1/ In 2015, the mother of a young adult w/Down Syndrome fundraised for "top surgery," even when her daughter was in ICU w/serious health issues. Those of us who uncovered/revealed it in 2015 assumed it would peak-trans many people. No one, outside a few blogs, said a word. https://twitter.com/EllieRestless/status/1080595124365680640 …

Couple of months later, we thought THIS would be the straw that broke the camel's back--a company selling fake penises for 4-yr-olds. Again, we made sure journos knew about it. Crickets. Such companies continue to sell this crap w/ zero media attention.https://4thwavenow.com/2015/09/26/san-francisco-company-selling-packers-for-trans-boys-ages-4-and-up/ …

When it comes to transition, nothing is ever too much. No bridge is too far. Above all, it speaks to the success of the Suicide or Transition doctrine spread by gender clinicians around the world--but particularly in the US, Ground Zero for "affirmative care."

It's easy to vilify parents who usher their kids down the transition road (sometimes from toddlerhood). But the real responsibility lies with the clinicians, who terrorize them with misused suicidality stats and then encourage them to believe their children's bodies are wrong.

To be fair, the clinicians shouldn't be vilified either. They sincerely believe they're doing the right thing. It's just that they have tunnel vision, & once they become celebrities, the tunnel narrows further--as happens with all messianic leaders of cult-like movements. Power.

Less sympathy is due the mainstream media, which continue to turn a blind eye to the problems w/runaway trans activism. They promote "suicide or transition" w/ every puff piece, refuse to cover the other side--though some journos try, only to see their stories spiked.

Hard not to be cynical when people who have a responsibility to investigate (powerful media like
@nytimes and@washingtonpost ) turn a blind eye to even the most extreme examples of trans-activist overreach. Instead they do puff pieces on Ehrensaft, the Olson-Kennedys, et al. - Show replies
