He was basically fucked when the parents allowed him to go on blockers. This is 7 years too late.

Aged 13, he began attending the scandal-hit Tavistock child gender clinic in London and was prescribed puberty-blocking drugs against his parents' wishes at 16.

How do they explain sending their 13 year old to something called a Gender Identity Development Service? You'd think they'd know before 13 years pass by. There are actual indicators present at birth, no need to wait 'til puberty to figure out if that's a male or female penis.

They got a referral from a doctor and thought that the people there were acting responsibly and would help their kid?

I don’t think it is outrageous for parents to expect clinicians to act in the best interests of the kids and not in the interests of ideology. I wouldn’t give that benefit of the doubt to a parent sending their kid to a gender identity service now though, with all the publicity around how shit they are - but eight years ago, almost no one had any idea that that things were that bad, nor how ridiculous the ideology was (because people weren’t very aware of the subject at all).

Likely true, and that lack of intelligence and awareness is why the stock on the hominid ranches are considered cattle. I mean, imagine raising a child in a way that results in it not knowing if it's a boy or girl.

Your characterisation is wrong, and a very simplistic and unhelpful way of looking at a complex issue.

Autism is prevalent amongst troons as are other mental health issues.

The AGPs are also extremely good at grooming young kids online, and use exactly the same tactics cults and Islamic extremists use to recruit and radicalise.

A thirteen year old autist, spends time online on Reddit or some other message board and gets talked into this stuff just as puberty is kicking off and his brain is a bit messed up by the hormone surge (not to mention bodily changes) and it’s not hard to see how this happens.

We know that the vast majority of the girls who go down the Troon route have been talked into it online and/or within their social group in exactly the same way they were talked into eating disorders and self-harming in years gone by. The fact that schools report whole friend groups that suddenly identify as boys or non-binary without showing any signs beforehand and in proportions that are completely out of whack with the incidence rate. Social contagion and self-brainwashing.

Children should not be allowed anywhere near any social media, allowing the world access to your kids’ bedrooms is a fucking disaster and quite frankly I can’t believe how retarded parents have been with this.

Don't forget the related side: Autists are the single easiest group of people in cults/hate groups to recruit/radicalize, because they're socially awkward, they'll do ANYTHING for a place that they belong, and they're so trusting that if you promise them what they want they cannot possibly fathom you'll have an ulterior motive to get them to do it or even that there'd be the slightest chance you're lying to them and won't actually give them what they want.

You’re absolutely right, and I’d add that autists can become extremely fixated and are rigid thinkers, so once they’re convinced they’re a girl in a boy’s body, they’re headed down the transition highway at full speed.

Which part of my characterisation is wrong? As for looking at the plain truth of a situation, that's usually more helpful than wandering through the complexity of irrelevant details.

The fact is, they raised their child in such a way that it didn't know if it was a boy or girl. The specific techniques they employed to achieve that result are less important than the fact that they did it in the first place.

...quite frankly I can’t believe how retarded parents have been with this.

Close to my point, but it's easily believable. 100 IQ is not the minimal acceptable level of function, it's the average! Just look at the percentage of children who get handed over to government schools for programming...

Parents used to think that brining their kid to a gender identity clinic would mean talk therapy and a way to bring the kid back to reality but it turned out the clinic was ideologically bent on turning every kid trans.

[–]ClassroomPast6178[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

They thought that because it did used to mean talk therapy, and then the ideologically possessed activists infiltrated the clinics.

I think the whistleblowers at the Tavistock have said the change started in the early 00s.

this video is 2 years old but im just going to drop it here so people go back and see this. It takes SO MUCH TIME to reverse course once these things become entrenched.

The parents generally don’t raise their children in that way. The mechanisms by which children get sucked into this shit is out of the hands of the parents and often, by the time the parents are aware, stupid shit like “social transition” has been done by the child (sometimes even facilitated by the kid’s school etc).

Unless you’re talking about the Munchausen Mothers who trans their little boys because they want girls or don’t want gay sons. But they tend to start much younger than thirteen.

Sure, so that's why they stayed in-country and allowed the lad to take the pills, because they objected?

If your government pointed its rifle and said "your child will be sterilized and mutilated or you will leave the country" what would you do.

[–]ClassroomPast6178[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

Cause if you try and take a 21-year old out of the country against their will it’s kidnapping?

[–]jet199 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

What if you take them with their will but then you don't let them go back?

[–]ClassroomPast6178[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That’s trafficking.

[–]LyingSpirit472 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Exactly, and it adds to the claim: It becomes the government pointing its rifle and saying "your child will be sterilized and mutilated, or we're throwing you in jail and taking your child from you and giving custody forever to someone who WILL let us sterilize and mutilate your child", there is really nothing to do in that instance. Either way it's going to happen, the only choice is whether it's your signature or your brains on the paperwork.

I think there may be some misunderstanding about this case.

The law says a 21 year old can consent to an operation and their parents have no say in the matter. This is the right thing in 99.99% of matters, as adults we don’t want our parents to be able to interfere in our lives especially not in our healthcare decisions.

However, in this case the father is concerned that his 21-year old son is incapable of consenting due to his autism and mental health issues. In circumstances like this the mechanism that exists is the courts where a judge will hear the evidence and make a decision based on the law and facts.

The government is not involved in this. This is not a Canada situation. In this case the father is asking the court to rule that his son cannot consent. The father will have a pretty hefty burden to prove that, as he should as we don’t want people being ruled incompetent Willy-nilly but this is nothing to do with the government.

This is the sort of court case you might bring if your mother was developing dementia and spending all the family’s money - you’d go to court to get power of attorney to prevent her impoverishing herself and spending your inheritance whilst incompetent.

And this makes the case far more of a question mark since it is fucked up either way.

If the father loses, then this kid who was likely groomed into believing he was transgender and is suicidal beyond his gender identity, meaning it won't satisfy him and he'd 41 no matter what, will get a full sex change.

If the father wins, then it fully says autistic people cannot consent to anything. This cannot possibly end well for the country- because if it does, given how autism is a spectrum disorder, we're potentially looking at a world where anyone who's less of a social butterfly than the prom king/queen can be ruled incompetent and they CAN rule basically anyone who isn't a popular celebrity incompetent of making any decisions for themselves.

I don’t think this will set precedent unlike the Keira Bell case potentially could have.

This court case will be simply about this father and son, just as if you pursued a similar case to prevent your dementia-suffering mother from spending your inheritance buying exotic parrots and eating them. That case would not apply to anyone else’s dementia-suffering mother, they will need to pursue their own cases to save their inheritances.

I see it as similar to those cases where doctors think that there is no further point continuing extreme life-saving measures but the family want them to keep going. The court cases apply to those individuals only.
