The gnostic no-contact
Wait though.
Scary Jeffrey says “I coach a lot of people one on one who want to go no contact with their parents and cannot bring themselves to admit it.”
If they can’t bring themselves to admit it then how does he know they want to?
It has to be a kind of gnosis, right? A superior mystical inward Knowledge that special people like Jeffrey Marsh have and others lack?
Which is how the whole ideology works, isn’t it. People have superior mystical inward gnosis that they are the Other sex despite what their bodies look like on the outside. The special enlightened awakened people who Know this are the ones deputized to inform the rest of us of this magical new Enlightenment.
So what Jeffrey March means by “coach people” is that he pushes them to make enemies of their parents even though they have told him they don’t want to.
They feel guilty, they feel awful, they know it’s the right thing they wanna do and they can’t admit it.
They know it’s the right thing they wanna do even though they say it isn’t, and Jeffrey Marsh is the magical gnostic seer who Knows what they want despite what they tell him they want.
The guy is a horror show all by himself.
[Updating to point out that the tweet is wrong about teens; Marsh doesn’t specify age.]
Except when they don’t. That’s when influencers need to explain to them: “You might really be trans, even though you don’t know it. Plus, we have free candy for you!”
An influencer from wayback name of Yeshua bar Joseph counselled all to beware of such ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing.’ Except that this bastard is more like a mongrel dog dressed up as a goat.
Alternatively: ‘Come into my parlour’ said the spider to the fly.
I guess in this case “non-binary” means “guy who wears granny dresses and way too much pink eye shadow”.
He’s a special enlightened awakened person with superior mystical inward gnosis, but he can’t look in a fucking mirror.
“Coach” is transpeak for “groom.”
Talk about a face deserving of a slap. Smug bastard!
I haven’t seen Aungle Jeffrey say this, but I have seen screen print of a conversation during which a self-doubting “trans kid” was assured that he/she was experiencing “imposter syndrome,” and is most assuredly trans.
Jeffrey crouches, ready to pounce.
Nothing performative or attention-seeking here at all
I can’t finish watching. He makes me sick.
I didn’t finish watching either. I might, if I can work up the stoic calm.
I did watch this one. No need to thank me. He didn’t say Teens, at least in this one. He says what Our Disaffected Josh has been saying about not contacting toxic parents. I’m not defending, but we need to reflect accurately on particular videos that he puts out what he’s saying.
We can guess what he’s implying, but not impute it.
Which is almost certainly not legal when dealing with minors. My parents (my mother, anyway) was toxic. The school was required to contact her about the things that we did or that were done to us. That was dangerous to us, literally physically dangerous, in a real, empirical, demonstrable way. That did not stop them from contacting.
If a student has some sort of court order stating that the parents are not to be told stuff (which would probably only happen if they were no longer in the parents’ custody, I imagine – Screechy might be better able to speak to that), then I could see not contacting parents.
And it isn’t up to the school to make the call on whether parents are toxic. It isn’t up to the student, either. There are particular agencies that deal with that; the school can contact those agencies if abuse is suspected, but I doubt “parent calls this child he just because she has a penis” might not cut it. Then again, with so many agencies captured, it might.
One of the most disturbing sections in Abigail Shrier’s book was about California school rules that said teachers were not to inform parents of their children’s switch of “gender”, including new names, new pronouns, and the use of opposite-sex restrooms.
Mike @ 11 – No, I know he didn’t say teens; it was Oli London (I have no idea who that is) who said that. I probably should have pointed out the inaccuracy, but I was focused on Marsh’s confident contradiction of what people tell him.
