Here we have @globalnews with a heartwarming story about a “transgender child” from Toronto, which ticks all the boxes for ruining a child’s life based solely on stereotypes.

This woman’s daughter announced at five years old that she’s a boy.

However, we are told that the signs had been present since she was a toddler.

What were those signs?

- Screaming when asked to wear a dress for Thanksgiving dinner
- Adamant about wanting short hair
- Disliking a baby photo of herself wearing a dress

That’s it. Those were the signs.

How people can’t see that this harmful ideology is based on nothing but regressive stereotypes is beyond me.

Now, this six-year-old girl is being raised as a boy. The adults in her life are telling her that she is a boy. When she hits puberty, she’s going to want puberty blockers because going through the “wrong puberty” is simply not an option. She’s a boy. Her parents told her so. Her doctors told her so. Her teachers told her so. How can she possibly develop breasts and have periods when she’s a boy?

Then, she’ll need to take testosterone. Because she’s a boy. Maybe she’ll have a bilateral mastectomy.

But at the end of it all, she’ll be a boy with a vagina. So then she has two choices: be a “man” with a vagina, or have her forearm skinned and a pseudo-penis fashioned out of the tissue and sewn onto her groin. Because that’s sure to help her mental well-being.

There is no happy ending to this story, and her parents are the ones who did this to her. A change of name and pronouns might seem harmless. It might seem the compassionate thing to do to alleviate the suffering of a child who is “different,” but it sets off a chain reaction that leads to a lifetime of inauthenticity, often with an enormous medical burden.

@JulianLare @LoveRunandPray @Morbidful @SussexIncidents @sussex_police I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s despicable and distressing behaviour.

Since @billybragg has honoured me with a response, I'm going to indulge in a long 🧵 to give me the space to argue that he is dangerously wrong about free expression. Here goes:

@HJoyceGender @HJoyceGender I’m Jenny from the article. Thank you so much for posting this. What the article doesn’t mention is that the venue has cancelled my events after 4.5 years of using their venue. All because I’ve announced that men are not permitted to attend these lesbian events…

[Helen Joyce @HJoyceGender]

This story is immensely distressing. Lesbians being investigated for bigotry simply because they have the temerity to hold a speed-dating event from which men are excluded. I don't know how anyone can defend this. https://t.co/5T38E5ZzOg

Honest question: If you're one of those people who condemns blackface but celebrates womanface, have you ever stopped to ask yourself why you're such a duplicitous shitheel?

[Alys Gruff 💜🤍💚 @alys_griff]

@LindaAshton2 @RealityEnthusi2 Every account of ‘trans’ children is riddled with gender stereotyping of toys or clothes OR involves a parent who wanted a child of particular sex OR parents who are anti gay AND a parent revelling in being ‘special’. Every single time.
Analyse the back stories in plain sight.

@stevlandambrose @RealityEnthusi2 Sometimes there are only absolutes. Especially where protecting children is concerned. Do you think we shouldn’t call it out? Do you expect us to be polite about what’s being done?

[Alys Gruff 💜🤍💚 @alys_griff]

@EmeraldCityMD @Mistwold10 @RealityEnthusi2 Have you always been this stupid?

[Alys Gruff 💜🤍💚 @alys_griff]

@JeremysChaos @EmeraldCityMD @RealityEnthusi2 It’s not. This guy is either super thick, clueless or trolling.

[Alys Gruff 💜🤍💚 @alys_griff]

@EmeraldCityMD @sunnydazeuk @RealityEnthusi2 Why?

[Gareth Roberts @OldRoberts953]

‘It all feels desperately sad. I suspect the vast majority of us just want to go back the days of Father Ted, of Jenny Eclair and Lily Savage and The League of Gentlemen, of robust and vulgar and joyful humour and a genuinely inclusive, forgiving atmosphere. But a tiny handful of humourless scolds will not let it lie. The pricks.’

[Alys Gruff 💜🤍💚 @alys_griff]

@DollyMiddlemiss @OldRoberts953 How do you define ‘abuse’?

[Alys Gruff 💜🤍💚 @alys_griff]

@SBoona @mikesalter74 In a vacuum that would work. Trouble seems to be that early on the bias is still being reinforced hence need for women only competitions until it filters through. There’s still belief that women’s brains aren’t as good! Unbelievable this is so but there it is.

@SBoona @mikesalter74 What do you think about the points @mikesalter74 makes?

I normally don't stick my head over the parapet on such issues, but as a former competitive chess player who understands a bit about the game, I thought I could provide a bit of context here. /1

@JanMcLachlan @LouSirrCommie @BBCNews They can play transwomen in the open category if they want to.
