Growing up a Tomboy

Not long ago, a girl could act as 'boyish' as she wished.  Then, no-one would have dreamed of mutilating her body and compromising her health in order to attempt to turn her into something she can never be.

This is a post from 'Political Posting Mumma,' an activist against the damaging fad of  'transgender.'

She speaks of growing up a a tomboy.

"People would call me a Tomboy and I would ask them, “what even is that? Who says girls can’t do whatever they want?” "

This lady is convinced that if she'd been growing up now, she would have found herself being 'transitioned.'

Luckily,  she grew up before the wickedness took hold.   'I am so grateful, I was left to be me.'

The full story  is very much worth reading.

"For most of my childhood I was considered a Tomboy.
My friends were mostly boys.
I climbed trees and built tree houses and was often a bit grotty from collecting bugs and playing in the dirt. I hated pretty dresses. I had short hair for a number of years and I absolutely detested the colour pink! When I was 8 I received a much wanted real tool box so I could build things, hopefully with my dad who liked to build when he wasn’t working. He worked a lot. And build things I did. I had a train set until I was 13. I had a motorbike and dreamed of owning a Harley Davidson one day...

When I was at my single mum’s home, I played the role of the man when it came to finding out what the loud noises were in the house, and taking out the spiders and comforting her when she needed it. I also fought off my mum’s attackers on more than one occasion. I was the “man of the house” so to speak.

As a young person I was always quite opinionated and a bit mouthy. Traits that have no doubt held me in good stead in this recent battle. I loved wrestling and play fighting and would often beat the boys, (until they all hit puberty of course).

People would call me a Tomboy and I would ask them, “what even is that? Who says girls can’t do whatever they want?”

I started the first girl indoor soccer team in my area. I played footy and was quite good at it, until the boys were told they weren’t allowed to tackle me anymore and so obviously the game lost any interest for me. I was angry at the injustice at the time but no other girls at my school wanted to form a team, so I let footy go and moved on.

So this issue is probably a little more personal for me than maybe for others. Although I’m sure many of you can relate in some way or another. Biological gender may be binary but gender expression is definitely not.

I am absolutely convinced that if this agenda was around when I was growing up, I would have been transitioned. I’m convinced my mother who quite possibly has (undiagnosed) munchausen by proxy and is as politically left leaning and “progressive” as it gets, would have embraced this medicalisation of gender dysphoria.
Convinced.
I was put in a wheelchair and hospitalised as a child with an illness that miraculously disappeared.
Amongst other examples.

Incidentally, I was a fairly late bloomer, but by the age of about 16 I discovered and embraced my more feminine side.
I gave up trying to be the boy I thought my father always wanted and may have loved more than he seemed to love me. I started to wear a bit of lippy and flirted profusely with the opposite sex and this was often reciprocated. I also found my first real teenage bestie girlfriend and I loved and enjoyed our non competitive friendship. I wore my hair long and started to get more into fashion for my newfound curves. I sold my motorbike for $100 so I could buy a pair of Doc Martins. That guy got a bargain and I was so irritated to find he ended up being one of my biggest trolls through the marriage campaign. That bike was worth at least a thousand bucks! 🙄

I digress.
I am so grateful, I was left to be me.
At 20, after a failed suicide attempt, I gave my life to Jesus and found a path of complete happiness. This new life perspective meant that almost over night all that I wanted was to be a wife and a mum and to create a home that I had always craved for Marijke the broken and lonely little girl. I found my inner strength and life’s purpose and it wasn’t to be angry and aggressive anymore. I could relax and just be me. The evolving me. But the me I may have always been if circumstances and my often traumatic childhood had have been different. Or who knows, I may have always liked “boy things” whatever they even are...

