Didn’t say the objects themselves have gender. The objects the kids made reflected the God-given gender of the kids. And I’ve seen this over and over, on numerous occasions.
The explosion (i.e. plague) of gender confusion is primarily due to social contagion and / or the insanity + wickedness of adults with an agenda.

That’s like the silly notion that pink is a girl’s color. And the notion that some children are gender non-conforming because of social contagion is also questionable. I know gay men who are in their 70s and grew up in the 1940s who have told me that they were gender non-conforming as children and liked to play with dolls. That was in a period when such behavior would probably not have been encouraged.

Nurture, not nature.

Suffice it to say I know a lot more about what’s going on in California schools than you do.

I just don’t understand why you are so intent on slamming a whole metropolitan area that you don’t even live in (as we may surmise from your comment “Thank God that in my area…”). Depending on what you do or don’t know, it’s either rash judgment, detraction, or calumny. That’s not how we fight evil.
 
I’ll slam school districts, boards, and even state governments that push the LGBetc. ideology in schools. And I’ll slam them all night, regardless of anyone else’s sactimonious whining.

Sometimes I think people just see a kid not acting the way a girl or a boy “should act” (aka not fitting into gender stereotypes) and just assume they’re trans.

Which is a completely bizarre conclusion!
(I’m not saying you would think that, but it seems like a growing number of parents are willing to jump to that assumption 😳

My straight-and-cis father is from that age group and had a little dolly he liked to play with sometimes when he was very little.
Along with trucks and blocks and stuffed animals and books…
 
I’m sorry but describing your father as “straight cis” just demonstrates the absurdity and bizarreness.
 
I played with Barbies, briefly, about age 10 or so. Only because I wanted to get close to the gorgeous girl who the Barbies belonged to, lol!
 
Nobody said one can’t seem “happy” in a delusional state. However, there’s only one real happiness.

So, what would your treatment plan be for people who suffer from gender dysphoria? Since you seem to have strong opinions on this issue, I would be interested in hearing a more constructive response than just saying that Transgender people are “delusional”. That’s not going to help anyone.

I don’t know a lot about this issue, but I do know some Transgender people and I try to listen to and understand what they’re saying to me. They all seem pretty sane to me.

No doubt it’s a combination of psychological and spiritual disorders.
 
Exactly. I’ve heard stories where almighty government has taken children away from their parents because they would not let them change their sex. The government classified that as “child abuse”. It’s a stark reminder that your children don’t really belong to God, or to you, but the State. That is a very scary thought.

The government has replaced God in our lives.
 
I’m of the opinion that any approach to transgender minors requires exceptional caution e.g. nothing that can’t be reasonably reversed.

That said, for those who seem almost obsessed with such issues, are you really being driven by disgust or concerned love? Concerned love tries to find mitigation to transgender suicide rates. Believe it or not it’s public scorn that drives many, but not all, of the surgeries. Concerned love approaches this as they would approach their child without outright rejection.
 
If that is what relieves the dysphoria, yes. If that is what relieves their anxiety, yes. If it keeps thoughts of suicide, yes.

You describe it as a delusion but drugs can be effective treatment for delusions. Gender dysphoria cannot be treated with medication. And we see how well reparative therapy worked on gay men and lesbians, NOT, so don’t suggest that other treatment is available unless you can direct us to it.
