Le Canard Noir @lecanardnoirThis is painful, where a US interviewer talking to Robert Webb brings up that his child in kindergarten came out as ‘transgender’ and asks him about Mermaids in the UK. Kindergarten. Came out. In Kindergarten. 42:00 into interview. https://maximumfun.org/episodes/bullseye-with-jesse-thorn/david-mitchell-and-robert-webb/ …Show this thread3 replies 2 retweets 50 likesShow this thread -

Arthur, some questions… Do you think a 3 year old has the intellectual grasp of what it means to have a sex? Do you think children of 3 are able to form independent objective views as to their self without an adult forming those concepts for them?

Or maybe a jeopardy answer for you… “A psychiatric condition in which a caregiver or parent makes up or causes an illness or injury in a person under his or her care, such as a child, in order to seek attention"

It's amazing how hardened the narrative is, isn't it? Most of the time, when the parent is shocked and aghast at the kid being trans despite everything they did to stop it, this is taken *as evidence transness is fake* ("Who *really* knows a kid better than her mum?", etc)

Arthur - are these questions you cannot answer? Do you think a 3 year old has the intellectual grasp of what it means to have a sex? Do you think children of 3 are able to form independent objective views as to their self without an adult forming those concepts for them?

I think that when a child is consistent about their self-identification for six years from when they are three to when they are nine that this should obviously be respected

Nah, which is why it's so troubling so many kids are brainwashed by parents into thinking they have no other option but to be cis

I'm gonna disagree here and say that 3 year olds are absolutely able to feel discomfort without an adult telling them they should, and that would logically extend to dysphoria.

The point is this is a strawman, saying that transness depends on being able to defend some philosophical concept of "gender identity", which has always been way, way more important to anti-trans critics than actual trans people
