My friends' niece was sucked into transgenderism by her social worker. She was 11, was autistic and had had a lot of personal struggles, including moving house recently. She told her social worker she often felt like she couldn't be her true self in social situations, that she had to 'wear a mask' (not literally). Boom, social worker tells her she's non-binary. Tells her parents she has lots of clients going through the same thing; that they must affirm her wholeheartedly blah blah. Kid is given a binder, her mental health nosedives. Eventually she desists.

I think these social workers have shit jobs. Many have limited training. They crave the validation of believing that they're helping these indigo children discover their true magical selves. That they're saving lives. Nice antidote to the drudgery and shitty reality of their real life.

Now of course they're completely invested in protecting themselves from scrutiny and the accusations that they're actually harming kids.

Same thing with teachers.

Yeah it's crazy. I think that eventually lawsuits are going to come down on these people once the rest of society catches up to the ideas that are being floated.

Like this social worker essentially caused more distress to this kids life due to misdiagnosis. Very clearly a case of malpractice in my mind. Kid is stressed because of life and has to act a certain way in social situations. That's normal, it's just rougher for an autistic kid since they need to learn the rules and they don't come naturally. How the fuck you go from that to non-binary? By that fucking dumbass logic everyone whom has ever felt they can't fully express themselves is non-binary? How retarded. Also why would you give a non-binary kid a binder? Why would they need one?
