In white-bread, suburban ennui-filled Minnesota, a truly baffling number of students now identify as trans. At 3%, that's one in every classroom. Can we admit now that trans is the new emo or goth, a trendy subculture that recruits by telling kids they can join up if no one understands them and they're depressed and hate life?
Fucking sad that little kids are getting sterilized. Plenty of former goth and emo people became perfectly normal, productive members of societies with kids and houses and jobs. Now, these same kids who would have signed on to listen to Morrissey or Jimmy Eat World are getting into a subculture that tells them to spend all their savings (and that of their friends and relatives, if possible) on plastic surgery to make them feel better.
Maybe cutting wasn't the actual worst way to deal with the pain of being an adolescent with no real struggles or challenges besides the ones invented by your own psyche.
