A 10-year-old transgender girl had a devastating reaction when asked what her biggest fear was amid a fierce public debate over trans rights.

The child was speaking to CNN's Lucy Kafanov as Supreme Court hears a case over the constitutionality of a Tennessee law denying transgender minors gender-affirming care.

Kafanov asked what concerns she had about speaking out for her rights.

'That I'm going to be like, murdered,' 10-year-old Violet DuMont replied.

'That one I'm going to be walking down the street and somebody's going to come up and, like, shoot me or something.'

Kafanov commented how a fear of being murdered is a 'really scary thing to be worrying about at 10 years old.'

'Yeah, that should not be a worry,' DuMont replied.

It’s spread so quickly with no rhyme or reason.

It has only intensified recently. Fractions became inches, inches have became a foot and a foot might well become a yard if left unchecked. It's origins is decades old.

Society in Transition: A History of the Trans Movement

There have always been individuals who challenged gendered social norms. But Western social, medical, and political recognition of people who cross the boundaries of gender only truly began in the 20th century. The stories of Trans Scripts are interwoven into this history—a history that is still being written and re-defined today.
One of the earliest attempts to medically define the trans experience came in the early 20th century with the research of Berlin-based physician/sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld. In 1919, Hirschfeld published The Transvestites, outlining his research and treatments for transgender people—then referred to as transvestites. The reason is the desire for the destruction of norms so that debauchery and perversion is the norm and so that practitioners will face no punishment.

JMO, YMMV

It’s the crazy moms

[leaning conservative]

My understanding is that transvestites are straight men who dress up in women’s clothing, but have no desire to be a woman.
What does YMMV stand for?

Your milage may vary. YMMV

The increase in girls to boys is up 500% in some areas, while boys to girls stays about the same. Hysteria. Social contagion. Etc. Much like the crying contagions or dancing contagions years ago. (People died dancing due to exhaustion!)

Of course those incidents were confined to a school or village. Now with the internet it is global. Although it usually affects middle-class white girls. I think it is somehow related to them wanting to be special, stand out, but also be part of a group and belonging. Most of the girls (80% plus) have underlying mental health issues including on the spectrum for autism, anxiety (hmm - worrying about being murdered), OCD, etc.

Farther back there were folks that thought they were made of glass and would break if moved. Some French king even made his servants place him in a straw-filled box to move him from his bed to the chamber pot.

The definition fits perfectly.

And now, instead of calling the police on the parents, the doctors help them “fabricate, exaggerate, and induce illness in the child.”
