I don't agree with his approach. A feel a lot of what Max says and does is meant to stir up emotion and get a reaction. Using the word monstrous could very easily have a negative connotation towards the kids who identify as trans, feeding the negative stigma. It's not helpful
Given how far pediatric transition has gone in North America--and importantly **how many parents go along with it** and are even public activists [e.g. Amanda Jette Knox]--it's worth strategizing how to actually win hearts and minds. Hyperbolic language may have opposite effect.
What do you mean by hyperbolic language? Please explain
I'm sorry but are you really advocating that we are somehow to blame, for failing to be polite enough while children are being harmed by medical treatments that can leave them permanently sterilized? This reminds me of church leaders who tell women in DV to be nice.
I can see that. Can these parents be persuaded by easier dialogue though? Polite language seems to me to simply serve to veil the truth, which the majority of people are simply unaware of.
It's not the parents that need convincing. It's the rest of the world that doesn't know the horrors.
But activist parents are also driving it. Because of leaked information, we've seen the most extreme of these parents. Their fervor is unmatched. The mainstream media amplifies their voices. And their KIDS lobby with them.https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/it-s-just-how-you-really-are-inside-9-year-n1136101 …
Yes they do. And parents who stand up against it are routinely vilified. They need support from ordinary people of compassion.
