"We also learn how the enterprising Tilly, Nat and Faith are planning to start an educational company called Transgender Workshops and Trainings (TWAT) when they grow up."
It's their "unique selling point". It is no accident that many trans young go into activism, campaigning. "Trans" is "something that they can explain" - except that they have no insight into the emotional trauma inside their "Mum" so they can't explain. They effectively say: "Look at me". Boring!
The parody is clear and apt. I’m just really, really disturbed at the idea of a mother making her children stop calling her “mom” and pretend they don’t have one anymore.
I just saw Kellie-Jay's video about this program, and I have to say it is even more distressing than I thought it would be. The level of gas-lighting to which those children have been exposed is impossible to exaggerate IMO. Using kids to further the aims of the Trans Cult™ can simply never be considered ethical in any way, shape or form.
Also, a theme that stood out to me was the fact that these people like to reframe honesty, questions asked and observations made in good faith as "intolerance", "bullying" or even "hatred". I don't know if anyone else is as bothered by this as I am.
Some snippets: "Mum" - now with a very short back and sides and a much deeper voice - keeps a dress in her cupboard for her daughter Tilly to wear one day (My daughter would never contemplate that!) Off-the-cuff remark: "Dad" lives in the house across the road, i.e. Mum and Dad are separated. While mixing a cake with her friend from primary school Tilly reflects that she's never met anyone else with Trans parents. She seems to slow down as the confusion takes hold of her too...Then "Mum" reveals that she "lived like a boy" for a couple of years when she was 7. The utter selfishness is mind-blowing: it appears that becoming a mother has not been the life-affirming, transformative experience that it is for most women. How can "Mum" talk about this without understanding the jarring clash of two realities that her daughter is feeling? We see a photo of "Mum" in dungarees as a child. Is this all that "living as a boy" means? And so on. A censoring of language means a censoring of thought, and this is diminish and arrest the child's emotional development, just as it has the "trans" parent's development.
Cycles of mental illness run in families (RD Laing "The Voice of Experience") unless the sane parent takes drastic action to ensure that all "grooming" (I called it "manipulation") is examined and explicitly identified. My son went to Oxford to study classics and my daughter went to University College, London. They are both bored to death with my research on trans, but beginning to ask questions now as I explain about the Keira Bell case. It really has been a very long journey back to sanity for me, and into the beginning of "gender criticism" for them.
No. The father does make a brief appearance at the end. He joins his ex-wife and the two children at Tilley's birthday party at a children's llama farm and they have "family" photos taken. He is utterly compliant ?! Bizarre. Impossible to tell what's going on there.
I noticed in the credits that "Fox Fisher" is Assistant Casting Producer and "Freddy" McConnell (Guardian journalist and would-be "father" to the child born from her body) is Consultant. It's a small cozy world of Trans "consultants". Even more: AAAARRGHHH!
Finally: the younger child says that he felt like his (proper) mum "was taken away". Of course he did: his mum "died". There's a reason that we can ourselves "transwidows" and the children "trans orphans" - not common currency, but it should be.
"Mum": "That's a really hard situation. Are you OK?" as the youngest sniffs loudly and breaks down. Of course it's not OK! You've bloody well killed yourself. The child DOES understand that, but it clashes with the "reality" of the body and altered mind in front of him. This "disconnection" will cause crippling uncertainty and mounting grief as the child reaches adulthoood. The child is being abused because he cannot live with such unconfronted lies. Insanity cripples. My stepson never had bereavement counselling, and his mother was too distraught to look out for him (Rupert), so Rupert is a mess now.
Every part of the children's upbringing with a severely mentally ill "mum" is destructive.
We do not see the dad at all in this episode. He is the sane one who should have been given custody. Aarrghhh!
I too wish the term "trans orphan" would enter into the lexicon (not because I am one, mind you). The disenfranchised children of these narcissists receive even less acknowledgement than transwidows do, which is really saying something. These people should all be considered to instantly require bereavement counselling, but are not supported because recognizing this simply doesn't tally with the Stunning & Brave narrative.
Prof Spinny: would you like to contact me through my website: transwidows.com? Or would you agree to Graham giving us each other's e-mail addresses? I am in touch with the owner of the Childrenoftransitioners.org. She is Emma Bryn and lives in UK. There are more transwidows and trans orphans than most people realise. I would like to write to you, please.
I am about to complain to the BBC. Following Gov instructions in October that the Dept of Education was not to promote "trans" to children why is Children's BBC promoting it? We all know why - see the advisers below - but they should, must NOT do this. Another battle which I will take right up to BBC Trustees - I am on round 3 with my complaint about the "transphobic" slur of WPUK, FPFW and FiLiA by Jane Garvey in an episode of Woman's Hour. Others are welcome to also complain. Please keep a record of exactly what you wrote, as BBC (in common with all other complaints depts) will not repeat your original words when they try to brush you off.
Jesus Christ, it's produced by CBBC

Is that real? That’s so, so sad. Those poor children.
show is real, title isn't

My Two Dads really needs a 21st century reboot.
Poor wee souls. The kids, not the fuckwit selfish special unicorn "parent".

OK. Sorry, Graham. I've found it. The series is CBBC's "My Life: When Mum becomes Dad" : https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000pz3c/my-life-series-11-when-mum-becomes-dad
latest episode 30th November. 28mins.

I have only just realised that this is on the CBBC channel. Make it stop.

Both Aaarrghhh! and typical if you ask me, Una-Jane.

Hi Una-Jane! I hope that you are able to retrieve my email address from Emma(?) with a minimum of fuss.
I'm so sorry I didn't see your comment far sooner...<3<3
Faith is receiving Bereavement counselling!!!!
As she should IMHO.
Is it actually called 'Grooming'???
