The Transgender Industry Is Culling Tomboys Out Of Existence

The biggest sources of sex stereotypes and strict gender roles are the trans movement and its allies, insisting girls who like 'boy' things must actually be boys.

---

Sometimes transgender propaganda is too honest for its own good. For example, Loudoun Now, a weekly newspaper in Virginia’s Loudoun County, just ran a horrifying story encouraging gender dysphoria in children.

The piece focuses on seven-year-old Sophia, now pretending to be a boy named Max, and her mother Emily (the unnamed father is almost entirely absent from the article). It was meant to boost transgender ideology in an area that has become a battleground over transgenderism and critical race theory in schools, but it inadvertently reveals several ugly truths about the trans-kids movement.

First, this story shows that the transgender movement is coming for very young children, starting in preschool if not sooner. Transgender advocates insist that kindergarteners and even toddlers are capable of committing to transition, and that everyone else must affirm this. Instead of waiting to see what shakes out as children develop, trans advocates demand that children be immediately transitioned socially (new names, new clothes, new pronouns, new bathrooms, etc.), followed by medical transition beginning before puberty.

Second, the Loudoun Now piece reveals that sexism is the basis for transitioning these little children. We are told that, as a toddler, “Sophia showed a preference for ‘boy toys’ and sports” though Emily “continued to offer dresses and dolls, thinking Sophia would eventually show interest.” But when Sophia was only five, Emily gave up on her efforts to interest her tomboy daughter in girly-girl stuff, and decided that what she really had was a transgender son.

In this, Emily followed fashionable opinion, which has shifted from insisting that it is fine, even good, for girls to like sports, trucks, and other stereotypical boy stuff to declaring that such girls must really be boys. Goodbye tomboys, hello trans-boys.

The biggest sources of sex stereotypes and strict gender roles in America today are the trans movement and its allies. Many self-described feminists have knuckled under, cheering as it is said that girls should stick to dresses and dolls and that girls who like “boy” things must actually be boys. The transgender movement is far more sexist than the most retrograde, fundamentalist Christians I’ve ever known — at least the latter still let their daughters enjoy basketball and PE.

Third, this case demonstrates how it is often adults who are pushing for children to transition. The reporter says, “It never occurred to Sophia that she was anyone other than a boy,” which makes it odd that the story does not relate any instances of Sophia saying that she was, or wanted to be, a boy. No evidence is provided for this central claim of the story.

Instead, the article tells about Sophia, then around five years of age, admiring Max from “Stranger Things” to the point of wanting to be called Max. This is presented as a major milestone in revealing Sophia’s trans identity. But “Stranger Things'” Max is a girl. This was nothing more than one tomboyish little girl admiring and wanting to be like an older tomboyish girl on TV.

Indeed, reading the story, which relies entirely on Emily for pertinent information about Sophia/Max, it is striking that no evidence of gender dysphoria is presented beyond a little girl being a tomboy. However, it does appear Emily was distressed at her daughter being a tomboy instead of a girly girl, and we are told that Emily can now get her little “boy” to cooperate in dressing up, albeit in bow-ties and button-down shirts rather than dresses.

We are also told that following the first foray, “Emily started trashing the girl clothes in the closet.” Perhaps “trashing” was just color added by the reporter, and Emily actually gave them away. But if it is accurate, it suggests seething bitterness. Regardless, it was clearly Emily, not Sophia, driving the declaration of a transgender identity for Sophia.

Fourth, this story illustrates the pernicious effects of the trans movement’s hostage-taking. Emily admits to concerns about the future medical transition of her daughter, but dismisses them by repeating word for word the trans movement’s mantra, “I’d rather have a trans son than a dead daughter.” Yet this story presents no evidence that Sophia ever considered, let alone threatened or attempted, suicide. Emily’s fear seem to be entirely instilled from outside sources.

It is true that people who identify as transgender have high rates of suicide and self-harm, but identifying as transgender has not been shown to reduce this. Furthermore, Sophia did not consider herself transgender until adults, led by her mother, introduced the concept to her (indeed, she still might not understand it). Far from helping her daughter, it seems that Emily pinned a trans identity on her, and is now writing her a suicide script to use as a threat against anyone who does not affirm this identity.

Although the Loudoun Now story was an attempt at pro-trans propaganda, it inadvertently let the truth out. The reader is left to fill in the gaps in some omissions, but it clearly shows how the trans movement is filling parents’ minds with propaganda and fear to induce them to transition very young children based on crude sex stereotypes. In this case, a seven-year-old girl is now a handful of years away from permanent body mutilation and sterility via puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery.

Pour one out for the tomboys, because those rambunctious little girls are about to be transitioned out of existence.

Good point.

The people who are loudest about saying women can do manly things as good as men are often the same ones saying little girls who like boy-type stuff are really boys trapped in girls bodies.

Which is it?

