Not sure if this has been posted before, but it's a good, if chilling read. I had wanted to be brave enough to share it on my FB, but I'm not.
I can identify with the parents in some of it, wanting to do the right thing, being surrounded by people who affirm you. But it also shows as clear as day that this is a cult. One of the Twitter comments says, imagine if Jim Jones had access to social media. Chilling.

yes OP it has been posted before but it is very interesting and worth a read for those who haven't seen it

Parents talking about their experiences trying to raise little boys according to the "everyone has a gender identity but I'm afraid I can't tell you what yours is" ideology

Sorry, I had a quick scroll and couldn't see it posted before, but the board moves fast.

I've just written a long post and deleted because I was rambling and struggling to articulate what I feel.
I've let the kids wear what they want, play with what they want and I'm against the whole pink/blue mentality. I don't understand how things have got as far as the parent in the article, yet at the same time I do understand 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for posting, an interesting and seemingly honest read.

Some of the comments though, homophones, transphobia and misogyny.

I wish mainstream UK media published more of this sort of story as balance for some of the propaganda they put out

Thanks for posting. I'd not seen it before. It is so scary that parents do this for all the right reasons and the best of intentions.

Even before finding out about all this I always at least thought it bizarre that as a parent you'd want to conduct a novel social experiment on your child.

This is the problem, isn't it? It's a balanced article that can be read in a number of ways. I think most people would find it very odd to think that a four-year-old could be transgender.

Start the new year by being brave. Post it on your FB and let people read it. You may well be pleasantly surprised. I know someone who had a GC letter published online and was braced for the pile-on. It never came. There were maybe a dozen responses, ten of them supporting her and two weird, rambling and off-putting replies from genderists that proved her point.

It's easy to say be brave. But too many reasons why I won't share. Family members are trans, I know a few evangelical people and it would cause problems for my teen at school and for my OH, as he has to be seen to be inclusive at work.
Some of my friends share my views, none would be completely open about it.
I do follow various Twitter accounts, even that makes me nervous.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting I wish I was brave enough to post it on FB too but recent events (a professional complaint against me) have made me very cautious about posting anything trans related.

I have just read that. Goodness what lessons are to be learnt there. It is so important not to confuse little children with ideas that sex is changeable. It is as wrong as getting them to believe a dog can be a cat.

Her idea that her little son’s initial saying he was a girl, after having been told he could choose, might simply have been him seeking attachment through being the same as his mummy sounds very likely, and similarly his younger brother then said he was a girl to match him.

Let’s hope all will work out for them now they have realised their mistake. As she said, her eldest son was a highly sensitive and possibly autistic boy but that did not mean he was trans.

In case anyone would like to sign, here is a petition against teaching ‘gender identity’ to children in their RSE lessons at school.

It ends tomorrow the 18th.
