Cynthia Nixon - trans kids

However, I recall that in her book Time To Think, Hannah Barnes makes the point that children who went to the Tavistock with gender distress were 10 times more likely to have a parent who was a convicted sex offender.

thats terrible on multiple levels :(

3% of children aged 13 - 17 identify as transgender in New York State - twice the national average. That’s around 1 in 33. No wonder she knows so many.

I only have vague memories of the program Ab Fab, but one of the episodes I watched had..um.. the Jennifer Saunders one [sorry, I did say 'vague'] pestering her straight-laced daughter 'Are you sure you're not gay dahling? really? definitely not gay? not even a little bit lesbian?' because it would have been so cool for her to have a lesbian daughter.

Any resemblance between ..Edina I think it was ..and real-life Cynthia Nixon would be entirely coincidental!

It sounds like 100% fad/fashion/contagion/wanting to be in with the cool kids to me.

I'm just surprised that all these show-biz kids haven't rebelled into wearing sensible shoes and nice cardis and taking up accountancy, like... Saffi, that was the daughter's name, it's all flooding back!

Maybe celebrity parents pretend to be so proud of their trans kids in the hopes that they'll think 'Oh gross, mom thinks it's cool ..'😄

This reminds me of how convicted child rapist David Challenor had a biological son and a stepson who both identified as transwomen. Given that only 0.5% of the population (at most) are trans I remember thinking what a strange coincidence it was for this to happen.

However, I recall that in her book Time To Think, Hannah Barnes makes the point that children who went to the Tavistock with gender distress were 10 times more likely to have a parent who was a convicted sex offender.

I wonder if there are other things that young people who are confused about their gender have in common.

This is like the thing about multiple choice tests - to actually score 0 on a large number of questions could be interpreted as a pass.

If you understood nothing about the topic you'd expect to get some right randomly.

So the doctors who have been "guessing" people's gender are somehow failing to score 50%. Weird.

And the next problem is - if all female people in a group have "male" gender, and all male people in the group have "female" gender - how can you justify still assigning the names "male" and "female" to those genders? Can a gender be "female" if no actual females have it?

And what would happen if the doctors called the girls "male" and boys "female"?

Of course they are, every one of them 🙄

I wonder how desperae for attention they all are.

I wonder how neglected these kids are.
