Needmoresleep, the whole point of children's rights was a recognition that children are ALWAYS without exception, the most vulnerable in society and don't hold their own power.
This ALWAYS leaves them vulnerable to various forms of exploitation. These can be physical, emotional or political.
It is their characteristic as children which is the most important. Hence why their are specialist laws for children in the first place.
In every response to the hint of a problem, these organisations have all mentioned something else BEFORE the centring of children's rights in their responses.
The whole trans narrative is based on the premise that the most vulnerable in society is trans people. Kids are less important that trans people. Transkids are the sacred ones who must be placed on a pedestal - but they are being treated as trans before kids. Their rights and vulnerability as children comes second to trans. They are used to progress the rights of adults as a result.
I noticed a comment on the thread about going public a number of comments about how they and their children think trans are the most vulnerable. It struck me that there isn't thought given to kids who have a history of abuse. Or kids who have different cultural backgrounds which might mean they are more isolated and have less power.
The degree to which these issues and concerns are invisible to adults and children is frightening.
I always say, that you should look at an issue and look at what's there but also question what is missing as it's often more important than what you know.
As this goes forward more and more I think it's a good philosophy in life to help you combat and be aware of political blindspots, and is a crucial cornerstone of critical thinking. I never realised quite how valuable it is.
