In 2015, the story of five year old ‘trans kid’🏳️‍⚧️ Jacob Lemay went viral 🧵

This thread is an analysis of the Lemay’s first public interview.

This ‘trans kid’ story shows that instead of diagnosing girls with autism, adults transition them.

Jacob, born Mia, was one of three girls born to the Lemay family.

By the age of 5, her parents had already decided to allow their daughter to transition & to live as a boy.

Their story went viral after Jacob’s mom Mimi, published an open letter to her child.

In this clip, the Lemay parents reflect on the signs of ‘transgender identity’ in their toddler Mia.

Mia was a child who changed her clothes constantly, sometimes 12 times a day- until she was gifted a ‘doggy sweater’ which she refused to take off for 6 months.

3
Image
The Lemay family retrospectively interpreted their toddler’s obsession of changing her clothes constantly, as their daughter’s attempt to “dispel a sense of discomfort with her image”.

These ‘clues’ were later used as proof of the child’s ‘innate’ trans identity.

4
Image
In this clip, the girl’s parents discussed that their tomboy daughter didn’t ’quite fit in with the girls or with the boys’.

Her mother Mimi discusses how her child withdrew socially & wouldn’t ’look people in the face’ when they talked to her.

5
Image
When these parents describe their daughter’s compulsive need to change her clothes, her obsession with one specific sweater & her inability to engage in eye contact- as signs of discomfort with her female identity,

I can’t help but to notice these as possible signs of autism.

Image
Image
Mia’s mom Mimi describes how her daughter’s obsessive rituals around clothing were followed by an ‘insistent, consistent & persistent’ request to be treated as a boy.

Mimi says that these are traits of a possibly transgender child.

In reality, these are traits of autism.

7
Image
The mother of the now “trans child” describes being distressed by the potential implications of her daughter’s obsession with being a boy.

Gender nonconformity & narrow hyper-fixations are traits of autism. These traits are falsely attributed to an inner ‘male identity’.

8
Image
In the cases of many “trans children” there is often a nonconforming child & a well-meaning, neurotic parent who becomes distressed by their child’s differences.

Then- there’s a catalyst- a major life event which causes a parent to actively pursue their child’s transition.

9
Image
Before she transitioned her daughter, Mia’s mother Mimi discusses a how a narrowly avoided collision caused her to make up her mind about transitioning her daughter.

Then she buys a Prince Charming costume for her daughter, who gets praised by others for being ‘handsome’.

10
Image
In this clip, the parents discussed their daughter’s joy at being complimented for how handsome she looked in the Prince Charming costume.

The parents arrive at the conclusion that being perceived as a boy is what made their daughter happy. In reality, kids thrive on praise.

11
Image
In this clip, the parents discuss showing their tomboy daughter a video of a “trans kid” named Ryland.

Mia’s parents asked her if she too would like to become a boy.

Mia didn’t organically come to see herself as a boy- this idea was planted into her mind by adults.

12
Image
Mia’s mother Mimi, reports that her daughter thrived after transitioning; she began to engage in eye contact & developed friendships.

The mom concludes that ‘being Jacob’ really suited her daughter.

One wonders why the girl had to ‘live as a boy’ to do what made her happy.

13
Image
Image
The story of “trans kid” Jacob Lemay begs the following question:

Why were adults so quick to ascribe a transgender identity to a tomboy with a preponderance of autistic traits, instead of getting her evaluated & treated for her developmental delays?

14 Image
Image
Image
Image
Adults ascribe transgender identities to non-conforming children, because they aren’t provided the correct frameworks to help them understand their child.

Instead of seeing autistic traits in their daughter, the Lemay’s saw a boy ‘trapped’ in their daughter’s body.

15 Image

There is much to be learned from the story of Jacob Lemay & her family:

We have learned that in this current cultural moment, instead of screening girls for autism- we transition them.

We have learned that sex non-conformity in kids still causes distress for their parents.

16 Image
Image
Image
Image
In our next thread, we will look into how Jacob herself has rationalized her transition ‘into a boy’.

This thread however is aimed at highlighting the perspectives of the parents.

