'Let Bird Kids Fly’: Therapist’s memes mocking adults enabling child transition go viral


Winn says encouraging children to transition is like encouraging kids to fly with cardboard wings


A therapist is using satirical memes about the plight of "Bird Kids" to mock trans-activists' arguments supporting medical gender transitions for children.

Stephanie Winn, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Portland, Oregon, started a meme campaign about a fictional subgroup of kids who identify as birds, likening discrimination they face to the debates over medical intervention for gender-confused minors, parental rights and mental health issues among transgender youth. Her satirical comparisons have garnered hundreds of thousands of viewers and captured the attention of prominent figures like Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk.

The first meme of the series shows a young child wearing cardboard wings on his back and includes the text: "Cardboard wings are wings. Let bird kids fly." Winn jokingly advocates for adults to allow Bird Kids to attempt to fly with their make-shift wings and added the hashtags #CardboardWingsAreWings, #LetBirdKidsFly and #ProtectBirdKids.
