Corey Maison

I have decided to cover Corey for my series on marketing the “transgender” child. You can read that series below 👇. Corey is still only in his twenties but has amassed a huge following across a range of social media.

Marketing the Transgender Child

Corey was a huge sensation in the United States; having produced a viral video focused on anti-bullying. This was seized upon by media organisations who were hungry for stories about “transgender children” . This soon reached the U.K and was featured in the Independent and ITV.

His own mother, subsequently, decided she was also “transgender” which generated even more publicity. She was a heterosexual, married, woman who had given birth to five kids.

The mum became Eric after, amid claims she tried, for decades. to suppress the feeling of being a man trapped in a woman’s body; fantasising about suffering with cancer so she could justify get a double mastectomy.

Corey’s fantasy about being the opposite sex began after he was exposed to the reality series featuring Jazz Jennings, former poster kid for the marketing of “the Transgender child”. Jazz has not had a happy trajectory, he is now severely over weight, struggles to form relationships and, overall, is no longer a positive advert for transgender medicine /surgeries.

There is a lot of debate about the role of the media in driving the phenomenon of the “transgender child”. Many of us believe it is fuelling a social contagion. Conversely pro-trans voices argue that increasingly negative coverage is driving down referrals to gender clinics, as in the article below.

Negative Coverage

The autor’s all have a financial interest in the Gender Identity Industry.

They admit that many of their clients were influenced by positive portrayals in the media. Citing Caitlin Jenner, Chelsea Manning and Eliot Page the author’s concede that increased visibility of “transgender” people was driving up demand.

However, in Sweden a documentary covering people who went on to regret their surgeries had the opposite effect and led to a decrease in referrals of 31%.

Young boys, and girls, who are naturally attracted to things associated with the opposite sex are likely to be more vulnerable to the suggest selling of all things “transgender”. Below 👇 is Corey as a young boy which accompanied an article emphasising his love of all the trappings of femininity: “mascara and lipgloss”.

Screenshot

In his viral video he talks about how he did not fit in at school and was bullied about his atypical interests.

Boys who are like Corey often grow up to be gay boys. This seems never to have been considered as an option. Corey’s parents took him out of school to be educated at home. When he returned to the public school system it was to a different schools and as a “girl”. Corey was allowed to use the girl’s facilities and play on the girl’s sports teams.

Corey was put on puberty blockers, age 11 , followed by cross sex hormones, after being socially transitioned. You can find many interviews with Corey and Eric. There is not much of an up to date media presence, for Eric, but Corey is on instagram, twitter, facebook, YouTube, TikTok and, sadly, Only Fans. He appears to have fallen out with his mum and has been evicted from the family home. This is a post from his facebook account pleading with his mum (who he calls his father) for guidance and referencing her alcoholism.

I am going to blur out some of the more explicit images from Maison’s account but he is clearly posting explicit content on any platform that hosts the images. These pictures may have originated from his only fans but I sourced them from images in the public domain.

Corey is a victim but now acting as a social influencer promoting this ideology to his many followers which is why I covered him. He has been badly let down by his parents, doctors and by society. It is not unusual to see men, who transitioned early, acting out in hyper sexualised ways.All the more tragic since there is a high likelihood that he has damaged his sexual function by following this trajectory.

Kim Petras.

Featured

Petras is of German extraction but moved to the United States, on their own, to pursue a career as a pop star. Following a massive hit with with Non Binary, they/them, Sam Smith, Petras won a Grammy and was billed as the first “transgender” woman to do so. Petras is a huge trans influencer and has an enormous platform to promote “transgender” issues. He has incredibly sexist lyrics and pushes pornified images of women. It is for this reason that I opted to cover him.

Petras began puberty blockade age 10 and played a prominent role in changing German Law to enable him to have surgery on his genitals age 16. Germany is a huge player in the sex lobotomy industry. Below is a graphic from a paper outlining the profits to be made from mutilating healthy bodies.

According to interviews his parents knew he was “transgender” as early as two years old.

He came from a musical family and had two older sisters which may have explained his over identification with the female sex but, clearly, his parents thought otherwise. Petras, who appears to be attracted to males, has expressed outrage that some people questioned whether he could, in fact, be simply gay; which is the main outcome for boys who express their discomfort with their sex from an early age. There is no information, I could find, on whether his parents were dismayed at having a potential gay son.

And yet it appears this is the case. Taken from one of his interviews 👇

Petras was, reportedly, treated by the author of this research paper. 👇

Here are a couple of revealing quotes from the article including some clinicians who argue that “hormone treatment constitutes a therapeutic suppression of a homosexual origination”

Nevertheless Wusthof, rather nobly, expresses his willingness to the take the risk for his patients. (It is not clear why he thinks it is himself who is taking the risk.)