Really sad business.
My cousins daughter was a total tomboy, a very pretty girl, but an athlete and sports nut, and into some “extreme” sports. She’s now married, to another “extreme” sports jock (a man!), and she’s now got a baby girl, who is probably going to the Olympics given her breeding.

Tomboy girls used to grow into fun women...the kind who’d be good fishing-hunting companions, gardeners and other outdoor pursuits, NASCAR and NCAA sports fans, and great moms. This TRANS crap is screwing them up early.

Sadly, the trans movement is creating a stratified Victorian view of women.

Idiotic feminists need to be tarred and feathered.

I typed "famous tomboys" into a Bing search bar.

So apparently their parents made a mistake by letting then outgrow it.

There are so many ironies it is almost impossible to list them.

While guys (with danglies) insist on competing and, due to the fact they are guys, destroying bio girls in sports, a girl whose parents trannie her over to a guy will NEVER be able to compete in sports.

That is it. Sports closed for her->him. Maybe 1 in 1000 will be able to be a bench warmer in a low-strength sport but even 1/1000 is probably overstating the case.

It is sad that the next Mia Hamm or Stefi Graf will never emerge since she->he will be sitting watching the born boys play.

I picked worms with my older brother. We got a penny a piece for them at the bait shop. Tomboy?? Hell no...Capitalist!!

I have a cousin who was a sissy/mama’s boy as a kid, but he grew up to be a big biker dude and truck driver. He’s a good guy and my favorite cousin, but I guess by today’s standards he would be considered fouled-up and should have grown up to be Caitlyn Jenner instead.

[ConservativeMind]

My wife is a tomboy.

Definitely a great way to go, guys!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I was a total tomboy growing up. Still am to a degree.

[bk1000]

My fiancé was a tomboy who grew up on a dairy farm. She is now one of the most girly girls I have ever met. She is a strong MAGA gal and I have never been so happy to be with someone.

[Savage Rider]

Someone recently told me to call her Daniel because she felt like a boy trapped in a girl’s body. I told her she was just a tomboy and enjoyed doing some things that boys did because they are more active ... and as a bonus, get you closer to boys which you secretly like. I also told her I would not call her Daniel and she should get new friends who weren’t supporting this “I am somebody else trapped in my body” nonsense. You are what you are, not a kind of human Russian nesting doll.

[bgill]

So, it’s either this or that. Girls can’t climb trees. Alrighty, then boys can’t become cooks or nurses or teachers. Way to stereotype.

I grew up with some tomboys that grew up to be beautiful, feminine women. At the time, being a tomboy was considered a phase that some girls went through and nothing more than that. But that was an era where people had more common sense.

Now on the boy side, being a sissy was not as tolerated back then. We tended to have any signs of sissiness drummed out of us by our dads (who were much more around in those days). But even so, you did not have mothers feeding into it by putting their sons in dresses and makeup.

It's a shame what our society is doing to our children.

Yep, tomboys often grow into remarkable women. Another important variable is a girl’s relationship with her father. The closer it is, the stronger and more self-reliant and sensible the grown woman will be. Think Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher; both were very attached to their dads. And it’s no coincidence that all of these creepy “trans” anecdotes involve an overbearing mother and a weak or non-existent father.

These modern Mengeles who are engaging on this medical experimentation on children should be here:

My wife and I are in our mid-70s, retired and live on a farm raising beef cattle.

We are also raising our now, 4 year old granddaughter. She's been living full-time with us for over two years and we are in the midst of formally adopting her as her parents.

She goes to regular elementary school in the mornings and to daycare school in the afternoons.

Being an only child, living with us on a farm, she is largely influenced by us and the laissez-faire lifestyle of a free spirited farm girl. She has the run of the place and looks to her granny as a role model. She is very bright and a little hellion at the same time. Rough and tumble, likes playing with the dog, collecting bugs and catching frogs. She pitches in and helps us with the farm chores and is good at it already at the ripe young age of just turning 4 years old.

She doesn't wear dresses, but not by design, more for convenience. Who does on a farm? Kids her age wear shorts, jeans and t-shirts. She like Legos, coloring, dinosaurs, stuffed animals, especially unicorns. She does have a baby doll and kid's kitchen on the porch. She would rather help her granny in the garden than watching TV or playing indoors. Like her granny, she loves plants and helps out in the potting shed and greenhouse all the time. She's not afraid to get dirty or play hard.

Some little girls do not want to be ballerinas. They would rather wear Muck boots. We try to buy her gender neutral toys and not influence her one way of the other when it comes to her identity.

From our observations, she is a full blown tomboy. Her granny was one, growing up on a tobacco farm with 4 brothers and playing basketball at school.

But as she gets older, if she shows an interest in more girlie things, we will help her out and encourage her. What we don't want to happen is these pervert transgender adults trying to influence her to be something she is not. We think that is irresponsible and disgusting to prey on young children like that.