Anyway, I suddenly dreamed of being a Nurturer, a mother, a home maker and I met men through my church network that made me believe that not all men were bad or disloyal or absent or abusive. I met my now husband who helped me understand that there were men who had integrity and loyalty and who did not look at women (and especially not at little girls) as objects for their sexual gratification. He won’t even look at another woman inappropriately and even turns away when there are underwear ads! This was astonishing to me. All the men I’d known were into porn. We are now raising sons who honour women the same way.

I’m convinced that how I presented saved myself from lots when we lived in a bikie club house with my mum, her biker partner and my sisters. It may have even been subconscious. Who knows.

With the new life I felt through my spiritual conversion I was able to soften my masculine defensive side and embrace all the innate feminine qualities that are so special and unique and that really were also there within me all along but I had no doubt locked away.

If the Trans-Agenda were around when I wanted desperately to be a boy, I would have been permanently physically mutilated. I would have been sterilised. I would have had my healthy breasts removed and tried to sculpt my body through plastic surgery into a way that I felt my personality was “supposed” to look.

Perhaps saddest of all, I would have never had the ability to have my four, precious beautiful children who have given me a richness to love and depth and breadth to the meaning of life that often overwhelms me and has certainly saved me when my PTSD flares up. They are also the reason I continue to fight and why I was so angry when the state decided to sexualise them with the comprehensive sexuality nonsense. I know first hand what depriving a child of their childhood and innocence does. I have protected my kids.
I am a mumma warrior!

I know that not all women can have biological children and I mourn for those women and share this with compassion for them, but to take this away from a little girl permanently is absolutely despicable. Or a little boy for that matter.

And as someone who has also dealt with children who have had suicidal ideation due to genetic anxiety disorders, I simply cannot accept the fear of suicide as an acceptable reason to do this to kids. Not now. Not ever.

I have poured my heart out because I hope this message goes out into the world. This agenda is not ok. Let kids be kids!

Let little girls play soccer and let little boys do ballet. Who cares. I thought we won that battle! What even is all of this??
Do not castrate them and deprive them of a peaceful future or their human right to procreate if they so choose.
Deal with their minds and hearts and traumas and pains and love them, don’t mutilate them.
And definitely do not mainstream this radical ideology so little girls and little boys from broken homes get caught in the cross fire.
Enough is enough!
Please share."

**********

My first book was about a eunuch. The idea started when we had our beloved young dog desexed - what most responsible owners do. Our dog sulked for a few days afterwards, but then accepted it. After all, what choice did he have?  

So then came Shuki, a bright ten-year-old boy from the slums of a city in Arabia. According to my novel, that was in the 1970s, not in ancient times.

'Not a Man' was published in 2011 - just eight years ago.  But in the years before, when I was researching the effects of the pre-puberty castration of a normal boy, there was almost nothing about it.  I did discover there were a lot of men who had castration fantasies, some of whom would go to extremely painful lengths to make their fantasy into reality.  And I discovered there were some choir boys who would beg for the operation in order to preserve their voice.


But the idea of castrating a healthy boy, especially pre-puberty, was regarded as a wickedness not to be even considered.  And yet here we are in 2019, and it is accepted, though called 'transitioning' rather than 'castration,'  and the boys are called 'girls' rather than eunuchs.  

Speculation is growing about the number of future law suits there will be from those whose bodies are damaged when they were still children.  I expect there will be many.  

Girls cannot turn into boys.  Boys cannot turn into girls.

The Transgender Fad

Boys can grow up to be men, or they can grow up to be messed up men. They cannot grow up to be women. They can never be mothers.

It does not mean that little boys cannot play with dolls, or wear pink if they are so inclined. When they grow up, they can be what they want, even if it is in a job usually thought of as for females.

Girls. They can grow up to be women, or they can grow up to be messed up women. They cannot grow up to be men. They can never be fathers.

That does not mean that little girls cannot play with trucks and when they are big enough, they can be whatever they want, even be a soldier if they can meet the fitness requirements. Or maybe they can tackle other jobs in which females are under-represented, like sewer workers or garbos.

