A new study from Definitive Healthcare shows that from 2018-2022 the number of people suffering from gender dysphoria in Maine increased 135 percent, with minors making up a fifth of that number.
Although Definitive Healthcare has since taken down its report, U.K news outlet The Daily Mail preserved its data in an article.
Maine’s massive increase in cases was far from being the worst in the country.
Virginia saw a staggering 274 percent increase in gender dysphoria cases, with Indiana coming in second, with a 247 percent increase.
Every state in the country except one saw growth in cases of the mental affliction, most of which were extremely significant increases.
“Greater social acceptance and increased awareness about the condition on the part of doctors can partly explain the increase in cases,” the Daily Mail wrote.
Only South Dakota experienced a decrease in the mental illness, with a 23 percent reduction from the 2018 rates.
Across the country, the increase in diagnoses went along with a significant increase in transgender surgeries, with 2021 seeing a 40 percent increase over the number recorded in 2018.
No data was provided on the number of these surgeries that were performed on minors, but, given that the rate of gender dysphoria has risen among minors, it is probable that that number has risen as well, despite Republican legislators’ attempts curb the controversial procedures for minors.

Many of the Republican controlled states seeking to curtail transgender procedures for minors saw the sharpest increases in gender dysphoria diagnoses.

“The DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition) estimates that about 0.005% to 0.014% of people assigned male at birth (5-14 per 100k) and 0.002% to 0.003% of people assigned female at birth (2-3 per 100k) are diagnosable with gender dysphoria.”
Those statistics don’t look like “greater social acceptance” to me. The increase is really for two obvious reasons:
1. Another opportunity for unscrupulous doctors and hospitals to make money;
2. Another narrative for the LGBTQW(Whatever) community to destroy the traditional nuclear family.
So, I say: Wake up people! You’re being manipulated by the Leftists in this country and around the globe.
Must be the never ending coverage of the swimmer Lia Thomas…the only “female” swimmer in the world with a prostate.
Where there’s the opportunity to make big bucks there is always someone willing to go along with any scam. Sad that so many medical centers and doctors are among them.
This kind of behavior is also coddled nowadays.
Did you know that at South Portland Middle School there are groups of students who “identify”? There is a group of “dogs” who when outside bark and play like dogs and if anyone teases them the kids in their right minds who are teasing and tossing them tennis balls get detention. There is a group of “cats”.
There are boys who “identify as girls” who walk around in tight leggings so all the world can see their non-girl parts.
These are kids whose parents and school employees are fostering and grooming mental and spiritual health issues that will harm these kids.
This is what happens when we took our eye off education. We allowed the radical, socialist, America hating teachers to preach their poison to the children.
This is the result of allowing so many radical, extremist teachers and school administrators into the schools. Given the fact that the whole transgenderism thing is a fantasy that will never actually happen, the schools shouldn’t be teaching or encouraging this nonsense.
