Butterfly part 3

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

American doc emphasises he is not a pediatric endocrinologist - he helps children give birth to themselves.

Max : pink hoody / hairclips

Dad "I don't want to lose you - I don't care who you are " Max hugs him

Bloody hell. Only daughters get hugs?!

Family hugs (except Lily of course)

Guardian reccomemds care order. Reccomemds that Max has no more treatment. Possibility of Maxine being removed.

Social worker threatening to remove Maxine

If NHS agree, social services wouldn't stand in want of treatment

Hold on, so they are concerned enough to consider an ICO, due to the parental behaviour, but if Ferrybank agree treatment, all that disappears? Really?

NHS : can't be in place of crisis to make decisions.

Parents worried about losing Maxine to local authority.

Maxine has felt suicidal for last few years. Could have been more true to himself if not pleasing others.

Max wants to feel peace from puberty blockers. Mum and dad aren't at war anymore, but my body and brain still are

Max is getting his puberty blockers

Mum and dad no longer at war but Maxines body and brain still are. Jubilation in car (presumably blockers agreed)

Max gives articulate speech about how 'my parents aren't at war any more, but my body and brain still are'.

Max worried about not being a girl undressed. Mum says it will come and that he is beautiful.

Max literally pouting in mirror.

Max gets puberty blocker jags.

Crescendo of music and end

Thank fuck

I'm not watching so correct me if I'm wrong but from the description, social services were very much painted as the bad guys?

Jeez, that was apalling.

So has been left open for more episodes.

I'm furious that itv is pushing the medicating of healthy children as a good thing!
How do I complain?!

I only watched because I read about it on here and I'm glad I did. Absolutely disgusting and could harm vulnerable people watching.

NoseRinggirl That seemed to be the intention, but it failed badly as everything they said was reasonable and caring whereas the majority of what the family did was reckless.

So has been left open for more episodes

Definitely. But it's so shit and the viewing figures are so poor that I doubt therell be anymore.

You should have watched The Little Drummer Girl instead.

This may be a bizarre comparison bit it reminds me a bit of the Alfie Evans case. All these cheerleaders saying the hospital was wrong and the parents new best. It's the same lack of critical thought, the same mindless crowds cheering on and chanting slogans, seeing everything in black and white, if you don't agree you're the enemies.

Feels a bit like the beginning of the collapse of civilisation
