Welcome to a break point, a daily look at an ever-changing culture through the lens of

unchanging truth.

For the Colston Center, I'm John Stone Street.

Well, epidemics demand explanations when a hospital receives a sudden influx of patients with similar

symptoms, doctors will look for a shared cause, contagion, or incident to explain it.

However, for some reason, there's been a public health crisis that has emerged in recent

years that has not triggered the kind of large-scale investigation into causes that is required.

In fact, we're hardly allowed to even acknowledge it as a problem.

Over at her sub-stack, which is called Generation Tech,

Psychologists, an author Jean Twangie, explained a new paper published by she and two colleagues on the explosion

of gender confusion.

Analyzing government data on nearly 2 million adults collected since 2014, Twangi and her colleague found that transgender identification

in the general population has increased by nearly 70 percent.

In fact, for Americans 18 to 25, trans identity skyrocketed from representing just

over half a percent of the population in 2014 to over 3 percent of the population in 2023.

In other words, in less than a decade, the share of American young people identifying as

transgender quintupled, with the vast majority of that increase being among women and girls.

The story we are all told to explain this, and one that the public has been almost required

to believe, is that gender expression is simply an expression of one's authentic self,

probably something people are born with, and finally we're now a culture that

allows people to just be who they really are.

But if that's the case, why is this epidemic occurring overwhelmingly in one age bracket and in one sex?
