Chanty "Big Red" Binx (Morris), not satire by the way.

Dear Jane,
I’ve been in such a state of perpetual turmoil ever since giving birth. My child, pronoun “they”, is now 3-years-old. I have been mired in a heinous state of chronic depression because “they” do not want to play with girl’s toys. It destroys me that “they” might be another white CIS male, and another future agent of the patriarchy. That’s just not the type of lifestyle I can support or agree with. “Their” father has also been deeply despondent over our child’s reluctance to conform to our stance and ideals on gender. My husband identifies as gender neutral, and whenever “Xe” (my husbands current pronoun) witnesses our child playing with toy trucks and trains, it triggers “Xer” so hard that “Xe” crumbles into a quivering pile of inconsolable PTSD jitters.
My question is, how can I persuade my child to blossom into the fabulous transgender individual that I know in my heart “they” truly are? All I’ve ever wanted was a trans child, and the fact that “they” seem so drawn to boys toys and refuse to don the lovely dresses I so painstakingly choose for “them” just crushes my soul. What can I do to make “them” understand the harm that they inflict on our family through their identity as a CIS-gendered white male? Please Jane, help us, it’s tearing our family apart.

Straight out of “Portlandia”. Author is doing her bit in helping to keep Portland weird. Also sounds like some big fat disability checks coming their way, what with the husband sporting PTSD, and the mother with munchausen Transgender Identity Syndrome (should qualify her for a full frontal lobotomy). Fortunately the kid seems well rounded and just might pull through this if the parents are institutionalized.
Camille Pagalia, author of “in defense of men”, has brought up that the women’s movement is now in denial of basic biology (boy parts = boy, girl parts = girl), that she says they need to have a biology class as part of women’s studies so that a man in a dress can’t come in and state he’s a woman.
She also brings up that while she rebelled against gender roles (expectations of her wearing dresses, makeup, playing with dolls), she opposes transgender surgery.
This voice is unusual in that she’s a feminist lesbian, against strict gender roles but honest that most women have a nurturing instinct men have less, and that it is based on the fact that they alone have babies. And she’s against saying that biological sex and gender is as fluid as changing your clothes and mannerism. She also opposes the idea of mentally ill men defining femininity as dresses, makeup, avoiding whole categories of activities, in essence defining feminine as the most old-fashioned stereotypes.
Of course, it’s satire. But someone ought to send a letter to the editor “seriously” suggesting that the “mother” undergo forcible court-ordered transgender surgery herself, becoming the recipient of a large black cadaver penis, as a therapeutic approach to help her deal with her own issues.
That ought to get them going.
I hear you....
Read through the site. It is satire. One of the articles is titled “5 new reasons to be disappointed with your vagina.”
Satire definitely raunchy old satire. If I haven’t said it before and I know I have said it before, I hate satire. I don’t get the point of it. What or who are they making fun of? Are they making fun of someone or something? What is the whole point? I prefer that which is true not that which is satire. I understand true, even if I don’t agree with it either.
Not so sure it’s satire. Or let’s put it this way: they either also wrote 215 satirical comments or none of the commentors (real people) seem to know it’s satire.
Camille is a smart cookie.
IF it is not satire, then it is child abuse.
Munchausen’s. Someone needs to rescue the kids from these kooks.
This woman needs to be committed to a mental institution.
Ariana, thank you for your touching letter. Truly the phrase, “a mother knows best”, has never been more appropriate than here. No one wants a white, CIS male child, and the people who pretend they do are merely deluding themselves.But do no fret. There is still time for your child to see the light of femininity. One of the best ways to do this is to deprive them of male clothing, toys, TV programming, ect. If they never know toxic masculinity exist then it cannot tempt and/or hurt them.
I realize it can be difficult to completely block out offending influences, but that’s when you need to sit your child down and explain to them all of the ills in the world perpetuated by men. Explain why they don’t want to identify in such a way, and it’s also important for the child’s father to reinforce these ideas. It is up to “Xer” to demonstrate that femininity is the way to go, and will be the only acceptable route for them to identify as under your roof. When you interact with the child’s father, always be the dominant force, and allow your child to witness that. Even if “Xer” does not identify as a male, it’s important for your child to see that even the micro-displays of masculinity should be snuffed out at the root before they spread like the cancer that they are.
Let me just congratulate you on taking a proactive and progressive stance in your parenting. It is mothers like you that are helping usurp the disease of masculinity and dismantle the patriarchy at it’s very core.
That truly is the take-home message from this, series, or not.
Never too early to start hormone treatment, maybe remove his male parts also./sarc
look inside the front of its underwear and you will know exactly which sex he/she is.....clue: external plumbing, male sex, internal plumbing, female sex.....There are female truck drivers and male hairdressers, don’t get carried away with your own inane concepts.
“5 reasons to be unhappy with your vagina” indicates this is a satire site.
Saki wrote a short story called “The Toys of Peace” in which the pacifist parents give their two children “peace toy” and the kids turn them into war games.
These two people are crazies!
