Trans Teen Survival Guide by Fox and Owl

[womensvoicesmatter]

I was curious what's being peddled to teens, so I got the book. I'm only a few pages in and pretty horrified, so I thought I'd share it with you lot.

(This might take some time though, I don't have a lot of free time right now!)

Even the inscription is enraging. The book is dedicated to their trans friend who committed suicide. It's not a subtle few words, it's a whol page including a cartoon of this person with a halo. And it says the book is based on the blog they wrote on tumblr.

While of course I'm sad for Fox and Owl that their friend died, and I recognise that to lose someone to suicide is a terrible trauma I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, I also think it's deeply irresponsible to start a book aimed at teenagers, lauding someone who killed themselves - especially given the popular myths and misuse of suicide stats about trans kids.

It makes me suspicious of the book before we've even started. What kind of propaganda lies within?

Here’s some more propaganda for you! I think you are wrong if like cats and dogs whilst chewing on a beef roast or feeding your kids sausages whilst watching peppa pig!

Oh the horrors. I could almost get over being called names for having a differing opinion, but being wrong..never!

Eh? What? I dont understand. Are you saying that people eat the animals they dislike? There isn’t much meat on a cat, and they’re carnivores so they dont taste as good. If gerbils were the size of fresians we’d be farming and eating them.

Peppa Pig actually eats sausages.

[Bowlofbabelfish]

Also the increased parasite load historically from eating carnivores plus these days the PCBs and organic chemical buildups as you go up the food chain. ...

Peppa Pig actually eats sausages.

She does! They have several BBQs. Don’t watch the zoo episode... that’ll blow your mind. Why are zebras going to a zoo to see penguins? It’s all wrong I tell ya.

Also the episode with the cat family in the aquarium and the subtle digs at Pedro the pony being nervous when he breaks a leg.

Peppa is a cannibal? I thought this was just in those weird youtube versions of her!

[Katvonfelttipeyebrows]

Is Peppa actually a pig in human form? I think that might be the general gist of it. There are some interesting meta physical questions to be tackled.
