“You know, once people get this central idea wrong, that a girl could really be a boy, it breaks everything. It breaks safeguarding, it breaks logic, it breaks common sense, it breaks medicine, it breaks education, it breaks government, it breaks institutions, and all of them start acting in ways that are antithetical to the way they’re supposed to act. Like, these teachers were harming this girl [by using the child’s chosen name and pronouns]. They didn’t realize that, but they were doing anti-safeguarding things in the name of safeguarding.” (47:54–48:25)
