Butterfly Episode 2

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

I'm going in - wish me luck.

Calming mug of golden milk at the ready...

How old is Max at this point?

Mum procrastinated as not ready to say bye to little boy.

Dad not "getting it"

(This is all with therapist btw)

Dad hopes it is all a phase.

Thinks Max has a sickness that needs treatinf

Max is 12 I think

Dad is against blockers
Mum want them to pause, so he doesn't cut herself,.so he doesn't grow hair all over his body

Dad says follow doctor's advice.

Mum tells hom he doesn't care

Dad goes to GF

Mother is utterly batshit.

Grab the ikea catalogue and toss it, lol

It just beggars belief.

Will there be a Harry Potter ending? Fast forward 20 years and see how Max is doing?

There's no discussion with Max on whether Max just hates his body because he's finding the prospect of puberty difficult. Or did I miss that part. OH put down Ikea mag and is now snoring quietly.

Is it too late for me to take blockers and stop any more hair growing all over my body?

Separately.. today I found out that the hormones can not only make trans people infertile but also increases risk of breast cancer and osteoporosis. Sounds fab (!)

Did you see Lynne from Alan Partridge playing the Susie Green character? Beaming over pics of her "daughter" in a bikini and "daughter's new boyfriend.

There needs to be greater acceptance of gay people.

Max watching trans YouTubers

20 years on..? Max is in jail for assault..? it's all his dad's fault for hitting him though. Women's jail of course. ;)

Max asks "where dad"

Mum dad face.

Dad's can't stay at GF, gf getting rightly barked at being used for sex

Narked at - not barked!

Sister talking to boys about gender and sexuality.

Mother begging for blockers

Worst. chat. up. line. ever. But girl (sister) smiles.. so men and boys continue thinking we're easy.

Voices of reason saying watch and wait - I predict a cliff hanger at the end of this episode ..

Therapist wants Max to consider all aspects of gender.

And to have family therapy.

Also, no medical intervention as dad doesn't agree.

gP(?) Wants watchful waiting.

Max "what did Indo wrong"

Mum " she can't wait! You can't deny he treatment" "she will try to commit suicide"

Mum to dad "this is all.your fault" (this is all in from of max)

Dad "listen to the experts"
Mum " I. Am the expert!"

Mother desperate to start chemical castration on her severely disturbed son.

Didn't see Alan Partridge.

Mum giving up on business. Max.more important.

Mermaids: don't buy puberty blockers online! Can't suggest outside.nhs, but other options. Take Max to Boston like I did

Mermaids: you need the money for this now!

Gets money from mum for business
