Extreme trans ideology behaves like a cult. It is psuedo scientific and pseudo religious. If you do not adhere to the holy Tennants (sic) you are an apostate and 'anti-trans'. Except it's more holey than holy.
MN isn't anti-trans. It's pro-woman and pro-children. This is problematic for a male centred ideology which seeks to trample over the rights and protections of women and children.
Time and again we see Me-railing and attempts to tell us something is safe based on antidotes and outright lies. All to convince a parent to transition their child.
In this case we have some one advocating for childhood transition even though they transitioned as an adult. They try to make out the drugs are safe based on their singular experience. Yet this isn't scientific. It's utter bollocks. Especially given the other comments made by the same person about how they are now biologically female. There's the antidotes about menopause and being told to come off HRT because they've reached a certain age when women's hormones decline so they have experience of menopause. It's strange because this is the age women start hormone treatment. So why be told to come off the drugs? Again the question of safety arises.
No evidence of any quality is ever supplied. Just already discredited nonsense.
We have explored multiple times why control of children is so essential to adult transitioners. They are the scaffold to legitimacy and access to women. Note women not women's spaces. Neutral gender neutral facilities are not ok.
When defending womens spaces, it becomes apparent that if they can't be colonised by males then the default response is to destroy the space or service by any means possible. Because it's a men's rights movement.
Women are not allowed to speak for themselves or advocate for children - despite so many having direct experience with their children, partners and other family members. There's no mention of the patterns of abuse and coercion elsewhere yet we know it's happening because that's our lived experience. It's a dirty little secret no one wants to hear. We know children have high rates of detransition if left to just wait it out. We know that there's a whole scandal with the Tavistock and how kids were groomed online and parents were coached and blackmailed out of fear. These threats have all since been discredited yet still they persist. We know several studies have picked up the large numbers of gay and lesbian kids who have identified as trans and the comments by parents like Susie Green which are pretty much about erasure of gayness and transing away the gay. A man isn't gay if he transitions and then dates a man. Except of course he is. Because otherwise gay ceases to have any legal protection nor meaning as per the Supreme Court Ruling.
What stands out everytime with these male transitioners is how they are oblivious to the female experience of life and how they can barely get through a post without it being all about them. There's no reflection on how they don't represent a teen girl. Nor even a teen boy when they talk about blockers and how this might affect the success of transition.
Indeed there is zero discussion about the limitations of transition. Nor the side effects of transition. Nor the risks of transition. This is always verboten. This is concerning.
You should always consider the information that's clearly omitted as well as the information that is included.
Given as wives, mothers and others relations who live behind those closed doors and see up close the downsides and how it isn't a magic bullet to mental distress but we are expected to play along and pretend transition and especially early transition is a pathway to living happily ever after no matter what our experience and observations are it's quite something. We must be silent and complicit or we will be punished. We will be smeared, we will be abused, we will lose careers, we will be threatened with losing our loved ones. We are expected to stay by and watch others actively harmed knowing what we know, without allowing the opportunity to have a discussion.
Informed consent requires us to tell the truth.
But here's the thing. As mother's our job is to protect even if it's uncool and unfashionable. We don't let our kids just do anything they like because their friends are all doing it. We aren't right wing or conservative when we do this. We just can identify harms and risks. And sometimes it's our job to 'be the bad guy' because we know being cool mum can lead to far far worse in the long run.
The reality which has been born out by just about every piece of research on the subject is the kids who identify as trans have deeply complex histories and issues which don't just go away on transition. Indeed transition can block access to therapy and other forms of support for wider issues because it's viewed as 'anti-trans'... Because it asks deep questions about how someone feels deep down.
It never fails to amaze me how many of the plopping transitioners seek to paint a rosy picture of passing and having no medical issues. Only for them to drop a comment every so often which shows the facade of bullshit and how it's really not their lived reality. We see what happens out of sight of the PR.
The problem is that the process of admitting it's not an ideal solution and that you can't actually change sex so traumatic in its own right, the only thing they can do is to lash out at anyone identifying reality and speaking it.
It's a house of cards. It's so fragile. They know how fragile it is. They know it's got nothing of substance. We aren't the big bad wolf though. Unfortunately a gust of wind reveals this.
