Trans kids

This is an interesting article in a US publication about trans kids and rapid onset gender dysphoria.

After considering many aspects of the issue and anecdotal reports and data, the writer comes to the the conclusion that the distilled problem is that there is no way of determining which children are truly trans and which are not.

If we are to progress then sooner or later these mainstream writers are going to have to have the courage to say that there is no such thing as a transgender child.

Was just coming here to post that. It's an excellent article and even though it tries very hard to soften the message ("some kids need fast-tracked but not all") I'm sure there will be quite a backlash.

That's a good article. It really does seem as if the silence is being broken at long last.

More news outlets are covering this monstrous situation, and ordinary people are starting to understand what has been going on behind the scenes.

The BBC and Guardian who have been complicit in the news black out do not come out of this looking good. They've destroyed trust in their impartiality that won't be easy to rebuild.
