Im adding myself to the growing list of women who are revealing being a tomboy as a child, and a feminine straight woman today. To think that my former 10 year old self would today be labelled as a trans child is terrifying. Leave kids alone.
devil_in_the_details @dev_deets @Emmyjewel You wouldn't have been labeled "trans" unless you were insistent, persistent, and consistent saying you were a boy. Tomboys are still around, and no one is saying they're trans. No one can tell you who you are, and as we believe you now, we should believe kids about who they are.
Emmy Jewel has no idea what she’s talking about, and it shows. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
Nobody is looking at a child’s behavior and deciding the child is trans.
Trans kids often have to beg and plead to be taken seriously by their parents, and the parents will try EVERYTHING ELSE before believing them, if they ever do. Even when the parents do believe it and start advocating, the child still has to convince at least two medical professionals without the parent present before they’ll be allowed puberty blockers. Reactionaries really have no idea how hard it is to get trans care.
No one is transing kids!! It doesn’t happen!
