It's retarded.

It's child abuse.

Seriously, that poor child is living under the rule of abnormality. Abnormal is normal for that child.

This is the beginning of a new fucking religion, and I hate it with such vehemence.

I've heard cruelty defined as that which you cannot predict—it's when you get punished for something inconsequential, or that you had no possibility of knowing. When you do your best but have the rug pulled out from under you.

It's one thing to be corrected when you've done wrong in a way you can understand and learn from. But when your whole world becomes a minefield with no stable reality, that's a recipe for trauma.

It's why we don't punish people without the mental capacity to understand, or punish dogs for something they didn't do.

Unpredictability is also how you break people down so they become compliant to anything you say. Cults, totalitarian regimes, abusive husbands and the like have used cruelty like this to their great advantage.

It's A Clockwork Orange.

Yeah, I think people underestimate how damaging this can actually be. Aside from (what should be) the obvious negative psychological effects of trying to get your child to believe in something that directly contradicts reality, I worry that these "theybies" are particular vulnerable to sexual abuse. Kind of like kids who are taught to call their genitals "cookie" or something like that, if these children don't have the correct biological vocabulary to communicate with trusted adults, how will they be able to communicate when they need help?

Before trans capture social services we trained to spot parents messaging with their kids' gender as a possible sign of abuse. Now it's completely the opposite, if parents don't play along with the child's delusions the kid can be taken away.

I have been horrified to find out that social work is a popular choice for theybians.

From the original post:

keep creating the world

People with a chip on their shoulder shouldn't be in positions with that kind of power. Unfortunately that's often where they end up.

It throws the option of using descriptive terminology to describe a potential threatening person out the window. If you're not allowed to say man or woman, boy or girl, or are required to learn the pronouns of a sexual predator.. that's going to spell out trouble. How the fuck are forensic artists supposed to work with that?

Especially when asking children. But when you really ask a child who's been trained on "they", they'll still know.
