First we had "I am Jazz" on a subscription cable channel that not everyone watched. Now Jazz is a legal adult, and a new star is born on Netflix, the huge digital channel where most of us in the US go for our films and TV binge watching. But unlike in the case of Jazz...https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1286390878546694149 …

...this child's mother gave interviews discussing how she did everything in her power (including repeated spankings) to dissuade her toddler from playing with toys the family deemed too feminine. Family members wondered if the 2-year-old child was gay. http://archive.is/zWlen pic.twitter.com/0mHUPiBGPG

We are supposed to believe that to be transgender is to be marginalized & under-resourced. Yet the most-watched digital outlet in the US has released a series featuring a young child who was thrust into the public eye by powerful media and legal institutions from a young age.

This child might have been allowed to pursue those forbidden "effeminate" interests, possible growing up to be a gay man. But now Kai is a rising child star, whose "identity" is concretized and monetized to the ultimate benefit of --who exactly?https://twitter.com/artymortyarty/status/1287543574284902400?s=20 …

This ACLU clip conveniently leaves out what happened before Kai proclaimed at 3.5 years old "I'm a girl, mommy. You know I'm a girl." The interviews mom gave to magazines (excerpted in above tweets) reveal a more complicated story.https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1169754583620575234?s=20 …

Developmental psychology has been thrown out the window. The responsibility for this falls to affirmative gender specialists, who seem to think it's no big deal to set a young child on a one-way road to drastic hormonal and surgical interventions.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/908756126107422720?s=20 …

Why does no one in authority talk about this? A child who perceives disapproval due to their toy, hair, or clothing preferences is going to draw childish conclusions. What's different now is therapists and doctors are also drawing childish conclusions.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/851454685877645317?s=20 …

These videos about the development of gender constancy make it very clear that young children (and Kai was very young when the mother declared to the world Kai was transgender) confuse gender norms for material reality.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1163509170383020038?s=20 …

4thWaveNow @4th_WaveNowDevelopmental psychologists have known for a long time that young children have very concrete, literal, & sometimes incorrect notions about sex & gender. Now gender therapists tell us even toddlers have an innate gender ID, and they are never wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c49nWlZMq3Q&feature=youtu.be&list=PLd6suGdLIPWWnUIXHJYllSnnpWB7oeONx …Show this thread1 reply 10 retweets 98 likesShow this thread
Watch this old interview with @profjmb about twin brothers, one of whom grew up to be gay. The twins are also interviewed). Imagine this occurring today: Greg would have been identified as "trans" due to his more "effeminate" interests as a child.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx7p4J8p9Os …
