The trans mob are despicable in their use of gender non conforming kids in their desperation to justify their fetishes. I was a gender non conforming kid in the 70's. I played with girls toys, had female friends, dressed up in girls stuff. I hated anything masculine. I was bullied, told by my peers that I should've been a girl, called queer, poof, all the usual stuff. I would've been the perfect target had this dangerous ideology been around then. I can even remember saying to my parents it would've been better if I'd been a girl because that's really what I thought age 10. Thankfully they ignored me and just let me get on with it. I went through puberty, grew out of all that and simply turned out to be gay. Who knows why so many LGB don't conform to gender stereotypes when they're young? We're unlikely to ever know. But I wasn't bloody trans. I'm a happily married 56 year old gay man now and I'll fight this for as long as it takes until everyone can see it for the utter bollocks that it is.
Ah I'm so sorry to hear about your experiences of childhood, Steve. Thank goodness your parents left you alone to do your thing. Like you, I'm horrified at the medicalisation of gender non-conforming children. When I was at university - late 80s - most of the boys wore more make-up and jewellery than I did! (And I wore quite a lot!) These dreadful regressive stereotypes of masculinity and femininity should have been left behind in teh 1950s.
