"The BBC is set to air a documentary about transgender children featuring an "expert" who allegedly tried to "cure" trans kids by banning them playing with dolls.
BBC Two documentary 'Transgender Kids: Who Knows Best?' is set to air next Thursday. "

Yeah, well my father banned me from playing with dolls too.  He was so strict about it even GI Joe was considered effeminate.   Guess what?  It didn't work.


It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being....  - Dan Barker

I remember there was a boy who used to dress like a girl, he lived in the mideast, he liked me alot, as a friend, cause i never felt he did wrong by wearing makeup and a dress and wanted to be a girl.

But the police there in the country i lived in, took him to prison.
And his parents forced him to marry a girl, so they can cure him , this is what they said. I never saw him after that.
He were a person, friend to my cousins, who are involved in hezbollah now, and my cousins started before a radio station to meet girlsonly, they never were interested in the human side of activism of people.
But, they gossip alot, and the story of their neighbor who were a trans and prisoned, was brought to my mother from her sister, who is stalking me now with her sons.

It is very sad how humans can really ruin everything for others. I have never seen Raed after this. And i dunno what happened to him. I know that, it is very important not to live between toxic people, to move, just for the wellbeing of a person.

That's horrible. But the article seemingly condemns his gender theories and former practices.

Hopefully the documentary will explain how he's a quack doctor and no longet allowed to practice. And hopefully parents watching this with children who show possible signs of being trans will be encouraged to seek the right support instead of ignoring it or worse policing 'correct gender norms'. Personally I'm tired of watching documentaries on being trans because they use the same misleading cliches about being transgender.
They/them pronouns preferred.
