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

How did transgenderism, a movement that celebrates blokes dressing up as pornified, fetishised caricatures of women, ever become regarded as progressive and liberationary?
How did transgenderism, a movement that celebrates the sterilisation and mutilation of our most vulnerable children for profit, whilst calling it care, ever become regarded as progressive and liberationary?
How did transgenderism, a movement that celebrates the removal of basic safeguarding processes, and the indoctrination and adultification of children, ever become regarded as progressive and liberationary?

Just to be completely clear....

Children dressing in clothes/playing with toys that are not marketed for their sex are not 'transchildren'. They are just children playing and experimenting with different experiences. This is a NORMAL part of child development.

What we call 'gender non conformity' in children is an adult label for a child working out who they are.

(And this is why the social transitioning of children is such a heinous act. It is taking a natural developmental process (GNC) and pathologising and monetising it for ideological purposes).
It is also 'normal' for children to persist for long periods in their 'gender non conforming' style. This again is not a sign of transness. It is just them working out who they are over an extended period.

The last thing they need is an abusive and exploitative adult label (trans) being forced onto them.
And what about the children who insist/persist that they are 'trans'?

It is not unusual for children to borrow adult concepts and constructs as part of their development play. And if that borrowing results in lots of adult attention or, most importantly, more parental love, why would a child not persist in that behaviour?

A question transactivism cannot answer.

Where were all the 'transchildren' from 1920-2000 when Piaget, Kohlberg, Bandura, Vygotsky, Erikson, Bowlby, Steiner etc along with their students (and their vociferous critics) were spending tens of thousands of hours doing empirical research on children?

Research that involved studying children at home, in nursery and at school. Studies that involved writing down every action, statement, or question that the child asked. And then analysing these recordings for patterns and insights.

Not one of them observed a 'transchild' in all this time.

So where were all the 'transchildren'?

The logical answer is, of course, nowhere, as they were not yet required. They were not invented as a typology until the 2000s when the trans movement needed children to validate the sexual fetishes of autogynephiles and make transgenderism palatable for the public.

The other answer is a conspiracy theory. That research showing transchildren existed was suppressed; rather like alien conspiracy theorists talk about Area 51 in Nevada USA.

If we ignore the conspiracy theory, we are left with the answer that no child was trans until the 'transchild' was needed, in the 2000s, to demonstrate the universality of 'gender identity'.

Children, sadly, were the logical choice due to their undeveloped brains/thinking and their vulnerability. It is not hard to persuade children that Santa exists or even that sexual abuse is a normal part of family life. 'Gender identity' can easily be packaged to appeal to the magical thinking of children.

'Transchildren' have thus become the main focus of transgenderism. For the activists know that without the winsome, photogenic 'transchild', groomed to repeat adult phrases about 'gender identity' the movement consists in the main of adult males with a fetish for dressing up as women.

Transgender ideology needs 'transchildren' to survive. It needs them to harm themselves and kill themselves to demonstrate that the ideology is real.

We need to protect our children. And we can start by debunking the idea and existence of the 'transchild'.
And yes transsexualism and transvestitism did exist through history. What is extraordinary is how these historic identities have been erased by the modern blokes who wear dresses and call themselves transwomen.
Where are the transvestites and transsexuals now?
And yes again...
Children experimenting with sex roles and pretending to be the opposite sex is well documented.

This was always historically regarded as a playful phase of experimentation and growing up. It was ignored just as children pretending to be dinosaurs, horses, airplanes etc

What is new is adults stepping into the playful pretences and pathologising them for their own gratification. And insisting that one particular iteration of pretend play is an adult 'gender identity'.

This is child abuse.

🧵When you see how trans/gender identity ideology has reshaped the political discourse, medicine, civic structures, the education/ safeguarding of children, & removed rights from women....

It is hard to sustain the argument that the trans community is uniquely oppressed. /1
Rather, this is the most entitled, pampered social "justice" movement that has ever existed.

Hardly surprising, perhaps, as the chief beneficiaries of this movement are already entitled bourgeois middle age men.

They know how to navigate institutional power structures. /2
They have a sexual fetish to normalise - autogynephilia- and they have the power to achieve their aim.

They have co-opted gay and women's rights into their cause, and now use their newest fabrication - 'trans' children - to provide camouflage and protection. /3

Hypothesis 🧵
The level of acceptance of gender ideology in an 'average' person's beliefs is determined by their:
1. ignorance (or denial) of the subject
2. lack of understanding and experience of how the process of grooming operates and of being a victim of coercive control. 1/
In other words, men and women who lead comfortable well regulated lives, will fail to grasp the enormity of the threat this ideology poses to women and children. They have nothing to compare it to in their current or previous existence. 3/
They will spout platitudes like "be nice" or "be kind." And are very much, to rehash the old quote, the liberals who have as yet to be 'mugged by reality'. They are the Tim Davie's of this world

🧵It is a matter of decades of empirical evidence that children do NOT have an inherent, immutable "gender identity." (Erikson in particular studied identity change in children/adults)

It is thus a matter of faith that children do have a fixed, inherent "gender identity" /1
And because it is a matter of belief/faith, this faith then has to be nurtured/affirmed by adults. Hence gender AFFIRMATIVE "care". (GAC)

This is no more a medical treatment based on evidence, than the affirmation of any other faith/belief.

The aim is not to heal the child./2
Rather, the aim of GAC is to ensure that a child who has been deliberately confused about their "gender identity" (easily done) is unable to move beyond and through that identity crisis (Erikson) and indeed has their identity exploration forclosed (Marcia). /3
