the HBO documentary Transhood.Said Carlson, introducing a clip of a young transgender kid and her mother: “What we’re about to show you is so disturbing it would have qualified as a crime not so long ago.
It shows a four-year-old child named Phoenix and his mother at a Unitarian church service. The mother brings Phoenix to the altar to tell the congregation—again, Phoenix is four years old—now identifies as a girl.”Writing for the Daily Beast, Dawn Ennis disputed Carlson’s horror: “At that age, children do know the difference between boys and girls, and what we are.
Trans kids do, too, and all we ask is that parents listen to those trans kids. I am living proof. I was four when I asked my mother why she thought I was a boy.
