Long story short: Australian kid at 12 decided he was a girl, Mom gave him her hormone medicine to help him transition, because his bones were growing to man-size and his face was getting masculine, and if they waited until he was 16 and got a court order to begin treatment he might have been an ugly woman. This could not stand, obviously! Except now he thinks he's not transgender anymore and is actually a boy and Mom is getting him breast reduction surgery.

She is not a mom. She should be called a "cunt", for the precise reasons why it is wrong to call people that word in normal circumstances. It reduces people to a single body part, and in uncomplimentary fashion. Well, that's what she deserves. She is a failure as a mother, all she did was push this kid out of her womb and chemically abuse him for her own emotional gratification. "Bitch" is too good for her, because actual bitches are better mothers than that. She's Australian, so "cunt" isn't all that bad a term down there (if you'll pardon the expression), from what I have heard from people who have been and returned safely.

Big shocker, it's a single mother.

And in the interviews, this dipshit has the gall to blame the doctor for misdiagnosing him and asking why no one told her to let him work things out. The kid, at 12, said it felt like he wished he could just change everything about himself. That's called "puberty" and everything DOES change. It's called "growing up". Defending her paying attention to her kid's idiocy, the mother says that no kid would do it "on a whim." She put her child through what she calls "one of the most harrowing, stressful...experiences you can have" And she put him through it based on the opinions of a 12 year old! Also, to say that no one would do it if it wasn't a real issue for them is nonsense. There are many cases of hypochondriacs who seek out extreme treatment regimens for the attention. Hell, kids will do just about anything to be the center of attention, as a transitioning child would be. If they don't have any obvious male role models, boys are going to be very inclined to try to be more like Mommy, and do things that might be perceived as getting closer to her. There's all kinds of reasons with plenty of precedent why he might actually lie or be honestly mistaken. But you don't give people drugs, because a CHILD is really sure about something.

And the stupid interviewer on Australian 60 Minutes (what makes it Australian? Does it have a pouch, or is everyone on the show an ex-con? ) keeps humoring the kid and his gestatrix, asking leading questions. "Was it a difficult decision for you to break the law and do what your kid wanted?" Of course the twit was too stupid to realize right away that her line is "Yes," and has to think about it for a minute for stammering to the sympathetic response he was dangling in her face. Then, when he's talking to an actual scientist, the interviewer argues that "it's incredibly distressing" for a kid with a genuine case of gender dysphoria. Yeah, it's 'incredibly distressing' for people who get diagnosed with cancer, too. But you don't humor them during their denial phase!

And for the deep thinker who got this rolling by deciding he was a girl, the worst part about his current situation is having to wear baggy clothes. That's why we don't care what he thinks. About anything.

Amusing note in the video: Australians pronounce girl like "gull" and the female hormone is "eestrogen". If you are transitioning to a "gull", does that involving getting feathers implanted? This is not a matter of accents: there is a letter "r" in there for a reason!
