I am a mom, and I think what would get me was the idea that in some school systems they accept kids' social transitioning without contacting parents, because parents might be unsafe. What a headfuck that is for kids to immediately be plunged into this double life.

At some gender clinics or through some doctors, kids can get T without parental permission or knowledge, and it can have some gnarly side effects that kids may not really understand the consequences of. Also there's no real evidence that kids are less suicidal once they transition. The problems are still there.

It's being considered a social contagion or craze--young women are likely to pick up on what's going on with their friends in distress and feel it matches them too. Not saying that all trans kids are wrong, but it would be better to unpack the underlying issues with kids who are depressed.

It's fucked up that our girls are being sucked into the transcult and welcomed with open arms, and no one questions the explosion in growth, or the general one sidedness of it in teen girls. TRAs are just using them as cannon fodder.