The picture to the left is from 1959. Little girls fifty years ago were not invariably dressed 'pink and frilly' as they seem to be now. Rubber boots for muddy play, and overalls - freedom for girls as well as boys.


Is the 'pink and frilly' standard dress part of the reason that some girls are revolting and saying that maybe being a boy is better?
 

Children must be free to be what they want - within reason. But children should never, ever be encouraged to mess up their bodies with unrealistic expectations. It is criminal that in certain circles, that seems to be exactly what is happening these days. It is bunkum to speak of someone being 'born in the wrong body.' It is not possible to be born into any body but your own.

There have always been 'Trannies,' though the abbreviation stood for transvestites, not 'Transgender.' That is a new fad.

Some stories I have heard just recently.
A husband and wife, who both decided to change sex, and now they are wife and husband.
A mother and son, who both decided to change sex, and now they are father and daughter.
A young man who decided to change sex, and is now a competitive football player - in women's competitions.

So we are told that it is very rare, and we should be understanding. Rare? So what an amazing coincidence that two in the same family 'discover' that they were the opposite sex all along, and they need to change in order to be happy and fulfilled as they were always meant to be.

But what other motives could there possibly be?

Fashion?

Well, right now, 'coming out' as Transgender is likely to get you considerable attention. You will be seen as 'brave.' You might even get awards.


Catherine McGregor (formerly Malcolm McGregor) was very nearly given the award of 'Australian of the Year' in 2016. The award is supposed to be for someone who has made a particularly valuable contribution to Australia.

McGregor has made achievements. He/she filled a senior position in the army, was prominent in cricket, wrote a book and did some speech-writing, most of those achievements when he was Malcolm.

All the same, was it those achievements that won her consideration for that major award? Or was it mostly because she was transgender? She acknowledged herself that it may have played a part when she complained that she did not win. "I made a criticism about the choice of Australian of the Year based on my personal view that an opportunity had been missed to name an LGBTI Australian. This was poor judgement."


Sporting Success?

A sportsman who never quite made the top in male sport can now decide to be a woman and use his naturally heavier musculature and longer limbs to have a better chance against real women. It seems the only requirement is that their testosterone level, when checked, is lower than a certain point. There is no requirement to have life-altering surgery, and indeed, it is deemed rude and insensitive to even ask.

Hannah Mouncey is a former male Olympian. He/she now calls herself female, and is looking for a women's football club to join. She is 100kg, and 190cm tall. He/she will be in a contact sport playing against women.



Even for the Olympics, it appears the only rule to play as a woman is to have a level of Testosterone below a certain figure. I expect that in the 2020 Olympics, we will see a bit of that. There goes women's sport!


Here is another former man who is likely to be competing in the US Olympics Women's Volleyball team, Tia Thompson.

An easier prison sentence?

If a man in prison declares he is now a woman, he can demand free medication, and can also ask to be transferred to a women's prison. There is a glaring example of the stupidity of this policy. Martin Ponting was convicted of the rapes of two young girls, but once in prison, decided to be a woman instead. So 'Jessica Winfield' was moved to a women-only prison (despite still having a perfectly usable penis) but then had to be isolated because he was making unwanted advances to the real women.

Other motives?

In answer to my criticism of what I see as encouragement to go transgender, a facebook user posted this. It contains some excellent points.


Baccus Olypus ·
"As I recall, Marj, you write novels about a child who had his genitals altered. Many babies are born of indeterminate gender and are assigned a gender by doctors, and even operated on to make the baby one or the other – and that is generally only superficial appearance. So, if a girl is born with male looking organs, she may be classed as a boy. If a boy is born with an extremely small penis, they may register him as a girl, thinking he will have a happier life that way.

I presume someone of your intelligence and strong opinions knows about genetic sexual abnormalities from the standard XX and XY such as X, XXX, XXXX and XXXXX and XXY, XXXY, XYY - Then there are hormonal imbalances, before or after birth.

