Again, it begs the question "are we comfortable saddling children with the responsibility for decisions that will impact them the rest of their lives?" And I would remind parents that "it's not you who has to live in that body, it's your kid" and "no amount of affirmation is going to keep them from the inevitable doubt and self-examination we all experience in life" and when that happens "will they have the tools to deal with it?" And "what will you say to them if they ask you 'why did you allow this to happen?"

It’s not uncommon for paedophiles to try & justify what they do or want to do to children as being what they “would have loved to have happened” to them at the same age. (It’s clearly a ret-con & a self-justification).

It seems to be similar for trans-identified men.

Though much of the adulation & some of the pressure for transing kids obviously comes from women.

It might be worth investigating how encouraging transing in children may fit in terms of the predominantly female pathology of "collecting defenseless creatures in need" aka animal hoarding. Feels to me like a very similar instinct. :/

A trans child is exactly like a vegan cat.

We all know who decided to be vegan and it wasn't the cat.

“Trans kids” give adults a second chance to live out the promise of transition." Per usual, brilliant and timely in this moment. Eliza, thank you for keeping your Substack free to all, and allowing comments too. Writing Behavior is one of the very best ones of the many about gender ideology (maybe even the best) and I so appreciate how much you contribute to the conversation.

This is an excellent explanation of why the sacrifice of children is necessary in this cult. Another reason is that the adults, primarily auto-gynephiles, who form the bulk of trans rights activists, do not want people to pay attention to their sexual fetishes as the driver they are for their trans identification. They draw focus away from their paraphilia by creating the idea of an innate "gender identity," rooting, or creating, it in pre-sexual individuals, i.e. children. If their trans identification comes from infancy, it can't be just a sexual paraphilia or fetish. This furthers their paraphilic fulfillment. It's not just "transhausen by proxy," although that is an excellent bon mot; it's ritualized sacrifice of children's sexual future for the sake of their own sexual present.

The breathtaking level of narcissism that permeates the whole of the trans movement is never more obvious than in their eagerness to inflict a life of medical misery upon innocent children, just to put that sweet child's face as a mask over the ugliness of autogynephilia, sissy fetishes, and cross-dressing hetero predators. It's time to light this Trojan horse on fire.
