I’ve seen multiple stories where a girl who was previously very feminine has come out as trans or non-binary and insisted they were always like that - which their parents deny. They’re confused that their My Little Pony-loving, princess costume-dressing 8-year-old is now 14 and claiming she’s always been a tomboy.
Tranitrons (my word for activists/TRAs) insist this is because the parent is so “bigoted” that their child had to be a closet tomboy. “They always were that way becuause they weren’t comfortable with telling YOU.” “You forced them/him to like girly stuff.”
Two types of people say this. The first are the tranitrons who deny they’re an insidious cult. The others are far-lefties who are going along with this nonsense because it’s makes them look righteous. It’s something they can be pompous about. They’re usually middle class.
Us “TERFs” know the truth about why girly girls revise their life story and become “boys”. Ijust want to clarify here, that none of this post relates to girls who transition because they’re lesbians or autistic. They’re a whole different angle. This is about suggestible (and possibly slightly dim) girls who have spent too much time online and convinced themsevles that they’re boys after reading trans cult nonsense. And it’s also about what the cult tell kids to say so they can obtain cross-sex hormones.
In the past, a girl rejecting the girly toys and clothes of her youth was normal. It’s growing up, finding yourself, rebelling against your child self. I did it, my cousin did it. We decided for a while that we hated pink and it’s association with the hyperfeminine girls we didn’t get along with in school. The most popular girls are feminine. They rejected us - even bullied us. Becoming alternative was part of that rebellion. It’s normal.
Nowadays, the teenage female pink-rejection phase hasn’t just been pathologised by trans cult parents, but the girls themselves are groomed into the belief that it makes them trans. I used to use Tumblr. I witnessed it happening in real time. Most people weren’t aware this shit was happening on there. For perspective, I was on Tumblr between 2009 and 2019 and always felt too old to be there - I was in my early 20s to early 30s while most people were 13-20. I watched confused teenagers being indoctrinated into the trans cult, and trans people inserted themselves everywhere and dominated all discourse. Whether you were there for history content, classic rock or gaming, trans people dominated it. It was all about them and their body modifications, language rules, porn and paedophilia. And finally, they shared advice on how to transition, including what to say to doctors to obtain cross-sex hormones.
If I - in my 20s/30s - felt too old to be on there, then it’s likely that people in the 40s and 50s didn’t have accounts when this was going on. So when I see all these do-gooder, trans-supporting, middle-aged, middle-class parents denying there’s a cult that was recruiting kids, they’re speaking from pure ignorance.
Tumblr had a culture, that I won’t go into in depth about here. In short, memes and language rules started on there between 5-10 years before they went mainstream. Middle aged people would share jokes on Facebook that had been viral on Tumblr 5 years earlier. So, by the time wokeness and Stonewall rules arrived in the civil service or our institutions, say, six years ago, that stuff was already mainstream in Tumblr culture back in 2012. In 2012, universities were still normal. Blue-haired people were a minority (I was one of five people with weird hair). Tumblr was where you went to meet the woke activists. Now those blue-haired woke teen Tumblr activists are adults who control public policy and why there’s been an explosion in trans-identifying girls.
Back to my point about feminine children insisting they were always tomboys after being on the internet too much: you think you’re supporting something progressive. You think you’re “On ThE rIgHt SiDe Of HiStOrY.” But you’re actually completely ignorant of an underground culture that dominated the previous decade with origins on a ‘harmless’ dark blue website people’s children joined because she liked old rock or gaming or history memes, that vacuumed up people’s daughters who didn’t fit in. You can tell it’s a social contagion because a lot of trans-identified people have the same backstory. They’re coached to say those lines on Tumblr (and the rest).
I’ve seen people say that TERFs aren’t educated on trans issues and don’t understand. Well this one does. If you weren’t on Tumblr in the 2010s, you’re the ignorant ones.
