I had the most fascinating conversation with ds yesterday evening, completely out of nowhere. I can't even remember how it started; he was helping me cook dinner and then suddenly we were talking about 'gender non-binary people'.
I asked him if anyone at his school identified as 'non-binary' and he said no, but then started telling me about he'd watched a documentary about a 7-year-old boy who'd liked playing with dolls and so his parents started to give him puberty blockers etc and decided he was trans, etc etc...and ds was just horrified by the whole thing. Couldn't understand why this child just couldn't play with dolls without having to be labelled as trans, etc etc. Thought it was appalling that someone so young should be taking puberty blockers. Told me about someone he'd read about who had taken them and then changed their mind 'because kids do change their mind, don't they?'
He then went on to say how men can't just become women, even if they look like women, and how he'd noticed that it was mostly men saying they were women, not the other way around.
I then cautiously, and hopefully not leading him, asked him what he thought about men who identified as women having access to women's toilets or women's prisons etc. He was adamant that they shouldn't, and in fact he thought it was an odd question - obviously they shouldn't 'because it could be distressing for the real women in there'.
I did then tell him about Danielle Moscato 
and he was absolutely baffled and incredulous.
The thing that struck me was that, to him it was just 'common sense'. People should be free to wear whatever they want, call themselves whatever they want and live their lives however they want, but the idea that a man can become a woman just because he says so is madness and 'against science'. He even said he didn't understand why T was lumped in with LGBTI 'because it's not the same thing, mum, is it?'
Interestingly he did say that he knew his views were 'a bit out there' and he didn't feel he could say those sorts of things to his peers. I think he was actually quite surprised that I agreed with him. But it's obviously been playing on his mind, and I am really proud of him for being so logical and clear-thinking.
Believe it or not we have never ever talked about this stuff at home - it all just came totally out of the blue. Anyway, just thought I would mention that not all teens have been taken in by the trans cult and there may still be hope yet!
