My cousin is 14, born a female and now "out" as a ftm transgender. It's honestly a sad story. She knows I'm conservative but we talked about it for a while and why she wants to be a boy.
She said puberty was uncomfortable and she hated getting her period. She's always been athletic so she didn't like that boys got stronger and better at sports than her as she got older. "It feels like no matter how hard I try as a girl I'll never be as good so nothing is worth it." - her words. She said she thought girly stuff was stupid and never really liked it, and that she was afraid of being sexualized as she got older. She said she thinks she's trans because all her friends are boys and she never liked wearing dresses and stuff.
Interestingly enough, she's actually kind of conservative for her age on a lot of issues. She's made fun of Biden before and likes hunting and fishing and stuff. She likes Trump.
Just thought I'd offer a first person account I guess. It's a sad story.
She’s not a trans kid, she’s a confused kid. Our world is playing on that confusion 😢
Every child hates puberty - both boys and girls. It’s a hard part of life, and no girl that age wants to be sexualized.
She really needs to watch “What is a woman” by Matt Walsh…what she’s being led to believe is dangerous!
I have to plug this amazing amazing book that tackles the subject of the the Matt Walsh movie. It is dense and exhaustive and I wouldn't have finished it if not for audiobooks. But it is for really getting answers and understanding history and concepts of cultural movements and how we define ourselves as individuals as well as a collective. And like I said, it is a very scholarly and high minded good faith attempt at explaining how and why we got here, asking that very question. What is a woman? How is it that people even understand the question at all? He explains. The author is a Christian academic. Very conservative.
Oh yeah. Lol. The book. Here
