New HBO documentary depicts parents propagandizing their children in radical gender theory and robbing them of life in their natural bodies.
A new HBO documentary, titled “Transhood,” is pushing the limits of what America understands as the transgender rights movement. Following four so-called transgender children, aged 4, 7, 12, and 15, the documentary’s description says it demonstrates “how the kids are challenged and transformed as they experience the complexity of their identities.” While through the lens of leftist LGBT advocacy this might sound empowering, from a rational point of view, it is far from a positive development.
In a scene shared by Matt Walsh, the family of the 4-year-old attends what looks to be a progressive church. The religious leader opens the floor for anyone in the congregation to “claim their identity publicly” as LGBT, rattling off a long string of other identity options, and for the group to celebrate them together.
A mother brings up a little boy, dressed in girl’s clothing, who shyly holds the microphone as his mother prompts him, “Do you want to tell them if you’re a boy or a girl?” The boy looks up at his mother for reassurance as he says quietly, “I just want to tell them I am a girl.”
The boy, still too shy to speak for himself, hands his mother the microphone, and she confidently announces that the child would like everyone to know he is a girl and prefers female pronouns. The religious leader and a helper hand the child a flower as the congregation says together, “May you be well, safe, and whole. We honor you exactly as you are.”
In another scene, the little boy is sitting in a dress as his mother reads to him, surrounded by typical girls’ toys and decor. Walsh tweeted, “This is from HBO’s ‘Transhood’ documentary. A mother puts her 4 year old son in a dress and reads him LGBT propaganda. You’re literally watching her brainwash the child into thinking he’s a girl. It’s no mystery how children end up ‘trans.’ This is it. Right here.” Walsh is not far from the truth — and the majority of LGBT and medical authorities on the subject seem to agree with him, yet in a roundabout way.
In a guidebook for schools, titled “Schools in Transition,” the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBT organization, warns, “The consequences of not affirming a child’s gender identity can be severe.” One 2018 article published by the American Psychological Association, titled “Embracing a gender-affirmative model for transgender youth,” argues, “The new research has a simple message: When transgender children get support affirming their gender identities, their mental health difficulties go down; when they don’t get support, they go up.” The article says the “pathology” of gender dysphoria is our culture and that nothing is “wrong” with the child.
To illustrate this argument, the author tells the story of a 14-year-old autistic girl who suddenly fell into a depression, hated her body, began binding her breasts, and attempted to lose weight. “When Samantha told her pediatrician she wanted a mastectomy, the practice urged the family to consult a gender specialist,” the article says. Astonishingly, the article boasts that after one meeting with the gender specialist, “the psychologist concluded that Samantha was transgender and should proceed to transition.”
Despite her parents expressing concern that this was simply an issue involving her diagnosis of autism and the fact that autistic children often irrationally fixate on very specific things and refuse to move forward, the experts claimed this was normal. Transgenderism and autism frequently co-occur, the article states.
The parents concluded, “It was a process of saying goodbye to a daughter and welcoming a son.” Samantha began testosterone therapy and had an elective double mastectomy, which allegedly brought her joy, despite her continued fixation on her weight.
In a 2016 document, titled “Supporting & Caring for Transgender Children,” the Human Rights Campaign, the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians, and the American Academy of Pediatrics propose an even more concerning variable. Introducing the term “gender-expansive children” to account for the wide variation in gender expression, the document states, “Sometimes a child’s gender expression, or what they say about their gender, seem to be in flux.”
Their gender identity might be conditional to their environment, and they recognize it might “take time” for them to “figure it out.” The authors admit, “Although what a child says about their gender at a young age can hint at whether they’ll turn out to be transgender, there’s often no way to be sure.”
They introduce the separation of transgender children, who are distressed over their “assigned sex,” and gender-expansive children, who are not “gender-typical” and might be transgender or grow up to be nonbinary or perfectly normal. The American Psychological Association insists, “As puberty and the irreversible change it brings approach, transgender and gender-nonconforming youth may not be ready to make a decision about their ultimate gender.”
In other words, if a child is not quite one gender or the other, or is possibly both or neither, the medical experts and LGBT activists believe intervention is necessary, which parents must affirm and support. As a result, parents frantically attempt to interpret how a child feels about himself before the kid has any chance to live in his natural body.
To Walsh’s point, what other path would a 4-year-old take after announcing to his community, at the encouragement of his mother, that he is in fact a little girl? He lives as a girl, dresses in stereotypical clothing, and will likely take puberty blockers until he reaches his early teenage years, when adults will again affirm him and tell him castration, estrogen, and plastic surgery will finally make him “exactly who he is.”
What choices does this child have, based on whatever his mother thought proved he was “really” a girl when he was 4 years old? According to the experts, this all depends on his parents. For many who are highly critical of gender-affirmative therapy, this is the most important question of all, especially considering how wildly varied and fluid the experts are on even defining the condition. We simply cannot afford to ignore their influence and the influence of the parents involved.
I pray, O God....please stop this. For your glory turn this wickedness back on the ones that sent it. Nevertheless Thy will be done.

