I for one am thrilled that we finally have some orange representation in the white house.
Snooki is probably glad that her voice is being heard.

I'd like to hear one of these people explain why they think kids can't consent to using their genitals in the ordinary way, but can consent to have them chopped off entirely.
75% of pediatric transitioners are FTM, but everyone knows they are girls, most of them would otherwise be lesbians, so no one gives a shit. Plus the transition is pretty boring, FTMs wear practical clothing and play sports or whatever, while MTF transition includes all kinds of fashion and glitter. I honestly think people like stories of boys growing up to be whatever they want, even if what they want to grow up to be is a girl. It is weird. Even parents and childcare workers give babies totally different treatment based on sex, and "trans" kids get treated like their natal sex when people know that they are trans. Deep down people don't buy this shit.Can someone explain to me as to why when someone is transiting it's always male to female?

Its the same for adult troons. The only time adult FTMs are ever in the news is for having babies, and they are rarely politicians or people of note. We only know chaz bono because Cher is their mom. MTFs are politicans and celebrities on their own.
There's also the fact that FTMs have an easier time blending in really, really, really well. Testosterone's basically magical man potion -- once you're done, unless your clothes come off, you generally look and sound exactly like a cis dude. With really famous MTFs, they tend to be either supermodels or still identifiable to some degree as biologically male. From an outside perspective, that's less "boring."
I'd say this represents an ... idealized version of the typical FTM. Some can pass in photographs, but their voices are bizarre and the median height of an American woman is 5'4. Men that short, especially ones with strange voices, stick out like sore thumbs even if they can grow a big beard.
They'll be viewed as younger than they really are.Eh...it seems like the ones with those odd, buzzy, in-between voices are either still in the process of transitioning or drew the short end of the stick. Buck Angel's still kind of got one going on, but it's not really bizarre -- he just sounds gay. Even then, a short, bearded man with an odd voice is going to stand out, but not nearly as much as what looks to the public like a guy in a dress.

There's plenty of people who go FtM, or who go MtF without being shitheads about it
I don't think the height is as big an impediment to passing as you might think, because it's not like there aren't short guys. Certainly it's noticeable, but there's a difference between 'hey, that guy's really short' and 'hey, that's a woman'. It's the female figure that's the problem, and if you're short you're going to have to put more work into changing it, but I don't think it's insurmountable.I'd say this represents an ... idealized version of the typical FTM.

Eh, the schizophrenic way that boy/girl gendered shit is being treated is part of the problem. You can have a person arguing that a boy playing with dolls/girl playing with hotwheels is good and not a sign at all and have them 15 seconds later arguing that if a boy plays with dolls/girl plays with hotwheels is a sign that they’re trans.Maybe the kid doesn't want to be a girl but he is interested in dresses and girly things but hasn't grasped the concept that you don't have to be a girl to enjoy "girl things". It's lessened considerably, but our culture does gender certain activities, and parents continue to do that whole "girls don't play in the dirt" and "boys don't play with dolls" bullshit. Like I said, he may not even want to be a *girl* but do "girl things". He may not even be trans but a future crossdresser. There's also the possibility that it's simply a phase. I'm not sure how you would approach your child who is going through such a "phase", but I can tell you with absolute certainty that reacting violently to the kid trying on clothes of the opposite sex is how you get future serial rapist-murderers.
I was able to find some updates on the family. Seems that she no longer posts on the blog because she's actually become somewhat of a public figure.
She did this podcast episode earlier in 2017, where she spoke about the challenges of being a mother to a trans child. The photos of the child are definitely the same child from the trans-toddler blog.
She's also described as an "LGBTQ activist" in this story from April 2017 that describes the exact situation detailed on the trans-toddler blog.
And it gets even better. Here's a YouCaring fundraiser set up earlier in 2017, after the child was apparently removed from the mother's custody.

In a later update to the YouCaring fundraiser, she mentions that DCFS accuses her of having FDBP. This stands for factitious disorder by proxy, more commonly known as Munchausen's.
