That's the problem and I've been warning of this for YEARS. Just because someone is a feminine boy or a masculine girl doesn't mean they need to transition. Tomboys exist people. I've been one my entire life and yet, I've never felt the need to change my gender and I'm also straight. However, that's the message to young people out there today. If you don't ascribe to the traditional gender stereotypes you must be trans. It's utterly ridiculous and I feel bad for the youth of today getting hit with these messages.

Best comment here. I agree with your observations and assessment. I relate completely.

[@baronesswithabrush1991]

yes, it's been a bad trend for a while now... in the U.S. it seems to me it started happening after 9/11 --- the 90s were very feminist (too much so for the macho higher-ups) and the media began to focus on the phallic. (our 'twin towers' had been destroyed after all, emasculating the entire country one would think, if you judge by how quickly the feminist-style films, songs, tv shows etc got rejected. And out came the Macho stuff, like the 1950s all over again...

[@pennylando3145]

I'm quite troubled by the fact that this isn't just about 'youth' - it's also about children and what they are being taught in school. Via the stories of two of my neighbours whose 10yr old daughters were completely confused and upset by a sex-ed lesson, I'm of the view that these lessons are not necessarily age appropriate. With 30+ children in their class, teachers cannot assess each child for their maturity and readiness to understand the one-size-fits-all information they are required to impart. Nor can they know how each has understood it. They've no idea if a child has left the classroom upset, confused, or with completely the wrong idea. The advice parents used to be given was to answer a child's questions as and when they arose. They were also advised not to go any further than the questions their child was asking - there is just no need to go into a big lecture on sexuality until or unless your child is ready to hear it. Society seems not to be letting children be children any more. A certain ideology seems hell bent on rushing them into the world of straight, gay, lesbian, trans and - heaven help us - drag queens.

Yet another tomboy (53yo) here, but one who was never conventionally attractive as a kid. I was overweight, clumsy (turns out a rare neurological disorder was behind what my father declared were attempts to gain attention) and had a large head. My beautiful mother was horrified by my tomboy ways and disappointing looks, and said as much ad nauseum. When puberty struck I was the only fat kid at my school who didn’t grow boobs. I would have happily put my hand up for transitioning in those days: a tomboy with an active dislike for any “girly” things (boys have more fun), an upbringing based on 1950s gender roles (1970 in Tasmania was like 1950 anywhere else), a failed daughter who was the ugly duckling in a good-looking family where my brothers were worshipped … rather than fail as a woman, why not become a man? At least men don’t get bullied for being ugly. That was me. I “got used to myself” in my 20s and just learned to accept that I was always going to be one of those chicks who wanted to be part of the mosh pit in my jeans, t-shirt and Converse, and that was OK. Imagine my surprise when in my early 40s I turned into a stereotypical girl and decided I liked floral dresses and cute handbags! Just not in the mosh pit. 😂 All of life is a journey, and not an autobahn one either. More like a dirt road with poor lighting at dusk.

[@taralynnhoffmann5831]

Much of your story sounds like mine (mosh pits to dresses). The part that boys have more fun! That's why I so desperately wanted to be a boy. Girls were boring and petty and as someone with low neuroticism, I couldn't identify with most girls emotional fragility and insecurities. I'm not ugly but also definitely not perfect and none of my flaws bothered me even when people made fun of me. I definitely felt more at home with dudes. But yes, now growing up I do see a completely dysfunctional family setting as perhaps a reason why I had to dress like a boy. My mom drew the line when I wanted to changemy name and wear gonch. Anyway I just went to France with my kids and spent a lot of that time really appreciating the fact that women there wear dresses. I loved their style. Since about 2 years I wear makeup every day and I'm 46. And it feels great. Every time I go into town (BC Canada) I see that most little girls are dressing like boys. I wasn't a princess but after having a daughter who is, I find it sad that these little girls are basocally being robbed of being themselves. I've homeschooled since 2020. My 12 year old won't budge. She's still into glitter and pink and in this society that makes her basically a rebel and I'm proud of her.

So she has osteoporosis in her spine from the puberty blockers. I've actually heard the pro-transing-kids people say "that might happen, but it's a small price to pay!" Well, I too developed spinal osteoporosis when I was 16 as a rare complication of celiac disease. It destroyed my life. I'm now 39 and still can't work, living in poverty, have no friends or relationships, and right now I'm having the best kind of day I can ever experience: I'm only in moderate pain ATM. Half the time I'm in unbearable pain (and holy sh** do I mean unbearable). These people are such blind fanatics that they will not even consider the possibility that anything could be worse than not affirming trans identity. Tell me an 8 year old child is actually qualified to accept that risk with informed consent.

