.
