Children & adolescents tend to use scripted words, phrases, and ideas when they first claim and proclaim a “gender identity”

Parents are often informed that their child feels he or she is the opposite sex, both sexes, no sex at all or some other perceived “gender” with a note on a pillow or under a door, through an announcement with unfamiliar words & dialect and often on a special occasion.

Parents often hear one or more of these elements of the “trans script”:

  • I have always felt this way
  • I have known since I was 3, 4, 5…
  • I am a boy/girl/neither/both deep down inside and I always have been
  • I know who I am, I am the only one who truly knows who I am
  • I used to lay in bed at night and pray to wake up as a girl/boy
  • I used to ALWAYS play with boy/girl toys & I ALWAYS played a boy/girl character in games, you just didn’t notice
  • That was my childhood experience, you just don’t remember
  • It is cruel and criminal not to use my preferred name and pronouns, you’re not allowed to ‘misgender me.
  • Using my “dead-name” me (a popular term used to describe a captured child’s real name) is a violent act
  • If you don’t accept my identity, you are not supporting me
  • If you don’t accept my identity, I will hurt myself
  • If you don’t accept my identity, you don’t love me
  • This has nothing to do with my [2, 3, 4…] trans-identifying friends
  • I’m going to need to be called “_” from now on and referred to as he/she/they & him/her/them at all times; you are not allowed to “misgender” or “dead-name” me – if you do, you’re a bigot and a “transphobe”
  • I’m going to need ‘blockers’ right away, then “hormones”, and I need to get rid of my breasts/penis to make me feel comfortable
  • If you don’t support my transition, you’re bigoted/transphobic
  • I was born in the wrong body
  • I just want to exist

Rewriting Childhood

When young people adopt a “gender identity”, they often work on a slow (or sometimes rapid) rewriting of their younger years to uphold or “prove” their new narrative

Older children or adolescents might begin by telling their parents, their friends, and even themselves that they have known that they are “trans” or “non-binary” for a year; that year may quickly become two or three years; the two or three years may then morph into “for as long as I can remember”

Children & adolescents lost in transgender ideation often demand that their parents remove all physical reminders of their childhood:

Pictures of his/her early years, prior to transgender ideation

  • Posts and photos on parents’ social media accounts that use his/her real name or speak of him/her in a correctly sexed fashion
  • Christmas ornaments or other keepsakes that reflect his/her sex or display his/her name, commonly referred to as a “dead-name”
  • Clothing that is stereotypically male or female; often to be replaced with stereotypical clothing & accessories of the opposite sex

Children and adolescents are being encouraged to use the ideas, words, practices and protocols of gender ideology by their friend groups, social media influencers, school curricula, mental health & medical professionals, and their governments.

The Script, which tends to appear and be delivered piecemeal, is a significant tool in the indoctrination of children by activists promoting gender ideology.
