EVERY single fucking Daily Mail anti-trans headline that pretends that it’s So Concerned For The Children is essentially just a bunch of dogwhistles and code words for “transgender minors should be forcefully detransitioned so that they can be more easily broken to the will of their abusive parents”. The idea of trans teenagers that pursue transition out of their own free will is anathema to the conservative worldview both in that they truly desire to will transgender people out of existence, but also in that the idea of teenagers exerting any free will and defiance of parental authority is horrifying to editors and readers who believe that children are meant to be their parents’ property.
