Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

It doesn't read to me as Sasha attended Gids, but another part of the Tavistock. It is also not all of Tavistock that has been shut down, only Gids.

I don’t think this article was terribly well researched.

Whatever your views on gender (and mine are traditional) I think it's a disgrace to go after Mark Carney by interrogating the mental health of his child. Leave his family alone: assess him on the basis of his policies as PM. His child is none of anyone's business.

I read her article - thanks, OP. As usual when reading these earnest self-justifications, I ended up thinking "this is crazy". They're rebelling against something they could just ignore.

Enid Blyton's character George doesn't have to be trans, nonbinary or what Sasha calls a boygirl. She's just herself: a female child preferring those activities which, in the 1940s, were stereotypically ascribed to male children. She just got on with it. She had friends, school, a nice family - she wasn't hated, excluded or any of the other awful abuses trans activists claim will happen to kids who don't conform to gender stereotypes.

We all knew some kids who didn't; many of us were those kids. The Famous Five books were written over EIGHTY years ago! There've now been four whole generations of women and men bucking 'gender' and just fucking getting on with their lives. The stereotypes themselves have weakened significantly: in Blyton's time and my own, girls and women were constrained by law.

Young people like Sasha have none of that to contend with yet, mystifyingly, go out of their way to re-solidify gender constraints while protesting their need to escape them.

Pfft!

Was reading about this earlier.

But of course, it's not a movement by and for the privileged...

And yet they all have them, in Hollywood and in politics, the latest fashion accessory: a gender-addled wean.

Jesus Christ do you hear yourself?
