    "Newsworthy.*

    Quickly, without googling, what percentage of the human population do you believe is trans? Or first, what percent do you think it should be in order to make it "newsworthy "? Maybe 10%? Gotta be, right? Seems like they’re everywhere… No? Maybe 3% give or take? 1%?

    Try 1/2 of 1%. Is that “newsworthy” enough to make a few thousand kids suicidal?

    Meanwhile, auto accidents is no longer the number one cause of death amongst the youth in the US, it has been supplanted by firearms.

    But that’s just not “newsworthy” enough to do something about? Isn’t this about the safety of the children?

      There were other terms for being trans such as the indigenous American word two spirit or the Arabic Mukhannath. There was an African one where a woman would become a third gender in order to own land but I forgot the term.

      Edit: Here is a link about the genders in Judiasm, https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/the-eight-genders-in-the-talmud/

      I meant everywhere as in trans is not just a recent concept someone made up.
