"Mary" or any other boy/male will never know if he eventually feels like a real girl because someone with a male body can have no idea what it feels like to have a female body. We know from adult males with the sexual fetish of autogynephillia that they make assumptions about "what a woman feels" and what a woman is "supposed to" enjoy feeling like, most notably that women enjoy being passive, receptive sex objects for dominant males, and even like to be humiliated. A young boy with no experience with sexual arousal would not think in these terms. When a boy says he believes that he is "really" a girl, he needs to be asked exactly what makes him think that he is a girl? His preference for girls' clothing? The toys girls tend to play with? Does he think that he will enjoy having breasts or having babies as women do? Does he want to be a stay-at-home parent as his mother might be, rather than a go-to-work father? ?????

Great article. You are correct in the things you say, and Canada as a country will eventually catch up to reality and honesty, but not before more children are harmed. Sadly.

The lack of informed consent is the central reason for the need of a systemic review. But, of course, because every systemic review internationally finds the evidence used to promote and defend gender medicine to be either of low or very low quality, we mustn't carry one out in Canada or the mandated affirmation only policies might lead to lawsuits!

IMO: It is a mistake to count shares as being from people who agree with a post. Many share posts which they vehemently disagree with so that as many people as possible can become better informed about the ridiculous and/or horrific things which are described in the post.

May be true up to a point but most people who disagree with a post will use a quote tweet to express their view. There are also people who quote tweet posts they like with comments like "Great thread." The same is true of comments. If there is a small number of comments, most of them are likely supportive. However, when the numbers get higher the majority of comments tend to be negative. That was certainly the case with this post. I was unable to find a single supportive comment.

I think that two huge mistakes were made.

One, believing the lie that 40+% of “trans” kids attempt or commit suicide. What a wicked thing to saddle parents with given it is not true.

Two, in attempting to be kind, so many people gave into stepping into another person’s fantasy world, not realizing that part of the goal is to get everybody to play make believe.

I pray we can recover from this, but in the meantime be aware of other things based on manipulation and preying on one’s kindness.