It is worth considering what Marci Bowers had to say about the risks. Bowers himself identifies as “trans”, he is the President of WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) and is himself a surgeon best known for operating on Jazz Jennings. Here are a couple of warnings from Bowers.

Bower’s expressed doubt that anyone who has their puberty blocked, medically, at the same age as Petras would ever attain a fully functional sex life. Not only are they likely to be sterile but they face more problematic surgeries as the penis doesn’t develop sufficiently for a traditional “vaginaplasty”.

More on Bowers in this piece.

Marci Bowers: W.P.A.T.H

Hyper Sexual Content.

With this in mind I am intrigued by the hypersexual content in Petras’s pop career. This is the image on their twitter bio:

The first content that I became aware of was an anthem to materialism: “I want all my clothes designer and I want someone else to buy them”. This was tame compared to the song “My coconuts” which is a celebration of his fake breasts. The last sentence is on the MTV live performance which added the reference to anal sex. Mary Kate and Ashley appears to be a reference to the Olsen twins who were are wholesome Disney performers.

This is one of the promo videos for “Coconuts”.

My Coconuts

Those of you in the U.K may find this all reminiscent of a Benny Hill Sketch. Here is one.👇

Benny Hill

I do not include reference to Benny Hill for trivial reasons. Once men claim to be women we let all sorts of blatant sexism pass under the radar. This is most especially the case with young “transitioners” . The victim to predator pathway is very difficult to recognise /accept.

This is from a period Petras calls the slut pop period and it certainly delivers. Note the lolitaesque staging.

Here are a couple more lyrics from his music.

I will spare you the lyrics from this song. It’s not difficult to guess the reference. (Though some wag on Petras’ YouTube claims it’s an homage to a particular Mongolian Goat Herd with a distinctive singing style).😂

Here is the YouTube in case you want to take a gander. In fairness there are some quite catchy tunes. There is a plethora of repetitive sexual content, presumably, for the shock value. Petras has a huge following among teenage girls.

Kim Petras

The preoccupation with sex is there from some of the interviews. Here he decries the discrimination that sex workers /only fans content creators are subjected to..

In this one he is dismayed that a friend’s mum, who was in the sex exploitation industry, because she was treated so badly by the other kids.

Petras, like a lot of trans activists, is an apologist for the trafficking of woman’s bodies and those of trans identified males.

He also expressed regret that he missed a “hookers convention” and was delighted to be able to buy a commemorative T shirt. Of course it was in Vancouver. 👇

It’s impossible to determine whether Petras is over compensating for impaired sexual function. We are decades away from admissions of this kind where a career depends on it. I am increasingly skeptical of YouTube influencers reports of their sexual function post surgery, even where they were allowed a natural puberty. Petras is undoubtedly a victim but is now also a perpetrator since he promotes this ideology to kids. It is for this reason that he deserves scrutiny.

Transgender Kids: Who knows best?

Featured

This documentary is no longer available on the BBC which is a shame because it is one of the best. You can, however, watch it here:

Kids with Gender Dysphoria

The main focus is on Canada but there is reference to the U.K and an English detransitioner makes an appearance at the end.

The documentary opens with Ella, a very sweet, passing, trans-identifed male. Ellla had puberty blocked and cross sex hormones and, by age 17 they had the surgery formerly known as ”sexual reassignment surgery” but now often labelled ”gender affirming”. This is the preferred term for Norman Spack, another Gender Clinician, who makes an appearance in the documentary, though even he points out it is not possible to change sex. For the young ”transgender” participant their belief system is pure trans-activist speak:

The sacking of Ken Zucker

Ken Zucker was regarded as a world authority in addressing children who present with Gender Dysphoria but trans-activists were not happy that he practiced watchful waiting and talking /play therapy. They successfully campaigned to get him fired. Over 500 clinicians signed a letter in support of Zucker. One of the signatories, Ray Blanchard, talked about the politicisation of this area of practice and the chilling effect arising from his treatment.

Zucker, eventually, received substantial damages from his employer but did not return to his clinic.

Case Studies.

One parent, of a boy called Kareem, talks about her son’s belief he was a girl and how her son had attachment issues after a disrupted childhood. Karim’s mum was a single parent and her family, who had traditional values, were not happy with her early pregnancy. At one point Karim’s mum was overwhelmed herself and left Karim with his grandma. She believes this abandonment led him to over-identify with the female members of his family. She also believes he may simply turn out gay and thinks it is wrong to foreclose his options at such a young age.

