The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children dates back well over a century. It was granted a Royal Charter, by Queen Victoria, in 1895. The NSPCC is the only UK charity which has been granted statutory powers under the Children Act 1989, allowing it to apply for care and supervision orders for children at risk. Childline, the charity founded by Esther Rantzen, became part of the NSPCC in 2006.
ChildLine Queer Bodies
This is the fourth in a series looking at ChildLine content and how it promotes Transgender Ideology to children /teens. Gender Identity Ideology saturates their content. Some examples are more egregious than others. This interview 👇, for example, has some good content. It begins with a discussion about pressures on children / teens in the Queer community or LGBTQ+. The subject of the interview would appear to be a Gay male (Roly) who formerly identified as a twink and now has moved on to identify as non-binary and Gender Fluid.

Pressures on Gay Men
It begins well. The two discuss pressure on Gay men to present as “preened and buff“. Roly highlights an internal contradiction. He finds these images appealing whilst, simultaneously, acknowledging the pressure it generates. He is also keen to point out that he doesn’t judge people on their bodies. Nevertheless he felt drawn to identify as a twink because it best fits his body type. One requirement of the twinkdom was to remain skinny and, Roly reveals, this did lead him into an eating disorder. There is increasing research into eating disorders in gay men so this is an important point to make. We are much more aware of eating disorders in females, and too little attention is given to pressures on homosexual males. If you are attracted to your own sex, who you find attractive may foster self-criticism on how you measure up to your own erotic target. This is a particular pressure for same sex attracted males that is worthy of consideration. If you are a femme gay male attracted to hyper masculine men, could this pressure motivate a retreat from identifying as male? I would have liked to see that explored here.
Alana does, at least, recognise the existence of Lesbian women who, she suggests, “may feel she has to be a lipstick lesbian or a butch lesbian”. Unfortunately marred by the preceding comment that these pressures co-exist with “trying to work out what your gender is” . My rejoinder is that 10 years ago this pressure didn’t exist! It’s ubiquity, now, shows every sign of being iatrogenic, Endless content, such as this, in the ChildLine youtube channel is fostering this disassociation from biological reality.
Segues into Trans Identity.
Thus, after a token consideration of the L & G, the conversation moves on to claim how much harder this is for Trans people. The remainder of the interview is all about the T. This seems to be the standard trajectory, a nod to the homosexual community, quickly followed by discussion diverting to yet more Transgender Ideology.
Non-Binary /Gender Fluid
Roly then informs us that he finds it difficult to accept that he is non-binary because he failed to have androgynous role models. Perhaps he should have dug a little deeper into the history of gay men and Gender Non-conforming women? 👇
After he came out as Gender Fluid, he informs us, “people would look at me and be like but you look you’re a man and so it was a long long journey for me”. A good therapist, at this point, would perhaps unpick what underpins this claim to be Gender Fluid. It’s clearly not the way they present and nobody would interpret him as anything other than a biological male.
ChildLine on YouTube
Another feature of these videos is how effusive the interviewers are about YouTube as a source for support and information. Roly is not alone in saying how much YouTube content helped him find role models. The better approach would be to reference to how prominent YouTubers carefully curate their content to present an image to their subscribers. Their platform built on an identity and maintaining it can be vital to continued revenue streams. Typically the Transgender content will be celebratory, not critical. A children’s charity should offer a more skeptical commentary on social influencers. Instead their marketing team seem to be have won the day and collaborations with social media influencers are commonplace.
Gendered Bodies?
Roly provides a rather messianic rant about the imposition of bodily expectations on cross-gendered identities. Forget what you thought you knew about transsexuals. There is no longer any expectation, on people who reject their biological sex, to make any effort to assimilate. The expectations are now on society, to unlearn biological facts, to accept people for who they say they are. Roly provides this advice/instruction for how to live in the New World Order.
Without a shred of self-awareness this is what Alana thinks she has done with this interview.
Teaching children not to obsess ❌. Teaching children to accept themselves ❌.
Nope. This is exactly the opposite of what you achieved with this interview.
ChildLine content is not fostering self-acceptance. It is contributing to the inculcation of Gender Dysporia, Bodily disassociative disorders and relentlessly pushing Gender Identity Ideology. I wonder if Esther Rantzen has had a look at it lately?
