This is what peaked me, realizing a friend was willing to put his two <10-year-old sons through seeing him transition and needing to change what they called him. After he told me misogyny doesn’t exist. I feel for his poor (supportive) wife.

Child abuse. Messing with their heads, their boundaries, teaching them an "alternate reality" -- Sexual fetishes have no place in healthy parenting. The wife needs to get her children out of that situation. What's terrifying is we have a legal system keeping them there. What was that Jeffrey Tambor series "Transparent" -- trying to brainwash people that this is normal. It's not.

I remember decades ago (and looking back, this seems highly inappropriate for the teacher to have asked!) in high school a teacher asked whose parents were divorced -- I think it was some sort of social studies lesson -- and I was the only one in a class of at least twenty whose hand did not go up. I was so shocked. (And not saying my parents didn't have problems!) Now I suspect teachers will ask how many have parents who are trans -- and those students will get extra credit no doubt!
