Did you know that the transgendering of children is more than a medical treatment for distressed kids? Of course, we savvy parents realize there are trans activists keen to justify the notion that kids as young as 3 or 4 can be certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they were born in the wrong bodies. But did you know that some of these activists openly refer to what they’re doing as a “transgender child movement?”
The Trans Youth Equality Foundation in Portland, Maine has a slick website and a well thought out agenda for this self-proclaimed movement for kids ages 2 to 18.
They’ve got it all: education programs, kid camps, bathroom advocacy, their own trans-youth podcast network, and…..free binders for ages 9-18!
Just like TransActive in Portland, Oregon on the opposite coast (what’s the deal with these Portland towns?), TYEF is more than happy to mail a free binder to a girl as young as 9 years old to “an address other than your home.” Why on earth would a 3rd or 4th grader want something sent somewhere other than their house? Oh we know why.
It’s those pesky, gosh-darned unsupportive parents again, wanting to have their transphobic say about what their 9-year-old is doing. But have no fear! The “kid-approved” video above will teach your grade-school beginner how to bind their prepubescent-tender, hated breast tissue safely. The trendy YouTube trans boy (289,763 views as of this writing) and the friendly folks at TYEF have got this covered. And wow: theRealAlexBertie makes the whole binding thing sound…almost cool!
But admittedly, no one really likes to bind.
Most of our guys like to bind… more correctly put, they want to and need to bind. Who really likes it! It’s satisfying in some ways but it can be tight, and restricting and make you sweat! But here are a few tips since many of you have to wear one for now!
For now? Maybe you’ll get over your hatred of your body some day, is that what they mean? Nah. Eventually you’ll totes get rid of those gross chest blobs, and then you can feel good about being a charitable dude yourself:
Having surgery? Send TYEF those used binders, we are running low!
But enough about binding. What could be cooler than a trans-kid-run podcast network? At the beginning of each episode, the TransWaves introductory jingle tells us they’re all about educating us on the “rights” of trans kids. Episode 11 takes on the subject of “our parents.” As you might expect, it’s all about finding the right gender specialist and getting on board to follow your kid’s lead. Sure, you’re scared, mom, but you “need to learn to accept” that “if they have body dysphoria” you should “not deny them the care they’re entitled to.” Because “doing nothing will be much more harmful to their health.” Puberty blockers have no side effects, you can “stop the Lupron at any time.” Trust your doctors! Trust the Standards of Care! It’s all good.
Because, as this post on the TYEF Facebook page reminds us, it’s never about what YOU think, doubtful mom or dad. It’s what your kid actually IS:
Bathroom-access advocacy is the cutting edge for the transgender children’s “movement,” so of course TYEF is right there in the fight for your kid to use any bathroom they damn well decide they’re “comfortable” in (never mind the comfort of anyone else’s kids):
And skeptical parents, lest you think that the Trans Youth Equality Foundation is nothing more than a group run by adult trans lawyers and activists, pushing some agenda, rest assured there is a medical adviser on board–one of THE top pediatric specialists in the field.
Your 2-year-old is in good hands.

Truly horrifying. Are there not laws about communicating with minor children, tender age children, for purposes of I don’t know medical mayhem without their parents knowledge? Did you see that photo of binder damaged breasts on Gender Trender last week? I get why this is happening. These people are fanatics. What I don’t get is why there aren’t legal protections for children. The binder thing is profoundly disturbing. Those are a thing so completely outside of what any competent medical person would ever recommend. Cutting off the circulation, thus having little strokes in your tissue isn’t good for you. If you have dead tissue from those little strokes it could actually turn into gangrene. Frankly, this makes bulimia look mild.

And a **9-year-old** CHILD would have very new, developing breast tissue. What damage would be done to her? I agree. How is it even legal for stranger-adults to deliberately set themselves up to deceive the parents of a grade school child? I thought TransActive’s “In a Bind” was bad. But the wording on this site is worse. I am frankly shocked (and I don’t shock easily) that they are so blatant about this stuff.

My view has changed. All of the doctors involved in ‘transitioning’ children should simply be put in jail. This needs to be ended now.

They are just a step on the road to “top surgery.” All that discomfort just leads you to cutting the damn things off, once and for all. When you’re NINE.

