Don't be an idiot, this is an old trope, that's what they used to say about being gay and was disproved, just like being trans. Kids typically know their gender by 3 years old (studies have confirmed this).
If you want to argue your case, then you also have to accept that adult propaganda also makes people think they are not transgender when they are. Maybe you are actually trans, and adult propaganda made you think you are cisgender ?
Regarding your comment about the old trope about being gay: how could it be proved or disproved? The proportion of people publicly out as homosexual, bisexual and transgender has increased as society has changed. But people can be influenced in both directions, so we can't be certain if there were more people who wrongly identified themselves as straight/cis in the past or more who wrongly identify themselves as gay/trans currently.
I'd heard that some trans people know their gender very early. But there are a lot of teenagers who suddenly say they are transgender, having never previously indicated this. Apparently it is particularly common in girls. I've seen two observations/claims made about this:
1) Quite a lot of them are girls who realised they were attracted to other girls, but couldn't accept they were homosexual, so they thought they were transgender and transitioned (took testosterone etc.).
(I've only heard about this, so I don't know how common this is. But it seems odd. Why would girls find being transgender an easier idea to cope with than homosexuality? I would have thought tolerance for homosexuality was quite high, especially by women, and especially of lesbianism.)
2) Girls are more prone to a kind of social contagion (not sure if there's a better term), whereby certain behaviours get copied. For example if a girl develops an eating disorder, it's quite common for several of her friends to develop eating disorders, whereas this isn't common for boys. The rapid increase in teen girls identifying as transgender suggests it is not their true nature (at least not for the majority of them), but a response to the other girls.
I'm a bit sceptical of the claim that most people know their gender by 3 year old though. I don't think 3 year olds have enough impulse control or understanding of social issues to be affected by changing attitudes. If they thought they were transgender they would be as likely to tell you today as they were in the late 20th century or early 20th century. Maybe there are a lot of 3 year olds who know they are transgender, but are unable to articulate it?
If there’s anyone who’s qualified to call out crimes against humanity, we can all certainly agree it’s Vladimir Putin.
There are many things to like about Putin. Not all things, but many things.

I'm going to weigh in on this and I am doing under this screen name so that the crazies don't do anything directly in response to my screen name here.
Fact is that gender is a construct and sex is fixed.
But even as children, we're well aware that we don't fit into certain typical gender roles.
The whole movement about awareness of gender is so that kids are accepting of boys and girls whose whim drifts them off into the matrix of the other gender.
It's not to turn boys into girls or girls into boys.
I believe that being genderfluid is ingrained in everyone. If you've ever snapped a towel at someone's backside in the locker room or were intentionally nude around another man or woman in a fraternity or sorority pledging (fyi, I've done none of these)_ then invariably you have gender fluidism in you in some way, whether or not you admit it.
As a kid, I loved sports of course but I also loved scratch and sniff stickers, hopscotch, jumping rope and the variation of hand pat games that we played.
I could cry easily and loved to "chitchat"...
I was well aware that I had feelings and was aware of what they were.
My father hated me because I was "effeminate" and "gay as a three dollar bill" according to him.
In high school and college, my poetry and writing took on a very "flowery" style and some of my perspective was written from the female side. Why? Because I know it's there in some capacity.
I'm not ashamed nor embarrassed to write this since people have been calling me gay or have been alluding to it most of my life.
I'm not ashamed because it's all part of being me and it's not that I don't want to switch, but that I can't...and honestly, I'm confident enough in myself that I don't sweat the judgment or ridicule.
The first time I saw transvestites when I was 7 after we ate at El Torito in Westminster, CA, I didn't know they were men..until my parents told me. But all I was thinking was "what beautiful dresses!"
When I was nine, I was with my mom shopping and I picked out a dress that she would eventually wear on a fancy date with my father.
Purple is still my ultimate favorite color.
Some of you may never grow up and that's sad

It's embarrassing for you.
Clever, and good, points. As a fellow leftist, I agree w/ most of this. But you, then, also need to acknowledge that the vast majority of Americans on the left and right are not in favor of allowing children to transition genders, or for their children to be force-vaccinated by gov’t mandate (California).

Or did everyone here pretty much decide to be the gender they are ? What a weird concept.
All trans people are doing is outwardly identifying as their correct gender, and for some making their body align with it.
You are making the assumption that gender is real and innate. It is neither. It doesn’t exist.

What an epiphany! If it doesn't exist, then it's just humans being different and diverse like humans. No discrimination necessary.

