Young people are open about voting based on “vibes.” They are not informed on, nor are interested, in policy. It’s a popularity contest. It’s about proximity to their favorite celebrities and the “good feels” they get believing they’re voting for social progress.

🚨: Tim Walz is celebrated by the left as a "champion of children" for policies claimed to benefit Minnesota youth.
But in May, he signed into law the most radical child welfare reform bill in the U.S., marking the most dangerous application of DEI principles to date. 🧵
Walz's law, the African American Family Preservation and Child Welfare Disproportionality Act, is a method to enforce racial equity by lowering the standards for removing children from homes where they may have been neglected or abused—based on factors like race.
Activists have zeroed in on child welfare, where black children are overrepresented, claiming racial disparities are due to "institutional racism." Some radicals wish to "abolish" foster care altogether, which they call the "family policing system." upendmovement.org/framework/
The distress young people feel is real, but it is being misattributed to a trans-identity. Trans-identified youth often have severe emotional and behavioral issues, similar to the “troubled teen” experience, a term that was used to describe me as a teen.🧵
Studies showing that trans-identified teens frequently present to psychiatric hospitals and the ER with severe emotional and behavioral issues are common. They often have eating disorders, psychiatric disorders, autistic traits, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm.
When I was 15 in 2004, I had depression, anorexia, OCD, and many psych hospitalizations + ER visits for suicide attempts and self-harm—these are among the ways I expressed the pain I was in. Today, trans-identification in youth and young adults can be another expression of pain.
This exchange between @JoyAnnReid and @realchrisrufo in 2021 was a turning point for me. Watching it live, I remember the anger I felt seeing her gaslighting and refusing to let Rufo finish a sentence. Until then, I had viewed the mainstream media in a positive light. 🧵
I was mostly apolitical until 2020, voting Democrat in every election since 18. I hadn’t looked into many issues deeply because I trusted what mainstream media told me. Before this exchange, I naively believed they were committed to objectivity and truth.
But in early 2021, I began seeing cracks in mainstream media narratives. I had observed the concepts of critical race theory in K-12 education, despite being repeatedly told it wasn't happening. It would be another year before journalists would even acknowledge it.
🚨 GROUND-BREAKING NEW STUDY: A long-term study from Germany on insurance data reveals that the majority of youth outgrow their transgender identity, with 72.7% of 15-19-year-old females with a gender identity diagnosis desisting after five years.

A long-term German study found that more than half of young people aged 5-24 across every age subgroup diagnosed with "gender identity disorder" no longer had the diagnosis after five years. Over 63% of those diagnosed in 2017 desisted by 2022. buttonslives.news/p/new-study-mo…
A key strength of this study is its comprehensive outpatient billing data for all legally insured persons in Germany, offering a large, representative sample. The observation period from 2013 to 2022 provides valuable insights into long-term trends and diagnosis rates.
