The Rise Of Unhappy 'Trans Kids' And The Role Of Progressive Parenting

Liberals need to ask some hard questions about why conservative kids are happier--and a lot less 'trans'
2

Conservative children have higher levels of happiness, joy in life, and enjoy greater mental health than kids in liberal families, according to moral psychologist Jonathan Haidt. It wasn’t always so, his research found; prior to 2012 there were minimal political differences. After 2012, depression and anxiety digressed politically; liberal kids’ mental health sank, most markedly for teenage girls and young women, with boys not far behind.

Why is that? I examine a little-discussed potential contributor to the rise of ‘trans kids’ and why they appear to be an almost exclusively progressive family phenomenon.
