I am, by direct experience. I've witnessed everything but the actual masturbatory rituals and attempted breastfeeding (thankfully). It all predated the recent rise of TRA and was enabled by a network of online "support groups" an non-gatekeeping clinicians.

Thank you for this info. This seems to have an addictive, destructive quality to it that can absolutely consume lives, and I'm not trustful of any push to normalize or view this as some kind of no-problemo, judge-not sexual orientation.

That's... profane. The baby does not exist to validate that adult's appropriated identity or medically constructed 'femininity'.

I hope this is a one-off and not an actual trend :/
