Indeed, it is really scary to see how these kids are pressured to think that they would be better of with an altered body. I know people who have never bothered about gender because they fitted nicely in the expectations of society, but who now really believe that gender is a real, innate essence, and that it is humane and progressive to tell children who have a difficult time to adapt to their sex that they will be helped by medications and surgery when they enter puberty.

Recently, I saw a book for toddlers about a sheep that wanted to be a pig, that yelped like a pig and liked to play in the mud like a pig. The solution proposed in this book was that the veterinarian shaved the little sheep, and then became visible that underneath the wool the sheep had a pink skin like that of a pig. In the book, the veterinarian even made a curl in the tail of the sheep. After this transformation, the sheep was accepted as a playmate by the pigs.

This is a very clear example of indoctrinating children to believe that if you don’t behave like other members of your group, you don’t really belong to this group, and the solution then is surgery. This is clearly a message that will harm GNC children.
