The mother initially accepts her son’s interests, with the not unreasonable assumption that he might be gay.

The father puts his foot down and won’t have it. This causes marital friction.

The couple go to counselling, in a context where the kid’s interests are a battleground.

The parents agree (Susie under duress) to throw away girl toys, calling them inappropriate. This causes their son upset, and to be secretive about his normal interests.

When this comes to a head and Susie realised that the four -six year old won’t suddenly develop “boy” interests, her next step is not “I need to make it clear that being a boy is no barrier to his interests”, but is to take him to a GP. At which point, “this boy is effeminate and may be gay” is never again seen as a potential explanation, despite 85% of children with dysphoria growing out of it as they go through puberty.

The child was then given sex change surgery in Thailand because it’s illegal here at 16, and as a result will have no potential of having children, and little chance of a healthy sex life (Green is on tape joking about how little the doctors had to work with when fashioning her son’s pre-pubescent penis into the shape of a vagina)

If you read this in the context of the Tavistock scandal, where whistleblowers - many gay - have said that Mermaids are effectively medicalising gender non conforming kids who would grow up to be gay, I think the issue is clear

Thank you for the explanation. I get all of that.

That's not totally how she told the story though. She made it clear that it was the child driving this. (For what it's worth, I don't buy the 'My 4 year old said God has made a mistake' line, that just didn't happen. So I don't know how reliable the rest of her recollection is).

CEB wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 2:45 pm For a start your stats are way off and likely based a skewed self selection - if they’re not, feel free to link to where you got that figure from.

Secondly, what do you think the apparent suicide attempt says, other than “this child is in terrible distress”?

Hardly the same as
" Mummy Gods put me in the wrong body " .
I know you think your knowledge is good
But without living inside the head of a trans child
You can only Imagine I'd Guess at best .

Havent got a clue why the child attempted suicide .
Possibly the split up of her/his parents because
Of whatever was going on inside the child .


Here are some of the suicide sites i quickly googled
I have little knowledge but am aware its quite high .

Got it

I already see you haven’t looked past the headline on any of those.

CEB wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 3:06 pm Your 32% stat seems to be from a survey in India, which doesn’t seem very robust, and I’m not even sure what point you’re making, since I’ve already acknowledged Jack’s distress.

Are you aware of Samaritans guidelines about speculation about causes of suicide? Or do you not look at Samaritans stuff, what with being resourceful?

CEB wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 3:13 pm “Across the countries”

Which countries? Ranges from 32% to 50%? Wow! What factors might account for that difference? What percentage of attempts are successful? What was the methodology? Was it applied uniformly? Who was surveyed? Were the surveys opt-in?

Weaponising suicide is a scummy thing to do. I wouldn’t do it to back up my position unless I was very sure of what I was talking about. You are not.

CEB wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 2:55 pm Actually tuffers, scratch that. Maybe the kid just wasn’t resourceful enough?

What was the Reason you decided to leave out the Childs attempted Suicide while castigating his Mother ?

CEB wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 3:19 pm Got it; India sent a rocket into space, therefore anything they say about suicide is obviously meaningful and robust.

While you’re here, can you point me in the direction of the statistics for suicide by young trans people?

Once again, I don’t have any doubt whatsoever that a cohort of young people with mental illnesses and other Co-morbidities, as well as family problems may well be at risk of depression , self harm and suicide. It’s just unclear that you have any idea as to what you’re discussing and why.

Quite simple - I could, when discussing an apparent attempted suicide, have framed it as further condemnation (mostly of the father - I don’t blame Susie Green for being bullied by a homophobe, though i do blame her for transposing her experience into a homophobic charity detrimental to gay kids) but decided not to, as the suicide attempt isn’t for me to speculate about and could be seen either as the result of intolerable distress at “actually being trans and needing intervention” or from the pressure of being at the centre of a nasty familial dispute in which his personality is a major, ongoing conflict and he’s denied the chance to enjoy his most innocuous interests.

You’re digging very hard to find a problem with my position on this, but you’re not doing very well. You’re assuming bad faith that just isn’t there.

If however, you’re all aboard for taking suicidal16 year old boys to Thailand to have their penises mutilated, knock yourself out
