It really stuck in my mind at the time because a lot of the comments online and "blind" items on gossip sites implied that Jolie was transing her daughter as she didn't want to compete with this beautiful, younger girl. Imagine being a mother in the public eye and people saying that about you when you are trying to protect your child in the best way you can. I have so much respect that she just let her daughter be, gave her time and space to grow and navigate who she wanted to be, so many of the famous parents jump straight into "My trans child, look how liberal I am" mode.


I was speaking to a friend about this stuff last week and he had come to the conclusion that so many middle class parents just love this idea of a trans child, as having a gay child is so passe nowadays, they are just not aspirational anymore. To show your liberal/lefty credentials you have to up your game. He is a teacher and he sees none of this in his working class school, but the middle class school up the road most classes have at least one trans/non-binary kid and the staff are tying themselves in knots trying to remember pronouns and correct terminology.
That's so messed up. I can understand why a virtue signalling parent would be thrilled if their child were gay (there's nothing wrong with being gay obviously but I know someone who uses her gay son to make herself seem special - even he cringes!) but who would want their child to be trans even if they were totally on board with the ideology themselves. Your child is telling you they feel trapped in the wrong body and it's means that they have a lifetime of medication and some very serious surgeries ahead of them. It's a serious medical condition and doctors are still in the experimental stage with treatments. It's not really a cause for celebration.

Has anyone seen this going around on Twitter?

It’s been getting quite a lot of attention
I've seen video of him performing as part of a group on Twitter and he's not just part of it like the rest - the whole thing is centred around him. All the real dancers are dancing around him and at the end they pick up flowers and hand them to him and he gets to do his bow by himself after the rest bow together. Not only has he taken a place from a woman, he's taken the starring role from another woman and they're all having to pretend like he's a brilliant dancer. The only reason he's there is because he's trans. Ballet is so hard on women and he gets a free pass. The other dancers must be sick 🤢.

It does make me wonder about the pharma companies promoting gender change drugs and surgery!! I wonder if enormous profits ever get in the way of following any kind of moral code?
Jennifer Bilek has written several articles about the big business/pharma and trans ideology

This just took me down the youtube of Sergei Polunin. Wow! how graceful and elegant.

Most people would know that they weren't as good as the others and they'd be embarrassed at getting a place out of pity or to tick a box.
It's strange these people don't give a tit how bad they are. Look at the recent 'ice skater'. Any normal person would be embarrassed as you say. Not these.

Ballet is HARD. And I applaud him for trying because that would not be easy. But there is no way he deserves a place more than that girl. You can see in her legs and feet that she is superior. It is a disgrace that he would be offered a position over her. Would he ever be cast as Giselle or Odette with those skills? How could be perform any lifts? If he loves ballet so much, and there’s NOTHING wrong with that, why doesn’t he go for a male position? Those guys are incredible athletes. But of course, based on that performance, he could never compete with a male ballet dancer. So he just waltzes in (badly) and steals a place from a female 😡

“When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called “fetal-maternal microchimerism”.⁠
For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades. Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too.
Even if a pregnancy doesn't go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream.
Research has shown that if a mother's heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart.
The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby.
How cool is that?
This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant.
It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects & rebuilds the mother back - so that the baby can develop safely and survive.
Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave?
Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mothers brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?”
If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there….Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them.
I find this to be so very beautiful.

There are male dancers who dance on point - there are male ballet dancers full stop, they can do all the dancing that the women can do. Male dancers perform specific female roles, there is a famous clog dance in La fille mal grandee. A trans ballerina is completely pointless in the dance world.

An acquaintance of mine has a teenager daughter who pre covid socially transitioned and became male. The parents were clear they were supportive and tried to be as understanding as possible but were not willing to take their child to see any specialists to undergo any kind of treatment. When the child was 18 it would be their decision if they wanted hormonal treatment. I had a look on their Facebook the other day just out of interest and she is back identifying as female!

I can only imagine how many young people have parents who want to be seen as progressive and would have taken their child for treatment asap and then ended up with a teenager who changes their mind but is left with side effects.
I’m someone who had a really difficult childhood, my teenage years were hell (and sadly so have been my adult years) and I believe I would have thought about changing my gender just to escape my situation and mind. It would have been like a plaster, a temporary solution to cover the feelings of disgust and hurt but it’s not something that would have helped at all.

Didn't Brad and Angelina's daughter go through something similar?! She had her hair cut short and went by John I believe but is now back to being a beautiful woman.
I believe she’s cut her hair very short again - read some comments on social media along the lines of ‘Brand and Angelina are abusive because they tried to make Shiloh a girl’. Maybe she just enjoys cropped hair?

I was scrolling through Instagram and came across a video of Myleene Klass on a podcast and she said this to a lady who was hosting. The lady I believe had a miscarriage and lost her baby and I brought her such comfort. Of course as with social media, people in the comments section were getting at Myleene for not explaining it perfectly but she definitely got the sentiment.
