I will always stand with these women over a man who was accused of sexual assault in high school, then of sexual misconduct by two different women, one a TERF mother, the other a young detrans woman, and who now faces yet another sexual assault allegation from a different detrans woman.

HAPPY TRANS VISIBILITY DAY

The “push” to transition children was largely driven by a specific cohort: older paraphilic men (often autogynephilic) who transitioned late in life. Many of them spent their remaining years staring into mirrors, quietly devastated because, no matter how much surgery or hormones they took, they still saw an aging man in women’s clothing staring back, an outcome that never truly satisfied the erotic fantasy of “becoming” a woman.

Transition didn’t deliver the promised euphoria for most of them. They remained secretly miserable, haunted by the irreversible realization that they could never actually experience female puberty, “girlhood,” or the carefree young-woman phase they fetishized. The fantasy was always about embodying an idealized, sexualized version of womanhood from the outside, not living the mundane reality from the inside.

Having failed to achieve that fantasy themselves, and bitterly aware that no amount of medical intervention could rewind the clock and give it to them, they redirected their fixation onto children.

If they couldn’t have the “real” girlhood they eroticized, they would at least ensure that confused or gender-nonconforming kids were put on the same medical pathway early enough to (in their minds) get closer to the fantasy than they ever could.

In practice, this meant pushing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries on minors, effectively sterilizing and permanently altering a generation of (mostly gay, autistic, or trauma-surviving) children who might otherwise have grown up to be same-sex-attracted or simply gender-nonconforming adults.

That is the unvarnished origin story of the aggressive pediatric transition movement: not compassionate healthcare, but the coping mechanism of a group of deeply unhappy, late-transitioning men who couldn’t bear that their own ship had sailed, so they decided to reroute everyone else’s.

@ApostateAri What is wrong with them! Triggering someone and blaming them for reacting is abuse.

[Aunt Bashful @aunt_bashful]

@ApostateAri They waited until you were grieving your pup to do this. It was on purpose. That is evil.

[Aunt Bashful @aunt_bashful]

@PrishaMosley Wait why do we want trans activists' support?
