An addendum to my piece for Genspect about what kids learn about doubt online. To briefly rehash: Ever felt “a sense of misalignment, disconnect, or estrangement from your own emotions”? How about “knowing you’re somehow different from everyone else, and wishing you could be normal like them”? Did you experience “a notable escalation in the severity of these symptoms during puberty”?
“It’s not a phase.” As if nothing about being a young person is a phase, when *everything* about being a young person is--actually--a phase. Phases are not inherently bad or good, just processes as we grow and change. But trans ideology requires identity to be immutable--not a phase.
All of this recruitment language, together with tiktok shorts of the euphoria after each step, are what cult deprogrammers call ritual conditioning and manipulation. My 33 year old husband, father of our 2 little sons, told me that our marriage had not all been a lie, because he "didn't feel this way all the time." I am sure he didn't go to his non-certified groomer and his PhD "sexologist" saying those same sentiments. His holy grail was the letters to take to the surgeons, and bringing up a time when he felt "just like everyone else" would not further that quest. Thanks for bringing this to the surface. Doubts are common. In the "Blanchard Protocols" of the two years of cross-dressing prior to surgeries, the goal, from my perspective, was to sweep any qualms under the rug. The fact that the ex-wives have never been surveyed, studied or interviewed in an programatic way demonstrates the focus of the diagnosing "therapists" on getting their patients to the holy grail, so they can recruit more new blood into the movement. We all know the recruitment by recently transitioned, during their euphoric cycle.
Damn do these all sound like the stranger in the white van handing out “candy”. Once you start to get old lady advertising, you will see the flip side of HRT pushing and testosterone pellets.
The Vajenda substack is a good source for an OB/gYM breaking all the misleading snd false advertising down.
Thank you for unearthing and sharing these thoughts that can be read as a pattern and that can easily lure in a very open minded person, especially a very young one. I am old now, and grateful! that I am so....
Discouraging and suppressing doubt seems to be a theme. It makes me think of my experience with religion and in certain relationships in which my questions were discouraged or punished in favor of unquestioning acceptance. How "authentic" can you be if there's no room for your doubts or questions?
"An activity you can do is make lists, like pro/con lists, but for female/male. What signs do you have that you're female? What signs do you have that you're male?"

Hard core marketing psychology.
Sweets/candy at the checkout,
But the sweet/candy packets talk personally directly in a dystopian 5g recognition.
Baud rate bullying.
"Don't take my word for it, google it".... Says it all. In Google we trust.

ICYMI, a study you might have some interest in:
"Large study on hormone therapy for transgender youth provides reassurance amid treatment politicization"

That kids might feel better in the short term might not be much consolation in the longer one.
