The fucked up thing is this is *far* from the worst thing I've seen said about trans kids by so-called "gender-critcal" people. When Brianna Ghey died a lot of them set about trying portray her, a child murder victim, as a pervert.

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.
They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition.
Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

Out of the last four Prime Ministers three have had to pretend they didn’t know about something (Starmer twice). Yet the only one who didn’t - Liz Truss - was probably the only one who could *credibly* have done that.
Starmer is now claiming he didn't know his close advisor of many years was harassing journalists.
Maybe it is time he also admits he doesn't know anything about trans kids and listens to trans people about his puberty-blocker ban, social transition ban and other transphobic measures.

It's also just not evident based. For all the evidence Cass had tried to amass, this speculation that kids who might have ceased being trans are being frozen in time rather than helped to develop their growing minds, identity and agency by exploring and expressing it actively has zero evidence.
Pure moral panic. How, precisely, would a child who experiments with a different haircut or pronouns get “locked in” to a trans identity?
The parents who had no problem letting her identify as trans suddenly restrict her from identifying as cis? It makes no sense.

Given some of the stuff in the Epstein files, the bonus for the Predator Elite of making trans lives really difficult is that, while some trans kids will kill themselves, others will just accept sexual availability/ servitude as the price paid for being able to transition at all.
Cass acknowledges "There are a tiny number of people who will never be comfortable with their biological sex, with the gender associated with their biological sex.
"And for them, a medical pathway is the only way they're going to live their life comfortably. And we don't understand why that is"

@aoc.bsky.social in the Whitehouse would be a the greatest gift for the world and for every American.
from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring
You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.
