Why Do Trans Activists Hold Parents in Contempt?

Have you noticed how trans activists hold parents in contempt (unless, of course, the parents in question are also trans activists)? Why do these people feel entitled to direct the emotional and medical treatment of other peoples’ children? The Telegraph revealed how the U.K.-based charity, Mermaids — a deeply sinister child-sex-change organization — was busted handing out chest binders to what they believed to be a 14-year-old girl acting against her parents’ wishes.

From a Times of London report:

Mermaids refused to comment on the investigation but said the charity took a “harm reduction position” on providing chest binders with safety instructions, so people did not have to turn to “unsafe practices” or experiencing dysphoria.

Stephanie Davies-Arai, the founder and director of Transgender Trend, a campaign group, accused the charity of giving out “inaccurate and partial information”.

“This is a great safeguarding concern, because breast binding is basically a form of self-harm. It damages the body in some very serious ways and it prevents girls from being able to breathe properly, meaning that they cannot do sport or be active,” she said.