And then we come to psychological problems that may have less well understood biological bases or may simply be psychological, but still real." 

Baccus is right that newborn babies can have ambiguous genitalia. Almost always a simple check of XX or XY will show what the child is supposed to be. And even if it is a boy who has been 'feminised' in the womb by an imbalance of hormones, or a girl who has been 'masculinised,' it is far better to assign him to his true sex by checking DNA. The variations? Almost always, if there is a Y chromosone, the child will present as a boy. Variations such X, XXX, XXXX and XXXXX and XXY, XXXY? I am not at all sure that some of those exists. Multiple X chromosones, of course, will be girls, though XXXX? Maybe a non viable foetus, I would expect, though I am no expert.

Baccus speaks of doctors assigning babies to the sex they think will suit best, even operating to make them 'fit' better. There have been quite a few boy children who were classed as girls because they had a small penis, or if it happened to be accidentally destroyed, often with a botched circumcision. I remember being horrified when I read that a 'small' penis was anything under an inch long. Surely a newborn boy's penis is only about an inch long!


But that was mostly in the 70s and 80s when there was the conviction among certain 'experts' that a baby was malleable, and could be boy or girl depending on how he was raised.

One tragedy arising from this mistaken idea is well known, and related in the book 'As Nature Made Him: the boy who was raised as a girl' by John Calapinto.


Identical twin boys were born, but one had his penis destroyed at the time of circumcision. The parents were convinced by the 'experts' that he would be perfectly happy if they simply raised him as a girl.

But it just did not work, in spite of an early castration, in spite of the use of hormones, and in spite of some very determined 'counselling' to try and make the boy acknowledge that he was a girl.

The twin brother died of suicide after it was revealed that his sister was really his brother. The young man chose to revert to living as a man. I am not sure if he is still alive.

So no, a baby is not that malleable. Sex is in the brain as well as in the genitals and natural hormones. The above sentence implies that when a boy says that he is 'really a girl,' or vice versa, then that should be catered to. But there are people who say that a limb does not belong to them, and they beg doctors to amputate it. Ethical doctors do not comply. It is better that no person with the belief that a limb does not belong is unnecessarily handicapped, and it is better that those with 'gender dysphoria' accept their sex. They can be 'boyish' girls or 'girlish' boys without taking on the pretence that they have changed sex.

Baccus points out that I wrote a series of books featuring a boy/man who was castrated as a child. But Shuki was not happy about it, and in just the second chapter of the first book, he manages to poison the doctor who performed the operation. Shuki lost the capability of enjoying sex, though he was lucky enough to find love anyway.

My book is fiction. The only reason I can think of to deliberately castrate a male human is if his sex drive is perverse and damaging - for instance, it takes the form of wanting to hurt people.

Or if he is an adult, and wants it. Ten years ago, when I was researching castration and its effects, I looked at a site where many men spoke of their castration fantasies. They wanted to be eunuchs. Then, it was terribly, terribly difficult to find a 'cutter.' Some resorted to self mutilation, trying to destroy their own testicles. Some of the methods described were truly horrific!


But now, if that is what they want, all they need to do is pretend that they are 'a woman in a man's body' and they wish to 'transition.' They can achieve their wish to be emasculated a lot easier now than they could just ten years ago.

But a child or a young man? They are perfectly likely to want to change their minds, and that is not easy. A eunuch will always be a eunuch.

Baccus Olypus
"If people are genuinely ‘recruiting’ then that is obviously wrong. I doubt this is a major problem. I think you quote a knee-jerk reaction to educating people about tolerance and understanding of other people’s problems, which can only be a good thing." 

