Rachel McKinnon to trans kids on Mother's Day 2017: "I want to give you hope you can find ... your glitter family. Your queer family. We are out there...Also, you can reach out to me. You can email me.. You can call me. We can Skype. "

McKinnon altered the YouTube description after a backlash, to claim the comments about trans kids "walking away" from family & contacting McKinnon were addressed to adults--but not before that description was archived. (The video speaks for itself anyway.)

In comments on the video (which were altered after a backlash), McKinnon confirmed when questioned that "wrong" pronouns use is tantamount to abuse and reason for kids to abandon their mothers to seek out "glitter families." On Mother's Day.

1. THREAD. Several parents discuss transitions of their very young (ages 1-4) children in another set of leaked posts from the "affirmative" parents FB group. This 3.5-yr-old child wants breasts like mom, but also wonders when mom will grow a penis. Social worker is skeptical.
2. Other parents scoff at expertise of this social worker, who they deem unqualified to question the trans identity of a male toddler who wants breasts but also thinks mom might grow a penis. One mom asserts there's no problem because "detransition is very very rare."
3. If there's one message consistently expressed in this FB group, it's "follow your child's lead"--no matter how many times they change their mind (they might be "nonbinary"), and no matter how young the child.

1. THREAD on breast binding: This is the third batch of screen grabs we have received from a member of the online "affirmative" parent support group. The focus of this set is serious hazards from breast binders. Our source says this is a tiny smattering of what's on the forum.
2. Binder use results in an ER visit. Another mom worries about her 8-year-old's future--a child who has said she doesn't want to change her body. (Another case of a parent believing her child is the opposite sex, even when the child is ok with her body.)
3. Coughing up blood.

1. THREAD. We've been sent another batch of screen grabs from the online parent support group we tweeted about recently (vis-a-vis fake penises for children). The new batch of posts pertain to undergarments & other strategies parents use to conceal their children's male genitalia
2. Nine-year-old inconveniences, doctor's advice on downward tucking.
3. Pluses and minuses of being "well endowed" and brand advice from parents of kids who started tucking as young as 6.

I don't think it's us that needs to learn about sex and gender. I think it's Rosemarie that needs to learn a little something about sexual predators. (Thread)
Let's start with one specific example. We know that this is one of the top professions chosen by psychopaths. This is according to Dutton, who lists the top ten careers as,
CEO
Lawyer
Media (TV/radio)
Salesperson
Surgeon
Journalist
Police officer
Chef
Civil servant
Clergy
The last one on that list is the most interesting. Why would a predator join the priesthood? Well, the answer's obvious really. Access to vulnerable people is the name of the game.

THREAD: earlier I tweeted about Jesse Singal's long history of writing fearmongering anti-#trans/GNC #children articles (+ also treating me & other trans women shittily): #transgender #LGBTQ #health #psychology
...Here I will "live tweet" Singal's latest Atlantic article, which is in the same vein as the others. If I was teaching a journalism class, I'd use this latest article as an example of how to write a highly biased piece that comes across as "fair & balanced" as possible...
...and since people unfamiliar with this subject will no doubt be unaware of all the misinformation & biases at work here, I'm gonna do math to it! I'm dividing it into 14 sections, each of which begins with its own header (aka, giant capital letter)...

It is *not* a "total reversal" of his beliefs for *all* #Trans ppl. Your selective reading of the page is very telling and is representative of the mentality & intentions common among Trans "activists/allies." Altho this case and perhaps your own perspective are not nearly the1/x
most egregious, they are still problematic. Anyone reading your tweets would likely believe that Hakeem does not believe in psychotherapy for *any* #Trans ppl, which is clearly not the case. It is like those who ignore that @BlanchardPhD & @profjmb are among the strongest 2/x
advocates of #Trans ppl, including supporting their desire for SRS--in adulthood. In short, you/others frame the narrative in such a self-serving and selective/biased/distorted manner. For instance, 1) there is still *no* evidence that being "Trans" is "normal" in any way, 3/x
