The cruel threat of children's suicide is used here by a grown male to justify his demand to compete in women's sports. This cynical use of children to promote an adult agenda is the lowest tactic imaginable.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/may/17/idahobit-time-to-reflect-on-impact-negative-reporting-has-on-trans-kids …

Last week, a slick video was released, promoting, Mermaids, which shamelessly misused suicide stats to terrorize the public. Yet there is no longitudinal evidence showing that medical transition in childhood cures self harming behavior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gdUkRsLqwA&feature=youtu.be …pic.twitter.com/4Gmkyuth6X

The same video features a 14-year-old female who believes she is male. Imagine how difficult & embarrassing it would be if that young teen--or any of the other minors used in propaganda and media--had a change of heart & decided not to transition.

In fact, the Dutch pioneers of pediatric transition warned that some desisters had a rough time; and these weren't celebrity trans kids, but protected research subjects, not adolescents being used as mascots for a cause.pic.twitter.com/qofv6Y7Afh

Steensma cites the case of one girl who took two years to 'transition back.' It is embarassing and humiliating to admit you were 'wrong' in such a public way. Kids must be worried about making fools of the people who 'affirmed' them, including parents, teachers & peers.

Yes--then add all that to the stress of being a child-celebrity used to promote a cause. The amount of mental distress involved in attempting to detransition, for these minors paraded in front of a prurient public, is hard to fathom.