Zucker also talks about one female child who had witnessed her mother’s murder and subsequently claimed a male identity. Eventually it became clear that she believed if she had been a boy she may have been able to protect her mother and, as a male, she would be less vulnerable to male violence. Affirmation only approaches don’t explore the subconscious motives for rejecting your birth sex. Zucker believes the affirmative approach is inappropriate and unsophisticated; both intellectually and clinically.

We then meet a little boy called Warner. His mum is confident her child is ”transgender” We get some insight into her thinking when she explains how she knows: Another proto-gay kid who’s parents prefer a girl over a gay son? Warner goes on to explain that he is not comfortable in the boy body and prefers girl toys and clothes. His parents have already ”socially transitioned” their son and are getting ready to put Warner on Puberty Blockers.

There is a revealing moment from Ella’s father who describes his ”daughter” running and explains how Ella has always been a girl. But this is not about sexist stereotypes!

Trans-activists in Canada.

Next we meet the woman responsible for legislation to ban therapeutic approaches to Gender Identity confusion. We first meet Dr Cheri De Novo, also a reverend, preaching about purported ”trans” people from the bible. She carried her messianic zeal outside the church to berate parents for putting their ”prejudice” above the welfare of their child.

Zucker has conducted his own research into suicidality in this demographic. Like the UK Tavistock he concluded that rates were no higher than in any other group with mental health issues. The attack on parental rights runs right through this ideology and Blanchard is right to highlight this within the adult, ”trans” identifying community.

The documentary quotes an activist openly stating that parents can be the problem.

Desistance versus Persistence.

The trans-activists, in this documentary, adopt a much more simplistic analysis. Here is one statement by a female who claims a male identity.

Hershell Russell is a psychotherapist and trans-activist who is delighted with messing with theories that recognise biological sex and those that argue our ”gender” is shaped by the society which we inhabit. Personally, I don’t dismiss either of the theories, in their entirety, I am fine with acknowledging a complex interaction between nature and nurture. Hershell seems to have a mystical belief in the existence of ”transgender” children. This is what she says about one of the parents she spoke to:

Meanwhile Devita Singh, Zucker’s colleague, actually followed 100 children with ”gender dysphoria” and found an 88% desistance rate. What is more she found no distinguishing features that predicted this outcome with any degree of reliability. Some of the more extreme cases did in fact reconcile to their biological sex. Furthermore the most likely outcome was these boys would be gay or bisexual.

Trans-activists don’t like the research that shows the majority of dysphoric males will desist and be ordinary gay males. Zucker goes on to speculate how many of these parents are homophobic. A gay male who ”transitions” can then be described as “heterosexual” which may be more acceptable in some, religious, communities. Ray Blanchard had this to say:

Eugenics?

The documentary examines how sexist, gender stereotypes are embedded in gender identity ideology. They also cover the over-representation of autistic kids who are estimated to be seven times higher in referrals to Gender Clinics. As I have shown in my earlier work there is also a higher than expected rate of kids in care. This makes this movement look like a modern eugenics movement.

Alex and Lou’s story.

Alex’s father resisted any medical intervention for six years. His daughter was referred to Zucker’s clinic. Alex finally found girls who liked playing baseball and this allowed her to reconcile to being a girl with atypical interests. Lou, in the U.K, had competing mental health issues but nobody questioned her conviction she was male. At twenty Lou had a double mastectomy. She now regrets this and laments she will always have the legacy of her testosterone usage, in her voice and facial hair, and no breasts.

Lou’s advice to other girls struggling with their bodies is to get out in the world and find ways to inhabit your sexed body. When she looks back at pictures of her younger self she now realises she was perfect as she was.

Marketing the Transgender Child 3

Featured

This episode will focus on a documentary about a french, male, child called Sasha. Sasha identifies as a girl and the film covers Sasha’s story and that of her mother, Karine, who is portrayed as ”fiercely protective”. The documentary was called Petit Filles and was aired on the BBC.

The film begins with Karine explaining to Sasha’s father that he is not just a boy who thinks he is a girl. He is a girl.

She proceeds to explain that Sasha hates his ”peepee” and has known since he was two or three that he is not a boy. She is not, yet, using female pronouns for Sasha.

This is a familiar script so of course she also believes a girl can be born in a boys body.

There follows an interesting exchange while the father asks if Karine had unconsciously wished for a girl when she was pregnant. She gives a rather candid response. She explains she consciously wished for a girl. This will crop up later when Sasha is taken to a child psychiatrist, at the Gender Clinic. I anticipated this might warrant some exploring but it was not.

