When I was in my last year of primary school, I wanted to be called Madde, after a Scandinavian book I'd read. I still have lots of school work that I signed with that name. My teacher indulged me for a few weeks, and then I got over it, and went back to my real name.
I am not saying that transgender people cannot know from an early age. Lots say that they did. But, it was not documented on the daily, posted for the world to see, and did not make their parents a pretty penny to boot.
From what we have now seen from Eduardo, the whole story does not strike me as true. We have seen the effort Jonathan has put into this, the many months of daily Tiktoks he had Eduardo do with him, and how he would ask him if it was 'a boy day or a girl day', but by then Eduardo would have known full well what his dad's favoured outcome would be; girl day. The transistion to only wearing the girl uniform to school, even down to the swimming costume.... And now this. Monetised, plastered over three social media networks, with no chance of taking this slow, dealing with it in private, speaking to professionals.
It's just so wrong.
My heart breaks for Eduardo. If the kiddo changes his mind, it's online forever. If she doesn't, it's online forever and she will never have the chance to not tell someone, even if it's unsafe to do so. Jonathan and Anna have taken this away from Eduardo, and it's cruel and abusive. Anyone who says any different needs to have a serious talk with themselves.
Just started watching the vlog, and he says 'we met a lot of trans people'. Did you? Did you really?
