TransGender Children

Should not be a thing I am sorry

Now I am a huge fan of Blaire White. I have watched almost all of her videos, minus some of her early work and I can truthfully say I agree with her on many stances, Including her stance on Transgender children.

The first thing mentioned in the video is the Canadian “Genderless” baby.

Real quick I would like to speak on this. This right here, Is grounds for confusion. Before the baby can even talk, you are altering their identity because of how you feel.

Like Blaire states, Gender non conformity is a natural thing and should not be influenced by outside sources, parents included. Many children show small signs of gender non conformity, but the fact that your son like playing with barbies or that your daughter prefers sports,does not mean they are possibly transgender.

Now the video. The video that Blaire is criticizing is an interview with the world’s youngest Transgender.

With the first question, You can already tell, the child is not going to say much in this video.

The first question asked by the interviewer was stated as follow:

“So you are a transgender boy. Do you know what that means?”

Right off the bat, the boy(girl?) is labeled. I personally would have asked the child to tell me about themselves, I would let them tell me if they are Transgender. Next, the mother(Father?) proceeds to answer the question for him saying that “he” was born a girl but feels like a boy, asking him if he likes to do “quiet girly things” or “Fun boy things” word after word sentence after sentence, you can tell the parents already have a course of action planned out, stating they were going to be very proactive and they haven’t even gone to a psychologist to confirm anything.

Now we unfortunately, do not get to see the whole interview,since the video has been removed but based on this I can come to an opinion.

These parents are trying to influence the lives of their children to much. Your daughter could be a tomboy for all you know.

I was a tomboy and I was better than a lot of the boys. I rather bike and run around, then sit and play with my dolls. I would rather play video games, than play with make up. I even like sweats and boys clothes more than girls simply for comfort when playing around. They were even times I had told them I felt like I should have been born a boy because of how I was.

But my parents never thought I was trans.

And if they did think something along those lines, They never encouraged it nor did they discouraged it.

As a parent, it is your teach your children. When they are young, like this child in the video, They are very susceptible.

You shouldn’t be teaching your child at 5 years old, that they might be girl who was born a boy. Children don’t understand things like that at an early age. They don’t understand the biological differences men and woman have. They don’t understand what it means to be trans or to transition. They don’t know how their body is going to be affected by the choices you are making for them.

I am not against teaching about Trans people or gender whatever to certain ages.

But when it comes to “Trans Children”, parents need to back the fuck up and let your kid be a kid.
