Shit. What is happening to poor young people? Sad

NonHypotheticalLurkingParent · 27/09/2018 12:14

It worked out to be about 25% translesbians, a significant proportion of the group - 25% transboys 35% gay, 10% lesbian, 5% not sure. We live in a rural market town and this was 4 years ago just when the ideology really started to take hold.

I'm in no doubt that DD identified out of sexual pressure. As a transboy who dated girls or other transboys, she identified out of sexual pressure from boys and also the stigma of being a lesbian, which brings it's own added sexual pressure from boys wanting to watch girls get it on.

Teenagers do stupid things without thinking, they're learning, but that's why we have safeguarding - to provide parameters to keep them safe while they learn about life.

The GG are really not taking this seriously.

"What got her to start to question the dogma were the transgirl lesbians, aged 12-21, in her LGTB+ youth group. The amount of pressure they put on the young lesbians in the group to have sex with them was unreal."

Yeah deffo don't sound like blokes at all.

Girls age 12 - 16 are very in demand age for grooming.

Men will access whatever way they can.

This way they have a massive lever in the form of "if you wont have sex with me you're as bad as a nazi, and probabyl I'll commit suicide".

NothingOnTellyAgain · 27/09/2018 12:56

This is essentially what whining boys trying to get in your knickers have said but now it is supported by people who girls trust and respect. If the govt and the LGB people and GG say this is right - TWAW and can be lesbians and lesbian girls have transphobic ideas that they need to deal with if they dont' fancy having sex with them.

Age 12 up FFS.

Was SG never a teen girl herself? Did she not ever encounter a teen boy?

We make all sorts of decisions on behalf of teenagers, to keep them safe and make sure that they don't do permanent stuff they regret. This includes getting a tattoo or bodily piercing, joining the army, getting married... There's a more blurred line around medical issues, but even in something like a custody battle the judge won't always agree with a child who wants to live with their mother (or father) that that is the right place for them if there is evidence that it would be harmful.

So what's the difference here?

SG's child got horrifically bullied by homophobes, which she dealt with with the hormones in Boston & surgery in Thailand. It's perhaps understandable that she centres her particular situation & decisions rather than the experience of half of humanity.

Shelter have changed gender to sex on that page. Haven't checked the rest of the website. Good for them!
