This person appears to think families claiming 2-5 trans kids is simply a function of trans people feeling more confident. Thoughts? https://twitter.com/eatenbyawhale/status/1203676091581435904 …

Not entirely sure that was the point I made, but please, interpret how you see fit.

The tweet you quoted was referring to hundreds of parents claiming multiple trans kids in their families.

Hundreds of families from hundreds of millions is not a terribly huge or scary figure. That aside, I would suggest speaking to charities and organisations supporting families with trans or gender questioning children before damning their entire existence.

Drawing public attention to an unusual phenomenon (which the sudden uptick in families claiming to have multiple trans kids certainly is) is not damning anyone's existence.

Some of the comments developing around these ideas are disgusting and accomplish very little except displaying a dangerous level of hate towards trans people and the people who support us. it’s clear what much of the audience of these tweets thinks.

Once upon a time (not long ago, actually) being "trans" was an adults-only proposition. Bringing children & teens into trans activism has raised public concern. In contrast, the gay rights movement did not bring kids into campaigns. Perhaps think about that difference.

Vast majority of ppl worried about the increase in "trans kids" are live-and-let-live moderates & liberals, not "anti-trans." But activists chose to feature (often proto-gay) kids in their campaigns, vs. building their own movement to secure employment and housing rights.

Activists also could have built a movement for recognition as a unique group: trans sports leagues, prison wards and refuges, one-user private change rooms/lockerrooms, etc. Instead, the demand for access to any/all women's spaces has met with a backlash that will not end.

How can we possibly demand something which has been always been available to us? In the UK at least.
