God PITT posts are so wordy. I had to cut out so much. That “<…>” in the middle represents the whole story of how this woman’s daughter was going out shopping with the “cheerleader” and how said “cheerleader” eventually became disillusioned.
Anyways my breakdown (of the whole post, not just the excerpt):
- “As far as stereotypical behaviors go, he fits the profile of a boy as well – heavily in to all things sports, cars, trucks, and climbing anything vertical. He never once seemed uncomfortable in his body or voiced any concerns. He never punched or declared his hate for his penis; there were no signs of gender dysphoria at all.” Once again showing transphobes’ strange obsession with genitalia, and saying that someone who has never shown signs of gender dysphoria before a certain date can’t be trans is like saying that someone who has never shown signs of cancer before a certain date can’t have cancer.
- “He’s also never seemed confused about his sexuality. He’s been chasing girls since puberty, sending them texts, surprising them at their lockers with flowers and a Homecoming invite. He’s always been open about wanting a girlfriend and he always shared his crushes with me and his dad.” So? Trans women can be attracted to women, it’s called being both trans and a lesbian at the same time.
- “So, what’s a passionate, sweet, awkward boy to do? Try whatever it takes to get out of the friendzone and to get those girl friends’ attention!” The old canard of “[Trans person] isn’t really trans, they just want attention”
- “Beyond a few shopping trips, my son’s cheerleader eventually became disillusioned and left him behind. Her mother tells me that her daughter is not certain that my son is truly gender dysphoric. She said her daughter now feels like a victim and that she’d been used. While I see her point, I believe my son is the real victim here” Translation: “YOUR KID MADE MY KID ONE OF THE DIRTY T-WORDS”
- “Now we, his family, are left to help sort out this discarded young man’s distress. We’re trying to put him on a healthy path; one that doesn’t involve a lifetime commitment to hormones or mutilating and sterilizing surgeries. Miss Cheerleader is nowhere to be found. Perhaps off to her next project. And, now, having tasted the poison, my son wants more. Furthering the abusive pattern, he jumped back in, this time with a new cheerleader. Still in search of what started all of this...the attention of a girl.” Trying to make it all about yourself, trying to make being trans sound as visceral as humanly possible, etc.
- “Did the cheerleader have any conception of the forces she was meddling with? She certainly had the ability, but did she have the right to manipulate and confuse my child? Did she even understand the concept of gender dysphoria? I’m certain she did not.” What “forces” could she possibly be talking about? Demons?!
- “Anyone who has raised a teen can understand the uphill battle we will face, when he has been so misled by toxic ideology that has been reinforced by his peers.” And to top it off complaining about the trans ideology. This is the gay agenda conspiracy theory all over again.
