Demographic data on transgender identification in the U.S. reveal that white individuals make up the majority of trans-identified adults. However, when adjusted for population size, Black and Latino individuals show slightly higher rates of trans-identification. This pattern suggests that cultural and social influences—not biological determinism—play a key role in shaping gender identity. The disproportionate presence of trans-identification across racial groups supports the idea that exposure to progressive gender ideology, education, and affirmation-seeking behaviors significantly impact identity formation. Recognizing these disparities is essential for understanding the societal and psychological forces driving trans-identification.This study relies on desk research, systematically gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing data from official sources. Its goal is to identify patterns, summarize existing studies, and construct a new theoretical framework on trans-identification. By examining biological, psychological, and sociological literature, this research challenges foundational claims, exposes contradictions, and evaluates their broader social and scientific implications.This paper explores the biological, physiological, psychological, and sociocultural barriers to a complete transition between sexes within trans-identification. It examines key biological differences—muscle physiology, skeletal structure, and neurological architecture—highlighting immutable traits that remain unchanged by hormones or surgery. Beyond biology, this analysis unpacks sociocultural influences, including the pursuit of minority status, affirmation-seeking behaviors, the reinforcement of regressive gender stereotypes, and divisive advocacy tactics.A novel term, Induced Ideological Maturity (IIM), is introduced to describe the premature imposition of complex sociocultural ideas, such as gender identity, onto young children—raising profound ethical and developmental concerns. The discussion critiques the contradictory language emerging from trans ideology, such as terms like "cisgender lesbian men," which undermine linguistic clarity and societal understanding of gender.These findings underscore the urgent need to separate subjective gender identity from the unchanging realities of biological sex. This paper calls for a critical reassessment of how biological and sociocultural dynamics intersect in trans-identification, exposing ideological contradictions, advocacy-driven challenges, and developmental risks like Induced Ideological Maturity (IIM). Grounded in an evidence-based framework, this analysis equips policymakers, educators, and clinicians with the tools to navigate trans-identification’s complexities and address its broader societal impact.This paper also critically examines counterarguments that claim gender identity is independent of biology, addressing their logical inconsistencies and empirical shortcomings. Additionally, it explores the role of sociopolitical influences—such as advocacy shifts, medicalization, and media representation—in shaping trans-identification patterns, particularly among individuals experiencing internalized homophobia.

To explore the mechanism of perceived social support on the psychological adaptation of adolescents, this study investigated 895 adolescents from six middle schools (junior high and senior high) in the northwest region of China using the Perceived Social Support Scale, Psychological Adaptation Questionnaire, Just World Belief Scale, and Personal Control Scale. The results showed that perceived social support was significantly positively correlated with psychological adaptation (r = 0.529, P < 0.001), just world belief (r = 0.393, P < 0.001), and personal control (r = 0.387, P < 0.001). Regression analysis indicated that perceived social support could significantly positively predict psychological adaptation (β = 0.529, t = 18.217, P < 0.001), just world belief significantly positively affected psychological adaptation (β = 0.184, t = 5.948, P < 0.001), and personal control significantly positively affected psychological adaptation (β = 0.067, t = 2.127, P = 0.034). The results of the structural equation model showed that just world belief and personal control played a multiple mediating role between perceived social support and psychological adaptation (χ2 = 138.743, df = 38, χ2/df = 3.651, GFI = 0.973, AGFI = 0.953, CFI = 0.977, IFI = 0.977, NFI = 0.969, TLI = 0.967, RMSEA = 0.054). That is, perceived social support can not only directly influence the psychological adaptation of adolescents but also indirectly affect it through the simple multiple mediating effects of just world belief and personal control, as well as through the chain mediating effects of just world belief and personal control.

Undoubtedly, discovering the meaning of the world is necessary to man as an individual. This is the reason for the appearance of the great utopian ideas throughout history: Plato, Christ, Moore, Owen, Saint-Simon, Marx, and Engels. If, however, an institution or armed force stands behind such an idea, its meaning will necessarily become inverted. The idea that a classless society of justice and prosperity could be created through armed revolution and then the dictatorship of the communist avant-garde in the name of the proletariat led, on the contrary, to the creation of a NEW CLASS (Milovan Djilas, 1957, in English) and the cult of personality — which is why Yugoslavia fell apart. The new class disintegrated, each in the name of its national God, proving precisely Marx's thesis that religion is the opium of the people. It has been shown that the political economy of socialism does not exist. One cannot simply add French utopian socialism to the historical materialism of class struggle with the forcible seizure of the means of labor and by that to get the political economy of socialism. No matter how much historical materialism was science, it turned out it is science only up to capitalism. Historical materialism has come to a standstill with capitalism. It turned out that the epistemological theory of reflection is naive: human consciousness is not just a mere reflection of objective reality, so the Communist Party will tell us what is a correct reflection and what is not. Human consciousness is a co-creator of the world as we see it and as we think about it — just as the postulate c=const is true in all inertial coordinate systems because c=const is created only in interaction with a receiver. Without receivers (masses, atoms), the cosmic ether and the speed of photons are completely indeter¬minate, like a true completely indeterminate infinity (as Hegel would put it). No armed struggle can create a society of justice and prosperity because the contradiction between labor and capital is not the last one in society, because there is no last contradiction. Man himself is a contradiction, on the one hand as an individual, on the other as a social being. The peaceful protests of students in Serbia are only a condition for understanding this. Scientific analyses of what and how with historical materialism about capitalism have yet to be created. In this sense, the Yugoslav experience can be instructive, in this sense the collection of short stories THROUGH SOCIALISM TO WAR can be useful. Moreover, the experience of peaceful student protests is already a significant indicator of how to move forward.

Objective: To discuss the psychological pathogenic factors for and pathological mechanisms of depression and mania. Methods: Case analysis, simulated experience, and theoretical idea. Result or Conclusion: The psychological pathogenic factors for depression and mania are all of an emotional breakage between a person and the interpersonal world, which is caused by an individual separating him/herself emotionally from the interpersonal world. There are many causes of the occurrence of such a situation, yet the person still yearns to integrate emotionally into the interpersonal world. The continuance of this psychological conflict will make a person’s psychological energy drained, and cause him/her to emotionally forgo the interpersonal world at last. Thereafter, depression will occur if his/her interest and psychological energy are directed towards the self; and mania will occur if towards the image associated with wish, desire, sentiment and emotion.

This study conducts a comparative analysis of Histrionic Personality (HP) and Narcissistic Personality (NP) traits using the Deenz Histrionic Personality Scale (DHPS) and the Deenz Narcissistic Personality Scale (DNPS), developed by Deen (2024). Both HP and NP are characterized by a strong desire for attention and admiration, yet they manifest differently. Individuals with HP exhibit excessive emotional expressiveness and attention-seeking through dramatic or manipulative behaviors, while those with NP display an inflated self-image and seek admiration through a sense of superiority. Despite overlapping traits, such as attention-seeking, the motivations behind these behaviors differ significantly. The study involved 64 participants who completed computerized versions of the DHPS and DNPS, assessing facets such as grandiosity, fantasy, entitlement, emotional reactivity, impulsivity, and empathy. Results revealed that HP traits are more emotionally reactive and driven by a need for validation through dramatic emotional displays, whereas NP traits are rooted in a rigid belief in superiority and entitlement. These findings have important implications for clinical diagnosis and intervention strategies, enhancing our understanding of these personality types and informing tailored therapeutic approaches.
