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.