How queer.
This at the same time that we are told to reject notions of “female clothing” and “girl’s toys/decor”.
But mama wants to be special so she has abused her child.
Peter Cushing was raised by a mother who dressed him as a girl when he was very small. Peter wandered off and got lost and the police who found him were suprised to learn he was a boy.
Wow.
Joy Behar has lost some weight.
Call child protective services. Yank these kids out of these homes.....
Sick.
Good one!!😀😛😜
I wonder how many in CPS think this home is great, and would like to place some kids there.
“Parents Brainwashing 4-Year-Olds Into Transgenderism”
That should be a capital crime.
I didn’t know that and went off to sarch.
His mom was a kook...his brother was a trip:
“Another quirk of his mother Maria was the unusual punishment she meted out to her children whenever they were naughty–she would collapse and pretend to be dead.
This caused Peter considerable distress.
His brother, however, was less sentimental and suggested kicking their mother to ensure she was indeed dead.”
That photo shows definite images linked to Satanism.
What are these parents thinking?
Netflix would never have shown this documentary.
This is nothing more than the outcropping of militant “feminism” to eradicate natural males and “toxic masculinity”
Coercing young female children to be “young boys” (their version of a kinder, gentler male)
And more often coercing young MALE children to be “feminine, girly”
It’s been going on in soccer mom, white suburbia where men have ZERO rights to their children in “family” court and where kicking dad out is monetarily incentivized in the courts, the gov’t agencies and to the now broken family.
We look back today at the insanity of the world during the ww2 years and say “what the hell was wrong with people? What were they thinking?”
One day we will look back on these times and say the same exact thing.
I always wanted to hear a castratti singing.

NOW founder Kate Millett was a radical dyke and a homofascist
She also advocated for sex between adult women and girls

..I hadn’t seen her (sister Kate) for years. Although she had tormented me when we were youngsters, those memories were faint after my Asian traumas and the break-up of my marriage. I foolishly mistook her for sanctuary in a storm. With so much time and distance between us, I had forgotten her emotional instability.
And so began my period as an unwitting witness to history. I stayed with Kate and her lovable Japanese husband, Fumio, in a dilapidated loft on The Bowery as she finished her first book, a PhD thesis for Columbia University, “Sexual Politics.”
It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:
“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”
Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.
They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was “to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’”: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.
It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish...

In an interview with Mark Blasius, Millett was sympathetic to the concept of intergenerational sex, describing age of consent laws as “very oppressive” to gay male youth in particular but repeatedly reminding the interviewer that the question cannot rest on the sexual access of older men or women to children but a rethinking of children’s rights broadly understood.[45]
Millett added that “one of children’s essential rights is to express themselves sexually, probably primarily with each other but with adults as well” and that “the sexual freedom of children is an important part of a sexual revolution ... if you don’t change the social condition of children you still have an inescapable inequality”.[45]
In this interview, Millett criticized those who wished to abolish age of consent laws, saying the issue was not focused on children’s rights but “being approached as the right of men to have sex with kids below the age of consent” and added that “no mention is made of relationships between women and girls”.[45]
Millett believes sexual access to children is only one part of a larger goal of liberating children from all forms of parental oppression.
Amen Amen .....
For the curious...
