Should transgender teens transition? This rather personal question occupies a prominent place in the American culture war. One the one side you have people claiming that it’s a socially contagious fad among the brainwashed woke who want to mutilate your innocent children. On the other side there are those saying that it’s saving the lives of minorities who’ve been forced to stay in the closet for too long. And then there are normal people, like you and I, who think both sides are crazy and could someone please summarise the facts in simple words, which is what I’m here for.

Clarification to what I say at 5:00: That's the definition of gender dysphoria for children (as I said).

At 7:25 the number which I say (25 million) referred only to the age group 1217, whereas the study that I previously talked about was for the age group 617. The total number of children age 617 is approximately 50 million, hence the correction on the screen. Sorry for the confusion!