I have read that some indigenous societies used to group pre-adults/pre-teens into same age groups which over a period of years would learn and grown into adults of their society. There would be leader/teacher. Maybe something like this needs to be started. But first and foremost young teens should NOT HAVE SMART PHONES. They should not be able to use the internet without supervision. That access is the starting point of all these issues. Of course, now some American schools actually promote these issues now…

i've never understood why transpeople jump straight to the opposite of the gender binary, going excessively feminine or masculine. I'm exhibit gender variance apparently because I like video games, don't want to get married and don't wear skirts or makeup. I'm 50 next year - if I was born now, would they be telling my parents i was trans? It worries me. I'm lucky, my parents just encouraged me to be independent and equal and to follow my own path as a person. I'm a cis woman, and I am so glad my parents celebrated who I am and not what I "should" be.

[@samanthathompson9812]

Why don't they get angry about the infantilization of women? When I was a teen I was disdainful of dumbing down and becoming what the boys wanted.

[@rvastrik]

It is unlikely that the mothers and grandmothers of young trans curious females all looked like Barbies or the like. Doesn't seem vitally plausible. I am 56 and apart from my mother's 2 girlfriends, all the women I knew in my childhood had short hair and no makeup. In the old days, nobody wore make-up, dresses or long hair in the countryside. Not practical. So strange how these things are relevant nowadays.

[@Demoiselle21]

Pressure has intensified on children/tweens because they are seeing what social "demands" are going to be placed on them the more physically mature they become. Society strikes me as pretty predatory to anyone who is physically or mentally vulnerable, with quite a strong focus on young women in particular. I recently heard someone, l think it was another detransitioner, that males want to be women to get away (in their perception) from the adult male role of protectiveness, and females want to become males because they are experiencing intense vulnerability (or worse) and either want to become male to be able to be more self-protective or to be able to protect others (or both.) This is not saying that anyone can't fulfill those roles, or have those qualities. I wish l could remember who said it, however that was the gist of it. It almost seems like a self-protection reflex to me, and that's why it has gained ground so quickly. There are additional explanations of course. But this is an observation.

Well said. The body and mind aren't always on par. One may race ahead of the other for a time but it's a transition from childhood to adulthood over years and we get there in the end. Unless sidetracked by gender ideology. It usually becomes all encompassing, one's entire identity. If that happens I'd question if one is trying to convince themselves, not truly accepting it's a reality. I'm getting on. We were taught we are our sex but how we express it is neither here nor there, it just is so is always 'right'.

I started getting interest from boys at school, including those who had bullied me and there was apparently complimentary graffiti about my body is the boys toilets. I rejected everyone and was socially awkward (I think I’m a bit autistic) and so rumour got round that I was a lesbian. Had I grown up in the current day, I possibly would have believe there was something different about me and that maybe I wasn’t straight or maybe that I was trans.

I come from a time in the 70s when it was considered normal for men to leer at you, flash you, grope you, whistle at you and all we were told was "Men are beasts, don't meet their eye or they will think that you are asking for it". Predators on trains, predators on building sites, road works, shops, predators in schools, there was no escape. It was absolutely terrifying and I used to so wish I was a boy or invisible to escape from it.

[@kelseysmith3297]

I only hit puberty at 17, highly athletic and fit, and I felt out from a lot of the girls at school some who had started at 11. Honestly, I wasn't mentally prepared at 17, even though I technically knew everything, there is no preparing you for these changes. I started getting noticed by 19/20 by boys and I still hadn't a clue what to do with that attention. I cannot fathom how all of that must feel for young girls. And it is heartbreaking that we are supplying solutions to further hurt them and their futures instead of building and supporting them. This hasn't been a ground breaking conversation, this has been a really incredible human conversation. Thank you both.

exactly what i was thinking

[@user-nh3pe2su5m]

It’s interesting when I think of my own life, I felt very comfortable to be a female. But I was forced to cut my beautiful golden blonde hair to a pixie cut which I found very distressing. But yet I wasn’t allowed to wear jeans like my girlfriends, but I played sports because it was a cheap form of entertainment? For my parents. So I was getting all kinds of mixed messages from my mother. I wasn’t allowed to discuss my period. It was “dirty” yet it made me feel proud to be a women. I was bullied that I was gay but I wasn’t. I worked 3 jobs to be able to look and feel feminine, but my mother was always thwarting my attempts to so. I was a girly girl but my mum didn’t see it. I made my own dresses because she wouldn’t purchase them. I really don’t know what was in this Scottish born woman’s mind. So I became disillusioned with my looks and never considered myself pretty. She was always berating me, close your mouth, it’s hanging open, stop slouching, on and on. I’m still a girly girl but I’ve had depression and anxiety since I was 17. And I’m 67 now. She destroyed my sense of self and confidence. Interestingly enough my brother the middle child, was the golden boy, and could do no wrong. Even through all her threats, yelling and non encouragement I still felt I was a woman. If she was trying to take that away from me she was unable. I find it fascinating that our upbringings can be so varied but so are the outcomes. Thank you Andrew, you guest is a sweet beautiful person!