I'm not sure about this.
If gender doesn't exist, why do males and females tend to behave differently? Arguably it's a social construction, as feminists tend to say. But why is it similar in different cultures? Doesn't that suggest there is some underlying reason why males and females behave differently to each other, similarly across cultures?

The idea that gender is a social construct is quack science dreamt up in the frigid minds of 70's feminist professors.
Ironically, 'gender as a social construct' was invented by feminists in order to increase the options and freedoms of women from stereotypical social roles. Now the gender genie is out of the bottle, and it's being used by middle-aged men who get a thrill out of dressing up as women to justify sending feminists death threats, especially if they disagree that trans woman have a right to flash their balls to 9 year old girls in women's public restrooms.
Equally ironic is the fact that 90% of the leftie hobby joggers here insisting gender is a construct also insist that Kenyans and Ethiopians are 'born to run', lol.

All trans people are doing is outwardly identifying as their correct gender, and for some making their body align with it.
The notion that gender and gender identity are fixed and immutable is outdated - and many now consider it blatantly transphobic. Fact is, lots of people change their gender/gender identity multiple times over the course of their lives.
Moreover, many people nowadays change their gender/gender identity from day to day depending on what suits them; the term for this is "gender fluid." Dictionary dot com defines gender fluid as "noting or relating to a person whose gender identity or gender expression is not fixed and shifts over time or changes depending on the situation."
Merriam-Webster:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gender-fluidActor and comic Eddie Izzard, singer Sam Smith and UK finance executive Pips Bunce are well-known examples of individuals whose gender identities shift from day to day and from one setting to the next. Sometimes these guys feel, "identify as" and "present as" bog standard blokes, other times they get dolled up in what Izzard calls "girl mode." When in "girl mode" Izzard, Bunce and many others like them take it as their right to use women's loos, change rooms, locker rooms, etc - and they condemn any girl or woman who feels uneasy about grown men in such spaces as hateful bigots.
Bunce explains: ‘I like to be Phil one day and Pippa another, using different forms of dress and make-up to do so. I do it at home and at work. I am straight, have been married for more than 20 years and have two children.’
In 2018, Bunce was named one of the "Top 100 Female Executives" in the UK by the Financial Times HERoes Champions of Women in Business awards program. In response, Bunce said: ‘I am truly honoured and humbled by this award and am proud of the progress we are making towards all forms of gender diversity and equality.’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6197705/City-workers-hit-gender-fluid-banker-works-days-Philip-Pippa.htmlThough Bunce is heterosexual like Eddie Izzard and most others males who claim to be trans or gender fluid, Bunce nonetheless also won the annual "LGBT+" Inspirational Leader Award" at the 2018 British LGBT awards. Straight people who "identify as" trans, non-binary, gender fluid, "gender queer," and "gender fxck" like Bunce now constitute significant portion of the "LGBTQ+" in Anglophone countries.
Some of the large numbers of heterosexuals using gender identity labels to claim membership in the "LGBTQ+" today are openly homophobic. As a result, many gay men, lesbians and bisexuals who believe that sexual attraction is about biological sex and not gender identity are being told they are no longer welcome in " the LGBTQ+." Some homosexuals are being subjected to homophobic bullying, abuse and smear campaigns from within today's "LGBTQ+ community" and also from gay rights orgs which they helped found.
Mermaids, the controversial UK charity that promotes medical transition of children who are confused about gender and might be grow up to be gay, recently lent its social media platforms to a gender fluid obviously male adult named Derwen Fay to bring attention to how laws and policies requiring picture IDs to vote and for other purposes are oppressive to people whose gender identity changes from one day to the next, or from moment to moment, as Fay's gender identity does. Fay explained that having official ID for only one of Fay's gender identities has caused Fay to suffer "microaggressions" such as what Fay has interpreted as "judging looks" from strangers.
My gender identity moves quite regularly between feeling non-binary, female, and occasionally male, so any form of binary gendered ID will not accurately represent how I identify on that particular day.
Some people change their gender/gender identity from moment to moment. It's because of the growing popularity of embracing a gender fluid "identity" that LGBTQ+ orgs now advise,
People should always ask a person for their pronouns before assuming. There are no fixed set of pronouns for gender-fluid people, as no pronouns are tied to a specific gender.
A gender-fluid person may ask you to switch the pronouns you use for them depending on how they are feeling about their personal gender at a given time.
This isn't really what I meant, the subtlety is in the language, and why I used change and not changes. By "change" their gender, what I mean is they can't consciously change it (you can choose how to identify with it outwardly). That's not to say that gender itself can't change over time or can be fluid (especially due to hormones etc).
