There's an article in the mail today being discussed on mumsnet.
4 yr old female twin wants to be like her brother and couldn't understand why she was being forced to wear pink and pigtails. Now the parents say the child is trans and have got her on the tavistock list.
All the photos show they gendered their kids from the offset.
The child has said things like 'I'm a boy' but of course she is because she wants to play with trucks and have short hair in an environment where clearly the parents have set expectations for how girls behave and how boys behave.

Context: Several years ago Tumblr issued a ban on porn because it was causing them to lose advertisers. This included shots of "female-presenting nipples" i.e. women's nipples. Many of the site's users left as they thought it unfair to "queer people" and "sex workers." Evidently, this person was one of them. And of course her bio says "TERFs duck off" ...
This is insanity. I collected dinky toy cars and had Scaletrix as a child. Thank goodness I was born in the 1970s.
This infuriates me. She doesn’t want to be a boy she just wants to dress and play like her brother. It’s child cruelty.
I swear I am never going to understand this perspective that it’s better to give children body altering drugs that you don’t know the long term effects of than just let them play with cars? Genuinely I cannot get it through my head why any reasonable sensible parent would think that’s best at all
It’s always ‘the child was forced to wear this/play with this’ so they came out as trans. It’s never ‘she/he could play and dress how they wanted’. It’s little wonder so many kids are ‘coming out’ if you can’t so much as a play with a bleeping toy if you’re the ‘wrong’ sex!
It’s infuriating and heartbreaking at the same time!!!
Uni gives staff guidance on 'microinsults' that could upset trans students
The list includes phrases such as ‘I wanted to be a boy when I was a child’.

I thought it was bad enough when I worked for a public sector archive and wasn't allowed to tick the female box for the Queen or the male box for a 3rd century farmer because 'we don't know how they identify' but academia has that beat.

So if you're a poc or lgb or a woman or a poor white man ... does it cancel out your cis privilege?
Exactly! So when are the male privilege, straight privilege, white privilege, free-from-bipolar-disorder privilege, free-from-schizophrenia privilege, have-all-4-limbs privilege (you get what I'm trying to say) re-education camps happening? You start that bullshit, there's no end in sight!
I bleeping hate this. We are literally going backwards. I have boy/girl twins, they share all of their toys. My son likes pushing a dolly pram around, my daughter much prefers cars. They're still a boy and a girl. Nursery is a free for all for toys and they can play with whatever the hell they like, they don't know that toys are "gendered" they're toddlers. What happened to stepping away from the idea that girls only like Barbie's and pink and can't like trucks and tractors. My son has blue & pink clothes, my daughter has blue & pink clothes. Simple.
I don't believe a 4 year old child can turn around and say they're the other gender without the parent seriously pushing the idea on them. It's vile.
Guaranteed on this ‘know you cis privilege’ course, they won’t have large print copies of any handouts on offer for me who is visually impaired and won’t be able to read the standard one. But it’s ok, my ‘cis privilege’ will get me through...
they've got perfect vision privilege, you should let them know
well I’ll try but unless there’s also a visually impaired man in a dress in the room, I doubt much will be done about it
This is awful. Clearly it’s just a child wanting to be just like her twin. Simple as that.
I genuinely thought a friend of a friend was going to trans her son. He has a big sister and liked to wear her dresses (dressing up clothes and regular dresses). The mum made quite a big deal out of buying him his own dresses, posting photos of them out and about in dresses, and made a comment about him wanting to wear dresses when he started school.
As far as I know she didn’t send him to school wearing a dress, and I haven’t seen photos of him in a dress for years. Safe to say it was a phase... because he was four years old and that’s what four year olds do.
Love how the father shares this all on LinkedIn of all platforms and boasts that he has the consent of the 4 year old daughter. Yeah, I’m sure a 4 year old understands what you’re doing.
Can anyone here really remember much about their own thought processes at 4 years old? I barely have any memories of that age. I remember crying over a dropped toy, and being stung by a bee, but other than that I have no recollection. So how can a 4 year old consider sex, gender, patriarchy, gender expectations etc enough to make an informed decision that would affect their future health, fertility etc etc... madness.
When I was 4 I played with both Barbies and Thomas the Tank engine train sets. If I had "woke" parents I'd probably have been told I'm non binary or genderfluid...let kids be kids.
