This trans mom did not go anywhere that I could not have gone. Ideology is an incredibly powerful thing. Feed back loops, cognitive distortions, tautologies, ideological mind traps - anyone who believe he is not subject to such is leading an unexamined life. We who despise and resist the horrid trans movement would like to believe that we could NEVER fall into such error. I never have, and I never will, fall into that PARTICULAR error. But I could. I am designed to so do. Any of us could - and those who deny it, more so.

I believe that in a good many of these cases the parent or parents are projecting their own unrealized desires on their kids to "transition" or "gender affirm". Most parents naturally want their kids to have and experience things they never could or did in their own lives, so they project this on their kids.

Then you have the parent(s) that passionately wanted a child of the opposite gender than what they ended up with. They then plant the seeds at an early age in their kid's heads to go down that road and even encourage it with the slightest perceived prompts from their child. Just because your three year old son wants to play dress up in his older sister's clothes one day, it doesn't mean he really wants to be a girl... but if mom really wanted another daughter (or even didn't want a son) then she picks up that ball and runs with it. 

Either scenario falls back to the "normalization" of the abnormal that we see in our society today making this behavior not only acceptable, but warranted, and in more and more cases, even encouraged.

It is, as the lady in the beginning of the video stated, a cult type mindset. The "group" welcomes you with open arms, support, and encouragement. They confirm that you're "doing the right thing" by facilitating your adolescent's transition. 

The social circle is formed and they get sucked into it... just like a cult.
