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.

The idea about munchausen's mothers has long been discussed in radfem and gender critical gay groups. We have jokingly or disparagingly referred to it as "transhausen's by proxy".

I don't think this applies to this particular mother though or she would never have pushed back on the second son or been critical of the gender therapist. She just bought into the "cult" mindset and in that space there is no room to question the entire concept of a "gender identity".

This is an example of how TRAs dangerously hijack other legitimate social justice issues and launder their gender religion through the good will generated around whichever issue is at play. In this case it was antiwar protests and then they link it to marginalized groups then to an "marginalized identity" then somehow a person has a connection between unjust wars and pronouns. She says here that it felt like someone pulled out a pin from her head and the entire ideology fell apart in her mind in that instant.
