Check this out: https://www.amandajetteknox.com/blog/2020/5/18/the-darkest-day-and-finding-my-way-out This woman's husband and son both came out as trans and she basically made her entire life about stanning trans people.
They still cancelled her for "having a voice that is too big for a cis person" or some shit like that.
It really is a cult.

Her son seems to be detrans-ing. (I don't know if he ever took hormones, but he switched from "transgirl" to "non-binary they.") I wonder if that's part of it too.

It really is interesting with "Trans kids". On the one hand you have transexual adults like Blaire White and Buck Angel that do say they knew their gender identity from a young age, so I do believe for that tiny fraction of a percent of the population that are actually trans that they might know as kids. But with all these "famous" trans kids if you look them up a few years later many of them have just disappeared, no new updates for years and their fan pages are offline or abandoned. Idk if they are all desisting or if the parents decided they didn't want to be in the spotlight. But it definitely seems like a risky thing to build your life around having a special transgender snowflake rainbow child when they might just grow out of it. The people who pimp out their children with autism or downs or whatever to the media for attention at least know their child's condition won't change. I just kinda feel like parents making a career around putting their kids in the spotlight is a terrible idea in general.
