“Is the person a child or is the person adult-like? Does the person have a certain type of cognition, morality to make such a choice?”
-Convicted sex trafficker and cult leader Keith Raniere
A short catalogue of nonsensical axioms justifying transition of gender dysphoric children:
1. Trans women are women, yet the trans child is not a child, but rather a sage with perfect understanding and precognition.
2. Gender is a social construct, yet the child’s gender identity arises independent of any social influence.
3. Gender identity is fluid, yet the child’s gender identity is immutable.
4. Gender is non-binary, yet the child is either cis or trans.
5. The body is irrelevant to gender identity, yet the child’s body must be chemically and surgically altered to match the child’s gender identity.
6. Gender non-conformity should be celebrated, yet the child’s body must conform to the child’s gender expression.
7. A child cannot consent to sexual activity with an adult, yet the child can consent to the destruction of healthy sexual organs by an adult.
8. Children who identify as trans are at high risk of suicide, yet the child must be identified as trans to prevent suicide.
