I reckon it’s more that gay panic particularly in respect to kids being “turned gay” if they see the wrong music video or whatever (“it’s just a phase she is going through at uni”) has finally become so generally unacceptable in many Western places (nowhere near most or all) that this is the next step - it’s always about general disquiet towards progressivism, especially in culture, and the only battleground they feel safe on warring it is protecting children/teens.

This is a good summary of the history of UK transphobia. Despite Nine/Fairfax's latest turn I'm still fairly optimistic about the trajectory of trans rights here overall - a lot of state governments have made important reforms with birth certificates recently, Queensland is planning to soon as well, and even a concerted campaign from the Murdoch press and the Christian right wasn't enough to get the Morrison government to take up their fearmongering about CHILDREN BEING TRANSED.

Is proliferation of Terfism on parenting sites due to the conflict between "Parent identity" where you think of the child as yours and an extension of yourself, and the realisation that the child is actually their own person?
I don't know if that adequately expresses what I'm trying to say.

How is she still in power?

In November last year NSW deputy coroner Derek Lee found “it was neither necessary nor appropriate for David to be moved and that he did not pose a security risk." He said: "From a medical point of view there was no evidence of any acute condition which would have warranted a cell transfer." However, he said none of the five guards should face disciplinary action. Their conduct, Lee said, “was limited by systemic efficiencies in training” and was “not motivated by malicious intent”. But the Dungay family said they will fight for somebody to be made accountable for his death. “It’s plain and simple, the use of force was a contributing factor to his death,” Dungay’s nephew, Paul Silva, told Guardian Australia. “If you take that use of force out, would David Dungay still be alive today? ”

I imagine it's that plus a lot of their expectations of who their child was/is going to become get thrown out of the window. Except rather than go "oh, guess I got it wrong" and bonding with/appreciating their child differently, they instead flip out and insist their child is "just being difficult" or "going through a phase" for not fitting into a societal mould.

it seems to come out of nowhere to the parent (like the complaint about their son being "happy playing with girl's toys as a child"), and partially this is because sometimes trans people don't start feeling that way until they hit puberty (i don't know if there's any at all decent studies about childhood vs adolescent onset prevalence), but also it's often because the child has correctly identified the parent is the sort of person who's going to react badly and thus deliberately hides things that may be a 'sign' from the parent. there's been a big push by transphobes to try to discredit adolescent onset gender dysphoria as completely invalid under the term "rapid onset gender dysphoria" which basically just means the parent was surprised and is convinced their child is just very confused/is trying to be trendy/rebelling/all those exact talking points from the terrible SMH opinion piece.

This does sound exactly the same situation as gay kids and their parents in, say, the '90s.

"Don't be afraid, don't be scared"

An accidental win for the environment.

Mr Jackamarra was found hanged in a cell in Broome at 2.10pm on 16 December 2015, four hours after a routine court appearance. He was awaiting paperwork to be released on bail. He was taken to hospital but unable to be revived. He had been discharged from a mental health service three days earlier. When the West Australian Department of Corrective Services called Jackamarra’s father to say his son had died in custody, they were initially unable to tell him his son’s first name or clarify which of his sons had died. It was listed for a callover on 3 August 2018.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
