Woman says green veggies made her believe child is transgender.

Raw Green Vegetables: A Clue to Transgender Identity?

A Louisiana woman made a unique claim during a hearing on Tuesday, stating that her daughter’s love for raw green vegetables was one of the signs that led her to believe her child would identify as transgender. The woman appeared before the Louisiana State House’s Health and Welfare Committee to speak ahead of a vote on HB 463, which would ban “gender-affirming” surgical procedures for minors.

Odd Food Choices and Transgender Identity

The woman explained that her child had exhibited anxiety and trouble sleeping over a long period of time, and they had taken him to specialists and neurologists to figure out the problem. “Then as he grew, he got to sleeping but his food choices were odd. They were always like green vegetables, raw green vegetables — which, you know kids, most kids don’t like to eat those things,” she said.

She went on to say that once they realized he was transgender, they looked back and saw that the pattern of everything he had experienced as a child, including eating green vegetables, was just his body trying to become who he was meant to be. “His brain does not match his physiology,” she concluded.

While there may be some truth to the idea that raw green vegetables can boost testosterone levels, the same could be said of other foods such as pomegranates, oysters, certain fishes, onions, and raw ginger.

Other Signs of Transgender Identity

Another mother who testified at the same hearing said that she first knew her daughter would eventually identify as male because at 18 months old, the child gravitated toward “boy” toys during a shopping trip.

It’s clear that identifying as transgender is a complex issue, and there are many different signs and clues that can point to a person’s true identity. As lawmakers consider the ban on “gender-affirming” surgical procedures for minors, it’s important to listen to the stories of those who have experienced this journey firsthand.

• Raw green vegetables may be a clue to transgender identity, but other foods can also boost testosterone levels.
