It really is a brave new world. And now, the new frontier is parents and other family members harvesting their own eggs and sperm to be used by the kids they proactively chose to sterilize. The comments on GenderTrender are well worth the read too. Munchausen-by-proxy gone rogue. This is what passes for good parenting of elementary aged children now:
"I have a transgender 7 year old daughter. She has become a beautiful, happy, vibrant person since she started transitioning a year ago. I have no reason to think her identity will change and neither does her therapist.
Because she is so young, she will most likely go on puberty blockers before she ever creates sperm. If she then goes onto hormone treatments directly from the blockers, she will be sterile. She will never create sperm. She’s too young to tell me whether she might someday want biological children, and I strongly suspect, knowing her personality as I do, that she will not want to give up hormone treatments for the length of time it would take to create sperm, because the effects on HER would be, well, significant.
“She’s too young to tell me whether she might someday want biological children.”
…but not too young for you and her “therapist” to make that decision for your child. Orwell lives. Long live doublethink.
This is absolutely horrifying. It is child abuse, plain and simple.
I bet you dollars to doughnuts that this woman and all of her other “trans parent” friends were the ones who decided that their child is trans, based solely on their child displaying gender role noncompliant behavior – a boy wearing mommy’s makeup or wanting to wear a dress (I would give a girl example, but I’ve never heard of one – this phenomenon, like most of the trans world, focuses solely on males). So the parents decide – almost certainly out of a desire for anything but a gay son – that their little boy must be a little girl.
And then they get them started on a lifetime of dangerous, extremely harmful chemicals, medications and surgeries before they’re even big enough to ride a damn roller coaster.
You will never convince me this is anything but rampant homophobia and child abuse.
Yeah, and to be my usual broken record: in studies even acknowledged by WPATH, 75-95% of youngsters who say they want to be the opposite sex grow out of it to become gay, lesbian, or bisexual adults with no gender dysphoria. Given those stats, setting a child this young on the path to “transition” is proactive conversion therapy to prevent adult homosexuality.
