I remember seeing at least one transgender that thought it was a mental disease/condition.

I agree, I think they have an identity issue, perhaps it's a type of brain damage to a certain area, maybe even a virus or bacteria play a role seeing as out guts are being deprived of good bacteria and bacteria control/affect our mood and more. Or just diet related as there are over 80,000 approved chemicals in the food supply, with a high amount of chemicals mimicking estrogen hormones in plastics and herbicides.

Maybe it's stress related, maybe it's a generation of people fucked up by their freak parents and new age ideas on raising children.

Though to say, but in some cultures like the Philippines I think there are higher rates of "lady boys" where dave c described it as the women leave the country and send money back to Philippines while the men sit at home emasculated.

There's a lot of different reasons, but this culture in America is getting sicker by the day. IMO I think the music industry will slowly merge with porn, entertainment will become just sexualized nonsense, and overall the people are screwed. Even if the majority of people dis-like it, the push is coming from "above" and people will be silenced and criticized for any dissent on anything that state does or supports. "fringe" information will be censored and anything that tries to become a platform for dissent will be banned or shut down economically where possible.

Anyways good fucking luck, many Americans are completely brainwashed and hopeless, they will fight for the state to retain and expand it's power. They will fight for their own enslavement just as the British once did. The only difference is the British were smart enough to abandon their army in favor of living in America.
