A story about a trains child: Two interpretations

https://news.sky.com/story/i-dont-want-to-grow-facial-hair-transgender-girl-eight-has-sleepless-nights-about-growing-up-as-a-boy-12586845

In this we have a YouTuber who, over the course of his YouTube career seems to have pivoted away from shitposting into "more serious" videos about -- what else of course -- gender and mental health.

Now a big soybearded 40-year-old cishet white dude, he's taken the only road available to him and has declared himself non-binary and transed his son.

Seriously, read some of this horrifying shit:

Jonathan spoke of how Edie had told him of "sleepless nights" after seeing a video about puberty.

She [his male child] told him "I don't want to grow facial hair", and asked him: "I'm going to have babies when I grow up, right? I'm going to be a mummy?"

"As a parent, I don't know how to answer that question because it's really sad to see a child just questioning it all," Jonathan said.

I mean, I guess the answer is you just lie to your child and tell him, no sweaty, you can be a girl and have babies and titties and no beard and live life on easy mode just like mommy!

"And then you get cisgendered people who have no experience to say that's wrong."

Darn right I have no experience in confusing and grooming my son into believing he will be a mother one day. Can still tell a fricked up groomer-abuser when I see one though.

So that's my interpretation. I wonder what the :!marseytrain:s of /r/transgenderUK think of it?

Proof the media can post decent and positive stuff when they want to!

The bit where she says about wanting to be a β€˜mummy’ and have β€˜babies’ has broken meπŸ’”

The part about being a mother really broke me, I transitioned relatively young and the fact Ill never have my own children still is very raw.

As expected, it's all super wholesome. A few concerns about using the trans child to support their YouTube career, but no concerns about two trans identities just suddenly popping up and leading to YouTube success.

So once again we see how it never happens but when it does happy it's super wholesome, despite two trains above expressing the deep distress that sterilising themselves at a young age brought on.

This child needs therapy, but unfortunately trains are campaigning to ban it. Grooming your toddler into believing he's a girl because he doesn't want a beard is super wholesome. But trying to rollback that childhood dysfunction is heckin hate crime.

Every time I try to be less transphobic, trains somehow make me even more so.

Edit: found a very sensible and insightful take from a train forum. Apparently this guy is the exploitative influencer type I suspected:

I'm going to have babies when I grow up, right?

Hopefully yes! Progresses in modern medicine will be able to allow her to get pregnant. My colleagues and I are already working on a procedure to implant an uterus to a neo-vagina, unfortunately difficulties with TERFs reluctant to donate their uterus to Science and anti-ethical transmisic laws are slowing down our efforts greatly.

Imagine how confused that kid will be if he ever watches the Schwarzenegger movie where he gets pregnant.

Hollywood would never make a comedy about anything remotely close to a train issue. They'd make it a super serious drama about a team of scientists struggling with their own locomotive issues developing a train birthing pill. Which might have comedic value in and of itself.

I can just see gangs of stubble faced balding :marseytrain2:s covered in surgical scars ambushing biofoids to harvest them for their organs to aid in their transition like something out of Bioshock.
