You know, if I was reading
a work of fiction that depicted a world in which female transsexuals constantly described and treated their new surgically constructed "penises" like newborn babies, I would have thought that the author was being heavy-handed with the biological-essentialism metaphors, as well as being borderline sexist.
But it's not fictional. It's real life!

Your kid is being brain molested by Uncle Internet. Please raise your daughter.
This whole debacle could have been stopped if this dumb bitch had paused for
even a moment and asked herself "where is my daughter getting these ideas?"
The question "Where did you get the idea that you're a boy, sweetheart?" shortly followed by a gently-phrased "why do you think girls can turn into boys?" and a little encouraging talk about how girls are allowed to like whatever they want to like (followed by a confiscation of the iPad and any other unrestricted internet access) could have stopped this shit in ten minutes.
But why do that when you can have a Trans Kid™ instead?
And she never will be and Munchie Mommy Dearest set her on the life path of learning this the hard way.
Right. It
could have been an important lesson in radical self-acceptance, at an age when kids can actually handle that type of thing better than adults (because they're easily distractible and don't ruminate as much). Instead, Mommy Dearest kicked the can down the road so that her daughter can have the same realization ten or twenty years later,
after she's ruined her health and is peeing through a catheter.
Oh my god.
It looks like a meme image you'd send to someone about a dude being kicked in the groin so hard his dick and balls flatten.
