      1/ Pediatric packers: Our source in the affirming-parents FB group sent us many new threads-- over 50 in 2019 alone. Mothers discuss vendors (TranzWear continues its booming business) & do-it-yourself devices. Rubber penises as Xmas stocking stuffers are clearly a trend.

      2/ Nine year old who still believes in Santa is hoping for a packer, but what if it's late arriving? "Write a letter from Santa" to explain such a special gift required the elves to work overtime.pic.twitter.com/wzdXrz5jdn

      4/ Most parents recommend TranzWear, the San Francisco company that sells rubber/silicone phallus products for both adults & children as young as 4 years. This thread from last year contains more information about the company, and those who patronize it.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1104778089974980609 …

      1. THREAD. In response to our tweets about pediatric packers, a source sent us a collection of screen grabs from a Facebook group for "affirming" parents. The group has 1000s of members, including not just parents, but some therapists & trans activists. https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1104427039082405888 …

      7/ Having a "bulge" is evidently more important than being able to stand to pee in many cases. But how many 12-yr-old "cis" boys have a discernible bulge--or more importantly, WANT one? For that matter, how many males of ANY age want a bulge visible to the world at large?pic.twitter.com/PSooQOQNos

      8/ A mom considering a packer purchase says even her husband has no bulge--and also, she feels weird discussing genitalia at all. The other moms (some with 7-9 yr old AFABS) gather round to reassure: These aren't dildoes--they're prosthetics, like "glasses or hearing aids."pic.twitter.com/weaF87b3kh

      9/ More chime in: 14-yr-olds have noticeable bulges, and mom--don't deny your kid a "medical device". Stop "fetishizing" a prosthetic. After all, even 4-year-old trans boys wear them nowadays.pic.twitter.com/F16WoGpgys

      10/ Mom bought her kid a packer at age 5 "so he'd know what a little boy's penis looked like." But the kid is now 8, and the device has remained unused for 3 years. (Might that mean something?)pic.twitter.com/sdos4B6h8v

          11/ Might it also mean something that a 14-yr-old's dysphoria increased with use of a packer? None of these moms (and yes, they appear to all be moms) has a response.pic.twitter.com/dEsiA0cBpk

          14/ Let's not forget that some AFABs aren't male,; they're nonbinary. Doesn't mean they don't need a packer! One mom still has qualms, met with more reassurance from the co-ruminating crew. After all, "cis" boys had a penis at birth, so it's never too soon for your trans boy.pic.twitter.com/6G6zwalufD

          16/ A fake penis in your child's underwear is not sexual. More like a "padded bra after a mastectomy" or a "wooden leg." And even though your trans son used to think penises were ugly, or used to be a lesbian--none of that should keep you from "shopping for a dick."pic.twitter.com/LUJv6BfIrH

          18/ It's clear from the 50+ threads we received--from 2019 alone--that fake penises for "AFAB" kids is a growing trend with affirming parents. Many businesses have sprung up to meet the demand. Will the pediatric-packer generation grow up to be happy trans men? Time will tell.pic.twitter.com/bkp0xOfopt

          19/ Time will also tell whether adults who wore fake penises in their underwear as children will be more (or less) prone to pursue phalloplasty later. (Who will do that research study?) Either way-let's hope the complication rates for that surgery improve.https://4thwavenow.com/2019/12/30/celeb-trans-kids-will-the-gender-fairy-bring-dreams-or-genital-surgery-nightmares/ …

          20/ We have been asked which group this is. Here is a partial view of what you see when you search (publicly) for groups that serve parents of trans kids. This one has over 8K members, and one of the admins is rather famous. Public link here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ParentsofTransgenderChildren/ …pic.twitter.com/q8i7YeTgTP
