Imagine a system where people who wanted to abuse children were sanctioned by the state to set up a special category of child who could be abused.

Children who can be excluded from normal safeguarding processes and deemed not worthy of our care.

Enter the "transchild". /1

So what is child abuse? To quote NSPCC nspcc.org.uk/what-is-child-… "It is when a child is intentionally harmed by an adult or another child"

This thread will look at the intentional harm committed on a specific group of children in the name of an ideology. /2

So who are these targeted children?

These pre-pubescent and pubescent children who are/feel vulnerable. Often they are confused about their own sexuality. They may be gay, gender non conforming, autistic, victims of abuse, and traumatised. /3

"Children with gender dysphoria often experience a range of psychiatric comorbidities, with a high prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, eating disorders and autism spectrum conditions, suicidality and self-harm." /4 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10….

The key thing is that they are questioning of/confused by their own gender.

It is important to note that being gender questioning is a natural part of childhood development. ALL children question their own sex/gender. Here is Kohlberg on this area. /5 verywellmind.com/an-overview-of….

What Kohlberg proposed is that for a child to repeatedly question their sex and gender roles is a natural part of childhood development. This is undisputed empirical research. /6

What gender ideologists have done is taken this natural part of childhood development and deliberately used it to manipulate the child.

They have turned those natural developmental phases into key intervention times, for targeting the most vulnerable children. /7

As we know adult child abusers will deliberately target the most vulnerable children and the demographic of those children most vulnerable fits those that are referred to gender clinics. bbc.co.uk/news/health-51… /8

So what can we learn from this?

All children go through periods of questioning sex and gender roles.
For most this is relatively unproblematic and they pass through unscathed. /9

However for some particularly vulnerable children the process is traumatising. These children are commonly referred to as gender dysphoric. /10

What gender ideology has managed to do is convince key parts of our society that these children are different to others. So different they have a name "transchild".

So different that rules governing other children do not apply to them. /11

So they can be chemically sterilised with no real medical diagnosis, just because they have been persuaded that they are "trans". How this was achieved has been explored here.

Through the gender adultification of children. /12

How to end this state sanctioned abuse of children?

We must return to the science and evidence. To Piaget, Kohlberg, Bandura, Vgotsky etc.

The concept of the "transchild" must be rejected for what it is. A socially fabricated construct to enable the abuse of children. /13

In summary. Children, as they mature, must be allowed to experiment with concepts/ideas around their own sense of gender & sex.

Let them dress up how they wish, without the fear that their experimentation will be seen as proof/affirmation of a regressive adult ideology. /end
