🧵 In 2017, 9 year old Avery Jackson became the ‘poster child’ for “trans kids” 🏳️⚧️ after being featured on the cover of National Geographic.
Now aged 17 & let’s check in on Avery & his affirming family.
Let’s see if kids ‘know who they are’ ⬇️

Before his viral appearance on National Geographic at age 9, here’s a video of little Avery at age 7.
Avery was a normal kid. He discussed enjoying climbing, playing with his brother & wanting to be a ninja.
Then, the child’s shocking revelation:
“Oh, and I’m transgender”

7 year old Avery discusses being born a boy & having boy body parts, but knowing that he was a ‘girl inside’.
When young kids claim that they are *really* members of the opposite sex, it begs the question:
What level of understanding do young kids have about their ‘gender’?

The 7 year old “transgender child” shows great self-awareness when he says:
“Sometimes I like to play as an animal, a ninja or a princess. But it doesn’t mean my parents should treat me that way because it’s just make-believe.”
Instead of listening, his parents affirmed.

Following Avery’s cover story on National Geographic in 2016- he appears alongside his family & three other “transgender children” in HBO’s “Transhood”documentary.
Avery & the other featured ‘trans kids’ were tracked for 5 years.
The footage left viewers SHOCKED
5
In this shocking clip from “Transhood,” Avery expresses no longer wanting to continue his public life of trans activism & his book tour, saying that it “ruined” his life.
To this, his transactivist mom Debi responds with shock that her CHILD *changed his mind*
6
This shocking clip from “Transhood” shows how Avery’s mom Debi dismisses her child’s change of heart regarding his life trajectory as a mini trans activist.
Though the trans activists say that parents must listen to & affirm their kids, this trans activist mom did NEITHER.

Avery was affirmed as a girl by everyone, including President Biden.
Yet his love of all things ‘girly’ began to disappear as he got older. At age 14-15 Avery had already been on a regimen of puberty blockers & cross-sex hormones- rendering him sterile for life.

The 7 year old boy who said he was a ‘girl inside’, who loved pink, butterflies & dresses- made a shocking revelation ten years later:
At 17 years old, following his permanent chemical castration, Avery declared that he wasn’t really a girl- but that he was ‘non-binary’
9
Avery was a toddler who liked pink & dresses. He had discomfort with his male genitals. His mom went onto the internet, where she was told that her child ‘might be’ transgender.
Then, the pediatrician affirmed it & the Debi fully committed herself to transitioning her son
10
Societal opposition to letting a boy grow his hair & wear sparkles caused Avery distress. The other toddlers didn’t care about Avery’s non-conformity, it was their parents who did.
Avery’s family went into hiding so Avery could grow his hair & live as an ‘acceptable girl’
11
Debi Jackson faced her son’s insurmountable distress by seeking the opinion of an “expert” who recommended raising the boy as a girl.
Debi’s decision to follow the experts’ advice made her a social pariah. Persecution further drove Debi into the clutches of transactivists.
12
When this little boy’s mom was told by the experts that she must trans her son & she faced social backlash for it- she dug her heels in further.
She didn’t have a child 17 years ago, expecting to be a trans activist. She genuinely believes castrating her son saved his life.
13
Debi Jackson felt persecuted for following the expert opinion to transition her son. She went from a skeptic to a true believer.
As her son began to change & grow out of his ‘girly’ behaviors, his mom had already committed fully to his transition.
14
Even as this little boy turned-“trans kid” pioneer began to grow out of his ‘girl identity’ phase, his mom had already re-routed her life’s mission in pursuit of a techno-medical fantasy.
If only her little boy had been allowed to have his princess phase in peace.
15
This mom became so captured by trans ideology that she upended her family’s entire life for it.
By the time her son was castrated, neither of them could ‘go back’ even if they both wanted to.
She’d rather say that her son is nonbinary than to admit her catastrophic mistake
