Children are being 'brainwashed' by TikTok videos on ‘cool’ trans surgery viewed 26 billion times, campaigners claim

Campaigners have accused TikTok of helping children to be ‘brainwashed’ by hosting viral social-media videos that promote changing sex as ‘cool’.

Material posted by transgender influencers on the social networking service – in which they provide advice on transitioning and accessing hormone therapies – has been seen by millions of young viewers.

Some parents are concerned the involvement of TikTok, which became the UK’s most downloaded app last year, is fuelling a ‘social contagion’ of pressure on impressionable youngsters and the rise in teenagers who are identifying as trans.

More than a quarter of British TikTok users are aged between 15 and 25, and children aged between four and 15 who sign up spend an average of 69 minutes on the app each day, according to TikTok’s own data.

Analysis by The Mail on Sunday shows that videos with the hashtag #Trans have been seen more than 26 billion times.

TikTok signed a partnership earlier this year with Stonewall, the controversial lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights charity, to promote this material.

Another video begins with the words ‘I used to be a good Christian kid’ before showing the transformation to a ‘trans, gay atheist who loves tattoos and chaos’.

Last night, Kate Harris, of the LGB Alliance, which opposes Stonewall’s policies on transgender issues, said: ‘Our major concern is that millions of impressionable children are watching these online influencers.

'It’s no coincidence that the growth of TikTok coincides exactly with the exponential growth of children presenting with gender dysphoria.’

Ms Harris described some of the videos as ‘deeply frightening’, adding: ‘The message is so often, “Don’t involve your parents.”

‘What these videos would lead a generation of children to believe is that it is easy to change sex and that it is the answer to all of your problems.’

When and how does this science fiction dystopia nightmare story end?

Maybe when there’s nothing good on tv and the NFL season is over and people can decide to fight for liberty, dignity and the rights of American citizens to life under the US Constitution.

TikTok is a Chinese operation of cultural destruction against the West.

TikTok is an assault on America and American values.

Pedophilia is illegal, last I checked, because it takes sexual advantage of children who don’t know enough about it to even know what’s happening. So what is the difference between that and adults trying to manipulate children into being transsexuals? They’re easy prey because they don’t understand the whole concept and are easily influenced, because that is the nature of children. That is why they are supposedly protected.

I hope and pray parents wake up! This transgender pandemic/delusion is targeting your children, especially young girls. Even worse, your schools, medical professionals, government and media will all affirm the delusion, and they will actively work to hide it all from you parents.

Read this book and educate yourselves!!!

Sex changes are a different form of sterilization. That’s why the leftists support this degeneracy.

Yep. Inflated view counts are part of the psy op. “Everybody’s watching it over and over.”

“ When and how does this science fiction dystopia nightmare story end?”

When people put an end to it. Any parent that allows their kid to look at tic tok is a fool. Queers need to be driven back underground with extreme malice. All of them. There is no good to come from accepting them into society. Any acceptance of “trans” ideology makes one a bloody idiot too. Make noise. Don’t let them silence you.

If you talk to your kids about these issues and deal with them like the grownups you’re supposed to be, it’s a lot more difficult for them to be brainwashed by some video on TikTok.

Only in America can a poor black boy grow up to be a rich white woman.
