Manipulative Tactics in Transgender Advocacy
A prevalent tactic used by transgender advocates involves presenting a false dilemma to parents, asking whether they would prefer a dead son or a living daughter. This approach employs the fear of suicide to undermine critical thinking, coercing parents into supporting transition. It often results in decisions made under emotional duress, as seen in cases like Jazz Jennings where families feel pressured to affirm their child's gender identity due to threats of self-harm. Such manipulation can lead to long-lasting and potentially harmful outcomes for children, who may be making decisions based on transient feelings rather than an understanding of their identity.
