Fox I am willing to be corrected if wrong about anything.
I feel there are real dangers with pushing kids down a certain route or encouraging them, when this may not be right for them. If children really are trans then they will remain so. You can support children without agreeing with everything they say.
Some treatments are available to children under 18 that are not legal in other places and so for some kids 'coming out as trans' might actually push them in the line of interventions that are not right for them.
And just be voicing concerns about a female puberty does not necessarily mean a person is trans.
Urging caution is not wrong. For some children this will mean they have time to wait and think, but others might be rushed down to a place where they feel there is no turning back.
In such places it is possible for children to go ahead with areas of transitioning without being fully sure of what is really right for them.
In other words, rushing ahead, to do so and actively to encourage young teens and children, who often present as confused (not fixed about their own ideas of their gender) seems very dangerous to me.
I speak as someone who knows girls who are questioning their gender (and their sexuality, and yes, I know they are different). They are not all certain and sure, persistent and consistent and whatever else is required of them.
Lily Maynard's daughter did not persist in her ideas of being trans, so if her mum had actively encouraged her to make any kind of transition, wear a binder that could have endangered her health etc, then that could have been harmful to her daughter.
Please do no assume those of us who are gender critical are unfeeling, quite the opposite.
Childhood should be a time for all children to be free to wear what they like, have fun, and just be themselves. Puberty is starting earlier and earlier for kids for all kinds of reasons. Childhood should not be the time for making life long decisions.
If people are worried about their children who present themselves as trans or questioning, then love, acceptance, care, concern etc are vital, but rushing ahead to celebrate something that may actually not be true at all, is wrong.
I think the information from Transgender Trend will help some parents. The attempt to stop fundraising for it was potentially cutting out choices for some parents, and most significantly for some children. I am pleased the crowd funder is back on.