Karine talks about how Sasha was heartbroken they were not a girl and ”cried tears of real pain”. She then casts doubt on the birth registration process and how the recording of Sasha’s male sex has robbed Sasha of a future. {Trans activists such as Martine Rothblatt argue that we should not record sex, anywhere. In the U.K. a tax payer funded research project actually explores the “Future of Legal Sex” to explore abolishing it, in law. Alex Sharpe, trans-identifying male, was part of the project team}.

Soon we are in the psychiatrists office and Karine is being reassured that this is not her fault. A parent can’t will a child to be of one sex or the other, though, of course, she doesn’t say sex but ”gender”.

Karine does most of the talking while it is explained that nobody knows why some children feel like this it is ”just the way it is”. Sasha is asked if anything upsets them and shakes his head until his mum brings up that ”time in the bathroom”. They don’t manage to coax much more out of Sasha and his mum speculates about the reason for Sasha’s silence.

The thought did occur to me! Could it be that Sasha knows his role he is, consciously or otherwise, fulfilling his mother’s needs? This deserved some sensitive exploration, not just for Sasha but with Karine. We all project our desires onto our children not all of them healthy.

I won’t enumerate every time someone in the film repeated the propaganda about kids being born in the wrong body but it was frequent. It seemed like a deliberate incantation designed to hypnotise the audience.

I was also struck by his sister’s appearance 👆above. This was a perfectly acceptable presentation, for a girl, but it did make me wonder if Karine had hoped for a more overtly ”girly” daughter and was projecting that desire onto Sasha? Or perhaps they were going through a tumultous period in their relationship, as is often the way with teenage girls and their mums. I saw no curiosity about the dynamics, potentially, at play in this documentary.

Next we see an exchange about medical steps for Sasha. One would hope there had been some off screen exploration not included but looking at Sasha’s appearance this discussion seems to have happened quite quickly. The therapist discusses putting Sasha on puberty blockers. At least she does admit there are some gaps in the knowledge base around puberty blockers but it is quite shocking to see someone as young as this making decisions that could render them sterile.

There were two interesting asides about Sasha’s relationship with other girls. Here the therapist asks Sasha how the other girls relate to him.

The more interesting question is how does Sasha relate to other girls. We see him playing with a bespectabled friend at his house. They are playing princesses. For some reason Sasha decides its a beauty competition and there follows this exchange with his little friend. He seems to be unpleasantly competitive with his friend.

Obviously he is just a child but I wonder if this reflects an insecurity about the role he is being asked to play?

Now we are back to his mum recounting an episode where Sasha was ejected from his ballet class. Apparently the teacher was not happy to have him in the class with other little girls.

Karine recounts this tale to the psychiatrist as an ugly, humiliating episode and explains the teacher is Russian.

The response from the therapist sounds like vengeful activist speak rather than a measured response from a clinician. Bearing in mind Sasha is in the room, at this point.

Before I leave this I read an interview with the documentary maker. Its clear he admires Karine battling on behalf of their child and facing opposition from all quarters. He admires how the family have rallied round to provide a protective bubble for Sasha. He even notes a tender moment where the other son tells his mum he understands why Sasha has to be the focus of her attention. A good therapist would explore whether Sasha’s situation is filling an unmet need for his mum. A need to be admired as a champion for her son and a good mum. This quote might provide some insight into one aspect of her motivation:

I will leave the final word to the documentary maker who opens up about what compelled him to cover this issue. It turned out he had covered a famous, French, transsexual called Bambi. Bambi had told him he knew he was a girl aged three. He decided he wanted to cover trans children. It also had some personal significance based on his own childhood, as we learn.

Becoming school marble champion seems like a healthy way to affirm your worth; as a boy who has a variant way of expressing your masculinity. Going on medication that sterilises you and becoming a life long medical patient seems like a mal-adaptive coping mechanism and not one that should be rushed into. How many ”feminine” boys are simply gay?

The jury is still out on what happens to these children who are socially /medically transitioned by a Tiger Mummy.

This is the third in a series on transgender kids. I will add to this but will also look at the promotion of transgender teens. Especially interesting are the older trans-identified males, who promote child transition, and seem to be driven by a type of retrospective wish fulfilment.

This is from a video promoted by the ACLU, an organisation that has morphed from a respected civil rights organisation into a trans lobby group. This is promoted on YouTube. You can watch it here:

Kai Shappley

Kai is born to a Texas mum who is of a Christian Evangelic persuasion who, by her own admission spent years saying homosexuals should go to hell. Well, to be accurate, she now says she spent years condemning ”LGBTQ” people but judge for yourself what seemed to be her major preoccupation.

