I felt like Keira did when I was her age, as did many of my lesbian friends.
Putting kids on drugs and a possible path to unnecessary surgery because they are experiencing psychological distress caused by external factors is a human rights violation. It is high time that we see it for what it is. Let’s hope the court does, and this practice of medicating and carving up healthy young bodies will be replaced by appropriate care and support for these vulnerable young women. That I write this as a happy lesbian as opposed to a regretful transman is only because when I felt as Keira did, the GIDs clinic did not exist.
No doubt there are multiple reasons why young girls are so easily persuaded that they need to transition. The online culture on forums like Reddit, as outlined by Scott Newgent, must play a considerable part. But yes, it does seem that girls who would if left alone become lesbian, as with Bindel here, are particularly vulnerable. The new trans ideology, it seems, would prefer that they undergo medical intervention as soon as possible rather than break the gender stereotypes or, god forbid, enter into same-sex relationships.
