Who is the female in the picture?

I can't tell if it's a sister, a mother, a child, or a wife.

Either way, it grosses me out.
 
Somehow the deranged scribbling of the autistic madman Christian Weston Chandler are more aesthetically pleasing than this vile propaganda.

Thought she was pointing to a French baggot...

Edit: extra effort since NYT decided to pozz up Father's Day. The ones with her are always seated or close-ups so you can't tell what a brave lil' pooner she is.

The ‘wife’ in these pictures has a smile that reaches no further than her mouth. She looks absolutely miserable
 
So, essentially this "dad" is not related to the child at all, and there is a sperm donor out there somewhere who is the kid's genetic real dad?

I think she's going to have some more questions when she grows up, chief.

Another successful Female-to-Bitchboy transition!

Getting absolutely clowned on by your stepdaughter must be BRUTAL I hope this lil d00d doesn't spend too much time crying into those gay-male-coded tank tops!!!
 
I feel so bad for the daughters of pooners.

What message do they get when they’re shoved into gender stereotypes of girls/women and a parent has decided they wanted to be “liberated” from them and live as doods?

No one is more endorsing of gender stereotypes than troons and poons.
“I liked to play with cars and trucks over dolls as a child and didn’t like to wear dresses/I played dress up with my sisters and didn’t do sports”
 
I used to be ok with it and be "tolerant" but now I just think that any flavor of gayness, or pretending to be gay or whatever, you can't have kids. This shit should be banned.
So many fertility clinics have discounts and grants for fags and poons to make autism test tube babies to fuck up and it's just not ok.
 
Parents are supposed to help children manage their feelings, not the other way round. That's your kid, not your therapist or drinking buddy or partner. (And where's the wife while "dad" is talking to her kid like this?). If you're constantly having these ridiculous self-indulgent emotional episodes in front of the kid and expect her to take care of you, how is she supposed to ever learn how to manage her own feelings and problems? And how is she supposed to ever feel like she's in safe hands and can trust you to look after her when you make it clear to her that you can't look after yourself? If you are having Big Feelings, you keep that shit to yourself and the adults in your life. That poor bloody kid.
Very sad for a girl to want to grew up and have a beard, a sign of medical issues. Now she'll think it's normal instead of a warning sign.
I mean, if "dad" was the one who gave birth to her, or if "dad" leaves her heckin T gel/shots lying around the house, she just might.
 
The ‘wife’ in these pictures has a smile that reaches no further than her mouth. She looks absolutely miserable
I imagine normal/healthy wahmen simultaneously like men's masculinity, while being a bit confused and irked by some of our behaviours and habits. (Same way we view women)

So when lil' pooners act like a mix of a 13 year old trying too hard, with no actual masculine presence, plus the worst male behaviours I'd amplify if I wanted to drive my girlfriend batshit, I wonder what their "wives" are thinking.

"Zach, sweetie, do you mind not kicking off your messy boots on my clean floor?"
"Whatever babe, us bros are just messy, no time to clean the work boots when it's heckin' Miller Time. Can you take a picture of my sick new barbed wire tat?"
> looks at "Zach's" child-size boots, curated WFH crafting desk, Organic Lo-Carb Miller 64 in the Instacart order, and twig arms
"Claire can you give the Masc DudeBro theatrics a rest for a day? We're the only ones here and you're not fooling anyone."
 
What is it like to be a daughter of a 'parent' that hated being female so much that they basically went through surgery and hormones to remove any trace of it? What does that do to a young girl's psyche and impression of herself?
I mean, if "dad" was the one who gave birth to her, or if "dad" leaves her heckin T gel/shots lying around the house, she just might.
It could trigger a form of PCOS in the daughter, which would put her into all sorts of risk catagories: Heart disease, obesity, diabetes, etc.

If T-gel ends up hurting the child, does the 'dad' love the daughter enough to stop using it if necessary?
