Can I strongly encourage you to watch the Channel 4 programme Trans Kids: It’s Time to Talk. It was broadcast last night, but you can see it on All 4 for the next 29 days.
The programme is presented by a woman who many years ago insisted on being a boy, though without any of the puberty blockers, hormone treatment etc that is available today. Because she had not taken puberty blockers when puberty set in she started to come to terms with being a woman, and is now perfectly happy in her body.
Stella O’Malley, the presenter, is not anti-transgender, and this makes the programme all the more effective. There are several positive aspects of the programme.
One is factual, it helps you to realise what the “trans journey” actually involves.
You here of the attempts to shut down debate on whether the approach being taken by society is actually a wise approach, or whether it is highly dangerous. The attempts to shut it down come both from trans activists and from official bodies, like universities.
It helps you realise that the people involved are real people, and it makes you want to weep. Indeed, at the end of the programme Stella was weeping.
I would hope that all the politicians who so keenly promote the TIE initiative and similar plans watch this programme. Maybe they will think a little more deeply about the path they are taking this nation on.
And may Christ fill our hearts with the love, compassion, truth and wisdom that we need.