And look. The whole deal here is to make it easier and easier to “trans” as young as possible. With NO “gatekeeping.” Only enabling. Listen to the podcast. Its one and only purpose is to shame parents into trusting the activists and doctors.
A 9-year-old child should still be playing and exploring the world. It’s an age when kids should be care-free. Instead, they are being encouraged to bind their young bodies in an uncomfortable vise in the name of their “gender identity.” It makes me really sad. If my daughter had secretly received one of these things when she was a little girl, against my express wishes as her mother, I would have raised a huge stink. I certainly wouldn’t just accept it. No matter what “authority figure” was telling me I ought to. These organizations are actively advertising and marketing these devices. It goes way beyond being “supportive.” It’s a movement, alright.

I listened to some of the podcast. It sounds VERY professional. This and website itself are not some grassroots effort on a shoe-string budget. There must be some serious money going into this “movement.”
The podcast gives off a creepy, calm, “there, there, everything is going to be alright” vibe. They also throw in some breathily sung songs in between talking points. Totally aimed at tamping down parent’s instinctual anxiety while convincing them to get with the program. Just makes me sick!

We need to follow the money on this. Who funds these organisations? I’m sure the answer would be enlightening. We need to expose that this “movement” is being funded by self interested adults who show a willful disregard for children’s health and safety in their pursuit to prove their ladybrain theory that hides the murky truth about their “transition”.
I’m in the UK and I’m not aware *as yet* of organisations offering free binders to children (though there are plenty who will “help” parents get their kids on the trans track asap) but if I knew of one I would be contacting MPs and causing a massive stink anywhere I could. If “transition” is deemed “medically necessary” then aren’t binders a form of medical prosthesis? Aren’t there laws regarding the distribution of medical supplies to children? Are there any lawyers reading this? What will it take to get us off the internet and into the courts? Fuck it. I am poor but I’d gladly contribute what I can to a legal fund to have these dangerous assholes shut down. The general public are blind to the reality of the trans rhetoric and I am sick to the back teeth of seeing this agenda pushed everywhere to the applause and stupid mewing of the masses who fall for this bullshit. Fantastic parenting MY ARSE.

MORF in the UK sends out free binders. They don’t say anything about an age limit. But they don’t blatantly hawk them to kids like TYEF and TransActive.

How is any of this legal? If our society recognizes that a minor cannot developmentally and legally make any kind of other contractual decisions (can’t buy property, or enter into employment or any other kind of contract, can’t vote, or can’t even travel on a school field trip without parental permission, etc.) then how is this “movement” getting away with promoting the concept that in this one context a minor is somehow perfectly capable of making this kind of irrevocable medical decision – something we all seem to agree that minors are not capable of making, in any other context? Seriously, this is mind boggling.

Another dumb thing the second therapist said to me. She told me I should stop looking at the Internet when I told her about some of what I saw going on. She said that’s like looking up some symptoms and determining that you’ll be dead in a day. Fair enough. Except during another session she told me about one of her young trans clients (ftm) getting so much support on the Internet. Ok, so what are you saying lady? The Internet is bad for me, but great for a teen?
Parenting is complicated enough without people going out of their way to undermine you every step of the way.
I would never engage in any sort of conversion therapy. I would never tell my kid to pray their feelings away or call their confusion sinful or stupid. But the extreme opposite end of this is I’m supposed to allow my kid to engage in behaviors that are detrimental to his health and well being in the name of being supportive? So what exactly is my role in this parenting gig? Shut up and pay the bills I guess.

The people supposedly helping our kids are discouraged from thinking critically. Yes, you should avoid looking for facts on the Internet, but your kid is more than capable of finding correct information there?
Something is seriously wrong and now some people are noticing because it is impacting us where we live, in the lives of our children. People just aren’t that smart , or well, some aren’t as cunning and that’s why we had values and rules and norms and mores in society … To protect those more vulnerable by those with more power (in whatever form). This is where we’ve gotten snagged, I think, because we want to “empower” everyone to go it alone, to divest themselves of their mindlessness submission to values deemed out-date, but what has happened is we made it more likely our less cunning members would be extorted and abused. We wanted everyone to have total freedom, which is a fine ideal, but it just doesn’t play out when others who have more power believe they have the personal right to take advantage of others (though they avoid cognitive dissonance by believing they are participating in the liberation of others).
Remember the hippies? One thing they had right was understanding how medicine could be used to corrupt and coop personal freedom. They were skeptical of external interventions that would alter the body from its natural form. What the hell happened? This was like basic hippy truth. Our kids should understand this. How did we go from being skeptical of the medical industrial complex to this??? How did the I need to be free to be me, get into bed with I need your pills and knife to find my true self? We need to document this exodus, show people how we went from freedom to enslavement (isn’t being on drugs your whole life, having your person owned by the medical establishment a form of servitude?).
