More propaganda from Mermaids

The transing of young children and teens always strikes me as a kind of Munchhausens by proxy.

It says more about the parent than the child, IMO.

I saw an article by a trans man with a lot of photos of the injections, scars etc and for some reason them curled up in the foetal position (it sure of it was as a result of medication) and how they looked in real life. No attempt to sugar coat their life - and not was there the anger or entitlement you hear from the vocal trans woman.

They never announced that they were more male than a born man or that men who weren’t manly were women. It was much more introverted and soul searching than ‘everyone look at how wonderful I am’ and if memory serves me, they didn’t say ‘I am an authentic man’.

How different the sexed are.

Liverpool. Culturally, very rigid re gender roles. I’m from there so I know. Not everyone buys in of course but most do. As a woman who doesn’t dye her grey, wear many dresses, fake a tan or put much make up on, I am a daring renegade. In that culture, trans far easier to cope with than effeminate males or masculine females.

Why are they still allowed to tell parents this lie when it simply isn't true!

LordProf yeah I do suspect homophobia is often behind it. There is no mention that this child displayed any suicidal tendencies yet the mum is convinced that he would kill himself unless she 100% affirmed it. Mermaids have so much to answer for.

Meroses pisses me off how they put a fairytale spin on something that will involve a lifetime of medical treatment and which none of the adults like Susie Green have gone through themselves. I can’t think of any trans adults who medically transitioned as kids yet they are happy to push it. Only maybe Jazz Jennings but it’s too early to know the full impact of that one. Mermaids want surgery to be available under 16.

I think the correct expression is ‘I’d rather have a child on a lifetime of medication, surgery, infertility, plus health, emotional and IQ issues (and possible burning resentment and hatred when they grow up) than a potentially gay child’.

OhHoly she was mentioning some sort of poster she had seen, which I presume was the photo in question. I just wanted to know who the poster was aimed at and what sort of context it was. Can’t say I am any the wiser after the comment about freshers!

@Pota2 I think FannyCamm meant she gives up trying to load the photo. Not saying everyone else should give up...but that's how I read it.

I can either have a dead son or a happy, confident daughter.”

The mother has been told that manipulative lie.
I sincerely hope the child does grow up happy and confident - maybe this child really is dysphoric and will want to transition in due course. But this early, overly public, declaration has likely made it harder to backtrack and become a happy, confident gender nonconforming son.

This one?

FannyCann who or what was it aimed at?

Freshers? (no, not really, I know most of them are sane and hardworking!)

FannyCann who or what was it aimed at?

I really find that "authentic self" mantra quite sinister

I like the way they included medical opinions, though, and make it clear the mother is going against them.

Give up. Anyway it was a coloured board suitable for a nursery saying "Once upon a time....Ride unicorns, swim with mermaids, dance with fairies"

Hmm. Won't upload my photo for some reason. Sorry.

Saw this on a market stall yesterday. Dancing with fairies. Seems about right.
