The Truth About Transgendered People

 In case anyone wants to share actual facts today.

In honor of Trans day of Visibility, I thought I'd offer actual facts about transgender people, rather than the misinformation people may spew

1. Being trans is not new. Around 5000-3000 BC, androgynous or trans priests, Gala, were recorded.

2. There aren't a ton of Trans people overtaking society. In fact, numbers show the percentage of trans people is about .01- .5 % of the population.

3. Trans people are not pedophiles or criminals. A UK study showed that trans people have a no higher criminality rate than cis (not transgender) people.

As a point of fact, sexual abuse allegations for Catholic priests as of 2024 reached into the thousands, the Boy Scouts of America estimate that nearly 7800 of their leaders were involved in sexual abuse, and 1/8 student athletes reports being sexually abused by their coaches, with that number jumping to 1/4 in college.

The fact is that transgender people are far more likely to become victims of sexual abuse than commit it.

4. The vast majority of transgender people do not regret transitioning. Regret numbers range from 1-3%. Of that small percentage, many say they regret it due to stigmatization. You are more likely to regret knee surgery than a trans person will regret gender affirming surgery. Any other surgery with a success rate of 96-99% would be considered a miracle.

5. Children are not being "mutilated" .

A study from JAMA pediatrics shows that, in a study of over 5 million patients, less than .1% of children 12-18 are receiving gender affirming meds. Those meds are puberty blockers, which do as they say. That means if they go off those blockers, they will then go through puberty.

It showed that NO children under 12 are receiving any medication, and they are certainly NOT having surgery. 0 children under 12 receive gender affirming surgery.

The rate from 13-14 is 2 per 100,000, and 5 per 100,000 ages 15-18. Of that tiny percentage (that's .000002%, and .00005% respectively), most were top surgeries. Their genitalia were not touched.

6. The big "student athlete" debate. Trans people make up less than 1% of athletes in college sports. Considering that tiny population, not all of them are trans women (they like to ignore that trans men exist in their fear mongering). On top of that, an even smaller percentage will be good enough to have any impact at all in their chosen sport. In 2023, there were a total of 5 Trans athletes in the NCAA. The chances that your daughter will be impacted by a trans athlete is absolutely minute. As a matter of fact, I'd be willing to bet that, without the use of a search engine, anyone can even name another trans athlete aside from Lia Thomas.

Please consider how your elected officials are spending MILLIONS of dollars on making laws that will influence. 01-.5% of the US population, and then tell me where the government waste really is.
