— Dr Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) July 22, 2024Elon Musk’s son Xavier now identifies as Vivian Jenna Wilson and has undergone name and gender change in 2022. Elon Musk claims that the permission to allow his son the medication to stop his Puberty was forced out of him under false pretences of his son being at the “risk of suicide”. Musk further went on to say that he has now lost his son, and they call it “dead naming” for a cause. Elon Musk argues that his son did not die a natural death but was killed and murdered by the “woke mind virus”. He further added that he has taken it upon himself to completely destroy the woke mind virus.
What was Musk’s trans daughter Vivian’s reaction?
Vivian Jenna Wilson, the trans daughter of Elon Musk, opened up about the time in her childhood when she was ridiculed by her father for being queer and feminine. She went on to say that Musk was an absent father. Musk made bold statements that she was “not a girl” and figuratively dead. Vivian opened up in an interview to say that Musk was not an ideal father, and he thought that she would not speak up and let everything go “unchallenged”.
She went on to say that as far as she remembers, Elon Musk was not a supportive father, and she and her siblings were cared for only by their mothers and nannies. She further used words like “cold”, “narcissistic”, and “uncaring” for her father.
What is the public reaction?
Elon Musk did not shy away from publically making statements against the transgender community. His remarks bagged heavy criticism from the LGBTQAI+ communities from all over the world. The interview has raised debates about parental rights and the influence of cultural and political rights on personal decisions.
However, many stood in favour of Elon, saying that he has raised legitimate concerns about the medical treatment and choices of minors. Most of the internet and the LGBTQAI+ community have started protests against the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, saying that his might and his contributions to the field of science have been several hundred light years ahead, but his statements are rigorous and stigmatizing to transgender individuals and the whole community.
Elon Musk went on to say that he was not aware of what Puberty Blockers were and was tricked by his son Xavier into signing forms that permitted him to take Puberty Blockers. Elon Musk claimed that he was told that Puberty Blockers are just sterilization drugs. In response to this viral interview, Musk’s son Xavier, now turned trans daughter, Vivian Wilson, has come forward in a long thread by saying that she has disowned her father and called Elon Musk “Narcissistic”.
What is Puberty?
Puberty is that stage of life where adolescents transform and come off as “sexually mature” and “capable of reproduction”. Puberty is a very sensitive topic in recent times as adolescents come of age and discover their sexuality. It occurs in a varied form in terms of physical transformation in both men and women. It generally begins by the age of 8 in girls and the age of 10 in the case of boys. In women, Puberty is usually marked by physical transformation that involves breast development, menstruation and acne, whereas in boys, Puberty is marked by voice change, genital transformation and increased heights.
What are Puberty Blockers?
Puberty in children is marked by the release of gonadotropin hormone in the brain, which triggers the release of estrogen and testosterone hormone- the sex hormones in females and males, respectively. Puberty Blockers are drugs that are used to delay the production of these hormones. Medically, they are termed as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. They are medically used to stop Puberty. Research centres and medical institutes claim that Puberty Blockers stop the ovaries and the testicles from producing sex hormones, which causes the cease in production of other related hormones. Basically, Puberty Blockers are responsible for ceasing and delaying Puberty in children.
What do Puberty Blockers do, and why are they prescribed?
Puberty Blockers basically delay and stop Puberty in young children and adolescents. They are a recent innovation in the field of medical science and are generally prescribed to children who are struggling with gender dysphoria and children who are anxious about their gender and identity. This drug helps those children by providing them with time to think clearly about the gender they identify with and explore their biological sex further. In many cases, this drug helps in combating social anxiety and mental stress.
The effects and repercussions of this drug can be reversed and stopped by taking medications. In males, Puberty Blockers slow down the growth of body and pubic hair along with restricting the growth of genital organs. In the case of females, this drug prevents the development of breasts and stops the menstrual cycle.