Kai was not interested in the pursuits favoured by his older brothers. He showed a preference for pursuits which led his mum to fear he would be gay. Here she is saying this in an interview:

In the video she is explicit about these fears and the lengths the family went to discourage Kai from his atypical male behaviours; which are not unheard of for a boy who will grow up to be a gay male. Kai was scolded, given time-outs and slapped, slapped hard for not conforming: “I thought this kid might be gay and I thought that could not happen. It would not happen”.,

It gets worse. She then started praying and googling Gay Conversion therapy and working out how she could deploy these strategies at home.

Could it be that Kai saying he was a girl is the answer to her prayers?

The mum gets a lot of media attention when she accepts Kai as a girl. Predictably this is accompanied by her son begging Jesus to take him if he can’t be a girl and a reference to the dodgy suicide statistics which are a feature of cult tactics.

We are then treated to some plaintive entreaties from sweet Kai about a school policy which insists on sex based toilet facilities. Alternative arrangements are made for Kai, but, of course, now he is being told he is really a girl this must feel stigmatising. The problem is social transition not girl’s need for privacy but you would have to have a heart of stone to resist young Kai, or do you? Feels like emotional manipulation of Kai’s likely real distress by his mum and, likely the transgender lobby groups that are prepared to use a gender non-conforming potential gay boy, to push their agenda.

If I had any lingering doubts about the agenda here let us return to his mum. Here she is attending a, filmed, speaking engagement apologising for hurting the LGBTQ community. In order to atone for her sin she makes the ridiculous claim that her child would be forced into the ”mens”. In reality mums take their little boys in to the female toilets at Kai’s age.

In conclusion. How certain are we that we are not witnessing an Evangelical Christian who is using ”Better a live daughter, than a dead son“ in public while really, consciously, or otherwise, the phrase ”Better a daughter than a gay son” is more appropriate for what she is doing.

Marketing the Transgender Child 1

Featured

In the past decade we have seen a viral marketing campaign to convince our children it is possible to be born in the wrong body. Given how many politicians, media pundits, academics and medical doctors have fallen for this, relentless, propaganda is it any wonder our young believe it?

The first example, on mainstream television, was I Am Leo. I still am shocked that BBC Children’s television pumped this out to our kids when we thought they were in safe hands.

I cannot do better than this guest post, via Transgender Trend so I will link this critique y Helen Saxby: Full article linked below and and excellent quote that summarises the problems with I am Leo:

I am Leo

The programme got a glowing write up by an organisation called the Children’s Media Foundation who boast influence with the All Parliamentary Group on Children’s media. Indeed the public inquiry contact for the APPG is a member of staff from the Children’s Media Foundation. At the time both John Nicholson and Connor Burns sat on this APPG, both have been particularly vocal on transgender issues. Phillip Pulman, another person in thrall to Transgender Ideology, was also a patron of the foundation.

They produced a year book in 2015 which, as well as an article by the head of children’s BBC, included an interview with the Cat Lewis, Executive Producer of ”I Am Leo”.

Cat Lewis was very proud of the fact this was the first programme about a transgender child to be broadcast in the U.K.

Cat Lewis talks candidly of the nervousness of the BBC when first pitched the idea. They were persuaded, in part, because Leo was already out in public and therefore the programme would not be revealing Leo as a female, in the media, for the first time.

The programme featured Leo holding the passport they had defaced for correctly recording her as a female. In a pattern I have come to expect, Leo had a history of being bullied. Leo was also supported by the Trans lobby group ”Press for Change”. So, not just a random kid of off the street.

Because Leo, we are told, had already been ”living as a boy” for some years (which appears to mean short hair, liking football and rejecting female sex stereotypes) the producer needed a different narrative arc. This turned out to be working with the Tavistock Gender Clinic to showcase the new treatment of blocking Puberty. This is the part with glaring inaccuracies. The series includes some cute graphics to illustrate the ”pause” and Polly Carmichael explicitly stating the following:

A statement somewhat at odds with a near contemporaneous statement made to the, putative, grown up media: “We don’t have the evidence”.

The show was a media success, garnering awards for the team, which is surely their raison d’etre and not the provision of accurate media portrayals for kids.

Alice Webb, of the BBC waxes lyrical about the role of CBBC in these clips from her interview, in the same document. How many parents knew that CBBC were pushing boundaries with our kids by feeding them the nonsense they can be born in the wrong body? She is proud of the role of the BBC in ”shaping” our kids’ lives. A grave responsibility which the BBC betrayed with this trans propaganda.

This is the first part of a series on the marketing of the Transgender child, Its just product placement at this point.
