I’m not on Tumblr too much anymore, but when I step back in, I can’t help but laugh bitterly that hostile reblogs of my posts,  along with idiotic comments in my Ask box (”fucking TERF your blog is a cesspit lmao”) are nearly all from the teen and young-adult experts who are themselves unwitting victims of a cultural trend. Fish swimming in the ocean don’t think, “Gee, this stuff around me is the ocean.” Trans-trending youth are immersed in something they have no perspective on: the vast sea of transactivist-driven propaganda that surrounds them.

I thought I had a good handle on everything important when I was 18 (or 20 or 23 or..) too. Guess what? I didn’t.

History is littered with scarred victims of discarded medical fads. Lawsuits, recriminations, and regrets abound. The AMA, APA, and formerly well respected doctors and psychiatrists have eaten their words over and over again. Young people have zero understanding of the historical depth perception that develops over a lifetime; a perspective that enables thinking adults to recognize when another well-funded fad is seizing society. We are cutting, drugging, and sterilizing kids in service to the ideology of adult activists, and it’s plain to see to anyone who cares enough to consider the evidence.


But carry on.
