Watched this video this morning.

An interesting look at how someone gets sucked into the trans world through their child. Thank goodness that they appear to have realised before too much harm was done. Interesting that a lesbian didn’t realise that she was transing away the gay for her son though, and that she realised that her younger son was just trying to emulate his older brother when he claimed to be a girl like and didn’t start transitioning him.

Just reading a bit about munchausens mothers which says they get off on depriving their kids of things. So maybe she could have stepped in and stopped it but part of her likely wanted him to find out the predictable consequences of his actions so she deprived him of honest feedback until medical transition got too close. Not to say she is full blown abusive but most of us have done this with our annoying relatives at some point rather than stepping in and not being thanked for it.

Did you watch the video? She was down the trans rabbit hole, she wasn’t just teaching her six-year old son a lesson.

She's an adult, she knew what she was doing. Messing with kid's identity is a pretty basic form of abuse and control. It takes away their most fundamental form of stability.
