Thanks for writing about this, Eva. It's important that these narratives don't go unchallenged.

It's not hard to see why Crow Hayden-Kaye considers herself an outcast. Life has dealt her a difficult hand in the form of her appearance, which is neither conventionally girlish nor conventionally attractive. Is it any wonder that when Hayden-Kaye's school exposed her to gender ideology before she was even in high school she decided she didn't meet the definition of girl? For all the talk about fluidity in the trans-queer world, the trans eye sees only sex-based stereotypes. Girls who don't look like girls are therefore boys.

I have to think that mental health professionals who treated teens before the advent of gender identity ideology found effective ways to help youth deal with this sort of problem. In fact, there's probably a therapist in Canada who'd be able to assist Crow in navigating her problem (which might well be gender dysphoria caused by her appearance) while eschewing the false promises of gender transition. With any luck, the rising backlash against the excesses of trans activism will embolden such individuals to demand their righful place in the profession.
