Little boy liked playing with dolls.

Dad disliked this.

Mother went along with Dad.

“Toy embargo” ensued.

Boy then wants to be a girl so he can play with dolls.

Mother goes to the doctor.

“He’s supposed to be a girl!”

Doc: “Sorry, no refunds but I can do an exchange”

Mother starts secretly dressing boy as girl, splits from husband, waits till boy is 16, takes him to Thailand to exchange his penis for a mangina.

The end.

Moral of the story:

⁽ᴰᵒⁿ’ᵗ ᵇᵉ ᵃ ʰᵒᵐᵒᵖʰᵒᵇᶦᶜ ᶜʰᶦˡᵈ ᵃᵇᵘˢᶦⁿᵍ ᵐᵉⁿᵗᵃˡᶦˢᵗ⁾

And for Christ’s sake

Let boys play with dolls.

She says it right there - the da couldn’t cope with a girly son! Why did she make her husband's problem the poor gay son's problem? Really shocking. Everything subsequent about Mermaids evangelical fervour has been in the cause of validating Susie Green's actions if you ask me 😡

In so many of these 'origins' stories, there appears to be a deeply co-dependent relationship from mother to child. The child is serving as a prop in some sort of drama or crisis the mother is going through. No idea if this fits the Greens' story, but the marital breakdown is notable.

I told a friend of mine recently to watch that Ted Talk, after she spoke to me about my ‘problematic tweets’. She said she couldn’t believe Mermaids/Susie Green said the things about the toys etc, and agreed that was wrong (if true). 2 weeks later I saw her sharing a bunch of Mermaids tweets. I guess she never watched the Tex Talk, or is happy to overlook how truly awful they are for the sake of appearing woke. How anyone could support Mermaids after watching that is beyond me.

Or she’s just mentally lazy, easier not to think about it and not have to confront the difficulties.

There’s a lot of it about 🤷‍♀️

I hadn't heard the Village People part before. God, it's just naked homophobia. Boils my blood. One tequila shot, coming up. Ice-cold!

the kid behavior these evil ppl thought was "girly" was just normal little kid behavior. little boys and babys have high voices and dont run around acting like professional boxers or adult male action heros. dad should have visited his child's school and he wouldv seen all kids that age look and sound like that. think your kid is too girly or seems gay? so fucking what? wait a few years and he will be nothing like that. no mater how faggy or girly clueless adults think boys kids are, they will grow up to be normal men with puberty. its criminal to rob kids of their human right to go through puberty. one of the saddest things in life is when parents dont accept their kids and are always telling kids theyre doing something wrong. obviously this is what these parents told their poor kid. then parents insult everyone by gaslighting about it.
