There's been a lot of talk about the UK organization Mermaids. But the US equivalent is Gender Spectrum, which if anything has even more influence on policy in the US (including conferences, school policy, and more). Zero coverage of this org outside our website (so far).https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1096132516187000832 …

The "nonbinary" trope is becoming more and more common with gender docs and psychologists, as well as organizations like Gender Spectrum, which has plenty of material on its slick website and YouTube channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-22q5PwKTs&feature=youtu.be …

"A touch of testosterone" for a nonbinary identity. "The children are leading us....I'm a boy-girl, I'm everything," enthuses Diane Ehrensaft, Director of Mental Health at UCSF's youth gender clinic (and member of Gender Spectrum's board of directors). https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/when-kids-come-in-saying-they-are-transgender-or-no-gender-these-doctors-try-to-help/2018/01/19/f635e5fa-dac0-11e7-a841-2066faf731ef_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.b8b348e8c6b0 …pic.twitter.com/GX9WhfASNu

So when a preverbal child grunts is that a telltale sign they may be a pig?

I have no idea what a barrette is but, given that baby girls also wear onesies, why do they not also have the urge to turn them into dresses? Could it be that it is all bullshit?

It seems that some psychologists are projecting their personal fetishes and paraphilias onto children. Which speaks volumes about them. They are sick.

But why are people listening to them and acting as if what they say makes any sense? That is what I don't get. All kinds of nutters out there but these people have a powerful platform and lots of institutional support.
