Well here’s the thing. Although trans has been lumped in with gay people, they are completely different. In actual fact the ‘trans’ movement is actually very homophobic. Lesbians are told they have to accept men as sexual partners if that man puts on a dress. Or told they’re ‘genital fetishists’ if they say no (all while being told this never happens). Young gender non conforming kids who’d have a higher likelihood of being gay when they grown up are pushed to transition because they’re not a boyish boy or a girly girl. So no, I’m not anti lgb. In fact, I would say it is the height of homophobia to compare a man who thinks he’s a woman to a person who seeks a relationship with someone of the same sex.

I’m going to be honest I don’t understand the last line of your post so I can’t particularly respond fully.
Do we know if this is not just the vocal minority, though, holding these extreme views? I see it often with very right-wing Christian people saying Muslims are terrorists online, for example (often in an anti-refugee context). I know that they are just a very extreme minority and 99.999% of Christians don't actually feel that way. I'm not a deep researcher on the topic, but at least in mainstream media I've never heard of this 'genital fetishist' idea. I'm certainly not denying there are probably some crackpots out there believing it, I just wonder exactly how prevalent it is. I suppose this is why I'm struggling to find my own position on the whole matter really.

The last line of my post was about the argument made on here comparing accepting your child is trans to accepting they can get rid of chronic illnesses. I felt like it's comparing apples to oranges and I don't really understand how we can apply one principle across the both.

Support is not the same as affirmation! If your child was suffering from anorexia wouldn’t give them diet pills now would you?
Quite agree. Support to me-is asking non judgemental thoughtful questions, not projecting what I think is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ and trying to answer questions in a way that does not show bias or personal beliefs in one way or another.
Well that’s body dysmorphia, not gender dysphoria so an entirely different thing which cannot be compared. The answer is obviously no. That would be idiotic.
But for the record I also never said if my child presented with gender dysmorphia I immediately decide they needed puberty blockers either so not sure what point you are trying to make here?

These were the comments made by Eddies’ school peers. The conversation started as they weren’t happy with how the media stated how Eddie was intelligent and doing well in school when he was in fact in bottom sets for most subjects
What platform is that on

In relation to Brianna’s transition, I think the problem is the stonewall/mermaids narrative is louder than the transgender trend one. The “your kid will kill themselves if you don’t support them” trope in particular. I know lots of people who I am sure if they actually stepped back and thought about it would see the danger in kids transitioning but they have just swallowed the stonewall and mermaid propaganda as it’s more prevalent
Wouldn’t you rather not take the risk of your kid harming themself…. ?

Call me mental but wouldn’t you rather support them ( by support I don’t mean tell them what they feel right now they will feel forever and therefore must immediately begin to transition ) they might feel differently next week, next year or never, but at least they have always felt like their parent supports them?

Don’t take perfume mine was taken off me and given back afterwards. Your bag is searched like the airport etc get there early for that I guess it will be busy. The guys are all friendly on security just walk into the building after security and look on the screens. They won’t be named it will be stars like this ***
Thanks did you have to dress a certain way?

Yep 100%. I can imagine it'll be what's called a "managed move" as they described it as a placement.

A managed move it basically a step before expulsion and it's a tick in a box on that route. Often, they do work and they can be fantastic. A boy I know was moved in y4 and he genuinely just needed a fresh start and a different smaller environment. He went on to thrive. But to be permanently excluded or access specialist behavioural units you usually have to prove you have done x,y and z and that's what will have been happening.

We had a child at our school on a managed move. Both the school sending her and us knew it would fail but the other school had to say they had tried in order for the poor girl to access the specialist provision she desperately needed and deserved.
She called it a "Managed Transfer".

the article I read, he (the dad) is named so I don’t see the problem?? It’s Kyle Ratcliffe.

The one on Instagram? That’s not Boy Y, it’s his brother. I found his Mum’s page which was open last time I checked and she has loads of photos of Boy Y. She has another son and a daughter. I feel so bad for her, I can’t imagine what she is going through.
He has a Facebook profile and the boy is in the photo with him and a girl. It was uploaded this year.