Parents who feel incapable of understanding their kids are told to seek advice from ‘experts’

17 Image
Image
Image
Image
Behind every trans activist parent is a well-meaning parent who was lied to by the “experts”.

This little girl was transitioned because the “experts” saw a her intense obsession with becoming a boy as a sign that she *is* a boy- rather than seeing it as a trait of autism.

At Restore Childhood, we understand that political agendas have captured the ‘experts’ of institutions which are supposed to protect our kids.

We’ve developed a free toolkit so that parents can become their own experts.

Transgender ideology has been increasingly described as a new religious movement.

In this thread we’ll look into this new religion by checking in on“trans kid”Jacob Lemay & on her devout family.

This story is SHOCKING.🧵

In a video taken of ‘trans kid’ Jacob Lemay, then aged 5, the girl is described as being ‘fierce’. She loved karate, dogs, spaceships & playing with her sisters.

The 5 year old said that she ‘used to be a sister’ but ‘turned into a brother’ because she ‘wanted to be a boy’.

2
Image
What made this girl think that she’s a boy?

The little girl is highly intellectually gifted.

By age 4, Mia could already write her name. But she’d immediately scribble it out.

The girl wanted to write her name as ‘J-A-C-O-B’ instead.

She also wanted a boy’s haircut.

🧵 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”

2
Image
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’?

🧵Here is the story of 7 year old Lily, who was filmed in 2017 because she *really* wanted to be a boy.

Her mom Vanessa, wanted Lily to explore herself through clothes & hobbies without labeling her child as “transgender”.

You may be surprised by where Lily is today.

Image
At the age of 7, Lily Nichols was more than ‘a little tomboyish’ but she also wasn’t cross-sex identified.

Though Lily was unaware of the term “transgender,” the 7 year old was told that at an older age, she could take drugs & surgeries to ‘transform’ into a boy.

2

Image
The little girl’s mom worried about how her gender non-conforming daughter would be treated by others.

In 2017, the mother believed that the line between a child being ‘transgender’ & ‘just confused’ was too imprecise to justify labeling her 7 year old daughter as “trans”.

🧵 Here is a tale of two boys who loved to dress up:
Written by @thepeacepoet99

The boy on the left, named Styles, loved Spider-Man so much that he thought he was Spider-Man.

The boy on the right, named Jaron, loved princess dresses so much that he thought he was a girl.

1
Image
Image
Little Styles, was playing outside & wearing his beloved Spider-Man costume, when he was hit by a car in front of his home.

The seven year old believed that his Spider-Man suit made him become ‘Spider-Man’, & gave him the ‘superpower’ to jump out of the way of the car.

2

Image
The older sister of the little boy who thought he was Spider-Man, agrees that the boy’s ’Spider-Man’ powers allowed him to save himself from being hit by the car.

She credits his survival to his vivid imagination. She does not, however, think that he is *literally* Spider-Man

🧵The manifesto of Nashville shooter, Audrey Hale, was released today.

Hale’s story showcases how woke institutions fail the vulnerable & mentally ill individuals they claim to protect.

Here’s a thread written by @thepeacepoet99 on what can be learned from this tragedy.

1
Image
Image
Hale was a vulnerable young person with clear, significant mental health challenges. The writings in her journal alone, not to mention her brutal & murderous actions- are a testament to this fact.

She describes functioning at a low level & struggling to get out of bed.

2 Image
Reading her diary, it is clear that Hale was a deeply disturbed, anxious & mentally ill young woman.

She had deep shame around being a lesbian, which she assimilated through the lens ‘gender identity’-of being a boy without the adequate ‘parts’ needed to engage with women.

🧵In this video, a woman who identifies as nonbinary instructs teachers on how to lie to parents about their child attending an LGBTQ club.

Here’s what parents need to know:

SPOILER: These LGBTQ clubs are NOT like the ‘gay- straight alliances’ you may have grown up with.

1
These LGBTQ clubs are not the gay-straight alliances (GSA’s) of the past, which were aimed at providing gay & lesbian high schoolers a group of supportive peers- under guidance of a teacher.

They are now, student-lead groups which indoctrinate kids into gender questioning.

2
Students who arrive at today’s LGBTQ clubs are immediately asked their pronouns, and provided with a long list of potential gender identities.

These clubs are the perfect breeding ground for the trans social contagion.
