This is a fun one, a study from 1991 on mothers of boys with “Gender Identity Disorder” showed that mothers of boys with GID had a 25% chance of borderline psychopathic disorder versus 0% in the control group, 46% of mothers with GID sons had scores in the BDI range (Beck depression inventory) versus 6% in the control group. All together mothers of sons with GID had a 53% chance of having DIB or BDI with the control group at 6% and exclusively in the depression inventory.

So it confirms what we've known for a while now: Mentally ill women are transing their kids (their sons especially) for attention.
Here I thought Charlize Theron had two adopted kids go trans because she was such a compassionate person
Let's be fair another potential explanation is that once they realize they failed as mothers they go crazy (this is refuted in the article though). Or even that there is some external factor to both that cause both mothers and kids to go crazy.Yet another is the same genetics that made the mother crazy get passed to the kid that make him crazy. But yeah most likely it's crazy women troon their kids.
As someone with a batshit crazy mother, it takes effort to escape a bad mother's orbit, just because of the behavioral conditioning you receive as a child. The metric I was told was 'a year apart for a year together' based on your childhood, that could easily be DECADES. I would expect a lot of very deep mid-life crises for the men who decide Transing is the answer, with a percentage detransing and a larger percentage ending themselves.
Not really. They used a small sample size (16 women with GID group, 17 in control group). That roughly 50% of the GID mothers had some psychopathic disorder or depression does not explain what is going on with the other half. And as someone else already said, whether this is some nature vs nurture thing and if women with these disorders are more likely to give birth to mentally ill sons as well.
This is one of those studies that really need follow up studies.
