What Next After Trans?
by Mary Gilleece, The Daily Sceptic:
While we may allow ourselves a moment’s pause to mark the end of the trans scandal, we cannot celebrate. Another monstrous social contagion will soon engulf us. And if the progression of previous social contagions is anything to go by, the next iteration will be the stuff of even bleaker nightmares. More dreadful than the puberty blocking and sterilisation of children? Oh yes indeed.
What made the trans movement so ice-cold-horrifying is that it was adults causing the harm to the children. From the teachers who accepted the child’s chosen pronouns, to the parents who took their children to the GP, to the doctors who referred the child to a psychiatrist, to the surgeon who eventually hacked off their breasts. It is the horror story as old as time: the adult harming the innocent child while telling her it’s for her own good.
It’s over.
Let’s all breathe out while erstwhile supporters pretend they always thought it was disgusting.
So now what? What social contagion will now grip the popular imagination?
Fair efforts were made to make furries a thing. A horse, a cat and an elf used to stalk the local sixth form college but they seem to have given up after a couple of terms. It’s too exhausting to neigh at people in the lunch queue.
‘Minor attracted persons’ refuses to enter even the bien pensant lexicon.
So now what? Will childhood return to a happy Famous Five affair? Will all those adults in the horror story of trans willingly relinquish their role as chief villain? All those parents who saw ‘dysphoria’, all those doctors who saw confused children in need of ‘healing’, all those psychiatrists who could ‘help’ – will they all really down tools? I don’t think so. Human nature doesn’t change. Social contagion remains, weak-willed adults and out-and-out psychopaths still roam the institutions and academy.
