It's straight, white women pushing this agenda. They want so badly to be part of that community, they'll sacrifice even their own children to it. It's child abuse, in my book.

When I was in teacher training I had an idea for a cruel experiment, teach children who didn’t already know their left and right the opposite and see how it affected them growing up.

I very quickly realised that it would be straight up child abuse, as even that small lie would leave them unable to cope in the world.

But having thought that through brought me to the realisation that as a teacher (or parent) you have a responsibility to teach the children in your care about the world as it is and not the way you think it should be or wish it was, because doing anything other than that is giving the child a handicap.

I still joke with children in class, but when I have jokes with them I always ensure that I explain the joke just in case there are children that don’t understand (there are always children that don’t understand).

Thats a long way of me saying, yes, to wilfully mislead children about their sex, or about whether it is possible to alter one’s sex, is indeed child abuse.

A less cruel version of that experiment you might be able to get past an ethics board is finding some kind of regional dialect difference. Like soccer vs football. Get a bunch of kids with each dialect who don't have an idea that there is a difference. Set up some situation where you've got footballs and soccer balls around and they need to communicate with each other or something, and watch what happens.

Often they want to piss off their daddy, who is the child's grandfather

Or perhaps she hates herself. Women are unsurpassed at self-hate. A man who is angry or sad lashes out at the world; a woman who is angry or sad lashes out at herself. Most mothers see their newborn child as an extension of them (as the child technically was that, until a few months before) and/or as their most precious thing. So, if they hate themselves, they can hurt themselves the most by hurting their own child.

Or more likely, much like white men, these straight white women finally realized being a rich, educated, pretty white woman no longer means the world revolves around them anymore, and it makes them sick. They can't give their best friend a halfhearted peck on the cheek and claim they totally made out so she can claim to be bi anymore, people realized claiming "queer" is word salad, so all they can do to be special without actually doing anything is to trans their kid so they become the special mother of a trans child. And if it ruins their life and they kill themselves? NOW they're the tragic little trooper mother of a trans suicide who's dedicating their life to fulfill their baby's legacy, so they're the special one forever!

I'm curious how this: "I have to wait for my child to tell me if they are a boy or a girl" experiment will end when nobody can tell the child what a boy or a girl is.

"Okay, honey. You're 8 now. Can you tell me if you're a boy or a girl or neither?"
"What's a boy?"
"Well... Boys are born wit... No... Boys like cars and... No, wait, that's not true... Um, you can just tell when you're a boy."
"How do I tell? What does it feel like?"
"You know.... Boy like... Like a boy."
"What's that like?"
"... Listen here, you little biggot!!"

The child is almost certainly male but is wearing a dress and being addressed as they/them.

Clearly a case of the modern incarnation of Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy.

On the one hand, I could see the logic of "using they/them until they're old enough to say their own pronouns" if you're there.

Unfortunately, it's cancelled by "okay, honey...are you a boy or a girl...but if you're a boy, that means you're a literally evil rapist oppressor who is the cause of everything wrong in the world, and I'll be honest, I just can't love you if you're an evil boy oppressing me...and I always wanted a pretty little girl who'll grow up to be my best friend...and you'll be so special and perfect if you're a girl...so what are you? A perfect pretty little girl to be Mommy's best friend, or a rapist oppressor?"

Using their child for outrage-bait... jesus. What lengths will they go for attention?

That child doesn't stand a chance at a normal life even if they were born normal.
