The real dark irony is Jo saying they probably would have transitioned when they were younger if they were aware of gender expression.

Wait what? Did she actually say that?

“The more of their accounts of gender dysphoria I’ve read, with their insightful descriptions of anxiety, dissociation, eating disorders, self-harm and self-hatred, the more I’ve wondered whether, if I’d been born 30 years later, I too might have tried to transition."

“If I’d found community and sympathy online that I couldn’t find in my immediate environment, I believe I could have been persuaded to turn myself into the son my father had openly said he’d have preferred.”

She said this at the very beginning of her going terf for what that's worth. And cis people can't be persuaded to transition.

And cis people can't be persuaded to transition.

Yeah but transphobes don't believe that. They're convinced that confused kids get groomed into being transgender the same way socially isolated boys get groomed into incel/far right groups.