The trouble is they do seem to be encouraging it. And they are doing it in schools! In Australia, some years ago, the 'Safe Schools' programme was introduced. It was presented as an anti-bullying programme, but within the programme was a great deal of radical gender theory. When parents worked out what was actually happening, they made a fuss, and the federal government forced some changes, removing the more explicit sex education. Does any child really need to model a vagina from plasticine? Does any child really need to have his attention drawn to pornographic sites? Or learn where to get sex toys? The ins and out of anal sex? Even how to disguise your internet history so your parents do not know what you have been researching?
The Victorian state government is more left-wing than most, and when the federal government withdrew funding for the more radical agenda-driven programme, they have funded it themselves instead. It is compulsory in state schools in Victoria. The parents are not permitted to have their child opt out, and they are not kept informed. There is information that the more radical aspects of the programme are quietly making their way back into the teachings in other states, as well.

My information about 'Safe Schools' has mostly come from a mother who calls herself 'politicalpostingmumma' on facebook. This lady originally intended to be anonymous, for fear of a backlash when she spoke out against the pushing of the idea of gender fluidity and other such nonsense notions. 'Politicalpostingmumma' has had death threats, and once her identity was exposed, even her family has been threatened.

And yet she is only saying what is. She reveals what is happening, keeps screen shots of the evidence (often removed when exposed) and she posts references.

Similar programmes are forced on children in other countries, often without informing the parents. I watched a video yesterday of a mother who said she was 'sick with fury.' A photograph had been spotted that showed her five-year-old son wearing a dress, the teacher said, and she had to go to see a counsellor for possible sex reassignment for the child. California, I think it was, by memory.

The mother said that, for a start, it was a football jersey, not a dress, and even if it was a dress, there was no possible reason for 'sex reassignment.'

Of course, there was not. People do not appear to realise that 'sex reassignment' for a boy means castration, chemical to begin with, and later, physical castration. They want to turn these boys into eunuchs! Whether he chooses to have sex with a male or female, a eunuch is going to have his sex drive turned off, and while hormone treatment might restore it to some degree, it will never be the same, as well as increasing the risks of cancer and stroke.

I read a story the other day about a twelve-year-old who was helped to 'transition' to a girl, but within a year, understood that it was a mistake, and is now living as a boy again. But physical damage had been done by the hormones - puberty blockers - and there are very likely going to be permanent consequences of that, even if it is only that he is shorter than he should have been.

His parents were supportive when he decided he wanted to be a girl, just as they were encouraged to be by the sex counsellors. And they were supportive (and probably vastly relieved) when he decided he really preferred to be a boy after all.

It was made too easy. That boy should never have been messed up by adults who were pushing their radical theories onto school children.

Little children like to dress up, and girls' clothes tend to be more interesting than men's clothes. If a small boy puts on a dress or tries mummy's makeup, don't make it more than it is. The little boy pictured is now a doting daddy himself.

If a bigger boy likes to put on women's clothing and wear makeup, he is probably gay. That is fine, nothing wrong with it.

But if he starts pretending that he's really a woman, be polite about it, sure. But he will never really be a woman, and anyone who tries to encourage the gay boy to start 'transitioning' is not doing him a favour.

Let them be gay, but they are still male. And no treatment should be given to any child, male or female, until he is fully adult and can make the decision himself - without being influenced by radical gender theory.

And yet, the politically correct viewpoint these days appears to be the idea that gender is 'fluid' and any boy, no matter the age, who expresses a desire to be a girl, should be catered for. And any girl who expresses a desire to be a boy, likewise should be catered for. So now we hear of small children of five, six and seven changing sex.

Some parents worry that they will find that their child has started to 'transition' without them knowing. In Victorian schools, they are introducing school doctors who can give children medication without informing the parents. But could there be any doctors so irresponsible as to use their power to help a child 'transition?' I guess it rather depends on how they recruit their doctors.

So far, it is only in secondary schools, and probably has more to do with the prevention of pregnancy and the treatment of STDs than it does with transgender issues. I hope so.

Gender is not fluid. You cannot change sex. All you can do is produce confused children, and if the 'transitioning' goes too far, irreversible and serious physical effects.

I am not an expert. I do not need to be. People need to do their own research.

Here are a few references to start with.
