So all those kids [weasel word: how many, and according to who?] who hit puberty and grew out of it did so because they were in the face of hatred and ignorance? [Where did I say this? In fact, I said the exact opposite.]
So there isnt a bunch of detransitioning young people [weasel word: how many? and according to whom?] talking about how it was the biggest mistake they ever made?
Could you imagine if we treated anorexics like we treat the trans issue? Both are dysphoria. [Yes, and Ladas and Maseratis are both cars. So?] Called people hateful and ignorant for pointing out why the way it's being handled [handled by whom? and how?] is insanely harmful [loaded epithet + weasel word: how harmful? Give us numbers, yo!] not just to society [which society are you referring to, here? one that strictly polices gender roles or one that doesn't?] but to the individuals?
Fyi....children are keenly aware early on of societies gender roles with in the toys available to them and child hood is where the topic ALWAYS first comes up. So yes....they are aware certain things are for "girls" and other things are for "boys". Children get slammed with this early on.
Basically because they are children....their personalities are slowly becoming their own. If a little girl was dressed in frilly pink girly shit by mom all during infancy? Given super feminine toys through toddlerhood? Once that girl becomes about 3 or 4? If the girl doesnt like these super femine things? She doesnt have the language or understanding to say "hey mom...I know I'm a girl and all, but I dont really like pink or like all this foofy shit. In fact, I prefer comfy clothes and i really would like that nerf gun instead of these baby dolls".
The little child only knows "pink foofy/dolls are for girls......nerf gun/comfy clothes for boys.....I like the nerd gun. I'm a boy". <---- this is exactly how little children think [source? Are you a child psychologist, perchance?]. Its NOT deeper than that. You lay society enforced gender roles on a toddler they buck a bit if they arent into what society deems biological sex appropriate [Not if they're trans they don't. They'll fight tooth and nail.] And BTW that's exactly what children are told. Be a girl and try to go into the boy clothes area or boy toys... you get told "that's for boys. The girl stuff is over here". So yeah many kids will start THERE and decide they must be a boy since they like "boy stuff" [ludicrous non sequitur too patently ridiculous even to mock].
Do you see how it US who have the problem? Not the child? [What I see is that it is YOU, as an individual, who has the problem, not the child.]
Wtf would be so wrong with the mom in that video making SURE her child knows he is a boy? [I'll give you a chance to re-read the preceding sentence and work out the implications for yourself.] A boy who likes long hair and nail polish and princess shit? That child is being told these things are SO feminine that he has to be a girl to qualify. [Says who, again?]
So its reinforcing toxic gender roles in the worst fucking way imaginable. [No. "Reinforcing toxic gender roles" is a parent "making SURE her child knows he is a boy" when it's quite obvious his gender identity screams otherwise. Your utter lack of empathy, sensitivity, compassion for--and understanding of--the inner lives of children is troubling, to say the least (and the least said the better).]
Why cant the definition of what a boy/man just be expanded? [I agree. But, try it. I dare you. Watch the usual suspects flock to you with torches and pitchforks.] We have to lie about biological sex [No, you don't. You choose to lie to yourselves about what it means to be a gendered being. If a body has XY chromosomes, it's a male body; if it has XX chromosomes, it's a female one. But that's biological sex, not gender.] and force [enforcing respect for the inalienable rights of human beings! Imagine that!] this ....essentially [weasel word: how so?] religious [seriously?] ideology [again, I'm surprised (or maybe not) that the defending of inalienable human rights is an ideology you, of all people, would have a problem with]....onto all of society [by which I assume you mean "Trans Exclusionary" society, amirite?]
And do harm to countless children [another, fact-free weasel word: please take the time to count them... I've always wondered how many is "countless"] who likely [speculation at its finest] and statistically would have been fine with their biologic sex so long as they understood nail polish and footballs are just gender suggestions.....not laws. [another invite to the reactionary torch-and-pitchfork crowd. Way to go, Dovey!]
And yeah...taking a kid at their word when they do the whole "I'm the opposite sex" and socially transitioning them and taking them to gender clinics and reaffirming this to them when it could have been as simply as a fucking Nerf Gun they wanted or some deeper issue like they think their parents were disappointed not to get the opposite sex? That's child abuse. It just is. And exploitation. [Indeed, children are never to be believed by their parents, even if that disbelief leads their children to suicidal ideations. Not sure the abuse is to be found where you think it does. Plus, I'll consider the treatments recommended by the medical and psychiatric professions to be more informed and evidence-based than the homiletic pronouncements of Dr. Dovey, thank you.]
I wont hold my breath waiting for Vice to do a video on the thousands of detransitioners [more weasel words: numbers? source?] whose parents scrambled their brains by "reaffirming" their childhood desire to play with boy toys [and there you have it, this reductive statement is what you think deep-seated identity is all about; I'm floored (or not)] or be a son to dad by telling their little girls they were definately boys. [Again, you have this backwards, Dovey; it's the little girl telling parents who she is, not the other way around. Imposing your religiously-based gender ideology on children is the real abuse, here. Parents who love their children will move mountains to secure their happiness, especially if their child's expressed and insistent/persistent gender identity is at variance with the norm.]
I saw one doc [Good for you! I spent the last fifty-five years living and breathing in a Trans reality and studying the shit out of my own identity, but I'm glad you "saw one doc")] about "transkids" where the kid whose was on National Geographic told his mother she was destroying his life and he didnt want to continue doing any of the public shit she had him doing. She didnt hear him. The doc and the mom just carried on like the poor kid didnt legit say "this is ruining my life". [I'm not at all surprised that this type of anecdotal evidence satisfies you. Some of us need to dig deeper.]
It really amazes me that the people in society who advertise themselves as the open minded and intellectual ones are truly just the most dogmatic, judgemental and narrow minded ones where they are just completely incapable of understanding any arguments outside of whatever narrative they like. This isnt about bigotry. This is about the well being and health of society, children, and yes.....womens rights. This ideology IS doing harm. Lots of harm. And people getting labeled as hateful for questioning it or being ruthlessly attacked like JK Rowling simply for stating a fact just shows not just how toxic it is but how weak it is. [This whole paragraph is a political rant. You do "do you," don't you?]
It doesnt stand scrunity. So scrunity must be labeled bigotry. [No. Bigotry is labeled bigotry. Unbigoted scrutiny is always welcome.]
You know in some public schools [another weasel word: how many? which ones? where?] teachers can "socially trans" a kid over 11 and they are not allowed to discuss it with the parents? [Again, source?] So now that trans is the new emo and it's an actual fad [yet another reductive dismissal of other human beings' lived experience] among youth.....parents get isolated out of information they need to advocate for and protect their child? [Stop painting parents as victims. Parents who care about their children's development get informed.] So minors can now self identify as the opposite sex and have to be treated like it. [And, what? You really, truly, honestly believe this happens in a social and professional vacuum? For real?] Real healthy. [Not sure you would know what's "real healthy" if it slapped you in the crook of your elbow. Just sayin'.]
As the prior generation grew up, they can grow out their haircut and wash off the eyeliner. These kids today are on puberty blockers getting "top surgery"(the cool way of saying double masectomy). This is a problem and it's sad. [Yes, and the problem, obviously, is that things used to be different when you were a wee girl. In all likelihood, you had to walk five miles through the snow to get to school. Times change, I guess?]
