Thank you for posting the link to that video, sorry, i don't know who the person in it is but i'd be interested to hear/read more of what they had to say.
Iirc, the original Mengele never had to answer for his crimes but it's incumbent on all of us, to make sure, that not one of those responsible for this crime goes unpunished and every last one of those latter day Mengele's taking an active part in pushing the ideology will feel the wrath of society for their actions, be they doctors, surgeons, nurses, teachers, workers from companies such as celebrate and educate or whatever they are called, etc., etc., etc. i don't care who they are, or what they do, there must be no hiding place for them!

" in Germany the pharmaceutical companies didn't even try to establish a market for the drugs because the culture was accepting of pain being a normal part of, for eg, post-op recovery, whereas in the US it was not. "
My understanding of the opioid addiction crisis was that it was due in the main to long term use for chronic pain and the dragon, ever being in need of being chased, rather than short term post-op care?
Following 2 surgeries in recent years, i can tell you, in all honesty, hand on heart, that i couldn't care less, or give a rats, what pain killers they packed me with to wake up with but i wouldn't entertain the thought of using opioids going forwards. I refused them outright - soluble paracetamol ftw! lol
The rest of your post i agree with.

" I think puberty is much more difficult now. "
Puberty, or parenting?
I am unaware that the physical aspects of puberty have changed???
" A decade ago I allowed DD to have Fb, or bebo, when leaving primary school though insisted everything went through my email until she was 13. Eventually we sat down and discussed the endless stream of posts from "cool girls" having fun hanging out in shopping malls etc.
Eventually? Why eventually? Why didn't you ( and by you, i mean parents as a peer group not you in particular, i'm not singling you out. ) do that to begin with, as a bare minimum.
Stable doors and bolted horses!
It seems to me, that too many parents abdicated their parenting responsibilities in favour of being besties and buying their childrens' love/friendship, in exchange for only giving 15 minutes ' quality time '.Have another participation medal Jemima!
The transing of kids, imo, is the middle class ( mostly ) equivalent of the sex grooming gangs in towns and cities up and down the country, where councils/police/social services, etc., all looked the other way. I'd be very interested to know, which towns and cities had grooming gangs and now have the same councils and councillors in particular, desperate to prostrate themselves at the altar of Stonewall by demanding boys/men have access to girls/womens toilets/changing facilities across schools and municipal facilities.
I'd be very interested in the facts about that and them, indeed!
