As is usually the case, the kid was brainwashed into transitioning at HER school:
https://www.opindia.com/2021/03/can...ng-his-biologically-female-child-as-daughter/
The father spent a while arguing this and free speech, basically trying to undo the 'systemic transitioning', and he wound up in jail for it and continued to refer to his daughter as a girl.
Pop culture is basically if you are a tomboy or a femboy, you must therefore be trans, and this is how the matter is being pushed forward in our Karen-pocalypse days.
I believe the UK government has mentioned that it plans to allow anyone to regender themselves without any medical opinion too.

I'm curious if they did that because of this gender swapping nonsense.
Well all genders are meant to be equal right?
Recently I got told of by a wokey storm on YouTube comments for trying to remind people that women can't tolerate alcohol as much as men can on videos of crazy drunk women.
'THATS BS I KNOW WOMEN WHO CAN OUTDRINK ANY MAN!!!'
Like how is this a gender competition thing now?
I wondered how folk could afford to sit and make crap YouTube comments for so long. Now I know! Neetbux!

It was actually due to people suggesting that if a woman in a video is drunk but not the men that are filming her, that is somehow predatory.
Never mind that maybe the woman chose to drink and the men didn't, or they were all drinking but women have much less water in their bodies.
I regret making the comment now, it blew up like mad with a complete disregard of actual scientific differences between men and women, as usual.
If you're a man, and you're with a woman, and she is drunk but you're not, then you are a rapist now.
I 'unno man a whole bunch of dudes filming a drunk girl does sound kinda predatory.

Nvm too off topic.

It's all about context, without that it's wild accusations and thoughts.
Maybe they were all friends and they always filmed eachother? We'll never know.
Weird thing to take a punt on

Passing judgement without full context is a weird thing to do? I have sum bad newz 4 u
I have no problem with the various pronouns. It’s more customisation for your character! Who doesn’t like additional customisable options?!
It’s a new concept so people need to be patient, both ways. It’s grammatically confusing for those who their whole lives have only referred to males as ‘he’, etc.
I’ve not come across it yet in real life.

A number of support staff or those who work in wellbeing roles at Uni have their pronouns in their email signature. Seen it happen more and more but it's up to them what they include. I guess in their role it makes some people more comfortable to talk with them.
Perhaps BBC sports presenters should resort to grunting at their viewers?
Referring to a natal female person competing in a womens sporting event as 'she/ her'!
Whatever next?

People quite often film drunk people. When most people have a video camera in their pocket at all times, a lot of stuff is filmed.
Why are you focusing solely on the sexes of the people involved? Why are you referring to the male people as adults and the female person as a child? Why are you making assumptions of hostile intent based solely on the sexes of the people involved? Would you do the same if, for example, the person being filmed was "white" and the people doing the filming were "black"?

If you tell me what you couldn't understand, I'll try to explain. Although I don't know how I could have used simpler language than I did, I'll try to think of something. But I'd need to know what you couldn't understand.
