Multiple independent outlets (Reuters, HuffPost, ClutchPoints, CBC, Advocate) quote Natasha Cloud's Threads post addressed 'To every trans kid/person' containing the claimed statements that they are part of her community and tribe, belong, are loved, are seen, are perfect as they are, and will always be protected by her.
What was said
… Who uses Threads? Nobody uses Threads? Okay, all right, just making sure. So here's what the uh here's what the post actually said. This, uh, Natasha Cloud goofball, here's what she writes after she got in a Nez Canter Freedom's face. She writes, "To every trans kid, you are a part of my community and tribe. You belong. You are loved. You are seen. You are perfect as you are. You will always be protected by me." Let me just take you through the logic of this stupidity. She's telling children that they were born in the wrong body and then telling them, "You are perfect as you are." Now, in what world would that make any sense at all? …
