In case anyone is not aware, the child featured in this episode is Kai Shappley, whose conservative Christian parents beat him for being feminine as a preschooler before ultimately taking him to a gender clinic and having him transitioned.

Kimberly turned to a DIY form of conversion therapy. She dressed Kai in camouflage and held her down to cut her blond hair into a flattop. Since most of the family’s seven children are boys—Kimberly has one adult daughter—there were no “girl toys” at home, but Kimberly asked the Christian daycare Kai attended to hide any baby dolls from her as well. When Kai turned her T-shirts into skirts or insisted she was a girl, Kimberly spanked her. When Kai asked for a Minnie Mouse birthday cake, Kimberly bought her one with Mickey.

“No matter how much punishment this kid got, you couldn’t beat it out of her,” Kimberly said. “You couldn’t pray it out, I couldn’t cast it out.”

That brainwashed asshole had 6 other kids to go through and understand how many phases that they go through. My ex husband's mother showed me some old dolls that were dirtier than sin that he wanted and played with. He's one of the most masculine men I know, and can fix or put together nearly anything and play nearly any instrument. They grow out of things, their interests are as fleeting as the shape of clouds.

Sometimes she would wait until Kimberly was on the toilet to taunt her from just out of striking range: “You know I’m a girl.” Other times, she began praying within her mother’s earshot that God would “let Joseph” (Kai’s former name) “go home and be with Jesus.”

That poor little boy.

That poor child. Imagine being one of his costars, knowing that if you try to save this child before his family does permanent damage to his body, it would end your career.

Ironic that TRAs basically support Christian's view on gender? If a boy is feminine he must be turned into a girl so then it will be okay.

I just saw a clip of this homophobic nightmare. I can't believe Netflix is promoting it. 5 years from gay marriage to this.

HOW do they still have custody over their child? What have child services been doing all this time?

No one cares. And this poor child is not the only one. If you want to be really disturbed, look up Coy Mathis, who has also been the subject of fawning mainstream media attention. He is not the family's first "special" child. There is no criticism of these parents, even when there are clear indications of abuse, or in Coy's case, a strong reason to suspect Munchausen by proxy.

Holy fuck this makes me mad. This is propaganda. To kids!! And the child featured in this is way too fucking young to be dealing with this gender shit!

Of course it was written by a fucking transwoman

Nice to see they got roasted in the comments for it.

Isn't it time we all unsubscribed from Netflix and deleted our accounts? Do they ask why we are deleting our accounts? If so tell them you won't tolerate them promoting the destruction of feminism and dumbing down womanhood to "oooo pink and sparklyyyy!"

I wish I had a Netflix account just to cancel it.

But... left handed people are demonstrably left handed.

Sorry, but in a medical field, the biological sex is paramount to know. And they didn't give her a blue set of scrubs because they're like "duhhh blue is for booooys!" but because everyone has blue scrubs??

The babysitter is a girl who is wearing a blue sweater. If the patient is truly a girl, then why is a non blue hospital gown more appropriate for him?

Looks like these tweets have been written by deeply misogynistic TIM Rose Dommu, his posts on his own page are violently hateful of women and Netflix allowed him to guest post from their account: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=787503322075760&id=100024482991924

How could anyone allow this psychopath to write on their corporate account? This is ridiculous.

Was this the furry pedo transwoman?

But being left handed is not an identity, everyone can see you're more able with the left hand...

What these people fail to realize is that gender isn't backed up by any proof. Sexuality and physical capabilities are.

That poor little kid.

The hospital scene is just the most blatantly regressive. Mary Anne says "if you looked you'd clearly see she's not a boy!" Why? Because he's wearing a butterfly shirt and has long hair?

And the show was so promising until then...

"Oh boy! The meaning of “traumatic “ really changed since the 1940’s" "My uncle managed to get through the Bataan Death March without even being offered the choice of a blue bayonet or a pink one."

That got me XD

The person pushing this crap on Netflix is a pedophile trans furry as well.

Go on twitter if you want to see screen shots.

Also the lying assholes all over Twitter saying this doesn't happen, ~no parent would want a trans kid more than a gay kid~ -- FUCK YOU.

Cannot make this shit up anymore. Clearly unhinged, Netflix what were you thinking. https://imgur.com/a/etxBOB8

How odd is it that Humpty Dumpty is presiding over the conversation in that first clip?
