I first came across the heartbreaking story of James Younger a few years ago when he was about five years old. His divorced parents were fighting over custody of him and his twin brother Jude. If that was not bad enough for the youngsters, the mother, a pediatrician, had convinced James by age three that he was really a girl and therefore needed to be “fixed.” She coached him into using the name Luna. The father, Jeffrey Younger, simply wanted to raise him as a boy sensing that once removed from the mother’s influence James would revert to being a normal little boy.
As is the case far more often than not, the Texas courts awarded custody of the now 10-year-old twins to the mother.
When I first heard about James there were videos on YouTube showing him conversing with his father and trying to explain why he believed he was really a girl. It was heartbreaking to watch this adorable little boy exhibit such monstrous brainwashing. It most assuredly looked like a case of child abuse of the very worst kind.
Yesterday we learned that the mother, Anne Georgulas, had secretly fled Texas with the boys to California which now allows all children to undergo the process of “gender affirmation,” on a no-questions-asked basis. George Orwell would be impressed by this label.
I cannot fathom how a parent or any adult could manipulate a child into believing it was really a member of the opposite sex. According to psychologists, 80% of kids who go through such a phase grow out of it after a few months. The others, if left alone, will, most likely, grow up to be gay with healthy, fully-functioning bodies, and reproductive systems.
How can a parent even consider encouraging such a dangerous transformation? Well, there are a number of possible explanations:
-The mother suffers from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. This malady is a close kin of hypochondria and afflicts women far more than men. The difference is that the mother projects illness on the child so that she can score social points for being the saintly, long-suffering, caretaker of a special needs child.
-As some prominent members of the LGBTQ community have pointed out, the super woke and progressive parents involved in these cases may subconsciously prefer a trans child to a gay child. (Yes, it’s weapons-grade irony.)
-It could be driven by anger, hate, and a desire for revenge against men. If you have been reading all the regular calls by feminists for the elimination of men through the abortion of male fetuses, this explanation won’t sound too far-fetched.
A number of years ago, Blaire White, who is trans herself and to whom I subscribe, criticized a video that was then quickly removed. The video was shot in a bedroom. The camera was set up to show two persons seated on the edge of the bed. I could not determine the sex of the adult but the child was clearly an angelic young Shirley Temple look-a-like with golden locks. I estimated her age to be three or four tops. The one-way conversation went something like this. (I cannot recall her name so will use “Jenny.”)
Adult: This is Jenny, she is four years old. Isn’t that right?
Child: Looks up at the adult and nods in agreement.
Adult: Jenny was born a girl but doesn’t like being a girl.
Child: Looks up at adult and pauses as if to divine the required answer, and then nods again.
Adult: Jenny wants to be a boy someday, doesn’t she?
Child: Once more, the child pauses to scan the adult’s face and then nods in agreement.
It was an utterly cringeworthy interaction.
A trans child is like a vegan cat. Everyone knows who is calling the shots.
Parents will have experienced a toddler falling down and then immediately checking their facial expressions to decide if they should cry or laugh. That’s how impressionable the young are. They will do whatever they think adults want them to.
Kids Only
My comments above apply only to children. Adults who have body dysmorphia should be free to make their own decisions. However, I do object to allowing children who are not allowed to make any other decisions being given the freedom to initiate “gender-affirming” medical interventions which come with serious downsides.
By the way, young adults with outstanding student loans recently argued that when they signed up for the loans at age 18, they were too young to understand what they were getting themselves into. Therefore, they should not be required to pay down their loans. However, as a society, we allow children under ten to declare themselves as being the opposite sex and then demand that everyone play along with them.
