Compassion fatigue - Encouraging females to self care

[JamieAndTheSugar]

Females are socialised into being carers.

Now our children are expected to become carers to confused people and are being gaslighted about biological

Is it worth considering some kind of self care campaign for women and children?

Setting emotional boundaries helps maintain a connection while still remembering and honoring the fact that you are a separate person with your own needs.

Our children should be able to live in reality and attend to their own needs.

Girl Guides, LGBT groups, government, the media and schools are not allowing the general population to self care and are damaging the mental health of the many for the benefit of the few - by pushing this attitude on the nation.

Totally agree OP and yes to promoting the importance of self care and setting boundaries.
Hope this isn't too 'unrelated' but I read this today in the Times about the problem of parents stopping parenting and allowing children to be effectively 'brought up' by their peers.

The trans issue has always struck me as one where often narcissistic young (generally male) people have stepped in and in an exhibition of 'teenage rage' are demanding that everyone else changes and obeys their demands. Social media is giving them the platform and to date, all our institutions are cowering in the corner while harm is being done to children.

I know a young man who is transitioning

His relationship with his father has never been good and he has had personal issues such as mental health and being bullied

A troubled young man, and i do wonder if making everyone around him refer to him with his new name and as she and her is giving him a little 'power' when he must feel very powerless at times

And no...i dont think everyone who transitions is like this at all, i just think it might be a factor in this particular case

There seems to be a similar pattern doesn't there? Schools unwittingly buy into it by using the Mermaids model of assemblies to 'celebrate' a trans child etc. Funny how all our knowledge about child development / behaviour is ignored in relation to this issue.

It does sceptical

The rates of children and young adults transitioning has increased dramatically

There will be many motives for this from sex dysmorphia to fear of change and that should be discussed