[@sarasamson5922]

As a girl in the 1970s, I started puberty at 8-9 years old. (I wasn't especially overweight but I was very stressed with very stressed parents.) I was also in very religious schools, being indoctrinated at what being a woman meant, at an age when I wasn't done being a girl. I didn't want to be a woman, or a boy, either. I just wanted out of my body and surroundings. So I gave myself puberty blockers the old-fashioned way, anorexia and then bulimia. It worked for me and became a lifelong temptation when under major stress. I've never wanted children so infertility was never a motivator. Hormone replacement and birth control pills gave me mood swings so I stopped. I've adopted a healthy food plan and mental / emotional / spiritual health tools that have gotten me out from under early abuse and neglect (some self-induced). But I have an abnormally low heart rate and blood pressure, bone thinning and low grade depression. These are signs of low or deficient hormones. Still, I am grateful that I wasn't a child now, being fast-tracked to surgery and unhelpful 'gender affirming care'. I don't know if I'd have made it to age 59.

Exposing children (which is what introducing them to trans ideology is doing) before they are ready is only confusing them.

[@beverlyanne5192]

I was 11 yrs old when men started looking at me in a sexualising manner. I was size 14 and the attention l received was inappropriate and unwanted. I was scared these teenagers/men.l believed they were going to hurt me​. Infact l was sexually assaulted, groped..it was not nice @clairegresswell

I remember i started developing when i was about 8yrs old, it freaked me out so i stopped eating thinking that my body would just eat my boobs and it did for a while. When i was about 9 and a half i started eating normally again and just before my 10th birthday i got my first period. If someone would've asked me back then if i felt like i was a body i would've said not at all. But with this new 'society' of adults manipulating children into thinking that they are trans with all of this like, girl saying 'i don't want boobs' to the teacher having a paranoid lightbulb moment and calling the kid to a quieter(one-on-one is always uncomfy for a kid) place to ask all sorts of leading questions about trans-ness, and the kid would know that society and this teacher seems to expect that from you to give-into that ideology, and all because you were afraid of growing breasts. Like why can't the adults just teach these girls that life is ever changing, and it can be scary, but you can't control everything and you just have to move forward and go with the flow sometimes, that it's not actually that bad. It's just such a shame.

I was born in the early sixties and started puberty at 12. I was extremely shy and remember being so uncomfortable and self conscious with the changes to my body. I also remember being whistled at which I found so embarrassing BUT I truly believe that along with growing up and life experience it actually made me more resilient and eventually it no longer bothered me. I think nowadays there is so much influence from social media and also by I think, an obsession to try and prove that men and women are equal! We are not we are DIFFERENT, neither being better than the other. This trans movement is not only ‘cancelling’ women’s voices but also the voices of ‘LGB’ and it needs to stop!

[@Nous520]

I can’t with this pretend “you only see my body and not my achievements” it’s not that. It’s the sudden awakening to your attractiveness to others and feeling like you’ll never be beautiful enough or sexually attractive enough compared to the fake bodies of celebrities. It’s the pressure of feeling like your body will fail you and so instead of being an ugly woman, they opt to be a fake man - if they fail at being a man it’s less painful because their natural body wasn’t meant to be one and so they don’t feel burdened by the pressure of being the perfect male.

[@cristina8868]

It would appear that this lovely girl was heavily influenced by, predominantly Hollywood inspired, gender stereotypes. Men also feel fear and are not always brave. In fact, these characteristics are held by both men and women. They manifest, often at different times in a person's life and at varying intensity. You are allowed to be interested in sports and traditionally male interests as a woman. Also, not all women are obsessed with having a baby. This message needs to be given to girls more robustly. Being heterosexual is predominant but, attraction to the same sex as yourself is also okay. The decision to have medical intervention, is the last avenue to explore. This is because of the many problems that come with that territory. Fully interrogate all the feelings the person has, before deciding on so radical a course of action. That applies to professionals involved as well as the individual.

[@FocusedFighter777]

I never wanted to dress up unless for major events. I wasn’t a boy but I didn’t feel stereotypically girlish. Someone told me when I said that it sounds like I have a bad perspective of what girls are supposed to be. I thought of my love of Greek mythology.
